Ace-Wing... NO MORE!


I have been happily reading these preview articles and I am finding that I love this game more than I ever have before. If you are still salty about what FFG is doing to restore STAR WARS X-WING I encourage you to get your head into these articles.

The Take Action article previews the New Actions in XW2!

COLLECTION DIARY: MAY 2018

I went all Imperial this month! Was a good month of toy collecting. I have had the idea of building a nice-ass base for all of my main factions since the game was announced. For the Imperials I am using the cool 40K Marines kit, and some other scratch builds. The wacky camping LED Lamp is going to be used as an Imperial power generator.



Happy Imperial Legionnaire Boss out!

FFG XW2 CONVERSION KITS UNBOX: HUTT CARTEL!

My HUTT Cartel IS Glorious! After watching The Fantasy Flight SCUM Conversion Kits unboxing (go to 01:32) I am pleased to see that The Cartel has become even better than it was in XW1! Checkout all seven (get it?) of the important ships for The Cartel below.




Note that all of these Conversion Kits come with four of the nice new Medium Bases! I was a little concerned about that since I love the Large Ships with Bounty Hunters and so forth being important to SCUM. I am going to own all of the kits so I will have plenty of these bases for my huge EPIC games. I am happy about that, and everything coming for SCUM in XW2!

Thanks Fantasy Flight Games you did great!

Very Happy Cartel Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS THE NEW MOVEMENT RULES FOR XW2!

FFG just posted a full and in depth article on The NEW Movement Rules for XW2! This is looking so fine in my opinion, and we got the T-65 and TIE AX-1 Dials previewed. Checkout this coolness in the A Few Maneuvers article!




Fantasy Flight has vastly improved these classic ships... now they are NEW & WONDERFUL AGAIN! How anyone could take this for a bad thing... "Is quite beyond my capacity!"


Happy XW2 Boss out!

X-WING 2ND: THE NEW B-WING MODEL!

Obviously the new baby got a new paint job. Now take a closer look gang. Her nose-cockpit is sunk into the head crest and you can clearly see the shadow, rather than shaded wash paint-work. Now that is a joining point that is working like a cute plastic hollow toy egg. There are new hing structure connection points on her chest too. This girl's head rotates and her wings move... YAH!





"This Deal Is Getting Better All The Time!"



Happy Rebel Boss out!

Yah My Star-babies!


Thanks to good ole reliable GameNerds for making my week! 

Happy Boss out!

X-WING CHALLENGE MATCHES AT WC 2018 AND ANSWERS TO MANY QUESTIONS!

Watching all of the Challenge Matches stream yesterday on FFG's Live Twitch was very fun and confirmed for me that all of this NEW X-WING is just Magnificence!


The host answered many inquiries, including the very telling statement that questions asked about certain new ship sculpts have been unanswered to save some fun for the future releases and preview articles. I asked several times about movable foils on B-Wings for example... just saying... lol!




SPIOLER: The last match was very fun to watch! Two of my favorite ships in the whole game came right to the dead-zone yesterday... This is what X-WING was always supposed to be... YAH, and now it is... again. Thanks FFG!!! 😊😍⚠️


With info gleaned from the Twitcher, and this interview video... most intelligent people, especially Veteran Wingers should know all they need to know and are going to be very happy to convert to XW2!

VERY Happy Boss out!

THE NEW X-WING CONVERSION KITS AND WAVE ONE LAUNCH!

Some people have been having issues finding this information so here it is for you gang! You do have to dig a little for it... lol... I dug. So if you are smart and buying on line you can get the whole of your current X-Wing Ship Collection (except for EPIC) upgraded to Second Edition with all three kits for about $120 bucks delivered.


If you are crazy like I am and you have say fifteen plus Imperial TIE Fighters you can still make due. I figure to use the new cards for the hero pilots, and print nice enough copies in B&W for the hoard of TIE Fighters they are leading into battle... GO EPIC PLAY!

FFG ANNOUNCES STAR WARS X-WING SECOND EDITION!!!

FFG DID IT! WE EXPECTED IT, AND I LOVE IT... YOU SHOULD TOO MY STAR BROTHERS!

VERY HAPPY BOSS OUT!

FFG NEW PREVIEWS OF X-WING WAVE FOURTEEN!

FFG has previewed all of the (pre-Solo) expansions over this past week, and the best NEW Ship coming for X-Wing in my view in Wave Fourteen is the crazy TIE Reaper! 


I am not sad at all to see yet another Imperial Shuttle, this Dam-Beast is awesome! Checkout all of the Imperial Glory coming soon in the Sowing Fear article!



The Save The Rebellion expansion is doing a lot to improve the U-Wing and T-65 X-Wing... but MEH! I have been doing these very things for years as Rogue Squadron. If I waited for FFG to fix things wrong in this game I would of stopped playing a long while ago. 



Yeah it is cool that Fantasy Flight has finally made the S-Foils trick happen, but that should of been done three years ago as a Rogue Squadron or Heroes Of Yavin expansion.

I wonder what we are going to get from The (Kinda) Solo Film?




Kinda Happy Boss out!
