Alright so last week was a bit slow and I'm hoping to get some more input this week. Still trying to stay away from major spoilers for the handful that haven't seen it, this week's theme in conjunction with Shmi is to create a new non-unique piece from the film.

Praetorian guard, Casino Police, weapons dealers, jedi caretakers, first Order executioner troopers, bomber pilots, heck even porgs or that weird bloomilk seal thing haha. Make some non-uniques!



1. 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)

2. 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 )

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

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


You will have until Sat, Jan 6, 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, Jan 8th, 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.

looks like I'll be sitting this week out as well

But here's an "entry" for your amusement

All these people sitting out is LAME!

I will probably be making Vulptex or Fathier.

Since we have been introduced to another BB droid, I wonder if there is a BB non-unique possibility. Kind of like the R series (R4, R7, R2, etc).

That's fair LB. We are missing your creativity and sorry you didn't like it. Definitely an entirely new direction for the series. And who knows there may come a time when they push Star Wars so much that even I don't like a movie. But for its shortcomings I still enjoyed it and I'm really hoping the first part of episode 9 is undoing the end of episode 8.

Well we are already on the Guard train, easily the coolest new non-unique so I say do it up!

I like to look at a movie for it's plot and character development first (hence why I actually find the prequels to be good movies, they actually are good storytelling, even if the acting/scripting isn't the best).

The main points behind TLJ's Plot make absolutely no sense, as I outlined in the Last Jedi threads in off topic. Poe and Kylo had good character development, Rey was ok, but not much growth in her character since TFA. That's about it really. It did some interesting things, but ultimately fails for me if you actually think about the plot.

Well ... back from the great white north (no GG, not That north.) Seattle was 30 degrees. I've lived in SoCal for 50 years and forgot what living in snow's like. I prefer a "cool" 50 myself.

Been also sick for the last few weeks, but I did manage to see the movie twice; the second just to confirm my opinion from the 1st time.

Don't like Rose; she's every millenial I've ever met. Saw lilltle point in Finn the 1st 80% of the movie so last contest was a no go from me. This contest I already did 3 months ago.

In my thread dated 10/03/17 I did the following



Elite Praetorian Guard Not much in Wook yet on these guys, but they were supposed to be samurai type and threatening ….. thought about acrobatic/agile but wanted to keep costs closer to 20 than 30.







... and I must say, considering it was 10 weeks before the movie I think it came out spot on.

Lots of Praetorian Guards out here, but I think mine definitely was "First In."


Cheers,

CQF on a Melee attacker that doesn't have any sort of ranged attack?
Bump attack to 12, same thing.

Nifty piece though!

Interestingly enough, CQF +8 Attack = Cost 22; no CQF & +12 Attack = cost 24. Go figure .....

That's why I consider cost-calculators a rather loose baseline, then try to factor in/out the 'intangibles', not that I'm very good at it either way.

aside:
I need to dig through my files for card templates and set up an app, because seeing stuff in card form is more fun (and practical, for gauging space concerns at least).
