In the Summer of 2012, at Gencon, your SWM's design team plans to release a 2nd epic set with a mixture of new Epic characters (Epic D5-6uos and 500pt Epic Format) with 5-7 Star Wars Vehicles. The Epic characters are intended to work with the 12 we released this summer and to continue to add to those formats. The Vehicles are meant for scenario play, but should be more usable than the ATAT :). What I want to know is what are the communities most wanted SWs vehicles. I have a working list already, and I suspect I could answer this, but have at it. Give me your top 5-10 that you'd like a stat card for. Like our other "what do you want" threads, you can give stats, or ideas as well for these as you desire. If you want to give character suggestions, those are welcome also.

Don't worry for now about sizes, but if you have a good figure to use for a RM, feel free to suggest it. We will be working out the kinks on sizes later, so for now, you can just ignore it. But don't go much bigger than an ATAT :). Think in terms of DDM sizes, Huge/Gargantuan/Colossal. Remake of existing figures are allowed as a suggestion as well.

Thanks,
Bill

Um Chewbacca in AtSt

Serious and long overdue attention needs to be paid to remake the following:

AT-AT
AT-ST
Imperial Speederbike
Skiff

and also for Sheets and Giggles

Luke and or Leia on Speederbike
Chewie & Ewoks in AT-ST

everything else is filler - work in an upgraded Rancor and you're golden.

In addition a Sarlacc would not be frowned upon.

Chewy and ewoks in at st (great idea, gives a heavy vehicle to rebels, a new chewy, and appeases ewok fans)
gorax
Tarpals on kaduu
Aat
Jabba's skiff
Windu on droid start fighter (from the clone war cartoon... would we an awesome custom)

OK, bear with me on this one because its going to take some space to explain. I created a Fambaa (from The Phantom Menace) a few years back but I can't find the card. It doesn't really matter though because the stats wouldn't stand up in today's game. But the special ability "Gungan Shield Generator" is what made the figure interesting. The basic idea was to make it so that you couldn't target someone who was inside the shielded area if you were outside of it. The description is a little long, but if you can follow the logic it really is an interesting. So here it is. By the way, I designed it with the thought that it would be a Huge base, but it could be larger.

Gungan Shield Generator (This character and characters within 6 squares of this character cannot target or be targeted by characters who are not within 6 squares of this character. Characters who are not within 6 squares of this character cannot draw line of sight through squares within 6 squares of this character. This character loses Gungan Shield Generator and gains Savage if it has less than half Hit Points remaining.)

I'll describe my thinking sentence by sentence to clarify my logic. Maybe someone could simplify it to make it shorter.

1 - This character and characters within 6 squares of this character cannot target or be targeted by characters who are not within 6 squares of this character. - Basically, if you are outside the shield, you can't target people inside it. If you're inside the shield, you can't target people outside it.

2 - Characters who are not within 6 squares of this character cannot draw line of sight through squares within 6 squares of this character. - This protects people on the opposite side of the shield who are still outside of the shield.

3 - This character loses Gungan Shield Generator and gains Savage if it has less than half Hit Points remaining. - In the movie, the shield was destroyed before the Fambaa died and the Fambaa went crazy and started trampling droids. The Savage part could be taken out, but I think it fits with the story.

I suggest giving it HP in the range of 100-140, but give it an average melee attack rating with 20 damage. This probably won't work well in EPIC Duos, but would be a lot of fun in a 500pt squad.

Play a game or two with it. It is a lot of fun.

The custom thread is like that,too. The last save must have malfunctioned.

AAh famba, thats one I forgot @swrouge, heres my attempt at it, alot more simple though =P

Shield Generator Fambaa 27
Hit Points: 100
Defense: 12
Attack: 0
Damage: 0
Special Abilities
Shield Generator (Characters within 6 cannot target enemies or be targeted by enemies farther than 6 squares away from this character)
The largest terrestrial herbivores of the swamp, fambaas were technically amphibians but had the scaly hide of reptiles and were native to the Gungan swamps of Naboo

- monstrous Gorax from forest moon of Endor
- Bull Rancor from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
- Rancor with a Dathomir Witch rider
- AAT Trade Federation Tank

- a restat of Grievous's Wheel Bike #58 would be awesome

I have built scale models of Jabba's sail barge and the Jawa Sandcrawler and they are both much larger that the AT-AT:

Sarlacc, anyone?!?!

Actually... just thinking about it, you could get a Huge base, completely cut off the mini, then print-out a piccy of the Sarlacc and glue it on. Presto. He (obviously) has emplacement... bang him down somewhere. Presto (again).

Idea for an epic vehicles scenario:

How about "Slave I" preparing for take off (or any ship really). One team is making a run for the ship, while the other team is trying to stop their escape. The ship basically has emplacement and access to its weapons. After a certain number of rounds the ship is able to take off, and the game ends.
