I used to think that, then they brought out the Gauntlet and it was grotesquely out of scale with everything else and now I'm just like "no new models until you've handed everything back to FFG, thanks"
XW and Armada needs to be in the hands of a dev/pub that can focus solely on it as their main line products. It deserves better than what AMG is capable off.
To be honest, if they start releasing sprou minis instead of the pre-assembled and painted minis, I'll probably abandon the game. I know a lot of people prefer sprou over pre-assembled, but one of the reasons I fell in love with this game - and Armada - was because of the pre-assembled and painted miniatures. I don't have the time or disposition to paint and assemble
If AMG removes pre-assembled and pre-painted, then I'm definitely 💯 out. XWing was a great game for casual players. A gateway game for those who are just starting into tabletop. And for those people who have no time for the hobby aspect (i.e., assemble and paint). XWing was a game that allowed people to jump right into the game and play.
As someone who genuinely can’t paint and has no desire to invest in painting. I would have to throw up my hands and be happy with the collection I have. I would be out as well.
Its not even like your typical pre-painted Miniature either, they're really well done. It'd be a shame to loose em to the sprue (unless they're painted too like the Revel model kits)
Although I'm not overly confident in AMG's capability to continue supporting X-Wing and Armada, they still have lots of content and ships to pull from that could easily print money for these two games. They could easily re-print older ships for 2.5 (Resistance Bomber, scum ships, empire phantom+ & lambda, rebel e wing, Sabine Tie) and they can easily put out starter packs for Republic, Scum, CIS. Not to mention still plenty of pilots out there that haven't made it into the game and still a lot of ships that haven't made it. Republic is in need of a large base ship and there's at least 3 options I can think of off the top of my head from clone wars alone (Eta, Nu, G-9). I mean, the content is there, its just can AMG deliver or not.
The day I have to put together and paint a ship is the day I'm done with xwing. We have been through enough with xwing and we are not all model builders. If I can't take it out of the box and take it straight to the table then I don't want to invest my time.
I sold my collection back in 2021 with lockdowns and the change to 2.5 and companies all at once was easy to give it up. Im back now though, ordered the new starters and BoY pack to start. Will see how deep I go this time. Mainly be kitchen table I think.
For me the ability to use straight out the box is a massive plus making it a need to build and paint would be hard as have enough issues trying to get stuff built for games.
Talking about a Scarif scenario, I feel like I remember seeing the Ghost in the battle for a bit. Now I feel like this would be an odd pack to do it, but I'd love for AMG to make Hera a legal pilot in her ship again, and if this is the only opportunity for that, I'll take it
I used to love playing Xwing, pmayed 2-3 games a week. Then it turned into picking up suitcases while flying in circles. Just...not my thing anymore. I must have played hundreds of games...
I have spent way too much time thinking about this. Here is what I would love to see 1. Announce the date for the Alpha Class 2. Announce the date for the Battle of Endor pack 3. Make a reprint of the MG-100 (Resistance needs more ships) 4. Make a 2 ship ARC-170 pack that is for Rebels and Galactic Republic 5. Make a Rebel/Scum super pack with one HWK, one Z95 and two Y Wings 6. Reprints: Saws Renegade, Star Viper, 7. Have at least one 2 point limited ship per faction (Empire) 8. Make an on-land scenario pack with air support for ground troops. Example battle of Scarif U-wing, x-wing, Striker, Reaper, Ties
Children of Mandalore is unfortunately no longer available 😢 Super bummed that our Asmodee Rep dropped the ball again and our store which has a VERY active X-Wing community didn’t get one
As a fan of the old x wing pc games I really want to see the tie avenger, and the missle boat which was designed by thrawn in legends! For the rebellion I want E-Wing and YT-2000! And they need to do a R41-Starchaser expansion for scum/rebels! And of course the reprints of the old ships from 1.0.
