A lot of want right there... I'm sure some X-Wing players may get annoyed but I'm gonna love playing with capital ships. Bringing some turbo laser pain down on the Rebel scum...

Core set price is $100 though

EvilGrin · 9 Aug 2014 at 12:10

So it's going to be £60-70 retail, owwww my wallet!

Excited though!

Yeah this looks great. The base set has a victory class star destroyer the imperial and super class are going to be massive...and expensive

EvilGrin · 10 Aug 2014 at 00:54

Yep, this'll be a huge money spinner for them, just look at the size of some things that may come: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1849dtqz5w4y6ka/Photo 05-03-2011 18 03 24.jpg

Looks kinda cool, but I can't imagine me getting into it in the same way I'm into X Wing.

EdwardTeach · 10 Aug 2014 at 10:35

Looks good.

FFS, Fantasy Flight. You know how to empty my wallet.

Not cheap but looks like you get quite a bit. I do wonder how much the expansion ships are going to cost though. That may hurt the wallet.

I am so looking forward to this...

Though I would prefer if GW relaunched BFG with all plastic ships too!

Wayland are accepting pre-orders at 20% off RRP. £79.99 reduced to £63.99! :eek:

Fantasy Flight bought the rights to GW's specialist games. I'm not sure if that includes BFG but it's a possibility.

Did that actually happen? I remember a rumour and much speculation but I can't find any confirmation of a deal.

lordhughes · 13 Aug 2014 at 16:57

this comes to mind

I am tempted to have a look into the x-wing game, seen some guys playing it at a local club and heard a lot of good about it, but do I really need another game to sink cash into .... (the answer is probably yes)

Cavallino · 14 Aug 2014 at 10:42

Oh come on are you serious....
Could this be the death knell for Xwing....

Infact this is probably what Xwing should have been in the first place...

swillsy · 14 Aug 2014 at 18:10

Yeah I prefer the idea of fleet battles over individual dog fights - will definitely be purchasing although it's a long way off!! January 2015

I fancy this more than X-Wing. Not because it looks especially better, but because it looks like we can get in to it a lot cheaper than buying two factions of X-Wing.

.

And it will still be delivered within their usual delivery time frame

Cavallino · 18 Aug 2014 at 18:48

Whats their usual time frame? Are they typically bad?

It can be very quick or very slow. I've never bothered emailing them about slow delivery, but from what I read they seem to be slow to respond to enquiries. They are not nearly as bad as Total Wargamer were though.
