That Talon is very nice. Such a drop in cost from the original yet so very playable. I do wonder about the effectiveness of HoDK. Since both Krayts only have F2FR1, I don't see either offering much in the way of FP help. Wyyrlok with DSHologram will be a much more reliable source of FPs, I would think.
That Juggernaught and Tech look very fun as well. Kudos to the design team.

Upon further reflection, HoDK is a fantastic inclusion. Wow is she aggressively priced! It's nice to see the ladies of SW bringing the heat.

I commend who ever designed this figure, great placement of a figure that the sith were sorely missing. Turn to the dark side fits her, but it was mostly attempted as an adjacent ability. I'll leave it at that.

It isn't that she was bad, she was just drawn... To the dark side that way. :)

Double attack Ataru Style Mastery (+4 Attack and Twin Attack if exactly 1 enemy is within 6 squares)  Hand of Darth Krayt (This character can spend its own Force points once per turn and spend Force points from a character who counts as Darth Krayt once per turn) Stealth (If this character has cover, it does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets) Synergy (This character gains +4 attack and +4 defence while within 6 squares of a character who counts as Darth Krayt) Turn to the Darkside (Replaces attacks: range 6; 20 damage to 1 target with a Force rating. The target can choose to negate this damage and instead make a save of 11; if the save fails, the target joins this character's squad until the end of the skirmish.)

Well that's because we not aloud to see it. Nice character though.

Extra Attack from Krayt, Backlash from Wyyrlok, +10 Damage from Bandon, Rage from Ghostar Kun. She can be a major beast in the right build.

She's really cool, but i dont know that either krayte is really worth playing at this time to justify the boost.

 Are you saying you couldn't access it? I just noticed it while browsing active topics the other day. There is usually one where they post the design thread for people to see how the character changed through development, so I thought it was a new spoiler. I've never had access to any of the design forums in the past, so... OOPS?

Hahaha, ok. Swinefeld, you were given read-only access to the set 5 forum to help quality control and help quicken the rate Shinja gets the stuff to put into the squad builder here. I thought that was communicated to you, but I guess it wasn't (not your fault of course!). So that thread you saw was a non-public design thread.
So that preview of Darth Talon is by no means final. That might be what she ends up as, but don't consider it as anything but a name spoiled. Merry Christmas, lol!

That's what I get for not checking the links. And forgetting to communicat.
Pity, too. Since I was going to preview my favorite piece from the set tomorrow. But you opened the present early.

Lol, well I'm off to a flying start I guess.  Family, where I'm staying now have a habit of letting Christmas gift spoilers slip. Must've rubbed off.

You can get the power-coupling from the Tech while you are both behind a wall, move to the other side of the tech (remaining adjacent the whole time) and shoot 6 times, then move back to safety. Boom. I'll be expecting your apologies soon. ;)

If you are interested, a very fan requested piece is being deciphered bit by bit on SWMGamers forums. I lost 20 minutes just by working on the clues.
