Man the defensive batteries! Move the patient to the Bacta Tank! Coordinate the invasion of a galaxy with telepathic tentacles! Or just kind of sit in your fancy spinny Emperor chair cackling to yourself! These are a just a few of the characters with Emplacement we currently have in the game. It's an interesting enough challenge in itself to build a piece that is stationary in a moving and dynamic miniatures game, but to make a competitive one is even harder. So the challenge for this week is to build a power 9-10 piece with the Emplacement ability. Lets see what you got! Just don't move anywhere, because that's not allowed, you have to stay stationary and all that... you get the point... rules time:




Rules:

1. The character must be canonical to either of the Canon or Legends continuities and from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.

2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at lest 10 forum posts.

6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.



You will have until Sat, Sep 15th, 2018 @8pm EST to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.


Voting will start at 8pm on Saturday evening and end at 11pm EST on Monday, Sep 17th, 2018.

At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.

I figure GG might get a kick out of a new separatist emplacement.

This piece would be for the purpose of area denial. Is your enemy betting on claiming gambit? Or do you have two major paths for your enemy to get to your juicy, vulnerable commanders? Put this bad boy in your squad, and make it a complete nightmare for anyone short of a ninja (or a bounty hunter) to make it through.

Fun combo's can include throwing/pushing enemies into the vixus' reach, or placing it in the way of gallopers or chargers.

I'm on a Seppy roll right now.

Not my entry this time, but was having flashbacks to the Republic Commando game. Enjoy!

Super Battle Droid Dispenser

Fun note, it can be pawned!

Sheesh quiet week indeed Oakel, well hopefully Jak votes this week haha.

Clearly my emplacement idea didn't "stick" with people..... ok I can make dad jokes because I am one!

I posted thoughts on the comments but Jak yours is quite fun looking and would make a nice gambit camper, and a Oakel you built a better sarlacc. Great stuff.

2nd Jak
1st Oakel

Haha all good Jak, and Oakel looks like we tied. You can take this week though!

however
with Accurate Shot, it can Attack any piece it chooses,
I don't think an Opponent can hide all their pieces.
