Awesome new cards Surf! I'm really digging the Sandtrooper ones! Hope you have a good holiday week brother. Looking forward to your next batch of cards.

I really like the Talz Sith, is that a character from somewhere or did you create him?

Also, if I may ask, why do you stay away from Uniques in general?

Loving the theme and new cards Surf. My only concern/input is The Nagai Blade Master seems a little under priced, but that's just my 2 cents dude. Just thought I'd throw that out there for you to consider. Keep up the great work brother. I still got quite a few of your older posts to go back through. You post them faster than I can read through them. lol

lol Yeah I see what your saying dude. Coming from that perspective he does seem fair and appropriately priced. The dice are always against me brother. I gotta buy some new ones. I never roll worth a crud every time I play. lol

The troig, the anx, the Herglic and the Flesh Raider in particular all stand out of this batch.
I think i have some fodder to attempt a Flesh Raider custom sometime down the line, some hasslefree "alien head" work perfectly for the face.
I will probably build a separatist themed army around the Anx...

Any chance of an Ergesh jedi shrub?
Great work as ever, and thanks for sharing another great batch

I've never played the Old Republic online game so I'm guessing at what a Flesh Raider could do; I was hoping for a dangerous creaure that should die quickly; do weaker a Force user you are (padawan) the more dangerous, and a good Jedi Master should be able to dispatch one quick.

Yea, I loved the Hunt Master pic too and unlike the Rodian Hunt Master, I wanted to bring a more "Hunter" like feel to him and a good hunter is also a good tracker so ... a good Big Game hunter type.

Other than my Rodian Clan characters I tried to Not use the usual 5-6 species that seem to make up the majority of non-humans I've got tons of Rodian, Twi'lek, Duros, Bothan, etc. pics but unless I'm going for something specific I try for the little seen EU non-humans; the RPG lurkers probably love me because of that

Appreciate the comments ....



I saw somewhere that there was talk of another V-Set piece getting Booming Voice down the road; there's been talk about a new BV powered character for years. Is he expensive enough? I wanted to make him cheap enough to use but not so cheap that it doesn't sting a touch costwise; had to make him a unique, otherwise you could get a couple and never have to worry about losing/guarding just the one.

I actually have an Ergesh piece; I never released it because it's B&W and I like using color pics .... and its not s shrub, more of a bush with tentacles ......

A great batch! The republic got a lot of neat pieces with this batch, and that Swokes Swokes is pretty neat. I think that species lends itself readily to sith themed pieces...
Divo is suitably useful and useless; especially when combined with Kazdan Paratus.

Well, tis the season to get a cold, so here I sit. In between reading and watching sports on the tube, I polished off these lil gems. I gotta admit I like some of these and hope I didn't go too overboard on some of them.

I asked a question over on the General thread to gauge where the factions were in regards to there relative strengths to each other. No major surprises in the first three, the most powerful being the Imps, Republic and Seps. I thought The NR was still ahead of the Sith (wrong) with the OR somehere around them (surprise, surprise they're ahead of those two.) What really surprised me was that the Rebels had fallen so low! The Mandos and Vong have built in weaknesses, (Mando's being all firepower/not much melee and the Vong all melee/not much firepower) and of course neither with any real Force abilities. But the Rebels really threw me.

I've refrained from doing much for either the Rebels or Vong; I didn't think the Rebs needed anything and I'm no Vong expert (plus good Vong pics are hard to find) so after this news I hit both a little harder than normal. I've even hit the New Republic with a couple, tossed on a Mando or two, a Black Sun, and a few stray, strange Jedi. Going against my norm, 2/3 of this group is Not Fringe. Needless to say, there's no theme to this set, other than its themelessness. In alpha order ....


Aleena Podracer Here I promise something different, and the first one's a harmless Aleena piece. What can I say, I like the pic ....





Bivall Intelligence Officer I didn't want to just give him Cloak; that would've just been the Mando piece from the V-Set. But he's weak enough to kill if based and should be able to "hide" well enough from a ranged attack. Its a thought.





Black Sun Executioner Thought I'd wave my Black Sun faction Card. Easily made into a Fringe if necessary. A Black Sun piece to go to war with against the Hutt Cartel.





