About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to feel the might of the Empire with the TIE Advanced x1 Prototype! This expansion for X-Wing Miniatures Game introduces a ship that's a serious upgrade from the classic TIE fighter, boasting shields and more potent weaponry, like the dreaded cluster missiles. This beauty isn't for just anyone; it's produced in limited numbers and flown only by the aces of the Imperial Air Force. Who can forget the TIE Advanced piloted by Darth Vader himself during the Battle of Yavin? Now you can take control of this icon or choose from three other equally ruthless pilots.

Vader, with his cunning and ruthlessness, is such a master of the skies that he seems to perform multiple actions while others can barely complete one. And get ready to supercharge his ship: with cluster or concussion missiles, you'll demolish even the toughest enemies. This expansion not only adds an iconic ship to your squadron but also offers the chance to experience the raw power and tactical skill that only a Sith Lord can provide. It's the missing piece for anyone who wants to feel the weight of the galaxy in their hands and dominate the skies with style and power.
