@FN-1701AgentGodzillaRangerPrime-El At just under 62.4 cm, it also comes in neatly at 9 times the length of the old Micro Machine Star Destroyers, too - which is very neat.
That thing would be an amazing centerpiece of any Star Wars ship collection. That's the model of that ship I've wanted since I first saw it in 1980 lol
@@elizabethlestrad5282 I saw this going for 1/2 price in a shop a year or so ago... but it sold out before I could get there with the right amount of dosh ) :
Awesome. Can't wait for mine to get here. I have always thought it should be on higher stands than the rest of the ships. A higher stand would also bring the ship closer to the player creating an optical illusion that it is even bigger.
The SSD is over the top impressive. I can’t wait to get one. I have no idea how the Rebels will be able to fight against a ship of that magnitude. The coolest model I’ve ever seen for a table top game.
Absolutely amazing. Only gripe is the blue instead of red engine glow, but that’s easily fixable. Just plain amazing. Can’t wait to see some battle reports with that monster.
To be totally honest, not a fan of the paintjob. If I ever get this I will need to repaint it to have more of the blue hue from the films, along with red thruster exhaust
This painting is actually accurate to lore. The blue hues it had in the movies were due to lighting effects. The engines needing to be red is the only thing that's really off.
So glad you got one early for us to view!! Makes the Long wait so worth it. Can't wait for both of mine to arrive! Definitely look foreword to playing a SSD fleet versus with you at CoolStuff games in the near upcoming future :)
I was the guy at San Diego Comic Con who got the last one they had (the floor display model). I did *not* believe them when they said they had "plenty"! ;-)
WOW! This is fantastic! I can't wait until the day that I may have one of my own. This is awesome! A little confused why the engines aren't red, but this is such a fine addition to Armada. A fine addition to my collection! *cough *cough *cough
I know nothing about the game itself, this video just popped up in my suggestions but... i gotta say, with the possible exception of the repeated parts in the city scape this is a display model that i'd be absolutely happy and proud to have. Georegious work.
@@scottwallbank4794 I was expecting that gray, but a darker superstructure on the upper side, as well as a darker hanger bay. From the coloration in the video it almost seems like it isn't painted, if not very lightly, but it could simply be the lighting.
friggen awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to get my hands on one of those! Finally seeing this thing gives me hope of one day seeing an official at-at in legion, anything's possible!
Awesome. can't wait for mine to get here. seemed a little wobbly on the pegs. Hopefully Feldherr or others come up with a great solution for storage on this, to gorgeous to have it break.
WHOA! Damn, it looks awesome! You definitely had a great day (obviously)! Thanks for the unboxing and showing it to us. I'm a bit disappointed with their choice of engine color, but that's nothing a little paint can't rectify.
Wow!! Awesome to finally see it! What about Tarkin, Krenick, Ravenger, and Weskis as part of a build for the SSD? Another fun thing I enjoy is making a build with the upgrades that came with the ship expansion even if it is not the best! Enjoy the Super Star Destroyer!!
The end of the tape measure is supposed to move like that to allow for accurate measurement when doing an "inside" measurement instead of an "outside" measurement. When measuring like you are, let the end expand to it's fullest to get the accurate measurement. The reason that it moves is that when you are measuring into a corner, it compresses by the width of the tab to allow for that width to be included in the accurate measurement.
Talked to my FLGS today about my pre-order from last year and he told me the SSDs are in Canada, so it should be available next week. Woohoo can’t wait. Definitely going to paint my engines red though. Gotta say the detail is crazy.
Congrats Crabbok! I was just as giddy as you this past Sunday when I picked up mine. I still don't know how a game store in Greenfield Wisconsin got a SSD before anyone else besides SD Comic-Con. I was the only one who preordered one so they only received mine. They didnt order any for stock because of the price and didnt think they'd sell. They called Friday and left a message saying your SSD has arrived. When I checked my messages and heard that I almost had a heart attack. I was out of town so had to impatiently wait two days to pick it up. But your right it is absolutely gorgeous. I read some comments saying they don't like the paint job. I think they'll change their mind once there holding one in their hands. Anyway I'm glad you got yours. I love seeing people happy. Great unboxing!
@@nicholaskallmyer9865 are you from the Milwaukee Metropolitan area? Or Google? Maybe I should have said Milwaukee County. LOL And thank you. I am enjoying it. Haven't got it to the table yet but I'm having fun building SSD fleets. I'm playing my nephew this weekend.