E wings and j6 jedi craft and Imperial remnant fighters with a scenario to stop the hyper jump of Morgan elspeth's ring would be a fairly easy thing to organize. Ghost and xwings are already done.
Crabbok keeps mentioning ships on a sprue, and it’s really freaking me out… that would be the absolute end for me as an x wing player and I would probably just drift and support the Star Trek game at that point.
I think some larger ships can work better as Game Mats + Terrain for gameplay reasons. However, physical models are much better. I really hope we eventually get the ground combat rules. I designed my own years ago which eventually influenced the Heroes of the Aturi Cluster module (I even consulted on it). There is something really fun about X-Wings going head to head against AT-ATs. I think the scenario packs are the best thing for the game. I think players like more narrative focused stuff. I remember I did my own Battle of Yavin pre-COVID at my Game Store. Ran it twice to great success. I had some friends I played with say they preferred my version to the official one ahaha.
I would LOVE to see a multi game scenario, even something like a planetary invasion where it's balanced in the Armada or X-Wing phases, but one side has the objective of getting transports to a planetary objective, then their Legion force has a points value based on how many transports made it.
They have been saying for years that the Alpha class Starwing is returning. I'm starting to think AMG are the scalpers of the 1.0 ships since it doesn't seem like that are ever coming back.
Great video! I’m a new player who picked up a 2nd edition core set over thanksgiving for my dad and I and promptly fell down the rabbit hole of conversion kits and pre-owned extended models to flesh out my growing collection. To piggyback on what other people are saying - the pre-assembled and pre-painted nature of this game is HUGE for me - to the point where I would call it good and just play with what I have intermittently at home if we lost that. I really just play this game casually with friends. That’s a huge draw and time savings for many of us juggling all aspects of life and is one of the only ways many of us can find time to play at all. I would also be thrilled if we could get a T-6 Jedi Shuttle from the Ashoka series, I really liked the look and feel of that ship. Maybe with the upcoming Mando/Ashoka movie…?
Now that the game has been abandoned, what options do we have? Is there a player community that keeps rules and 3D printed ships like it happend with others games? (Mordheim, for example)
I've been doing Epic with my friends and would like to get more huge ships and updated points, rules etc. I bought a 3 Printed Nebulon B Frigate that I am painting and will be working into a game. It's 22" long.
I think a scenario pack over all different games would not be necessary. If we play a campaign it's usually a series of matches of the same game. But I can see how it could appeal to people
What we will see? Very little. Just enough to be strung along. X-wing/Armada are not AMG priorities. Would like to see new scenarios(not scenario packs),but, once again, that would take effort on the part of AMG.
I'm keen to see some larger scenario play, escort and asymmetrical missions. Please include some Huge Ship missions! Imagine a sit down I play my huge ship and do a scenario against you, we score points. You break out your huge ship and play a scenario. Score up pick a winner.
Nope. I'm not building their models for them. If they can't be bothered to support their own product line as it has been supported in the past, then they just need to shut it down. Plenty of other games out there that don't require players to pay premium prices to do all the work themselves.
Reprint and renew... I agree with Huge Ships to make its come back but beyond capital frigate ships, if added, should be something like Deluxe battle mats with free scenario rules. Sad they not even try to maintain the overall experience of the game in any of its branches... Still cant figure out why is profitable for Asmo let this game be handled like so...? If at some point they could release content with a 1.5 yr. gap between official releases, why they cant now? Theres a big lot to add at all faction hangars, from Bad Batch to Ashoka... Hope for full clever integration of all released products into current game ruleset, full catalog reprint that crosses over squad packs, faction starters and single ships exp. (Nym could be appeared for Rebels since Hotshots and Aces 1 and others too); update content aka "new" ships (in other days they would be announcing the T-6 but here we're hoping for the Marauder, sad)... They should capitalize making new ships... A visionary approach could be profiting on superdetailed .stl files as official products and a robust content plataform for the rules and expanded content... Anyway... Hopes for great 2024 for xwing and all its players!
