Star Wars: X-Wing - TIE Fighter Expansion Pack (Last Chance)

Product Review (submitted on October 15, 2015):

TIE swarms and mini-swarms are still a time honored tactic in the X-Wing Miniatures Game. However, TIE fighters have one action missing on their action bar: the target lock. But there's a pilot in this pack who aids that.

Enter Howlrunner, the most expensive regular TIE in X-Wing. Her ability allows for each friendly ship at range 1 to reroll one attack die when using their primary weapon. Now the swarm has the ability to make the most of it's two dice per attack roll. Paired with Swarm Tactics, an upgrade card that allows for another ship to have the same pilot skill as the equipped pilot at the start of combat, and Howlrunner is a fantastic pilot.

The other two pilots are not bad, but Howlrunner is the queen of this set. If you run basic TIEs, at least one of these expansions is a must-have.
