    Default Imperial Veterans announced.

    Reprints of the Defender, and the Bomber.

    Some very, very saucy upgrades as well. Very saucy.

    Gamma Squadron Veterans are the TIE Bomber pilots I've been waiting for, normal Bombers just didn't measure up with their expensive munitions ... they won't be be cheap, easy to use or swarmable still but the EPT slot will do something for the reliablity (too bad I already painted two bombers with the white Stripes)

    I actually thought, the Defender had his little place with the Arrival of Mk. II Ion Engine-Upgrade (getting rid of the stress without suffering too much of an imposition was real gift) - but who am I to complain that my favorite craft will get better...

    And massed Tractor Beams are going to be fun...

    I'm intrigued to see which ships they do for the Rebel and Scum equivalent, when their turn comes around.

    I thought this was a thread on some bad-*ss Guard veterans, then I saw the forum section it was in. :P

    I hope they space plane very good.

    Defender is a favourite of mine anyway, so should be acecakes.

    And it's at least one more named female pilot.

    Anyways. When you're counted as a Guard Veteran after your first five minutes on your first battlefield, it's not saying very much

    Is there a difference between those two? #Empire4Dayz

    Rebels don't do Drugs. Just the Scum.

    Only thing I wish is that the Tie/D title included cannons up to 4 points for some Mangler Cannon shenanigans
    But this is a must buy, I've been trying for ages to make the Tie Defender work in my lists but it always just under-performs
    It doesn't help that a delta squadron pilot costs the same as Vader with Tie/X1 and ATC

    Also is that Maarek Steele in a tie defender I see?

    This'll be another interesting set to look into when I finally get around to doing Imperials. Right now I'm still building up Scum and Rebels, so I look forward to seeing what they get. Maybe we'll get some Rogue and Wraith Squadron cards? (Likely no General Salm in a Y-Wing... unless it's there to encourage some brave soul to seriously try a large game where they field 36 Y-Wings.)

    The nice thing about Scum and Rebels is that they share a lot of ships, so you can repaint them to be pretty similar and then borrow ships from one faction to use with the other. There's a small bit of overlap with Scum and Imps, mainly just Slave 1 right now I think, but hey, I'll have a Firespray to add to my Imps when they're ready to go.
