One question only- why doesn't this new Vader like scout troopers? I really like him, first Vader which can protect himself for real; but why his CE isn't shortened to: Followers within 6 squares whose name contain troopers? This way the CE could be used to all imperial troopers, whatsover.Did design team thought that we had enought scout troopers in DotF, or what?

Any way love the new pieces, love v-sets, keep the work, because it's waaaaay better then WotC!

This will answer your question :)

Ok thx 4 answer.
BTW:

Love the Weir !! I mean thx 4 dusting off one of my favourite minis- Scout trooper on speeder bike. Another question: Do you guys plan to pimp ( I had to:P ) him out in future sets? For the moment he has access to:
twin, opportunist, +3att/+3def; +6 to Def and some others; but with a attack of 5, I still need a heck of a roll to kill those pesky fodders (yeah mouse droids, I'm talking to you!);

Commando has access to variety of CE's, biggest one being Evade and Cunning +20, which increases his attack to 10;
Clone trooper on speeder/Barc speeder +4 attack/+4 def; opportunist, death shots and others
Don't even get me started with Lancer:P

Wow.
Atris/Handmaiden squads just got stronger.
Gray Jedi is scary, in both pros and cons. Interesting piece.

You'd hope the Gray Jedi would get off at least 2 LS Assaults before dying... with 4 attacks, there is a 19% chance that the Gray Jedi rolls at least one 1.

On the other hand, if you fit in Wedge and a TBSV... then you have GMA and can use the Force Point for Dark Temptation. Up to 120 damage on the move at +14. 14% chance of turning due to Internal Strife. 50% chance of turning through Dark Temptation. Together, only a 43% chance of making it through that without switching sides. Gray indeed.

I'm not 100% clear on how the two would work together. I think with a roll of 1 Internal Strife would cancel any future attacks and the character would switch sides immediately. But there would still be a DT roll, so the character could switch back on the same turn. So DT makes it a true 50/50 proposition - 7% chance of doing a double switch, and ultimately 50/50 which side he ends up on.

I do like the Gray Jedi ...particularly in OR, though it is risky. Ambush, Extra At, will be nice plus squeeze in Bastilla for an additional +10 Dam. GJ has a similar feel as the Wookiee Jedi, can hit hard, but don't expect it to be on your squad at the end of the game. Here's hoping we get some dark-siders like these guys.

Probably so. The ever-present chance of rolling a 1 with no getting around it pretty much means this piece should be using DT any time it attacks.

Just be ready to dust it with a shooter if it turns, and you've swung victory points by 60. (30 more for you, 30 less your opponent can score, forcing them to kill everything or gain a boatload of gambit.)

Quite the gamble.

Although I think the possibility of switch sides will keep the Gray Jedi from running in serious competitive games, he seems like he'll be fun... and different fun in different factions. In the Old Rep, for example, he seems to pair nicely with the Revanchist (Ambush) or the Exile (4 attacks, if you can pull it off). Throw in a Weequay Leader and the Gray Jedi can, under the right circumstances, vape almost anyone.

Love them both. Brianna is nice, but she's competing against another Handmaiden for points and its a tough choice (which is generally a good sign that a piece is appropriately priced). She's a lot tougher than a Handmaiden, but without twin is much less deadly.
