I dont care about $20 storm commandos... just paint up some scout troopers (much cheaper) and mix in with what commandos you have
in the days of V sets i dont think official minis are essential ????
what do you think ????

what do you think ???? I think there will perhaps be more time alloted to pre-game setting up in order to make sure your opponent knows exactly what minis you are using. In local play groups you will probably start recognising whatever customs your regular players use. But, whether they will start allowing you to use customs representing Stom Commandoes, I do not know.

what do you think ???? Official minis...no, see Customs under Floor Rules. Official cards...yes, 1 per for anything pre DOTF. I plan on being a stickler on these things, other judges, not so much. Also it depends on the venue, I'll be a lot more strict at a Regional or Gencon than I would anywhere else.

See the 2 sticky'd threads at the top of the General forum. V-set pieces are legal for use in SWMGPA sanctioned tournments such as Regionals and Gencon, and at the discretion of anyone else organizing smaller tournaments (such as your local playgroup).

what do you think ???? +1 A. because of Vsets and B. because some just were not around at the beginning so do not have minis form earlier sets

Well for one thing, the fact that Storm Commandos go for $20 (and you can definitely get them cheaper than that btw, but you're right that they are on the expensive side) isn't because they're good pieces; it's because they are a non-unique Rare from an older set. You know what else goes for $20? Stormtrooper on Repulsor Sled. Yeeeeeeah.... Secondly, do you really think that giving them Shields 2 makes them too good? Honestly, it just makes them playable, because they currently aren't. Bring a Storm Commando squad to a competitive tournament (like a Regional or GenCon) and you probably won't do very well. Weir will make them playable, but probably still isn't enough to make them top-tier. im a little out of touch with the game so i wouldn't know, thanks for the update.

Well, all i have to say is that you now give them shields 2, twin, super stealth, swap, and the list goes on and on. I understand that they are probably trying to make them playable like the rebel commandos, uugghhh.... but i do not think they need to. why make this piece at all? does the imperial faction need the help? Why not continue to make the other factions that are not very good, better? DoTF went a LONG way to start balancing the factions, but lets face it sith still suck, vong still suck, old republic still suck.

Obviously your prize support will not be a ticket to GenCon unless you have a LOT of people attend and ask for more than $15, lol. Basically, Regionals were created to be an uber-tournament leading up to GenCon, it's to get people out of the woodwork to play against new players and such.

Updated post 1 with a few more characters, however please note that for these characters set numbers and full names might change, I think factions are correct but hey you never know.

Just repaint it the way you want, they are cheap and easy to find, and use other Phaze III DT :P Plz change it to DT P3 .:) Any spoilers about Mohc's SA, or CE? Give us something:P

Give us something:P Remember the rules for a RM. It has to be something that you aren't likely to play with the existing in faction minis. For Rohm, I bet you can guess he has a CE for Dark Troopers. So in order to create a RM for those that don't want to customize, it cannot be a DT of any kind, since those would be the most likely minis played with him. Now, for those that customize, by all means, go repaint a DT. That's what I did and it looks great. We just can't make that a requirement for the RM because some people don't want to even repaint a mini, and we can't force them to do so. But it is a very easy custom.

I'm curious to see who the makers of R&R are most excited about.
