  1. Or just put them on the gozanti base. Looks dodgy, but they sort of fit (well nearly - the clamp on the front of the pylon gets in the way a bit). Would work for gaming though.
  2. Do Lambdas hang from it like bats? I am so going to try this tonight...
  3. No x-wing scale ISD!!! Come on FFG - what are you thinking?
  4. So I just worked it out... Instead of a third of each of the mods, we got 3 ordnance cards. Homing missiles, cluster missiles and ion torpedoes. I am ok with that personally - still adds up to the same number - but I can understand if others are not. Hysterically, the box art is still showing the previewed (x3 mods) image!
  5. Well the fact that you didn't get it is really sad - but that is a great attitude you have there. If FFG ever produce one, I will vote that you get a freebie straight off the the boat! Best wishes.
  6. Gothic might be the biggest flop of them all. First thing people are going to do when it launches is draw paralkels wuth Armada, and I highly doubt GW staff has the knowledge to desugn somwthing even 20% as good. And apparently their proof reading sucks too!
  7. I wish all of this was explained in the film. It is a bit hollow to just have "good guys" vs "bad guys". One of the things I liked about the original trilogy, and even the prequels, was the underlying theme of dissolution of the republic and centralisation of power. Not least because that story had real credibility and precedent in the analogy with Ancient Rome - so I could believe in it and even empathise with both sides a little bit more than just the good vs evil thing. TFA just lacks that depth - shame really.
  8. Dear FFG, Please post another wave 8 preview today. I have been ever such a good boy - honest. I have; Done all my Christmas shopping Put up a tree (12 foot of the damned thing) Ordered all the new-stuff Tipped the cleaner near $100 Invited a friend who is going through a messy divorce for Xmas lunch Agreed to have my wife's family over on Xmas day Stopped short of grounding my daughter forever for claiming Rebels was better than Empire Strikes Back Defended FFG and the Mouse in several threads So I do deserve it, right...(particularly for the ESB thing - shudders)
  9. You could just use it for optimal deployment in turn 1 Equip the Requiem Title which allows deployed ships to fire at PS8 Equip fleet officer Choose the fastest straight maneuver from the Goz's dial Deploy the ships at PS12 and K-turn them behind the approaching enemy fighters Activate fleet officer to give them a focus Shoot at PS8 Was thinking of a very similar set up. Two tie interceptors with crack shot, same deal on deployment except - deploy short and in the enemy's face at range 1 (assuming they don't have PS9) so you can target lock. Focus from fleet officer. That is pretty much guaranteed 8 hits at PS 8 with crack shot if needed to help force damage through. If they are dead, they can't shoot back!
  10. Rey is in fact the daughter of Yoda and Jabba's pet Rancor (Daphne). Use the force - you know it to be true...
  11. Space rocks published it, so if they faked it the Mouse is going to be pretty cross with them! Unlikely...
  12. Nah, still a rookie compared to Cheese Wedge But like, Wedge didn't actually do anything impressive in the movies. He shot a couple TIE Fighters and threw some torpedoes at a big giant still object with no defenses whatsoever.Poe on the other hand did that and then some. This isn't because Wedge isn't a good pilot so much as it is the film techniques differed so much back then and they couldn't make it as impressive as they can now Are you seriously using meta/real world limitations to argue the capability of pilot skill? For real, are you..? Poe Dameron also had more than five minutes of screentime. Darth Vader was an ace pilot in A New Hope and the movie showed it despite the 1977 special effects. Wedge was just a guy who kept inexplicably surviving. Basically.Now, to his credit... He DID fly a T-65 X-Wing through the Death Star II and THAT AIN'T EASY..! But to his discredit Lando did it better. Honestly, I think Lando should be PS8. Because he's sure as hell better than most pilots out there. **** that man can fly..! I mean, not only did he fly it through the Death Star II, but he aced bigtime in the fleet battle! He was a huge target, but outflew countless TIE Fighters. Hell, honestly... I sustain that he's equal if not better than Han. Han's good, but is he REALLY better than Lando..? #TeamLando It is Christmas, so everyone should get +1 pilot ability! Except Jar Jar...
  13. Watched film yesterday - took the 6 year old and her best friend. It was good - as in great cgi, flight scenes et al. I was hoping for it to be awesome, but sadly the whole episode 4 repeat feeling, some pretty lame acting in parts, and a lack of back story to some of the characters was a bit unfortunate. I found Harrison Ford particularly old and doddery, and just not convincing - and Han used to be my favourite character. Still - it is a welcome return for the glory that is Star Wars, and brilliant just for that! So... EXCITEMENT!!
  14. I agree these things can happen fast, but the blanking out of the dates makes one very suspicious that in this case there is a time-lag when orders were being taken, or misleading information being given to customers.
  15. That Neb-b was lovely, so from that perspective this is a shame. Sadly, somewhat inevitable given Disney/Lucasfilm plans for the Star Wars franchise. All my sympathy is however reserved for those who ordered and paid for goods that they will not now receive. They are the real victims in this, and at Christmas that is a lot of money to lose. The really awful thing is the strong suspicion that Space Rocks continued to make sales in the full knowledge that they would not be fulfilling those orders (hence the redaction of the dates). There is a word for that - Fraud. I agree with the poster that urged those affected to notify their payment providers of the full circumstances, and let them pursue the vendor. Many credit cards provide protection against fraud, and if this was fraudulent trading, they will be best placed to knowwhat to do and how to do it. Perhaps also, we as a community need to understand also that FFG/ Disney etc and their recent actions to better control Licensing and Distribution is not an "evil" empire building excercise, but actually protects us (the consumer) from these sorts of people just as much as it protects the company/s. FFG in particular invest a lot of effort in this community, and it is not good for anybody when this kind of thing happens (even if they have no direct involvement). Like I said - I feel truly sorry for those who have lost out.
  16. I am greatly relieved! Look good too. Thanks for the info, very decent indeed. EXCITEMENT!
  17. Interceptors going back to back I can live with. If the Advanceds have to go face to face, well that would feel a little weird. Imagine ending up opposite the "big man". Freaky...
  18. Perhaps you feel you are being treated unfairly if enough people ignore the same guy it triggers some kind of automated system that tells a mod to see if the Banhammer needs to carry out it's sacred task. And that would be OK (it's still a moderator taking a reasonable view hopefully). Mob-rule on the other hand is not to be encouraged. Not ever...
  19. This is actually true. The whole staff is at a 1pm showing near their office. Well I was originally hoping for an article today too, but seeing this I am now kinda happy if they don't. I love that they are doing this - just really says a lot about them as a company and their commitment. Enjoy your day in Paradise FFG bros and sisters! You deserve it. EXCITEMENT!!!
  20. And I love that I can tell my wife that I am taking our daughter to see a Disney Princess film on Sunday - and not be lying!
  21. But you know all the original Lucas lyrics had to be totally rewritten - **** that Lucas and his prequel show tunes with a chorus line of Gungans and Ewoks!
  22. Do we know if a ship that deploys gets to shoot in the same combat phase? Nashtah pup can't, but how about others?
  23. Great Balls of Jingle! If this arrives before Xmas, I will sell my soul to Santa. EXCITED!!!
