Just started playing over Christmas and I glad to say I got some of the first buys you recommended. I actually drove over an hour away to get the rebel aces pack because it was the only place it was in stock. Love your videos, they are super helpful for beginners like me. Keep it up!
This is pretty great! I just got into X-Wing and I’ve been watching outdated videos to see what I should be getting. This just validated a whole lot of my purchases. Thanks!
ONE WORD PERFECT!!! I have only been playing a year. I saw your first "what to buy first" videos and it helped me get started however since then I have purchased most of the ships(all 3 factions however still need new shuttle) because I made this my hobby. I will say in the year I have played many ships and changes have come out and for a new player it can be a bit complex to start. THANKS FOR KEEPING IT SIMPLE FOR FOLKS.
Loving these vids. I'm just breaking into the hobby and these lists are so NECESSARY. There's a LOT going on expansion-wise and your breakdowns rock. Thanks a lot
im so glad i found your channel... i got the Falcon and Ghost expansions plus both the core sets for my B-day in March 2018 and im quickly addicted to this game :) hunting down the expansions like a mad man LOL
Thank you for the update. My son and I just got X-Wing for Christmas.
Hey man! Great video!! Listen, I’m thinking of buying this game but I’m reeeeally into the original trilogy, so I don’t want anything to do with any movies other than chapters IV, V & VI. Also, I’m buying it only to play CASUALLY. That being said, what teams would you recommend for me to get so I can get an even battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire? I don’t want to get ships so that one team really steps up compared to the other, like, I really want epic teams that can make the battle entertaining and evenly balanced each time we play. Can you please help me with that? Thank you anyway my friend, and again, great video!
Yeah, clone war set, gives you jarjar "when defending change all blank and focus rolls to hits"
Ah, yes, Jar Jar Binks...the only Crew card in X-Wing that can also do damage on the player of the game (right passed all the shields!) rather than just the opponent's ships in the game.
Excellent review. I believe the most important advice is 'get what you like'
The arc was thf first rebel ship I got. Loved it in episode 3. And I enjoy having it on the table.
Ps thanks for keeping me company while I cleaned up the kitchen.
I'm introducing a couple of my friends from school to miniatures and this and your other videos were a HUGE help thank you so much for doing what you're doing and keep on X-wing ing
This "What To Buy" video is what got me into the game in the first place. Can't wait to see what the Imperial one looks like!
Thanks for the update. Made my initial purchases based on you previous videos. Love how you talk about competitive vs fun casual play. Getting the Ghost and Scurrg in my next wave of purchases.
This was really interesting to watch since the what to buy got me hooked on Crabbok when it first came out. It was really interesting to see how the game has changed the order. Thanks Crabbok!
Well found this really use full. My little sister just gave me a U-Wing Pack for my birthday. More because she knows i love the U-Wing alot, and that i want to get in to the game some time soon.
So Thanks for the great info.
Thanks for the update The old one was really helpful when I first started playing last year
Especially the "ultimately buy what you like" message that you say :)
Missed the recap though at the end where you quickly summarize the tiers
Well maybe on the 2019 version;)
PSLove to see Armada updates too eventually, especially around Squadrons and ranking them
The original core and rebel aces was my first purchase! Loved the A wings back then.
I still like it and I'm still trying to make it shine in my lists :D
Same here an amazing beginner first pack, easy to use yet complex
I got the ARC-170 on a whim last year before I even had a core set because I love that ship so much and the model was so good. Great to hear that it's as functional as it is pretty!
Matt D I did the same thing lol the arc is a great ship.
Hit thumbs up as soon as you said you go out of your way to include the B-Wing just because it's your favourite ship. It's true, the B-Wing is the coolest damn Star Wars ship to have ever existed.
Not sure how I feel about people mixing eras, like OT and sequels ships, but to each their own. (Actually I do know how I feel about it, and I hate it. But you do you, not everyone is a purist when it comes to gaming.)
So glad to see an updated version of this! The older video was really helpful.
Great list. Love that you update these. As a low budget casual player these types of videos help out a lot.
Nice update Crabbok. Cheers from Team Spectre Flight!
Loving your reviews and thoughts. It was exactly what i was looking for.
Good rundown. I was going to argue about how low you rated the T-65 expansion, then I realized my favorite X-wing pilots (other than Wedge) are from the Rebel Transport: Tarn Mison and Wes Janson. Wedge is awesome if you put vectored thrusters and outmaneuver on him, and Tarn is a survivor; if you put the R7 Astromech on, makes the fighter hard to get off the board. I've put together a T-65 list I think will surprise local players and might even be competitive, though I'm a long way from that.
New player and these videos are exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Those resistance bombers are a lot of fun!
Thanks so much for this. I bought the original core and all of wave one when they came out and had nobody to play with so I stopped buying. Now I am looking into playing again and needed some advice. This helps a lot.
