Which leads to the next question: is he a large or medium? I hope he's medium.

Thanks. I'm hoping I don't have to re-base a mini.

The problem is that in most squads you might be able to fit maybe 2-3 in if you want the squad to do well. I find it hard to believe that a squad with 5-6 of these would do well. They only have 60 hp, and to get their defense insane the Imperials need to invest 53pts for a Darth Vader who's ce is great, but not much else is. I like the peice and I don't see it posing a big problem in the future. Honestly, Diplomat and Spy are a lot worse than Invisiblity.

Exactly, they can get a few more bonuses because they are "troopers" but as Mando said they are too expensive and fragile to make a whole squad of them. I think it is a cool, fun piece.

Sure, they do have some range, but Grip 1 is hardly devastating, and Lightning 1 means they are getting close to the action.

In some builds, yes, Holoveers will be a pain to deal with. And they are decent swappers. Combo'ed with a bunch of other CE's, they get kind of scary. That's what happens when you are an Imperial Trooper, even Melee. I feel they give the Imperials a decent Melee option, like the JWM. Of course, the Knights will also be an option, and we aren't done boosting them...

Invisibility is very powerful. There is a reason no one else has gotten it. I think it matches up pretty well to the Chameleon Droid, all boosts being available to the different figs.

And Dreadtech, feel free to post your concerns. There's times when it's important to understand a different view. I'll be honest, a lot of Sev'rance Taan isn't aimed at the DCI format. Some of the designers do try to keep it in mind.

Flavor text: (did not fit on card)
Krynda Draay formed the secret Jedi Order of the Covenant and personally set out to train the greatest Consulars of the Order, which she hoped would be strong enough to find the shatterpoint that would lead to the next Sith outbreak.

Wow! I really like her, the Covenant is becoming a very interesting subfaction for the OR. Very interesting...

Im trying so hard to resist doing this.

Sure, read the glossary definition.
