So Imperial Assault looks like basically a Star Wars take on something like Space Hulk? I can get behind this. :)

Are those expansions gonna be $15 each for 1 figure or whatever like X-wing? Ill prob skip it then.

I really hope that since the minis are unpainted they're a little closer to $9.99 or so.

If that is for real I am totally screwed. I don't even know if any of my friends are going to play with me and I'll still be buying a bunch.

Really it's not because

So to my understanding ImpAssault comes with 34 figures, but are all generic troops, all of the named characters have counters to represent them, the point of getting the figure expansions is to replace the named character counters with figures. I have everyone of the character / monster expansions for Descent 2e, and the content that comes with them is great. No reason for me not to get them all for ImpAssault either. I dont think we have had any info on the Skirmish game, but I bet it will be grid based like StarWars Minis was, just using these tiles and dice system.

Im loving the look of this prduct, but I wish it used the dice system from FFG SWRP.

edit: if you read the expansions write up, its more than just a figure and scenario, it also comes with command cards and equipment cards similar to wave expansions in X-Wing.

I'd be perfectly okay with these price points. I mean, I'm a completionist. I'm gonna get them all anyway (provided I enjoy the base game at least a little bit), but I'm glad they aren't charging X-Wing dollars for lower quality minis.

Looks like Pricing rumors on ImpAss are wrong, my distributor just sent an update for preorders.

ImpAss $99.59
Dice Pack $11.95
General Weiss $19.95
Single Figures-
Royal Guard
IG-88
Han Solo
Chewbacca $9.95
Rebel Toppers $14.95
Rebel Saboteurs $12.95


The prices arent bad I dont think, and with the usual online discounts you all should be able to get it around the rumored prices.

So is the game going to be functionally different from Descent: Second edition in any major ways aside from star wars and selling tons of expansions?

Those minis look pretty good to me, pretty much Descent quality. Not bad at all for the price.

I'm probably just spoiled coming from war gaming. But for board game components and the price I guess you are right.

Im kinda supprised, their scale is a little better that I thought they would be, seems pretty close to actuall 28mm where the Descent guys were all a but small.

Im going to sub almost all of them for my WotC star wars minis thoguh, no painting needed :D

Not yet. Just look at what they did with x-wing. My guess is depending on how successful the game is, they'll roll out tons of expansions

It looks the way it is supposed to. But that kind of speaks to the blah ships they chose to use.

I'm pretty sure it's older than that, I remember one in the old Star Wars Rebellion game. I agree it's a weird looking ship, but I like the look of it for Rebels. They'll take what they can get!

I also prefer the pre-Empire at War design for the Assault Frigate. I mean, for the love of the Force, at least make it look like it used to be a Dreadnaught!