Just wondering am a old player still stuck in 1.0 and refuse to upgrade ha. many of my friends no longer play. So i am looking into trying to solo play. What do you recommend for AI or if there is a strategy that you recommend? Thank you in advance. Great video. 👍
The battle at the beginning of episode 8 would make a good scenario pack except they haven't redone the Resistance Bomber yet so I don't see that happening next year unless they unveil them to be released at the same time to encourage bomber sales (which wouldn't be a terrible idea).
X-wing is my favorite game since 1.0 in 2012 through the great improvements of 2.0 and some initial tweeks in 2.5. But the exclusivity of scenarios and banning of half my ships and pilots have done much harm. From 6 stores in my area and 35 to 70 players at store championships and regular casual play every week ... Only one store had a tournament his year and casual play is sporadic at best. AMG was promising World invitation to store champs, but rescinded it since there were deemed too few participants at the one store. Thankfully I have a friend to play casual games with and we can use any ships we want.
I got the YT2400 for my bday this fall, and I love it. I'm really excited about the Endor scenario. Do you think we'll see Tie Defenders in that scenario?
I think it males sense for xwong to go into card packs and reprints for the time being until we get more from the shows. Mandos N1 and the snub foghters would be good new ships to have for Scum
I would just like some new ships, we have had several TV series now, but AMG is more worried about shatterpoint and MCP to care about the health of the old games they were given.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to get into X-Wing for a while but now I know exactly what’s coming out for me to catch up on! Thanks!
"Almost too big. Almost. Because there's no such thing as too big as far as I'm concerned". "That's what she said!" Sorry - I just got done watching The Office. 😂
In France we had hints about new Starters for Republics and CIS in 2024
I really want to see new ships that haven't been in print previously.
That's the dream! Hopefully someday!
Problem is there’s not a lot left
@@danielhoffman4741 There are dozens left.. just not a wide selection from Empire or Rebels
Amg don't care, Amg would like you to check out shatterpoint.
I used to think that, then they brought out the Gauntlet and it was grotesquely out of scale with everything else and now I'm just like "no new models until you've handed everything back to FFG, thanks"
XW and Armada needs to be in the hands of a dev/pub that can focus solely on it as their main line products. It deserves better than what AMG is capable off.

thats also my point of view
Yes, I play warhammer 40k and tes pre-assembled is good.
If AMG removes pre-assembled and pre-painted, then I'm definitely 💯 out. XWing was a great game for casual players. A gateway game for those who are just starting into tabletop.

Same!
new points system and scenarios have made me leave the game already
Hopefully we get a re-released E-Wing since it showed up in Ahsoka. And fingers crossed for the Alpha class too
Aaaaand we got nothing except the announcement of the end of X-wing.😭
Also the Umbaran Fighter for CIS would be so tight to see. They need some life on that Faction.
I'd love to see the Bad Batch Marauder ship. Seeing as the Bad Batch are announced for both Shatterpoint and Legion, why not their ship for X-Wing?
Absolutely. The Marauder would be a terrific addition to the game.
Although I'm not overly confident in AMG's capability to continue supporting X-Wing and Armada, they still have lots of content and ships to pull from that could easily print money for these two games. They could easily re-print older ships for 2.5 (Resistance Bomber, scum ships, empire phantom+ & lambda, rebel e wing, Sabine Tie) and they can easily put out starter packs for Republic, Scum, CIS. Not to mention still plenty of pilots out there that haven't made it into the game and still a lot of ships that haven't made it. Republic is in need of a large base ship and there's at least 3 options I can think of off the top of my head from clone wars alone (Eta, Nu, G-9). I mean, the content is there, its just can AMG deliver or not.
The day I have to put together and paint a ship is the day I'm done with xwing. We have been through enough with xwing and we are not all model builders. If I can't take it out of the box and take it straight to the table then I don't want to invest my time.
