xwing repaints

The new ships are HERE – come see the new X-Wing Episode VII Starter set that was available at Target last night!

Following up on Episode VII X-Wing Starter Set pictures from last week, the pilot cards and ships (the new “blue” X-Wing Fighter and two new “white paneled” Tie Fighters) presumably from the new set have now been spotted as well.

Via El Taller De Yilla, and Captain Citadel

Looks like the X-wing is getting a boost, literally. Checkout the shields on the TIE and that stacked action bar as well.

TIE/FO
Primary Weapon: 2
Agility: 3
Hull: 3
Shield: 1

Actions:
Focus
Target Lock
Barrel Roll
Evade

A single upgrade slot – looks like a new category – maybe a droid.

Pilots:
Epsilon Squadron: PS1
Zeta Squadron: PS3
Omega Squadron: PS4
“Zeta Ace”: PS5 – When performing a barrel roll, use the 2 straight template instead of the 1 straight.
“Epsilon Leader”: PS6 – At the start of the combat phase, remove 1 stress token from each friendly at Range 1.
“Omega Ace”: PS7 – When attacking, you may spend a focus token and a target lock on the defender to change all of your results to critical hits results.

T-70 X-Wing
Primary Weapon: 3
Agility: 2
Hull: 3
Shield: 3

Actions:
Focus
Target Lock
Boost

Torpedo, R2, and a single new category upgrade slot – (same new category as the TIE/FO)

Pilots:
Blue Squadron Novice: PS2
Red Squadron Veteran: PS4
“Blue Ace”: PS5 – When performing a boost action, you may use the 1 turn template (rather than the 1 bank template)
Poe Dameron: PS8 – When attacking or defending, if you have a focus token, you may change one of your focus results to a hit or evade result.

Close ups of the box pictures from last week also seem to show a card for the BB-8 soccer droid and the card back for what looks to be a new class of droids as well.

You can checkout the post (with pics) for yourself below.