Same here, bought both core sets, Imperial Aces and Heros of the Resistance and have no one to play with ... trying to get my young kids interested
same case for me, i have both core sets still managing to convince someone to play with
Great to see an update to the original set of videos! They were very helpful when I started, even though they were a bit out of date by then. Is there any chance that you could add the list in the description as well? Maybe a written up part at the end of the video? The old video had all the ships layed out on a table at once and it helped to see them all grouped up in the different piles together.
As a casual player, for me it's all about the fun. I'm a big B-wing fan too, and always fly one or two. I also love the HWK and always try to put Kyle or Jan in my list. It's not a great ship at all, but damn, it looks so good on the board (and Jedi Knight was the best SW game ever!).
Yay updated what to buy videos. The new people will enjoy. Good job crabbok.
Can't wait for the imp video. Finished buying almost all the scum ships, now moving onto rebel.
Thanks for the vid I just started playing x wing recently and have small imp fleet but only the
x wings from both core sets so this helped a lot getting me into a 2nd faction.
Love this style of Video for all the Star Wars games.
New player in Japan here. Thanks for the recommendations. I have to catch up quickly so I can jump into play. Hard to get models here. Amazon is almost my only choice. But there is a cool shop in Kashiwa, Chiba.
I think you gave it a good run down, your first expansion choice, is the one box that I'd have my sights on if I can afford to do multiple factions, but I'm on a budget and I prefer the Scum. Made me glad to see you include the Scum in this list (even if it's just one card) I will definitely be picking up a Scurge (or two) for my list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Have you done the Scum Video yet?
The outrider release was really what got me back into the game.
I just got my core set yesterday, 2.0 version (best friend and I bought it for each other for Christmas), and I got the Empire and Rebel conversion kits thinking to buy some of the cheaper 1.0 and convert them. They had some Empire as add on stuff on Amazon, so picked up a few, also got the OT Millenium Falcon... really wanting the old school feel. So after all this.. I'll play my second game, maybe this week :D
Thanks for this video. Great advice!
Hoping to bulk up my fleet a bit once I get my tax return. Really helpful guide on what to look at getting next.
This is very helpful. Thanks, i took your advice and picked up Heroes first.
So, I'm looking to get a Falcon and am wondering which is better: HotR or the OG Falcon based solely on the Falcon's pilots/abilities? I understand you put HotR up front because of the value of the package, but I was just wondering about which Falcon was better purely on pilots/survival ability.
Thanks for the update. Learning a lot about the game!
Nym was a playable character in the old Starfighter game, and he did have a crazy bomber there.
The N-1 is still my favourite starfighter though, hoping they add that to the game eventually.
Obviously you're correct in X-wing expansion not being for competitive play, but if you play casual like I do and are a huge fan of Rogue Squadron/X-wing books, ya gotta have Wedge!
Great video for a returning player, thanks!
Thanks for the advice Crabbok! keep up the good work
Just bought the starter set (red) and a B-Wing.
Looking forward to playing!
Hi
Thx for the videos. I'm waiting to get into X-Wing with the second edition so I'll be keen to see more
Great videos. Watch them while I do freelance animation early hours of the morning. Had a couple of base ships in my cupboard, just sitting there. They eventually hit the table last weekend and what a blast. Just picked up the Wookie gunship on a 30% off sale and hoping to get the Tie Punisher for that 0 pilot skill bomb drop move. Doubt I will get into 2.0 but hoping to see some price drops for 1.0. Just plan on avoiding buying ships with the permenant 360 turrets, as they make skilled piloting irrelevant.
I know nothing about X-Wing but I'm thinking of getting into it. If I'm only getting OT and EU stuff for the warm fuzzy feelings and am not super fussed about the most meta build but still want my stuff to be effective casually, would it be fine to start with the old starter set, and then get a b-wing, y-wing and the classic falcon? Those are the ones that leap out to me. Getting the resistance versions wouldn't feel the same personally and I'd probably not bother if they were mandatory. Thanks for uploading!
I'm in the same position you were at the time you wrote this. Thinking of getting into X-Wing, but only interested in the OT + Rogue One. No interest in anything outside that, so I'll probably go with a themed force of core fighters like you described.
A side bonus is that because I'm not bothered about the sequel trilogy, or most of the EU (I could be tempted by the Outrider and a couple of the bounty hunter ships because those have been lodged in my brain for 20 years), I don't have to worry about getting sucked into "collecting" stuff I don't care about. I just want a basic Rebel fleet, no frills.
I'm thinking about getting into X-Wing and this was a great video!
I'm just getting in to X-wing game. I find your vidoes very helpful.
Horton Salm, TLT and vectored thrusters make for a great y-wing if you have the money for the k-wing and arc
Still haven't made the plunge so very helpful, looking forward to the other two faction videos
Any advice on trying to get people into armada/x-wing? Ive bought 2 armada core sets and an isd expasion (also getting imperial and rebel fighter pack 1 for free) but none of my friends are into tabletop games and at the local shop where people are l've only met one armada player and sadly never got his contact info. Maybe point me to some forums? Either way love your content :) keep it up!
For Xmas I got the TFA core set, a Y wing and a TIE Striker, and then I’ve bought the Ghost expansion, TIE Punisher, and the original core set.
