40k Warzone Presents: The Star Wars: Armada Battle of Endor Scenario

So even though Wave 1 hasn't been released yet, and Wave 2 is still some time away, Crazy and I have been assembling an Endor scenario for when we inevitably have more Armada than sense.

Star Wars: Armada

Tell me you have heard of this game? You better have, because it's damn good.

X-Wing: Wave VI Locked and Loaded!

So, Wave 6 for X-Wing has finally arrived and it is quite the game changer!

While Scum and Villainy ships themselves haven't been making any top tables, an upgrade card or two have had an absolutely massive impact on the way players craft their squads.

Join the Rebellion! (Or Don't, Y'know Cos They Suck)

So last time we explored what it will what it will be like to wield the ultimate power of the Imperial Navy, bringing powerful but slow ships into battle and winning through sheer crippling force. However Armada is shaping up to be as diverse as it is magical (cue fanboyism), and below are a couple of ship builds that I think could cause some serious problems for even the most experienced of Imperial tacticians.

Star Destroyers! Oh, and We're Back!

So....

It's been a while since we've been around (that's a bit of an understatement) but with a new year and FINALLY some free time, we'll hopefully be back on track with regular content soon!

Crazy, TommyH and I have working hard to make this Saturday's X-Wing Store Championships as big as we can, (while also somehow fitting in some Conquest, 40k, LotR, our actual day jobs, and me getting married) and with 30 players confirmed as paid things are shaping up to be pretty amazing.

However while all Crazy and TommyH mentally prepare for the weekend, I find my own attention wandering to something more... Epic...

40k Conquest review

Conquest is here! The latest 40k related released from Fantasy Flight Games has landed into stores and has begun to suck up our sweet gaming money. Let me start out by saying that the game is GREAT. Here is why:

X-Wing Rebel Aces - Keyen Farlander is the man!

Rebel Aces was released last week, and what a set it is.

FFG In-Flight Report from Gencon: Plans for Star Wars.

Just finished watching FFG's in flight report and here are some quick points:

1. Quote from the CEO re huge ships for Imperials: "I wouldn't worry too much about the other guys not having those types of ships."

2. Star Wars Armada will have all of their ships available in separate blister packs as similar to X-Wing. They don't want to have you buying the core set over and over just to play bigger fleets.

3. They plan releases 24-36 months ahead. The 24 month period being unchangeable and the 24-36 month period having some wiggle room.

4. They are not worried too much about the Star Wars licence with Disney. The CEO seemed very confident nothing would change re that.

Spicerack's X-Wing 100pt List

Well, since everyone else is doing it, I thought I might as well post my list as well.

TommyH's 100pt X-Wing Squad

CrAzY's 100 Point X-Wing List

The X-Wing tournament we hosted last weekend was a blast! It made me think some more about how to run Wedge, sohere it is my new 100 point list.

We just started X-Wing.

Let me pretext this article by saying that we don’t hate 7^th edition 40k, nor are we looking to “jump on the wagon” as one of our ‘readers’ told us. So in saying that, let me move onto the topic of how we got started in X-Wing.
