Force vision was changed more times than I can count in the process. It's a tricky ability to balance, especially on a fringe character. I think needing line of sight and it having to be a lower cost character will prevent it from being broken.

I know I posted many spoilers at once recently, and many have already gotten their sets - but there are a few figs posted that nobody has even commented on. And some of those are pretty freaking useful.

There's only a few pieces not spoiled yet, and they are some of the best pieces in the set IMO.

But first lets hear what everyone thinks of the posted pieces.

The Tantive Trooper is just fun to spam.

The more i look at her stats the more i like Alema. She has good everything really lol. I think she can really catch people off guard for what she brings to the table for her point cost.

reading my cards, I'm not seeing anyone that blows me away.
can anyone tell me their favorite new piece, and why.

I must be getting old

If something blows you away, it's broken. You should look at these pieces and say "that's pretty good/decent/solid."

Dray's interesting - seems like a piece with lots of potential uses. I don't think he'll quite be competitive, as he's kind of a jack of all trades that you're paying quite a lot for.
- he's a fringe follower, so Whorm can give him Twin, but he's not very mobile.
- I've never really seen the value in Dark Master.
- I think Force Vision (the immediate attack FP) is his biggest calling card. There was a playtest squad listed with Carth Onasi, ORS, who is definitely a worthy recipient (he already has access to the OR Senator, but I guess spamming this guy and the OR Senator might work). General Weir could be another good piece to cannon?



With the Death Watch Overlord, how does the timing of Ba'slan Shev'la work with Resol'nare - do you just get to choose which to do first? You obviously don't get prideful with Pre Viszla. I'm kind of curious as to whether the DWO is worth running without getting the Prideful bonus - he's still a decent attacker and has his swap trick. I really like the Mando stuff in this set - really fleshing out the good work from the last couple of sets, and I think they'll see some play.


I'm really looking forward to running Yu'shaa. Seems like plenty of potential shenanigans.

+1

Also, as with all the sets, I think there are some 'sleepers' in here that will prove to be more effective than they appear at first glance.

So many new trooper options.

(Felth, LaRone, Veers, Lars)

Davin Felth
Not what I was expecting, I see the theme of CIS hate in this V-set .

Daric LaRone
I honestly feel he is just over costed. There may be some synergy I'm missing, but I like Taxtro heaps better

Major General Veers
Combining fire love for the Imps! I wish he had gunner, but I like him lots!

Viqi Shesh
Can be a nice addition to the Vong for Reinforcements. Cool concepts, but not how I would have represented her.
Attack boosts are welcome in the Vong. I wish she had Aggressive negotiations or even Diplomat. Is there any NR character you guys have in mind for Reinforcements? At least she will replace or even stand with Lobot. I woulda liked her in the OR with Reiforcements, but I understand she nave really was loyal to them.

Kam Solusar
Anyone that can bring my favorite star wars character into a new faction is alright in my book. A nice Jedi Defender.