Cerean Scout on Aryx Sort of a Tauntaun with a Cerean twist for the New Republic and Old Republic.





Charon Warrior Wasn't really sure what to do with the "antilife" bent of the Charon, but he was a request.





Chistori Thug A rare Chistori. He was actually hard to cobble together, needing a head and arm swap. just a vicious brute, the kind the Hutts would use.





Commander Kapp Dendo As I was researching the SpecForce, I bumped into him. Winter's "partner" during many Rebel adventures, I debated giving him to the NR because of Winter being there but opted instead to make him a Rebel SpecForce leader with Winter coming to the Rebs. Something to help the SpecForce be better I hope.





Devaronian Adventurer Another cobbled together pic, and the character is sort of a Jack-of-all-trades piece, being able to do a little of everything; I'm wondering if my Endurance SA was worded ok; I wanted him to be able to move 2 extra spaces before he calls it a done deal, kinda like Leia, Senator's CE movement.





[b Ergesh Jedi Master[/b] A request; but you can only do so mush as a walking plant; couldn't see a plant making a Force Leap ......





[b Ithorian Healer[/b] Personally, I think all Ithorian's should have the sonic disabling cry's according to Wook's descriptions, but instaed of Momaw War Throat, I gave him an Ithorian SA that just activates people nearby, not damaging them; indiscriminate enough that you need to be careful. After all, Healers should "Do No Harm."





Mandalorian Blade Instructor There are a handful of Mando melee pieces; I'm wondering if this guy could help them more competative against melee Sith and Jedi pieces?





Mandalorian Scout Commander Somehoe, with all the Tech and training this warrior society has I find it hard to believe they don't know how to Recon an enemies position before hitting it. The argument that they shot first ask questions later sound more like the Death Watch.





Rebel Command Tactician The Rebels had some very good Tactician's, yet no Mini's with the Tactician SA. I also made him with some other interesting abilities/CE's. Curious to see if these help the Rebs.





Rishii Jedi Knight I tripped over this pic while surfing and since its a rare species .....





Roonan Agent Just a rare Roonan that's a Rebel troublemaker ...





SpecForce Group Leader I think the SpecForeces could help the Rebels if they can lay down enough firepower to keep melee pieces away.





Elom Gunman Another new pic I tripped over surfing, another new species. Changed the name and out of order but all my cards are "out of order ...."





Yarkura Trooper Not my best head swap, but I wanted another Yarkora and he was requested.





I don't know if I've ever had three Vong pieces in a set before, but I found a few and they needed help. Not being a Vong man by any means, its hard to figure out what they need (ranged attacks) and what they can actually use yet stay within the species issues. Will any of these really help? heck if I know .....


Yuuzhan Vong High Priest I tried focusing on the Vong hatred of technology; I wanted the Droid Fanaticism but a little more extreme and possibly a little more controlled than the gained Savage from Fanaticism. Not being privy to the V-Set discussions on this sort of thing, I am free to extrapolate to my hearts content .....





Yuuzhan Vong Pilot Well, ... somebody had to be driving those Vong ships around .... I thought I'd give them Magma Pebble; it seemed like a good Vong ranged weapon and Vong pilots already are doing something most Vong don't do anyway .....





Yuuzhan Vong Prefect I wanted to create a Vong piece that was a pain. The intendant caste besides logistical supply were also spys and scouts. A little rapport with workers, add a dash of spy/recon and ......





I know this is a lot to take in, and right on the heels of my last release, but hey, they were burning a hole in my computer. They seemed like good ideas at the time .... Comments, always welcome, throwing rotten fruit and veggies is cool too I suppose; any reaction is better than none.


Peace.

So, Koba, don't be so shy, tell if you liked anything?

Actually, I'm hoping this Rebel group helps them a bit in some way, as hopefully do the new Vong and the New Republic pieces.

AS for changing the meta; geez .... that's a big order that the V-Setters should take on, not me. I'm a one man operation and cann't take in the big picture, just my own little corner of it. They'll see it much more clear than I ever would.

Did you think "Commit the Reserves" has the Rebel taste of desperation in it?

Thanks. Anything in particular you liked? I only ask to know what works or needs work ...