Was soooo hoping you would put out an update, but I had to get my info the "old fashion way" (not findind a little convenient yt vid but seaching elsewhere :dramatic_music:...)
Am glad to see that I made the right call ordering HOR as my first expansion. Bun since I'm from Balkans it's gonna take some time to arrive. I am hoping that it gets here before the local ligue starts. :)
Here's my quiestion if you get time to come around to it:
I would lile to get a few of the Imperial ships as well so I could play in my home town as well but would like to enhance my rebels at the same time if possible. Through my modest research I concluded that the best imp expansion for that would be the TIE aggresor and TIE scilencer. Whats your take on that? :)
I say put a u wing after the resistance bomber. U wing with Sabine, thermal detonators, and extra munitions, with the new resistance bomber box there is a system upgrade that makes this U wing a nasty build.
501stspartan I've run a u wing pretty close to that. Sabine, bombardier, extra munitions and clusters. If you pick blue sqd pathfinder, you've got a bomber with 3 attack, 2 agility and 8 hp that will often move first and can drop bombs pretty much anywhere. All for 32 PTS (or less depending on ordinance).
Subcat001 funny my U wing build is also 32 points
Thanks for the update - just reinforces that I need to buy a Ghost next!
Would love to buy a quad jumper next to get that scavenger crane so my Rey/Poe can be a bit more potent. Great video.
I see a lot of Xwing use locally. I am a new player but Poe gets a ton of use and Biggs is still pretty common post nerf. I just want small ships(other than bombers) to become competitive again. It looks like the meta is mostly bombs and Jumpmasters still and I would love to see fighters become a bigger focus. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next wave!
I haven't watched yet but thank you for (re)making this
i was debating between Heroes of the Resistance vs the millennium falcon this has made my choice
Good tips. Thanks for posting the update videos.
A good time to do an update as the meta has shifted quite a bit
I wish they would do the clone wars era
I know you are busy but I just got into this game and coudnt find my answer anywhere else and you seem to know a lot about it. I have the millenium flacon and the card that gives it a slam ability. It says that after I use SLAM i have to get rid of the card. So does that mean that I can only use SLAM once per game?
The z95 is like a poor man's x wing. I personally think it looks pretty cool.
Great video, looking forward to the Empire version!
Just started this game, really useful tips; thanks!!!
I just received my core set today. So with Veterans, you literally get one set with one A and one B wing and field that? Not a squadron? You don’t get like three of those sets?
QUESTION? If i post a X-Wing list up her will you give me some input. I'm looking to getting in to the competitive ring soon.
will you be doing an updated armada video as well?
I plan to after Wave 7 gets some play time.
Awesome content as always please keep it up!
Great guide, cool thanks!
I have all the ships up to about wave 8 with at least 2 each i have some here and there of other waves but had to slow sense lost job so it was nice to see some of the newer ships that i don't have but i cant wait tell u put up the ones for scum/mercs which is what i call them. That's my favorite faction. From the start iv'e always loved bombs so its nice to see them getting some loving and i just got the bomber merc love it. Hope u put up a list for new bomber load outs for mercs.
*Looks over to the freshly bought T70 and T65* Oh dear...
They will get an upgrade with the next wave. Just hold on to them...they won't let the most iconic ship in the rebellion suck forever, it's bad for business :)
It's hard for me whenever you downgrade something because it's is better when you get that one card from a different expansion. As I don't play competitively, likely won't ever play any tournaments, and live by "Fly Casually", I just use printoff from one of the builder sites to make my squad and then just use that sheet during the game without ever getting out the cards (also saves setup time), it means I have unlimited copies of every "card", even if I didn't buy a certain epic expansion that it comes in.
Hey Crabbok, possible to an update on this and Resistance with 2.0?
You need to do a 2.0 soon (maybe Q1 2020 after the card packs are released)
Try Keyan Farlander with the B-wingE2 and Kyle Kartan and Opportunist
I dont understand why you recommend so many Resistance things in this Rebels list if you cant mix the two?
Thanks it helped a lot cause me and my friend are trying to get in this together
Thanks for this Upload
Man the c roc looks great just bought it
Thanks. I think the U-wing would work best in some sort of an escort scenario (as the ship that needs an escort).
Im hoping we see a x-wing fix sooner or later... oh wait it’s already in the work
Thanks for this great video
Woah I just got x wing
Love your content, very helpful for new players looking to get into the hobby.
Thank you for this!
Great info thanks. Im a new player and I thing its and interesting guide
Woah, an update
Is there any cards that could make the resistance bomber competitive
Thanks for this Video!
Mr Crabbok your what to buy lists are really good and informative,however i have to disagree with you on the Jumpmaster,it's a really cool model,i love it,far better than the Arc 170 looks wise.Hey,that's my opinion hahaha.
Can't wait to get into this game, im looking for local groups
I don't disagree but nearly none of ships I wanted to buy were considered high tier which made me sad. I would buy them regardless but it means that flying what I want can put me in disadvantage even in friendly games.
I'm exited for the imperial and scum video
Very helpful!
