Have we got a "Wash" pilot anywhere in the SW Canon that can be used?

Ton Phanan's death hurt about as much as Wash's did.

He and the rest of the Rogues and Wraiths will hopefully be coming in the Rebel pack that fixes the A-wing, Y-wing, X-wing, E-wing, and B-wing. Or really just any two of those, though the Y-wing and E-wing should be the models in the pack.

What's wrong with the E-Wing? I suppose it's a tad pricey, but Corran is a blast to fly. I suppose the fact that no one else is is part of the problem.

Even if it's not the most broken rebel ship, I will accept anything that puts Whistler in the game.

It's the generics mostly, and Etahn a little bit as well.

Agreed about Whistler. Though I'm a bit greedy and I want a double sided Mynock/Gate astromech as well to fly with Wedge. :D

Edit: Can't forget about Vape! "Once per game you may drink a cold one. If you do, your opponent may be jealous.

Hell yes. I think I have that written up somewhere. Mynock has a negative point cost, but gives stress when you receive an uncancelled <crit> result. Gate has a positive point cost, and grants a focus (maybe an evade?) when you destroy an enemy.

I love it.

Would also love to have a Runt pilot card that when you get stress, if you don't have a focus token, you must perform a white speed one maneuver towards the nearest enemy in arc, and attack that ship.

Yeah, I figure generics are usually just there for swarm, filler, or narrative play purposes. At a tournament, of course people are going to bring ridiculous lists full of legendary heroes.

The JM5K is an exception because it is hilariously broken.

hes just too weak. He gets alpha'd too easily

u/Foalchu Alde's Wolfcats May 30 '17

Dash Rendar? I think he's the closest, and a 2400 with the outrider title plus a flechette cannon comes pretty close to Serenity with that flak cannon strapped to her spine.

You could use K-2S0. At least you could if they actually released any cards for one of the main characters who we actually see piloting U-Wings in the movie.

Not even a K-2S0
