Well, tis the season to be cold, or at least to have a cold. While I sit at home at night watching my wife sneeze even more than me, I've gotten around to finishing this batch of cards and thought I'd release them right before the holidays. I've got family coming through so I may be busy next week. Hmmm ..., I'm rambling ....

Continuing with my Vong and Rebel reinforcements, plus a few other pieces (I refer to the “Heroes” a lot, you know, the Luke, Han, Leia, etc. from the 1st trilogy.) Submitted for your approval .....


First Up, The Rebels .....


Ackbar, Admiral of the Fleet He was one of the first "Big" pieces that weren't part of the Heroes, the man who invented "It's a Trap" yet he's pretty much disappeared. Thought I'd try to update him.





Borsk Fey'lya Borsk is a strange figure, a hero one minute, a traitor (think Caamasi) the next. I thought I'd try him as the Bothan Spynet guy.





Jedi Fugitive If it wasn't for Dark Times and Jax, Dass, and Ferus, every Rebel Force User is part of the Hero subfaction. Not a single non-unique, ordinary joe-blow that may have survived and surfaced after Order 66? My take on a Jedi survivor. Over 10,000 Jedi and even if they killed 99%, that means a hundred or so should have survived ....





Red Hand Hardcase I always thought that Somebody may be a suicide bomber type; thought about making him Alderaanian, but the Red Hand boys will do. Apologies for using the WOTC pic; best Red Hand I could find.





Verpine Freedom Fighter Actually its coincidence that the only other Verpine is a Reb too. I was just wondering if a sonic attacker to go against some of the enemy CE’s might help. I realize some still grant there SA’s even if stunned, but it was a thought….





My next group, the Vong.


Disciple of Yun-Harla Kind of a cross between Nom and a real spy.





Eminence Harrar I added his CE concerning Elan after I saw her V-Set piece. I thought Droid Zealot sounded about right.





Nei Rin, Ossus Master Shaper Liked the pic (yes its from the comic) and thought she’d be a nice complimentary piece to the othe Ossus Vong. Still wondering if Master Shaper and Shaper +20 was overkill; I may amend that ....





Vagh Rodiek A strange creature, but the Vong a strange so why not.





Yuuzhan Vong Swoop Analog Sort of the Vong version of a snow speeder. The pic is a modified Coral Skipper that I chopped and channeled ….






Back to the Fringe.


Gamorrean Informant Yes I know what he looks like …. call him a skinny, mutant Gamorrean, but an interesting piece anyway.





Jannik the White Always wanted to do a card for him; just seemed like an interesting guy. Didn’t go into the Nym angle.





Ongree ECM Technician Just trying out a cut and paste with the head plus an SA idea.





Peace Brigade Saboteur I liked the idea of pairing a Peace Brigade guy and a saboteur together.





Peace Brigade Smuggler More cut & pasting of heads; a pilot for the Brigade and another potential tidbit for a Peace subfaction.





Weequay Mercenary Officer Other than Nym, Boba and the Chagrian, the Mercs don’t have much in the way of CE help, and Nym and Boba are expensive.





The usual comments and other objects you want to throw at me are always welcome. Happy Holidays to all.

Peace

@corran

Glad you liked Ackbar. Regarding Borsk's CE, I was more interested in bringing in the Imp Bothan's Proximity Mines for the Rebels.

The Jedi Fugitive; I wanted to give him a desperate, hunted quality, ... sorta zap everybody with the Jedi Mind Trick and then run.

Glad you like the Weequay. I saw a hole that needed to be filled.

Koba, good catch on the unique/Jannik bit. I must've been full of Nyquil that night. Completely understand about the Vong; never was much into them yet some people love them. Regarding the Fugitive, was he jumped by a more powerful force user or just .....?

Has anyone thought of making a map specific SA?
Like for Borsk Fey'la "Bothans get +4 attack on the Bothan spy net map"

@Corranhorn,
Perhaps the Three Amigos sounds better? (I dibs Steve Martin's Amigo... )
I should try some stats again, when I get a decent block of free time.

@Surf,
Nah, the rebels lost to a swarm of storm troopers + Vader Dark Jedi. There was also a fresh imperial guard closing to mop up the fugitive. I was losing too many rebel troopers, and had to pull the last two, R2Doombot and the captain back towards Gambit and override some doors but all it did was buy time... The match was just under an hour. I think I said id play rebels for 108pts or something, I didnt take exhaustive notes
That said, the Fugitive still made for a fun piece and I think a jedi theme party (with an Ergesh Master as strike leader) would make for interesting king of the hill matches, sort of like the "Conclave of Kessel" comic.

@Knappskirata
That sounds like a neat SA/CE! It could be fun to combine with terrain altering abilities, or some "Attack X" style abilities, where x is the number of types of terrain the player is standing on (such as intersections/overlaps of green, yellow and magenta terrain). I think you could also have fun by trying to import elements from Tannhauser across, with their "pathfinding" system of targetting... its a color coded system which allows for easy line of sight. Im not sure how the items mechanic from Tannhauser/Star Wars Trading Card Game would work, but that could be an avenue too.

Are there any other game elements you'd cross with SWMs?
Ive experimented with incorporating the "force pool" concept from SWTCG, with a slight alteration: whoever wins initiative also 'has the force with them', a bonus x dice are added to that players force pool for the duration of that round only (in other words, the bonus force points dont accrue and expire), where x is the absolute value of the number of force users present on the field during that round.
Some situations with this mod have arisen; reserves do not alter the number of force users until the round after, CE's that allow an entire squad to use 'a force battery' either count all figures on the field OR only the printed force users with a force value, and normal force restrictions apply as to the number of force points that may be spent and when.

The Three Amigos it is! Shoot me a BM if you ever get around to making stats, I'd be more than happy to take a look at them!

Ooooh, that would be sweet!

Hear hear! Three cheers for the Vset team!

.... "moving equipment?" I realize that the majority of the people who look at my thread are the "silent majority" RPG players, but that sounds like their territory, and I'm a SWM guy at heart. But glad you liked him; I actually can't remember if I'd planned any more Jal Shey or not .....

On a side note, a republic officer,

Roonan, Selkath, or Givin?

Selkath it is.

I've been spending time on quality control & I've been redoing/rediscovering some cards I either never released or didn't like the first time through; I may have to whip them up here.

Speaking of cards, as I've been revieing/redoing, I've been looking at some Jedi that were council members and a thought came to mind. Council members were "a group of twelve wise and powerful Jedi Masters who were elected to guide the Order." Now, I've been looking at Master of the Force as a force ability and looked at who in WOTC had it. It was usually the high end bad azzes but not always consistant; only 3 Yoda's, 2 Palp'ss, 1 Vader yet no Mace. Not a very consistant showing, yet I thought shouldn't High Council members be powerful enough to have MOTF? Shaak Ti JM has it but no Mace? I'm just wondering who would qualify as a MOTF? .... or is that more of "this version gets This and that version gets That FP?'
