Star Wars: X-Wing - Imperial Raider Expansion Pack Reviews

4.7 Rating 28 Reviews

Enforce the Might of the Empire!The Raider-class corvette was designed to support Star Destroyers, employing close-range anti-fighter weapons such as powerful ion cannon batteries and retractable twin heavy laser cannons. The modularity of its armaments and its ability to operate independently for long periods of time resulted in many of these ships being utilized as Outer Rim patrol craft or being posted in a more prestigious role as heavy support for covert missions.This pack includes everything you need to add one Raider-class corvette and one TIE Advanced to your game. The Raider adds a fierce anti-fighter platform to the Imperial fleet, featuring iconic Imperial villains like Grand Moff Tarkin and the Emperor. This pack also contains a branching campaign of missions, following a Raider that is set with testing out the new TIE Advanced. In addition to these cinematic missions, Imperial players can field the Raider in Epic Play format, allowing for massive fleets to face off in a large-scale space battles!Contents:1 Rulebook1 Mission Booklet1 Raider-class Corvette Ship1 TIE Advanced Ship2 Large Plastic Bases2 Plastic Extension Pegs1 Plastic Base2 Plastic Pegs1 Raider Ship Token4 TIE Advanced Ship Tokens1 Raider Maneuver Dial1 Raider Maneuver Template1 Huge Ranger Ruler- Range 1-3 Ruler Section- Range 3-5 Ruler Section- 2 Pairs Plastic Connectors16 Energy Tokens2 Target Lock Tokens (MM, NN)12 Shield Tokens4 Ion Tokens1 Focus Token1 Evade Token1 Reinforce Token1 Stress Token1 Campaign Progress Sheet13 Mission Tokens1 Reference Card10 Fore Damage Cards10 Aft Damage Cards8 Ship Cards- 1 Raider-class Corvette (Fore Section)- 1 Raider-class Corvette (Aft Section)- 1 Juno Eclipse- 1 Zertik Strom- 1 Commander Alozen- 1 Lieutenant Colzet- 1 Storm Squadron Pilot- 1 Tempest Squadron Pilot34 Upgrade Cards- 4 Advanced Targeting Computer- 4 TIE/x1- 1 Proton Rockets- 1 Cluster Missiles- 1 Captain Needa- 1 Grand Moff Tarkin- 1 Emperor Palpatine- 1 Admiral Ozzel- 2 Shield Technician- 1 Gunnery Team- 1 EnginneringTeam- 1 Sensor Team- 2 Single Turbolasers- 4 Ion Cannon Battery- 2 Quad Laser Cannons- 1 Tibanna Gas Supplies- 1 Engine Booster- 1 Backup Shield Generator- 1 Comms Booster- 1 Assailer- 1 Instigator- 1 ImpetuousThis is not a stand-alone game.

“The ship is huge, and makes epic games truly epic when facing a Tantive. If you play Imperials, you want this box for the upgrades like the emperor and the tie advanced 'fixes'. Plus the extra tie advanced model with alternate paint is a nice inclusion. And the MM price makes it a lot easier on your hobby budget.”

“Absolutely beautiful model! The details, and size, are incredible! While it will give the Imperials their first Epic sized ship, it also includes a significant number of cards that work in standard as well, most notably the Title for the Advanced and the Emperor. The Title, and the included advanced-only system, along with the new pilots breathe some life into the previously unremarkable Advanced, which should now have it appear somewhat more frequently in lists. Palpatine will bring out some interesting lists that take advantage of his ability, which can be used for any ship in your fleet, not to mention, who wouldn't like flying around with the emperor ? All in all, its an excellent expansion that will bring variety to both Epic and Standard formats.”

“Of course the Raider is awesome for epic play, it looks amazing and does a good job of blasting the enemy, but for me, the real value is in the upgrades inside. With the x/1 title, the Tie Advanced is now a ship to be feared, and the Emperor is pretty solid on the few ships that can use him. Prices do not get better than Miniature Markets, and it's easy to throw a few more items in the cart to get the free shipping.”

“The Imperial Raider is a great value for the price of it! Not only do you get the "fix" for the TIE Advance, but you get an amazing ship with great upgrades and crew members that you can use in regular games of X-Wing! The model is absolutely breathtaking when you look at it, with an immaculate paint job and great attention to detail.”

“The raider is an awesome model. Well-painted and a ton of detail, unfortunately it may not get much playing use. The Tie Advanced is an alternate paint scheme, lining up more with ESB and ROTJ ties than the original. The pilots and cards are a MUCH NEEDED addition to the game because quite frankly, no one used the Tie Advanced because it was over-costed and underwhelming in gameplay. Get it, you know you have to have one of every ship for this game. :)”
