intrizic Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I know there are Star Destroyers in Armada, but I think this is as close as I will get in X-wing: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=5274 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 That is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 They even downsized the scale of it to be playable in X-Wing and a Star Destroyer dwarfs this. A Star Destroyer would be over 6' if it where close to scale so yes, I don't think you're going to get any bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, had NO idea of the scale, that puts things into perspective nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Just carry around a table painted like one. When they ask where your army is just plop it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I thought the game was 1:270 scale, wouldn't that put it at like 20ft? Oh yeah, the larger ships they've been scaling down even more. Even then, a 6ft ISD would be like 1:875, which i don't think is the scale the Corvette and Medium Transport are. Regardless, yes, there are the reasons for the smaller "Capital" ships being the limit of what we see in the game. Sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 But you got to admit the Imperial Raider is pretty rad. It even has me considering getting back ino X-Wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 For me, the hardship in purchasing it or the Big rebel ships is much like FW or Super Heavies/Apoc in pre-7th ed. How often are you likely going to use it? If it's mostly house/pick up games, I'd go for it. If you just like the model and plan on having it on display because you have 100 bucks laying around to spend on plastic to just sit there....although that sounds suspiciously like most of my plastic, just sitting there....lol I'm holding off on the big ships, myself, for those reasons. If I'm going to drop 100+ on something right now, I'd rather get a couple board games to engage more of my non-gamer friends. Which I think is most of them. Hmm. Yeah, none of the people I regularly hang out with play 40k. A couple of them play X-Wing with me. We're trying to get a (board) Gaming group together. Thankfully several have experience with Ticket to Ride and Munchkin, non-standard RISK, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashneeb Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 When I was at Gencon last year, I talked to the VP of Marketing from FFG. He's an old friend and co-worker. They had shown the corvette a while ago and I said if they could give me a Star Destroyer it would make me super happy. He told me that they had done the math and it wouldn't fit on the table at all. He said that if we had an old card table, something that was 2'x4' that it might work as the base to float it on. However, also at Gencon, they played some games of X-wing on boards that resembled the Death Star sections. I thought that was pretty awesome.

dashneeb Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Also, for those interested, you might look at this. It appears that pre-ordering the game gives you a massive discount: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Fantasy-Flight-Games/dp/1616619937/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=thewingamres-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=SAVOJUCW2DCNBLIW&creativeASIN=161661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hmm. 40% off, plus another 10% off for it being preorder? That seems....wonky. I mean, [big bad swear word] yeah! if it's accurate, but seems pretty big cost cut there. D2C perhaps allowing the price cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Or Ama buying 5-10 pallets of it, like they did with the Corvettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Maybe it's an error? Sounds too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 "Window" shopping Imperial Ships at 2 in the morning is never a good idea. My wallet cringes lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 "Window" shopping Imperial Ships at 2 in the morning is never a good idea. My wallet cringes lol I feel bad becuase I found a site where I can preorder the core and the full first wave for $206. I normally would rather support my LGSs but this is a Big savings. Miniature Market in case you were wondering. Just add everything to your cart. I believe Amazon discovered their mistake. Armada was not there last night when I was looking around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