I commented almost the same. XWing is a casual game. There are plenty of hobbyist games, like Warhammer and Legion. Leave XWing and Armada as is.
Thanks for the speculation video! It's a fun one. I appreciate you keeping the spotlight on X-Wing and Armada.
I sold my collection back in 2021 with lockdowns and the change to 2.5 and companies all at once was easy to give it up. Im back now though, ordered the new starters and BoY pack to start. Will see how deep I go this time. Mainly be kitchen table I think.
For X-Wing I would like to see: Snowspeeders. The Otana from X-Wing Alliance. The Nova Courier and Gunboats from SWG.
For me the ability to use straight out the box is a massive plus making it a need to build and paint would be hard as have enough issues trying to get stuff built for games.
I walked past the X-Wing tournament at PAX unplugged and man.. I wish this game being fun. AMG really shit the bed on this entire IP
I hope that AMG brings back the E -Wing back. It was made cannon in Asoka
It’s wishful thinking but I’d love to see some actual love for Xwing but more specifically Armada
That's way beyond wishful thinking! Armada is an officially finished game
I'd love to get some of those old ships re-printed. That would be really great to add to the collection since I'm new to the game.
They should give us the TIE Dagger!
Ah, coffee and Crabbok; what a way to start the day!
Boy, do I have news from June
Talking about a Scarif scenario, I feel like I remember seeing the Ghost in the battle for a bit. Now I feel like this would be an odd pack to do it, but I'd love for AMG to make Hera a legal pilot in her ship again, and if this is the only opportunity for that, I'll take it
ABSOLUTELY! Great comment and you are totally right!
I used to love playing Xwing, pmayed 2-3 games a week. Then it turned into picking up suitcases while flying in circles. Just...not my thing anymore. I must have played hundreds of games...
Id love to see ships from the ahsoka series! And some of the snub fighters from the mandolorian series!
I have spent way too much time thinking about this. Here is what I would love to see
1. Announce the date for the Alpha Class
2. Announce the date for the Battle of Endor pack
3. Make a reprint of the MG-100 (Resistance needs more ships)
4. Make a 2 ship ARC-170 pack that is for Rebels and Galactic Republic
5. Make a Rebel/Scum super pack with one HWK, one Z95 and two Y Wings
6. Reprints: Saws Renegade, Star Viper,
7. Have at least one 2 point limited ship per faction (Empire)
8. Make an on-land scenario pack with air support for ground troops. Example battle of Scarif U-wing, x-wing, Striker, Reaper, Ties
It would be interesting if the Resistance B-Wing and TIE Dagger made it as new ships
On land scenario would be awesome and provide an opportunity to reprint Saw's Renegades too.
I would love a reprint of the epic ships.
The Scariff battle scenario would be a great opportunity for some standard loadouts for the TIE Striker and TIE Reaper!
And U-Wing
@@UA-camGuyAllTheTime 100% U-wing deserves some love too
I would like to see more scenario packs. I like them as a play option. I would like to see new ships at least trickle out.
Realistically I can't see any new stuff for X-Wing, but we may get some scenario/tournament packs.
You forgot to mention cancellation.
Children of Mandalore is unfortunately no longer available 😢
Super bummed that our Asmodee Rep dropped the ball again and our store which has a VERY active X-Wing community didn’t get one

E wings and j6 jedi craft and Imperial remnant fighters with a scenario to stop the hyper jump of Morgan elspeth's ring would be a fairly easy thing to organize. Ghost and xwings are already done.
I really want to see starter squadron packs for separatists and the republic like we got for the empire and rebels last year.
Crabbok keeps mentioning ships on a sprue, and it’s really freaking me out… that would be the absolute end for me as an x wing player and I would probably just drift and support the Star Trek game at that point.

