First game yesterday with that beast, took out a B-Wing with 2 rounds of cluster missles and a cluster mine field in 2 turns and a Z-95 with Cluster Missles, still having 2 bombs and 2 homing missles with extra munitions. This ship has one of the most sickest combos with cluster missles and fire control system (infinite target locks on a single ship!!) I love this ship had Vader with him to give him the extra action with Squad commander. Tore the rebels a new one. This is the Swiss knife of the Imperium!
Awesome video! As a non-competitive player, theme is more important to me than anything else in the game! So I love all that cool stuff! I can totally see a couple of Punishers going up against a CR90. Stack 'em up with stuff and take out the huge Corvette!
I would love to see a match up between the punisher and the k wing. I feel like you could use extra munitions with cluster mines to set up a huge wall off an asteroid and repeat on a 3 green bank to trap ships into hitting something every time. While having two low point fast ties banking from the other end of the board. But I'm not to sure on game play just yet because I just started playing today.
You didn't even mention the Defender, which will benefit greatly from the MK 2 engine upgrade, considering how it's dial looks ;) All of a sudden you can put ptl on it if you want for some fun shenanigans.
+ThePrinceOfPleasure Absolutely right, the art work on the card is a dead give away which ship it is meant for. The TIE Defender now it gets 6 green banks with 4 green straights and a white 4 K for -1- point. It exceeds the A-wing's 8 green, although the 2 green turn still allows the A-wing to turn inside of a Defender (without taking stress).
I once took out Vader 1 on 1 with a Cartel spacer with an ion cannon. I kept blocking him from maneuvering and dodging his shots. The ions worked real well in that scenario. IONS!!
like JeanFrancois wrote earlier Lt. Blount with Adv. Homies face up damage even if he misses. Run Roark's HWK turn Blount to PS12 so he shoots 1st. If he dies later in the round he has done his job on a high valued target.
tomax bren with tie shuttle upgrade (gives 2 crew cards and ditches secondary weps)... take vader and tactician crew upgrade cards with twin ion engine mod and the take adrenaline junkie as ept upgrade.
Deathrain is powerful with Enhanced scopes... People say the K Wing is better, although it is.. Deathrain is a better bomber. If you have enhanced scopes, you can potentially place bombs infront of the K Wing before it comes towards you. Plus placing the bomb infront vs a K Wing slamming and placing it behind, both of their max speeds are 3, the bomb lands at the same distance actually.
I don't have one but here's a link:images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/59/e6/59e69e56-cdf4-4590-9803-78ae53504815/cluster-mines-reference2.png It's unfortunate because I think it makes Cluster Mines almost complete garbage.
+Mike Kaufman they're not that bad, just plaster the board with them and they'll do damage that your opponent gets no defence against, which is the important part. hell in a 100 point list you could take 3 Tie Punishers with 2 cluster mines and extra munitions each and drop a total of 12 cluster mine token sets, that's bound to do some damage somewhere :P
I'm just a huge fan of Prox. Mines for single ship damage and Connor Net for it's amazing control abilities. I Love Deathrain and I run him with Extra Munitions, Connor, and Prox. Mines.
Fuck that ship! I played a local store tournament and i got to the final and i faced that ship. The first thing it did was to boost in front of my ship and dropped conor net right in front of my most expensive ship.
thanks guys - your x-wing unboxings are the best!
Love to see the unboxings are back. They always give me great ideas.

+Desdicharo Beautiful.
Yessss this came out while I was watching the other two wave 7 unboxings. Dat timing! Thanks guys :D
Yeah unboxings are back! I love the fact you don't actually open the boxes lol It is so boring when they do that

Geert van der Plas damn, I want to see that in a movie now.
I gotta say guys, as an inexperienced player this series really helps with recapping sets i missed. Keep it up!!!
Thank you for watching! Appreciate the comment.
Lt Blount with Adv Homing Missile is a garanteed crit on anything, which is nice
No mention of TIE Engine on TIE Defender?

+Joe Marquez The beauty of the game is that most things can be made to work! Follow your heart!
@13:14 you may have a ghost in your shop. That door in the back moved by itself.
That explains everything...
love those bombers for epic play

+jobyjobyjoby Beautiful!
+jobyjobyjoby Its also funny going with pilot skil 1 swarm before Vader gets to shoot, i like doing that with my scum& villains.
Great job guys. I see your wookie got a hair cut. Very nice:)
Deathrain just got a whole lot better with the bomb generator. Free barrel roll every turn.. yes please...
Are you guys going to be doing an unboxing video on the Imperial Raider? I would like your opinions on using the Emperor himself.
+Bradimus1981 We weren't able to hold onto any from GenCon, so we will have to wait and see once it officially arrives!
You guys have not gotten in any yet? I am surprised by that. How come?
+Bradimus1981 You're so right. Was thinking of the ones not yet released for Armada. Confusing, eh?
+Team Covenant So when do we see an unboxing video of the X-Wing Imperial Raider? I would love to hear your opinions on how to use THE EMPEROR. lol
+Bradimus1981 When? lol

Plasma Torpedoes are meant to end the life of B-Wings.
A chance to remove ALL the B's shields in one shot. Eat through a pancakes shields faster.

Give Adv. Homing missiles to Major Rhymer and he can fire them at ranges 1-3.
Kilrathisoldier This sounds like something we should all be aware of :)
+Kilrathisoldier Put it on Maarek and he can choose the crit. If he plasters that on Corran the other guys should start to sweat.
"you didn't watch this unboxing to see what's cool"....
I watched this unboxing to look at bitchin plastic space ships so yeah, I kinda did.
Adv homing missiles + maarek stele = pretty much all direct hit
When I read Cluster bombs I read ALL damage results, a crit roll is still a damage result.
Paul Dodd The card specifically shows the [damage] symbol and not the critical symbol.
Mike Kaufman could you show those cards aswell in your unboxing, i've going from an online deck builder
I don't have one but here's a link:images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/59/e6/59e69e56-cdf4-4590-9803-78ae53504815/cluster-mines-reference2.png

Deathrain can also screw himself...
anybody else notice the door opening about the 13 minute mark?.... the ghost of Vader!... LOL
Unboxing videos!!!! Huzzah!!!
The ship looks awful but it seems to be effective, and the new stuff is worth the price.
