Fantasy Flight Announce New X-Wing Releases
December 14, 2018 by cassn
Fantasy Flight Games have announced new releases for the second edition of their X-Wing miniatures game, allowing players to bring their first edition ships across to the new game.
X-Wing Wave II features six new products, designed to provide long-time players of the X-Wing with new options and greater game flexibility in the second edition game.
The First Order Conversion Kit allows players to strike fear into the heart of the Resistance by bringing their collection of IE/fo Fighter, Special Forces TIE, TIE Silencer, and Upsilon-class Shuttle miniatures into the second edition. First Order squadrons can be built through the X-Wing squad builder either online or through the app.
Of course, where there is darkness, there is also light, and the Resistance Conversion Kit will allow rebels to bring their T-70 X-wing, Resistance Bomber, and YT-1300 miniatures from the first edition of X-Wing into the second edition and to build their Resistance squadron. Combine Finn, Han Solo, and Rey together to launch powerful attacks against the First Order!
Outside of allowing players to move their first edition fighters into the second edition, Fantasy Flight Games have also released expansions for the RZ-2 A-Wing, Mining Guild TIE, T70 X-Wing and the TIE/fo Fighter. With new pilots, new ships, and greater options, X Wing Wave II is bringing a whole new Star Wars experience to the tabletop!
X Wing Wave II is currently available through the Fantasy Flight website, and you can head over now for further details on this latest release.

I take it the yellow TIE is the new special force’s one ?
In fact it’s the Mining Guild variant that showed up in the Rebels tv show.
Faction SCUM 😉
More variants of existing space ships. It feels very much like X-Wing is starting to run out of ideas. Much like Disney.
X-Wing is not inventing anything really 😉 The A-Wing (Force Awakens) and the mining TIE (SW:Rebels) are new models to the series and the X-Wing and TIE/sf (both Force Awakens) are updated models from V1.
I’m not disputing where they’re from, but there’s nothing new there. It’s just existing models with different paint jobs. Maybe the mining guild TIE has a slightly different look. It’s pretty boring really though.
Very interesting. It’s nice that now X-Wing players can get more First Order TIE Fighters.
