Ares Release Second Wave Of Battlestar Galactica Ships
April 30, 2019 by brennon
Ares Games has now announced the second wave of Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles releases. We kick things off with Boomer's Raptor, introducing another character from the reborn series.
Whilst the Raptor is normally seen as more of a scouting vessel, Boomer brings her own piloting skills into the mix here as well as an upgraded version of the ship which can take on Cylon ships. It is much slower than a Viper but it has the capability to make short FTL jumps in order to avoid trouble and maybe get the drop on the Cylons.
Heavy Assault
Going with the theme of bigger and tougher, we also have the Cylon Heavy Raider.
Being up-armoured and designed as a veteran craft this Raider is good for delivering Cylons into the heat of the action during boarding actions but also holding its own. Much like with Boomer's Raptor it has options for heftier guns to keep it in the fight.
You could even use both of these ships for scenario-based play where each craft has been designed as the target the opponent has to take out.

They look great would the Raptor fit in to 28mm ?.
Those look really nice.
time for original series….bring it on
BSG was one of my favorite shows growing up and I loved the reimagined series. I have been avoiding this one though as I’d much prefer an ‘star wars armada’ scale BSG game instead, I’m not sure how long I’ll manage to hold out for though!
