i wonder if the abilities will be called:
cummunication supplies and demolision supplies? That's the thing, if you need to use it more than twice, I would say you are better off with Uggies and Mice. There are some very, very neat ways this will play out, I predict. And not in an abusable way, unless breaking the stranglehold Uggies and Mice have is overpowered. It is THE gamechanging piece of the set...

This was one of the first pieces we completed in the set. People had been going on and on about getting their Uggies killed and being locked out. So we figured giving satchel charge to one of your hard to kill guys or a caamasi noble would be the way to get around that. You have to spend 10 points on him so that's 3 Uggies +1 point to play him. His best utility is giving satchel to a noble and then round 2 giving either satchel or relay to some other fodder piece.
Not playing Uggies and mice I know will be weird. I'd suggest trying him out in a Sith or Republic beef squad. GOWK blowing doors up is both really useful and hilarious.

Squibs were an integral supporting cast of a Star Wars RPG that I was in. They were amazing pieces well performed (and voiced) by Lackey. Some of the crazy things he had them do included robbing Bossk, kidnapping an Imperial Trooper and then pushing him out of an air lock, going into a city with 10K Credits and coming back with 10K Credits and a new ship, and somehow hijacking a Huge Crab Droid to do its bidding. I was so excited to see we were finally doing a piece, it's definitely a fun piece ^_^

I used the gun from the mustafarian for another charactet in this set that needed an impressive gun.

[/quote] In the Captain America Heroclix set there was a Shield special object (as seen here http://trollandtoad.com/p315504.html) I'm trying to find a photo for size reference. Worse comes to worse I'll grab a photo when I get home and post it here. EDIT: Found another good photo here: http://herominis.com/object-the-shield-cas102-captainamerica-s102.html

Believe this is probably the same thing in a "lot" image, which helps for the size reference you are looking for

That is indeed the same item. Heroclix pieces tend to run a bit bigger than SWM pieces but as you can see the Shield there is a nice size. Man I liked the LEs in that set. But I'm biased, I love Captain America...

For customising the Guild leader:
I guess it doesnt matter what you use... crimson nova isnt a species, just an organisation.

Although Mika, who the CHBG was based on, was also leader of the Crimson Guild, so completely appropriate. Arguably, we have two different generic versions of Mika and different times in her career.
