Because he's in direct compertision with another pair of great shooters in that range, Dashing Lando and Tw Vigo. When compared to them, he does not quite look as good, easpically when someone has to die to get him started. Most players would probably rather not count on someone dying to get the best out of him.

That being said, I think he's pretty cool. I can see merits in his use, just there are more reliable choices out there for around about the same price, as to make the most of him, you have to put more points in.

Him with Qui-Gon Jin with force spirit would be pretty awesome though. Or with Obi-Force Unleashed to get a better benifit in addition to a force user getting a solid amount of force points and master of the force. Plus Bomo is taking a VR slot that none of the bounty hunters are taking.

I bet Wysten was thinking about getting Qui-Gon to die to boost Bomo. Face it, Jedi Master is there to deal minor damage and die quickly. With Bomo, you're getting the most out of it. And I was thinking of a way to use him... Nice One Wysten.

My thing is that a Rare or a Very Rare needs to be worth the money. Either a great Commander effect, or a beatstick of sorts, and even to a lesser degree- a synergy piece. Bomo is neither a great fighter, nor a commander of sorts. He's a VR with UC stats. That's why I hate, nay, LOATHE him.

Just kidding I don't "hate" the piece. I mean one of my favorite all time pieces is Jag Fel, so my opinion is void...That being said...a piece worth making is worth making AWESOME.

Meanwhile Logray cries in the corner like a little girl

Stealth is decent, but the problem is that he can only deal 10 damage and has 6 attack to start with. Pairing him with other commenders can help migrate that, but the others have the streight up robustness.

Lando can hit somewhat more relaibly and has the benfit of mobile attack to make Stealth less nessiary and Vigo is more condictional then Lando, but is also a note worthy commander nagates that aspect and is able to hurt as much as Lando in his element. They also don't need commander effects to be effective, just commander effects makes them more.

While Bomo in the early game is pretty much restricted to small game such as Uggies and needs commanders to be more reliable, meaning in essence he costs more then his card indicates. Which is a sangicant disadvantage unless you really build the squad that really takes advantage of a aspect of him that the other two lack. Stealth or a charcter death. Vigo see's use often due to his commander effect and Lando is the established stand alone shooter that benfits from most commanders Bomo can benfit from.


I like him, but his uses are slightly more limited in my opinon. Being a VR has a knock on effect on like levels, since rather then pulling something beefy for a VR, like Kir Kalos, you pulled Bomo. People just don't like pulling VR's that are not beefy I guess. When really he's made the bounty hunters easier to get, which is a good thing for keeping them affordable.

And likewise, good points, just I already thought them though really, they all have access to the same support from any faction, it's just a case of which one benfits the most from what. ^^

after reading about what bomo went through, i give him a VR spot out of respect. he may not deserve it on the paper battle field, but he deserves it where it counts.

theres always ugos, they cost only 3 pt

Aye, but having a small base has no functional benfit, it's not like cover saves are improved, just theres no real difference between medium and small base, just a disadvantage for not being the standard medium.

But yeah, thats fair enough. No problems with liking him at all, I like most minis aside from most generic grunts for having so little HP and a lack of transport units. No ability for transport except for the really old rebel cart. Kind of pitiful that transports are so rare when other table top games have used them effectively.

I not read that much into the EU, so I don't really know much about him, burtal stuff though, makes for a good star wars story rather then this Lightside vs Darkside all the time.

Actually, only one (the hot chick, go figure) gets turned into a Rakghoul, one gets captured by Vader, and one died when a deal went south.

I use him in one of my SS Thrawn Swap squads. It's SS Cad, Arica and Bomo. An Amani Scout rushes in and is swapped out for Arica at the end of a turn. Blaster Barrage, win init and Blaster Barrage again. She can take out every commander they have if set up right (potential 80dmg over the two Barrages). After that she serves her purpose and just suicide bombs with Blaster Barrage until dead.

Cad and Bomo come in and clean up. Cad takes out the big pieces and Bomo finishes off the big guys or takes out smaller ones since he's doing 2X 30 dmg with a 14 atk.

If you have a unique that will most likely die - or you need to die - for a squad to work well, then it's hard to find a better 18 point shooter than Bomo.

I HATE BOMO....









...getting the snub. He and R2 astro are a match made in heaven.
