Non-unique followers get +2 atk and +2 Def. Imperial Triumverate? Sound like "Flim" is on his way as well. Which, I kind of liked. "Flim" was a fun character. Just something seems off with the combination of IT and Tactician, as they both function the same unless it is something that you continue to add to initiative for each member of the Imperial Triumverate (which is why "this bonus stacks). So that would mean, if the wording is correct is that you get +2 via Tactician, and +2 per member of the Triumverate. And although I am only speculating wildly here, I get the feeling, once again if the wording is correct, that Thrawn (either or both) are going to be split apart upon the 3 characters of the Triumvrate: Flim (Possible pick a CE from a commander whose name contains "Thrawn"), Grodin (who has part of Grand Admiral CE but 1 less Def/Atk but rangeless), and Moff Disra, which may or may not have some form of damage booster. Once again, I am only guessing so I am probably completely and utterly wrong.

I think the init bonuses and Tierce's CE are the closest you will get to similar to either Thrawn.

I think the init bonuses and Tierce's CE are the closest you will get to similar to either Thrawn. Tierce was the strategist of the group so that makes sense. "Flim," if in this set, would have to be a cheap piece that draws attention. Whether that's draw fire or another ability, I am merely speculating. Disra would be the one that I find intriguing. He was the sneaky little one of the group. Internal strife due to his propensity to betray. Possible reinforcement generator? I don't know. I am just spit balling here.

Hmmm, the first Imp preview has triumvirate and there just happen to be 3 Imp pieces in this set. Me thinks Flim and Disra are forthcoming.

Being a Imp player I like this piece, but I don't at all get why we get Rival on him. It certainly wasn't in playtests I made. Clone of Tierce replaced his orignal and killed Rukh (Thrawn's killer) while serving UNDER THRAWN.I get why rival for Palleon- he tried to kill the man in the end. Or is it just the tool to some higher means? Hinkbert wrote:Hmmm, the first Imp preview has triumvirate and there just happen to be 3 Imp pieces in this set. Me thinks Flim and Disra are forthcoming. Who knows? :) I can neither confirm nor deny it :D

There were issues with the Thrawn/Pelleon interactions. 2. They wanted to get Imps away from reliance on Thrawn and Pelleon, who are pretty much mainstays now. 3. The Triumvirate was trying to impersonate Thrawn, so obviously they never actually worked with him.

Clarify? Like I said, I wasn't looking at the conversations. It is entirely possible that they were working in ways they did not like, if not necessarily overpowered.

I don't know if they had any previews for Chicago or not. Considering who was there, they might not have, since most probably already saw the minis.

The previews from Atlanta (Tierce's Clone and the Padawan) were the same ones that were set to be revealed in Chicago.

Flim and Disra are obviously in this set as well. The addition of Rival happened early on in the process, but before the current versions of the cards were completed. it was decided to leave that ability on for flavor purposes. (Yes, that means that if you run the Triumvirate you will be able to do some pretty cool things but you will have to leave your Thrawns and Pelleaons in the box.) That's really all I should say about it.

It's going to be complicated using proxy minis for Tierce's Clone, Flim, and Disra - I imagine they all look like middle-aged guys with uniforms, so it'll be hard to tell them apart.

Based on current info, I'll speculate as to the set list breakdown:
5 OR #1-5
5 Sith #6-10
5 Republic #11-15
3 Seps #16-18
5 Rebel #19-23
3 Imps #24-26
5 NR #27-31
confirmed position
18 Fringe #32-49
5 Mandos #50-54
5 Vong #55-60
It lays out conveniently that way, though there certainly could be more or less than 5 in some of the factions.

Well form cannon Tierce is a royal guard and stormtrooper Disra is an old guy that is a moff Flim is a dude pretending to be a chiss You'll be able to tell them apart :)
