I don't see it! from what I see the most recent is still #77 can't wait to tune in!

Thanks! for some reason it wasn't showing up

+1

Daala grants charging, gives rapport AND +4/+10 all for less than the Vong can grant Charging alone. AND she's giving it to shooters 99/100 times! Granted there is a big restriction to get the +4/+10, but the other facts more than make up for it.

The main damage output of Vong is Melee, so they really struggle against guns. They do have a few movement breakers, but they only really shine outside of Nom Bombs (IMO) when they steal swap (the best movement breaker in the game).

It is a gradual process. Long have the Vong suffered against non-melee. Set 5 released Nei Rin which gave +4 defense for allies with V. Crab Armor against non adjacent attacks, and also let's them move 2 squares when they fail a crab armor save, thus letting them prevent the twin/additional attacks if positioned right. These on top of being a shaper (+10 damage to all Vong) are really great abilities, but the Vong still need more to compete.

One issue is that it's really hard to fit all you need into a squad with Vong. Gotta have the Yammosk (15), Quorreal is one of the best values in the game (costing 4-9 net points after his reinforcements with psuedo-rapport), but costs 30 initially, if you want to have warriors or hunters, you pretty much have to have a shaper (20 min, but the better ones are in the high 20s), Jakan was brought up, and he's good but expensive (27), then you usually need at least 1-2 commanders to help the Vong's typically pitiful attacks hit (11 for the cheapest Advance Agent Officer who is awesome, but they become less cost efficient after that), The really awesome but not cheap Domain Shai Subaltern who grants charging (29), and of course you still have to put in door control (at the moment, Lobot is still the best option - 27), and if you don't want to go the route of Vong heresy - you have to include a bunch of Zanoma Sekot Scouts, or the very overpriced Prefect Da'Gara (37) for Firejelly. Quednek is an awesome piece, but has low HP and a pitiful Low attack, but still cost you 20, and you'll need another large to make them really killer in case you steal swap with the Yammosk, but you can probably bring that in with a reinforcement. Oh - and then you need some warriors or hunters, and you're almost out of points.

Then there is the issue of virtual auto-losses. Vong have more than any other faction. What do Vong do when they face a bunch of droids? In Universe they go beserk and tear them apart. In our game - they turn inept. This is crazy! A Spit poison squad nerfed by a few mouse droids? That sucks. Try running your Jedi Hunter swarm against an IG-88 or IG-86 squad. Good luck! Don't even get me started about strafe vs (anything other than nom bomb) Vong. It's a massacre! I've even beaten Nom Bombs several times at regional tournaments with a lancer (it was much more of a match - it took very careful play). Finally disruptive - it hurts the Vong so bad. It totally squashes spit swarms and nom bombs, and it even hurts warriors and hunters because without attack boosts like the AAO, it's very hard for them to HIT ANYTHING!

Vong have scarey damage potential, but issues are getting TO the fight, and auto-losses. Cheap teach could help bring some of the auto-losses into a competitive match, and other little movement breakers and SAs can help them not be killed before they can even attack. It's a razor's edge balance - because too much in one direction and the already scarey damage potential would make them too good. That's why we are trying to add things gradually to the Vong to aide in that.

Yep, I can safely say he will be in most of my builds for a long time!

Thorium charge

I can already see the demolitionist replacing the death watch pieces in a Pre Viszla/Jaster squad.

There's already a set number 55, so which is wrong? this guy or the vong shamed one?

I believe these are the previews your talking about.

The beast rider is probably # 4 or later since they are listed alphabetically.
I think we may have two other Army of Light pieces as #1 and 2

I actually knew who Gantoris is, but for those who don't here is his Wki page:

I believe Exar comes to the New Republic. If not I would be disappointed.
