~ Bring Out the Big Guns! ~ The fifth wave of X-Wing starship expansion packs features two heavily customizable, hard-hitting, large starships that offer you all-new ways to obliterate enemy fighters: the Rebels’ YT-2400 and the Imperials’ VT-49 Decimator! Along with their new starship miniatures, each of which is sculpted faithfully at the game’s standard 1/270 scale, the YT-2400 Freighter Expansion Pack and VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack introduce a wide array of ship cards, upgrade cards, new missions, and new debris cloud obstacle tokens. You’ll also find a large cast of characters drawn from the Star Wars universe, the first Imperial turret weapon, and upgrade cards designed by each of the game’s first two World Champions. ~ YT-2400 Freighter Expansion Pack ~ A fast and resilient light freighter, the YT-2400 features no fewer than thirteen weapon emplacement points, making it an attractive vessel for smugglers, mercenaries, and other individuals looking for a heavily armed “transport.” Although a stock YT-2400 light freighter has plenty of space for cargo, much of that space is often annexed to support modified weapon systems and oversized engines. The YT-2400 Freighter Expansion Pack brings this formidable light freighter to your table as a Rebel starship with two attack, two agility, five hull, and five shields. In addition to its detailed miniature starship, the expansion comes with four ship cards, thirteen upgrades, three debris cloud obstacle tokens, a maneuver dial, and all the tokens you need to fly your YT-2400 into battle. Of course, you also gain the opportunity to recruit one of the galaxy’s most renowned smugglers, Dash Rendar. He appears in the expansion as both a crew member upgrade and as a YT-2400 pilot. His heavily modified YT-2400, the Outrider, is represented by a new Title card that allows Rebel players to experiment with battlefield tactics designed around striking at foes from distance with a turret-mounted cannon. Finally, the YT-2400 Freighter Expansion Pack honors the 2012 and 2013 X-Wing World Champions, both of whom worked with the developers to create upgrade cards that appear in the expansion: the Dash Rendar crew upgrade and the elite pilot talent, Stay on Target! ~ VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack ~ To be granted command of a VT-49 Decimator is seen as a significant promotion for a middling officer of the Imperial Navy. A heavily armed transport, the VT-49 Decimator is one of the Empire’s most feared warships, often used to provide long-range reconnaissance or to deploy raiding parties behind enemy forces. The VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack brings this intimidating Imperial gunboat to X-Wing as the game’s largest ship yet designed for Standard Play. Even at the game’s signature 1/270 scale, the expansion pack’s detailed miniature towers over its base and smaller starfighters. In addition to its imposing, pre-painted miniature, the expansion introduces four ship cards, three debris cloud tokens, a new mission, a maneuver dial, and all the tokens you need to fly your Decimator into the thick of combat. There, the VT-49 Decimator is a truly terrifying warship. It has zero agility, but it can withstand the heaviest of enemy assaults with four shields and twelve hull. Most importantly, as the first Imperial starship with a turret weapon, the Decimator is designed to deliver lethal volley after lethal volley of attacks to opposing starships, all fired from a primary weapon with an attack value of three. The Decimator also introduces a range of aggressive, new tactics to the Imperial fleet. For example, Captain Oicunn damages enemy ships when he crashes into them, and when his Decimator is equipped with the Dauntless Title upgrade, such collisions may not even cost him the ability to perform an action. All told, the VT-49 Decimator sets a new standard for Imperial aggression, and it’s certain to encourage new tactics at X-Wing tables worldwide! ~ Blast Into Battle! ~ With their new turret weapons and tactical options, the YT-2400 Freighter Expansion Pack and VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack are destined to blast into the middle of the galaxy’s thickest X-Wing combats! |