@@nicholaskallmyer9865Thanks for the info. I've seen them playing there on Saturdays when I was there picking up one thing or another. But yeah it would be nice to play with someone other than the 2 people I play with now. Good luck in Houston.
I always felt that the engines should be blue on the SSD as well, so I can easily live with it. Otherwise a beautiful model. I was planning to repaint it to darker colors, but this actually looks hands down awesome! I think I'll leave as it is! Superbly detailed, can't wait to get my hands on it!
Very cool, I can see and hear the excitement you have for this new ship! I have been itching to give Armada a try.... not one member of my family/friends are even slightly interested.... even my WH40k friends.... lame.
Thank for the all the vids of the SSD. Awesome reviews full a details. I needed this because I honestly didn't know if I would want a SSD, which I'm sure some would say I'm crazy cause it's a freaking SSD, but I would like to see it in a game just to see how one would counter a SSD, maybe it's obvious but I'm new to the game, so if you can do a vid like that, that would be great. Thank you and have great day man
That's such a monster of a ship! I'm trying to work out what a good formation would be.. I'd definitely put something trailing it (Gladiator? Cymoon? Victory?) to perform rear guard... I think I'll have a look at US Navy carrier battle group formations..
"The bridge feels a liiiitttle delicate." INTENSIFY FORWARD FIREPOWER!!!
Ahem I feel the need to do this, even if I'm two months late:
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
-A Wing Pilot
IT'S TOO LATE! AAAAAAAAHHH! *explosion*

SIR THE REBELS HAVE BROKEN THROUGH!!!
That dialog was about 2 or 3 mc 80 that were point blank in front of them not the A-wing.
That thing would be an amazing centerpiece of any Star Wars ship collection. That's the model of that ship I've wanted since I first saw it in 1980 lol
Just wait for the Venator and the Pride Of The Core. Until then, who wants to 3D print the Death Star II to scale??
Totally awesome!!!!!

"Director Krennic is the most bomb officer ever." Yes, and my favorite star wars character of all time.
he´s badass
Those blue engines hurt my brain. I'm painting mine red as soon as i get them.
In Canon they are blue, which means a higher rate of callous fuel expenditure.
@@imperialadvisoraremheshvau3788 yeah, but thematics is where I'm at.
In The Empire Strikes Back they are red - and that's the only version that's true for me.
The whole inner areas need a darker wash and the outer areas a kind of blueish wash in my opinion, if you compare it to The Empire Strikes Back.
@@Caleena1989 that dark purple wash by GW might look good
Absolutely amazing. Only gripe is the blue instead of red engine glow, but that’s easily fixable. Just plain amazing. Can’t wait to see some battle reports with that monster.
Why does a $200 ship need fixing out of the box?
The detail is just incredible! You have opponents forfeiting when they see that coming at them!
What an absolutely beautiful "miniature" can't wait to actually receive my armada core set and get playing
[Collector claps white gloves and whistles] "Magnificent! Magnificent!"
You haven't sounded this happy about anything in a long time! ;)
Well he's probably never had sex.
Stephen Hunt oof
Wow! Just wow! When I saw you in the first second of the video I was in awe. I wish I could buy something like that!
I am jealous. That ship looks marvelous.
Kevin Hunt yeah it really does
@@kevinhunt3311 Came SO close to getting one half price - but I'd need a whole shelf for it, if I had...
"Eight and a hair under 7/8ths inches" Ah you silly Imperialists 😁
To be totally honest, not a fan of the paintjob. If I ever get this I will need to repaint it to have more of the blue hue from the films, along with red thruster exhaust
Pale light blue/grey I believe
Or paint it like the Lusankya from Legends
Add two blazing blue rebel crests
This painting is actually accurate to lore. The blue hues it had in the movies were due to lighting effects. The engines needing to be red is the only thing that's really off.
Yeah, this ship needs red engine thrusts.
even better you got the display model thats like a piece of history
Thank you for the measurements of the cards. I'll have the SSD cards tray and a protective cover thing ready next week.
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for the video! Can't wait to get mine in next week.
It looks incredible, the detail is amazing. Can't wait to get one!
I am very much looking forward to seeing the SSD on the table! That is such an awesome model!
So glad you got one early for us to view!! Makes the Long wait so worth it. Can't wait for both of mine to arrive! Definitely look foreword to playing a SSD fleet versus with you at CoolStuff games in the near upcoming future :)
Dude, breathe... you're a little excited mate. Haha. It's bloody beautiful!
