Star Wars Miniatures: Official Discussion (Wish lists, team builds, general discussion)

By jove, you're right! Just like Obi-on-Boga's "Wall Climber" ability!

Would be nasty with momentum...

It does appear that way, but we'll get a confirmation on the WOTC boards.

Just been browsing some info on the WOTC boards. Apparently, the three Jedi Classes (Guardian, Consular and Sentinel) in the game are inspired by KOTOR 2 NPCs. The Guardian is Atris (or handmaiden, I'm not sure); the Sentinel is Visas and the Consular, whom I previewed last page, is Disciple.

Checkit!

zomg!!!

5 more days...

 

The Padawan - that's not Lucas' kid, is it?

E_S

 

Here's a scan of the new rules summary, if you're interested.

 

I got 2 cases + a booster, and have 57/60 minis. I'm missing Bastila, Luke and Jacen - 3 of the 4 I desperately wanted (Got Corran, he's awesome!).

The cases are split between 4 VR clusters; so you should be able to get a full set with cases A, B and C and have rares to trade (for what I don't know).

E_S

 

I couldn't technically afford it either; I love VISA.

The VR Clusters are as follows:

Bastila Shan
Darth Malak
Luke Skywalker, Young Jedi
Jacen Solo

Ulic Quel-Droma
Yoda of Dagobah
Jaina Solo
HK-47

Darth Bane
Exar Kun
Vader
Darth Nihilus

You'll get 1 of those 3 sets as VRs in your case.

E_S

 

You know, this set would have been the prime time to bring in Vergere. I'm sure she would have had some interesting commander effects or Force powers.

But I guess these *awesome* clones will be just as good.

 

I played this squad last night:

General Windu
Mas Amedda
HK-47
Jedi Weapon Master
Republic Commando: Boss
Republic Commando: Sev x 2
Utapau trooper.

ZOMG, Mas's commander effect is broken. Boss shoots, and his CE lets Sev shoot. Then, Sev shoots and gets a second shot thanks to Mace's commander effect.

Plus, General Windu = teh pwn.

E_S

 

I picked up a booster today (I feel so pathetic compared to you, Ender) and I got Ulic as my Very Rare.

I gotta say that I like the sculpts for this set... they don't seem as flimsy as past ones and they have more detail.

 

Ulic is a cool mini, when they paint his mouth right.

Did you get any generic Jedi, RF, or the Republic Commandos?

E_S

 

>>>Did you get any generic Jedi, RF, or the Republic Commandos? <<<

RF as in me RF? I, uh, haven't bought any boosters yet. Procrastinating, I know, I know.

 

I meant RT, not R_F - go buy some RF!

I played in a sealed on the weekend, pulled a second Maul and second Atgar, plus I bought 2 boosters for my friend who played which got an Exar Kun and a Cody. Traded Atgar for Luke on Tauntaun from Universe (now I only need Leia), Cody for a second Corran (I like the character and need no more rares), Maul for a Geonosian Picador on Orray from Clone Strike and Exar Kun for Jacen Solo. I only need Bastila and Luke for COTF to be complete

E_S

 

Nice, Ender...

Yeah, I got Fixer in my first booster... gonna pick up another one sometime tomorrow maybe.

 

Corran, I'm a big fan of - good to play, though pricey, and a good sculpt. Not to mention his synergy with Darth Vader, Sith Lord from Rebel Storm, in terms of SW Minis Who Look Like They Ought Be Golfing.

E_S

 

I want a Thon, Arca, Beast-Riders, Rocket Jumpers, etc

 

Jedi Merk;

Bastila gains a commander effect and thus counts as a commander.

Set Gallery is online

I have 58/60 of this set, and have seen the remaining two (Luke and Bastila), so if you've any questions, fire away!
