I'm a little late here, but I have to say that picking up Most Wanted and then getting the rebel HWK, a rebel Y-Wing, rebel Headhunter, and Slave I, is a great way to expand your collection in both size and flexibility.
The headhunter is one of my favorite ships, for both rebels and scum. Its a nice way to cover your more powerful ships, while giving some nice additional powers (Blount+Adv Proton+Deadeye is a really cheap unit that can devastate aces

No your not late. I haven't bought anything yet. I like what you are saying. I really think that I would like the Scum faction over the Empire. The only thing I might do differently than you suggest is to maybe get the Slave 1 first. My thinking is that I can use it with my current set right away. If I get Most Wanted first it wouldn't be enough on it's own to make a decent 100pt army. So Slave 1, then Most Wanted, HWK, Y-Wing, Headhunter.

What is the reason for getting the rebel versions when there are also scum versions of some of these ships? Better pilots/upgrades I assume?

Thank you for the suggestions!

Most Wanted is like a mini starter set for the scum faction. Not only do you get the three ships you see in the packaging, you also get extra dials and pilots for the rebel ships the scum faction can fly.

You still have to buy the individual ships, which are rebel ships, or the slave 1, but you can use the same minis to fly the scum versions.

Ok I got it. I was a bit confused. I was thinking that there were actually scum versions of those ships, but looking closer, I think the only scum versions are the ones that come with the Most wanted pack. Thanks!

Yeah, Most Wanted comes with dials for Slave I, a Y-Wing, and the HWK, even though it doesn't have those ships. Although there are no extra dials for the Headhunters, you can use your rebel dial with a scum pilot--and you can use your scum dials with rebel pilots from your rebel headhunter. Same with the Scum Y-Wing. Lots of flexibility by owning that set and the paired ships.

Picking up Slave I first makes a lot of sense.

Thanks again @capsocrates

When I first came back to Heroscapers I was just trying to get back into Heroscape and trying to do so without spending much money. Now I have Heroscape + AotP + X-Wing. Now there are all of those present and future must-haves that come with owning these three games.

Re: X-Wing

X-Wing, I finally had to go and buy a couple of starter sets. I haven't got them in the mail yet, but can anyone tell me if the rods in the support bases for them are 1/16 clear plastic dowel rods? I just picked up a whole bunch of the clear and colored rods for starwars miniature figure customs with lightsabers and the clear rod, hopefully for a small fleet of cloned tie fighters and such.

Re: X-Wing

@Porkins, that is pretty neat. I was in a Hastings yesterday that is apparently going out of business. I picked up another set of Imperial Assault dice, and then I picked up X-Wings Slave 1. What sets are out that expand on rules that add to the game for the different tactics and/or faction builds. I'd also like to see any of you guys builds with the slave 1 in them. I'm just getting into this, but it seems pretty cool, and my brothers look like they'll be into it as soon as I get enough ships to make a decent game. Also, any mention of you guys favorite ships and why would be cool to consider as well. I'd most likely not go out and buy em all cause that would be rather spendy.

@capsocrates , I'm already considering the set you mentioned a couple of posts ago, that's what I'm looking for. Plenty of flexibility with what you have.

Re: X-Wing

@TREX

I am a noob myself but when it comes to different factions builds I would look at getting the Most Wanted pack. It introduces the third faction, Scum and Villainy. It also comes with extra cards and dials for the Y-Wing, HWK, and Slave 1 so that you can use them with both factions. And since you have multiple brothers I'm thinking three factions would be good. I wish that I would have listened to @capsocrates when he suggested that I get it.

EDIT: Well I just noticed that you told capsocrates that you were already looking at this set. Sorry
