Hello Everyone and welcome back to Friday Night X-Wing! Today, we are announcing the “grand-opening” of our Downloads Page! With the un-veiling of our new downloads page, you will instantly have access to Wave 1 of Alternate Art Cards that I have put together for 2.0. On the page, you will have instructions on how to print them!

I absolutely love having alt art cards and I had a bunch made before the announcement of 2.0! Now I have been hard at work, converting my previous ones to 2.0 as well as creating all new cards featuring art and images that I really like from google or that I have had on my computer from the past!

As you can see for “Mauler” Mithel, I used the official FFG artwork and added all of the necessary information from the existing card as well as my own little text box. Originally, that additional text box served as a way to write-in ship abilities but since there are a few ships that do not have special abilities, I took the opportunity to use them to either include quotes about or from the pilot on the card, include little bits of info on their vehicle, or a little bit of information about the pilot that I found really cool or interesting. If you have any requests for Alternate Art Cards, contact us via our Contact Page or e-mail us at fridaynightxwingblog@gmail.com! Make sure to include the name and faction of the pilot you want, their ship, the artwork, and whatever sort of text you want on the right (if the ship does not come with a special ability).

Now, as you will probably see on our downloads page… we have 2 very special projects coming soon! To begin, we would like to announce that we will be making custom expansions for other ships and vehicles for X-Wing! They will range from Legends classics to the current EU ones! We will release them in Waves with around 1 ship per faction to keep us occupied as FFG takes care of 2.0. We will also be taking requests from our readers for custom ships that they want to see in the game! Now, the project I am most proud of that I have been working on for a few months now, it is X-Wing Ground Assault!

Now without revealing too much information, Ground Assault will be a custom expansion for X-Wing that will take your Starfighters to the skies as they attack enemy units such as the technological terror known as the AT-AT as well as destroy an enemy fortress for some fun atmospheric combat. Overall, it will give you a whole new way to play the game, from new units, obstacles, rules, missions and pilots!

We want this to stand apart from the various other Ground Assault X-Wing rules out there and try to deliver an experience similar to what we read about in our favorite novels, comic books, and video games! In the coming weeks, you can expect a whole new article dedicated to our Ground Assault expansion; explaining the various ideas, rules, and any other information that you may need.

Anyway, we hope you enjoyed this little update, leave a comment down below with your thoughts on any of this and we will see you next time!
