Ironically, the least Force-sensitive character, Han Solo, manages to say the “bad feeling” phrase the most of all characters (i.e., three times over three movies – Eps. IV, VI and VII). The young Obi-Wan utters his misgivings twice, once each in Eps. I and III. And only once has a droid (C-3PO in Ep. VI) parroted the phrase.


In case anyone was wondering, this is my soapbox re: Blast bugs on spamming non-uniques=

NPE

Disclaimer: ( Apologies in advance to Juice and Spry, and other Vong lovers out there )

Oddly enough, I feel bad when crushing someone with Blast Bugs also. Also feel bad when the factor of crushing is poor dice rolls (Jason understands) or a small mistake on my opponents part. But I do it anyway - in competion.

Negative Play Experience

EPE Dunno. Excruciating Play Experience?

16 dudes ( Spry's Vong team ), most that are cloaked, some with speed 8, some that are worth no pts, all with Force Immunity btw ( advantages offensively and defensively ), that can do 20 dmg unavoidable ( 16 x 20 = 320 dmg ), from 8 range , that there is no save for, requiring no rolling by initiator or responder, therefore no luck factor, and no fun factor, is just plain stupid!

Thank you Disney! Let's not see these guys again in our lifetimes, please

Or a save 16 for the Blast Bugs. Then there is a chance of dodging (or them missing). Still like the damage burning holes in armor and shields though.

+1.

Yeah, at our LGS, we banned the Vong awhile back ( except at competition ), after the the Lah warrior, Domain Shai Subaltern, and Yun-Ne'Shel Priest combination, was established. Boy, did it ever get worse...............when will the madness end

"Eminance Harrar was known to cackle on the battlefield, uttering how Jedi's suck"

I do really enjoy playing vong and think they have a unique roll tempering the crazy force powers out there. And I hear the bit about blast bugs but really direct damage has been a thing way before blast bugs. How about the similar clone trooper with flamethrower or Zabrak? It's either auto 40 or auto 20 at 6 (can't be disrupted for the latter) and plenty of nasty ways to boost them up. Or take it way back to sith witches with Palpatine, plenty of other examples but it's always been a thing and at least blast bugs, while unstoppable, is just to one character and can't be overloaded like many others. My only tournament experience with them was when one player brought the trademark blast bug build to our regional three years ago and I crushed him with a republic Krell reserves team, just brought in strafers and made short work of the bug chuckers. I think direct damage can be annoying but it does have a place and does have some killer counters in the form of strafe.Though how about a new type of YVH mouse droid that causes blast bugs to backfire?

Now don't scare everyone!



Here's some REAL inside info on vset 14 Vong. It is almost all UNIQUE VONG focused. Even our non-unique Vong pieces support the UNIQUE VONG. Nothing to help the Lah warriors or the subcommander at all, and 2 Vong pieces specifically COUNTER one of the Sun-Ne'shel Priest's abilities, so that he becomes a little more reasonable.


We are excited to try and usher in an era where something other than a non-unique Vong Swarm can compete. Nom-Bombs, Spit poison swarms, blast bug swarms, peace brigade soldiers (which shouldn't even be Vong) and Lah warrior swarms have been all there is at the top tables for some time.

How about seeing some unique Vong hitting the tables? Without blast bugs or avoid defeat?

We look forward to seeing this happen.