Oh damn! That's more gorgeous than I expected! Looking forwards to (never getting around to) painting it in movie colours :D
I was the guy at San Diego Comic Con who got the last one they had (the floor display model). I did *not* believe them when they said they had "plenty"! ;-)

Awesome you were able to pick one up before Gencon for review. Awesome model. I look forward to getting one of my own someday.
Thanks for the update! Glad too see it’s massive. Also, in for the cards since that Neb and Vic card look sweet
Oh my gosh I'm so excited it is finally here, it looks amazing
Congratulations on your early copy! Looking forward to getting mine!
The excitement on your face at the start of the video. This is a Super Star Destroyer video I can't wait to see it in a battle report
Geez, it doesn't even look like its painted apart from those BLUE engines
It's an imperial ship. What were you expecting aside from the standard grey?
@@scottwallbank4794 in the film the middle part was a much darker colour with blue lights everywhere
@@scottwallbank4794 I was expecting that gray, but a darker superstructure on the upper side, as well as a darker hanger bay. From the coloration in the video it almost seems like it isn't painted, if not very lightly, but it could simply be the lighting.
It looks amazing! It's so much bigger than I thought it would be!
Good thing that SSD isn't to scale otherwise, the Raider in the fleet shot would be the close to the actual size the ISD would be in comparison to it.
It's so awesome to finally see this! it's somehow still Larger than I was expecting.
Thanks Crabbok!! Amazing ship i cant wait to get mine
Pre ordered mine the other day cannot wait to get it!!
So excited for mine to come!
This ship looks amazing! Can't wait to see it in my hands!
Finally! Can't wait to have mine!
the detail on those is awesome, very cool SSD
I am jealous. That ship looks marvelous.
friggen awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to get my hands on one of those! Finally seeing this thing
gives me hope of one day seeing an official at-at in legion, anything's possible!
Preordered on an impulse. Glad I did!
Wow what an unboxing :d super jealous. I hope this revives Armada in my community no one plays it since... been so long i dont remember.
I just received my copy of the SSD from amazon and I am so happy!
Amazingly beautiful.A stunning and fantastic model.
Great googly moogly. I fell out of this game but this might just have thrust me back in. Even if I never play again, what a great model to display.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
Super exciting to see it and can't wait to get mine!
When you were showing the SSD up close, I imagined the music for Spaceball 1.
OMG! I am so happy for yoy dude! This ship is amazing! I wished i could but this but wauw! I am excited to see your battle reports with this!
Great video, dude! Love all the admiral turned officer cards.
Super cool, I Would have loved the citadel to be slightly more dark gray though 😀 still an awesome ship
I'm so excited! It is finally here!!!
I absolutely can't wait to buy one of these!!
Can't believe it's finally here
So pretty. I don't play Armada, but stuff like this makes it really tempting.
Omffg this freakin awesome, auto-liked this video even before it started, I can’t wait till this starts shipping!
Amazing! Can't wait to get one of my own someday!
Awesome. can't wait for mine to get here. seemed a little wobbly on the pegs. Hopefully Feldherr or others come up with a great solution for storage on this, to gorgeous to have it break.
I don't play Armada but that ship looks awesome on a table. Love it
WHOA! Damn, it looks awesome! You definitely had a great day (obviously)! Thanks for the unboxing and showing it to us. I'm a bit disappointed with their choice of engine color, but that's nothing a little paint can't rectify.
Just bought mine when the price dropped on Amazon last thursday!
Is looks so awesome! cant wait to take a look at one of those IRL
Can’t wait to get my SSD next week! Awesome stuff.
Oh, that’s Beautiful!
A really awesome ship, can't wait for them to get to the UK later in the summer
That thing is awesome, my only minor quibble is I wish it was a little darker in color but it's great.
I like that it matches the other star destroyers.
I am hoping later batches will have a darker wash too.
Geers Tyresoil Or at least the cityscape area should be a bit darker than the outside
Games workshop does great washes... Cue movie colors for one of mine..... Seconds going to be really bright rebel design muhaha
Bad ass dude, keep up the great work!
great shot at the end with the small ships dwarfed by the SSD
Wow!! Awesome to finally see it! What about Tarkin, Krenick, Ravenger, and Weskis as part of a build for the SSD? Another fun thing I enjoy is making a build with the upgrades that came with the ship expansion even if it is not the best! Enjoy the Super Star Destroyer!!
