Fantasy Flight Games: X-Wing Z-95 Headhunter Pack Preview


Fantasy Flight Games: Manufactured by Incom Corporation, the Z-95 Headhunter was the primary inspiration for the later design of the T-65 X-wing. Even though the X-wing eventually outclassed it in nearly every respect, the Z-95 was cheap, durable, and reliable enough that it continued to see use throughout the Galactic Civil War, most commonly in close air support roles.

Entering X-Wing as the Rebel starship with the lowest squad point value, the Z-95 Headhunter is perfectly suited to play the role within the game that it played within the Star Wars galaxy. It’s a durable and reliable starfighter that comes with the ability to carry and fire missiles, making it capable of playing a strong support role.

As one of the game’s most efficient and effective missile platforms, the Z-95 Headhunter provides Rebel X-Wingplayers a whole host of new squad building options. Will you disrupt opposing swarms with Lieutenant Blount and his Assault Missiles? Will you coordinate your attacks with Airen Cracken and the free actions he can pass to his squadmates? Or will you find some other use for this versatile starfighter that continued to serve a valuable role in the Rebel Alliance, even after the introduction of the X-wing? Available for pre-order over at Wayland Games.
