New X-Wing Rebel Ships

Hello. Today I'm reviewing some new X-wing ships.



Today it's all rebel ships so let's start with the HWK-290. The HWK-290 is a pretty cool rebel ship and with its title "Moldy Crow" you can really make the best use of focus in the game. The HWK can focus and target lock, with 1 attack, 2 agility, 4 hull, and 1 shield. The Moldy Crow title you can equip it with is really cool because it lets you keep focus tokens so you can accumulate them throughout the game. My Dad has taken advantage of this by giving it the co-pilot Recon Specialist which lets you focus twice, the Blaster Turret which gives it a 360 firing arc with 3 dice at range 1-2 if it spends a focus, and the elite pilot skill Calculation which lets you use focuses to make criticals instead of regular damage.



The next Rebel ship is the K-wing. The K-wing has a 360 degree firing arc, 2 attack, 1 agility, 5 hull, and 4 shields. It can focus, target lock, and perform the new SLAM action which is very useful for maneuvering and speed. It has the modification Advanced SLAM which lets you perform a second action after you SLAM, the twin laser turret which only does 1 damage each time it hits, but gets to hit twice. The most important upgrade on the K-Wing is called Extra munitions which will give it an extra shot on the advanced homing missiles, plasma torpedos, Connor net, and proton bombs. There's also a co-pilot on it called Bombardier that lets it use the 2 template instead of the 1 when dropping bombs.



The last ship is the new T-70 X-Wing from the new Force Awakens Core set. The ship is pretty beefy with 3 attack, 2 agility, 3 hull, and 3 shields, almost matching up to the Tie Defender's 3 across the board. It can focus, target lock, and boost which is new to an X-wing. It has the same upgrade slots as the original X-wing except it can also equip tech upgrades. The ship is definitely a huge improvement on the original X-wing being only 2 more points than the original and still less expensive than an E-Wing, which was considered the X-wings original improvement.

There were some new rebel ships for X-wing. Bye.
