With the release of the transports, the new X-wings and upgrades will be legal for the tournament on Saturday.

So, I expect to see some Rogue Squadron builds and maybe a Red Squadron with Porkins!

Here's a sample Space Marine list...

I'm looking for some BFG Orks or Space Marines.

I'm happy to trade if I have something you're after otherwise, we can talk cash.

That game is a blast.

Actually there are 2 shuttles listed with the above squads. I figure Vader's shuttle (Colonel Jendon) could go with Black Squadron and the Emperor's shuttle (Captain Kagi) could go with the Royal Guard.

And yes, I would expect to see lots of Saber Squadron...

Coming May 3rd....

All Wings Report In!

An X-Wing Tournament at Dice Age Games

We're going to try something a little different for the May 3rd tournament. It will be a standard 100 point tournament, but there will be some simple requirements for squad building. Each squad must include at least 1 unique pilot and the rest of the squad must be made up of other pilots from the same squadron. As an example you might include Biggs, Garven and 2 Red Squadron Pilots as your squad build.

I did some digging around on Wookiepedia and came up with the following squads as options:

Red Squadron (Yavin) - Garven, Wedge, Biggs, Luke w/ R2-D2, Red Squadron Pilot
Gold Squadron (Yavin) - Dutch, Gold Squadron Pilot
Gold Squadron (Endor) - Lando w/ Nien Numb, Gold Squadron Pilot
Gray Squadron - Horton Salm, Gray Squadron Pilot
Green Squadron - Arvel, Tycho, Green Squadron Pilot
Blue Squadron - Ten Numb, Ibtisam, Blue Squadron Pilot

Black Squadron (Yavin) - Vader, Mauler Mithel, Backstabber, Dark Curse, Black Squadron Pilot
Black Squadron (post-Yavin) - Colonel Jendon w/ Vader and ST-321, Black Squadron Pilot
Obsidian Squadron - Howlrunner, Night Beast, Winged Gundark, Obsidian Squadron Pilot
Saber Squadron - Fel, Turr, Fel's Wrath, Lorrir, Tetran Cowall, Saber Squadron Pilot
Royal Guard - Carnor Jax, Kir Kanos, Captain Kagi, Royal Guard Pilot
Scimitar Squadron - Ryhmer, Jonus, Scimitar Squadron Pilot

I felt like after all of the competitive list building for the Store Championships, a tournament based on themed lists could be a lot of fun. What do you think?

The new Rebels series features a bad guy riding around in a TIE Advanced and a Gozanti Cruiser, which is about the size of a Corellian Corvette. I bet we see that release this fall, with a title card to fix the TIE Advanced. Either with a point reduction or a systems upgrade.

The Dice Age tourney starts at 1:00 I believe...sorry Burk. I just grabbed the dates off of the store websites, I'm sure the times are there also.

For those looking for an X-wing Tournament in the near future.

And to be on topic, the new ships look like a lot of fun.  I was never a fan of the TIE Phantom and the Defender was a bit Mary-Sue in the video games, but I am glad to see more options.  The cheaper missile and torpedo options should be fun as well.

Most of the local stores are hosting X-Wing Store Championship tournaments in March.

Dice Age  -  Saturday March 1st

Rainy Day - Sunday March 16th

Borderlands - Saturday March 29th

Guardian Games - Sunday March 30th

I had a chance to look at the prize kit tonight at Dice Age and it was pretty nice stuff.  Everyone gets an alternate art card for participating and then there are prizes for the top 4 finishers.

I know that I will play at the Dice Age tournament and may hit up some of the others.  I am pretty sure that they are all standard 100 point tournaments.
