New faction confirmed:

[Mr Mystery]

Yay!!

[interrogator_chaplain]

Oooohhh, third faction! WANT, KNOW, MORE!

*Update*
New faction models on display, needs a higher res, but here we are:


(SPECULATION AHOY!)
Alright so I've been Wookiepedeing (Sweet mercy that sounds terrible.) The IG-2000 was the ship used by the bounty hunter droid IG-88. So expect to see this as some sort of an Assassin Ship, with the non-named pilot being probably some sort of bounty hunter.

The M3-A Interceptor is a light interceptor with Manalorian roots, largely affiliated with the Hutts, Smugglers and Corellian Security. (My bet is we'll be seeing the Hutts and Smugglers more than Corellian Security.) This is probably going to be as light as the Z95 or Tie Fighter. It's going to be on a low rung.

The Star Viper is a heavier starfighter based on the Prince Xizor's Virago. It's got a pair of heavy laser cannons, and uses torpedo's. It would seem there's the potential for "Buzz droids" to harm nearby craft. Probably going to sit in the same category as the B-Wing, but perhaps a little bit more agile.

That aside, I hope there's nothing but good stuff for the HWK!

[Mr Mystery]

SO excite!

Seems the pack for S&V comes with two Headhunters, a Y-wing, and 'parts' for Slave 1 and the HWK-290. Very interested to see how this develops!

Star Viper is essentially Xisor's Virago, and the other one is the mystery ship from Intimidation.

There's also some kind of land based game coming, but I'm not so excite about that.



DROOL!



MOAR DROOL!!



Yay?

[Patrick Boyle]

Yay?

It's a reskin of FFG's Descent, a D&D-lite RPG/Boardgame, where one player is the 'DM' controlling the dungeons/enemies and the others are the party of adventurers. If that sounds neat to you, this will be that with Star Wars. And that AT-ST mini is just...awesome.

Also, Wave 6 ships in the case with MSRPs. Starviper gets a bump similar to the decimator for it's size, while the IG 2000 looks pretty wimpy to still be $30 alongside the Falcon/Shuttle/Firespray/Outrider...

[Mr Mystery]

Never tell me the price

[Mr Mystery]

Clearer pic of the new ships. Really, really liking these!

BUT!!!!

[eldargal]

Imperial Assault: Female twi'lek Jedi and female smuggler characters, yay FFG. (can't see a model for the female smuggler though). Miniatures look surprisingly nice, would be great if they expanded it to be tabletop rather than board game eventually.

New faction confirmed:

YES

YES

YES

****ING YES!

*dance*

[eldargal]

Yeah I'm happy too, opens up a lot of fun new possibilities. People on the official FFG boards are whining about a huge Imperial ship not being revealed though.