Looks like nothing is coming for X-Wing in 2024
I hope we get e-wing, Shin Hati fighter, Ahsoka T-6 jedi shuttle and Mandalorian naboo fighter
Sold all my huge ships when 2.0 came out. Saw the handwriting on the wall
They have been saying for years that the Alpha class Starwing is returning. I'm starting to think AMG are the scalpers of the 1.0 ships since it doesn't seem like that are ever coming back.
Battle over endor ,game neat ,cool, update cards, I,m Fan Learn basic of Star Wars X-WING game wow,Happy Halliday season 2023 and 2024 yr. Good day.

AMG is killing X-Wing
So excited for this. The possibilities with all the new content out there.
Now that the game has been abandoned, what options do we have? Is there a player community that keeps rules and 3D printed ships like it happend with others games? (Mordheim, for example)

I really love the look of the x-wing mini. Great video thank you

I only want one gunboat without having to pay a fortune.
Great video!
The battle at the beginning of episode 8 would make a good scenario pack except they haven't redone the Resistance Bomber yet so I don't see that happening next year unless they unveil them to be released at the same time to encourage bomber sales (which wouldn't be a terrible idea).
Any real hints or rummors from AMG about new things ?
X-wing is my favorite game since 1.0 in 2012 through the great improvements of 2.0 and some initial tweeks in 2.5. But the exclusivity of scenarios and banning of half my ships and pilots have done much harm. From 6 stores in my area and 35 to 70 players at store championships and regular casual play every week ... Only one store had a tournament his year and casual play is sporadic at best. AMG was promising World invitation to store champs, but rescinded it since there were deemed too few participants at the one store. Thankfully I have a friend to play casual games with and we can use any ships we want.
If X-Wing switches to sprue minis then I will no longer buy ships. I suck ass at assembling and painting minis and no longer do it.
I got the YT2400 for my bday this fall, and I love it. I'm really excited about the Endor scenario. Do you think we'll see Tie Defenders in that scenario?
I think it males sense for xwong to go into card packs and reprints for the time being until we get more from the shows. Mandos N1 and the snub foghters would be good new ships to have for Scum
I want to see more Republic love, a huge republic ship would be amazing
Tie dagger for first order
Time to make X-Wing great again!!!
Some people do print their consular classes. And they look great.
I would love a Auto tie fighter
Ugh. This video is so full of optimism that was so crushed by AMG
I want to see a Siege of Mandalore scenario pack! Give me standard loadout fangs and gauntlets!
Great video dont know much about xwing but sounds pretty cool
Excited about the big ships. Bummer there is no more Raider.
Yeah, I want a Raider so bad but can't get one.
@@EliWintercrossSame. I want the ship but I’m not paying 300 - 500 dollars for it.
Looking forward to new x-wing stuff.
I would like to see x-wing support a legion battle.
Let’s agree to disagree about episode 8 😅
I see a few more reprints in our future. A new ship seems so unlikely this year
What I want to see is a proper X wing game for the pc without any micro transactions
Cool 👍
I would just like some new ships, we have had several TV series now, but AMG is more worried about shatterpoint and MCP to care about the health of the old games they were given.
I lost track of this game in 2020 when the pandemic hit. What have I missed?
Hope . . .
I love the idea of new card loadouts but I don't want more bombers or have to buy a new Dash to get them
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to get into X-Wing for a while but now I know exactly what’s coming out for me to catch up on!
Thanks!
I hope they do more card packs that update the ships.
Many great ideas here. So sad that AMG seems deaf to anything closely resembling the community's expectations.
I want endor!
I think that X wing might release something because there are so many different ships they can add
tie phantom? :(
In my area x-wing died when AMG took over and started making changes. they totally killed the game.
T65s in the battle of Endor have 3 shields.
I would have rather had ships on a sprue over them ceasing production.
I have to admit one of the things that I'd love to see is some escort scenarios.
"Almost too big. Almost. Because there's no such thing as too big as far as I'm concerned".
"That's what she said!"
Sorry - I just got done watching The Office. 😂
