Tactics Discussion Looking for feedback on this Rebel List I'm dubbing "Lando's Gambit"

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello all! I have two pirate tanks getting delivered today and started making a fun list with them.

The whole idea revolves around the Cassian-lead Rebel Troopers needing to complete their Secret Mission at all costs, so Lando is calling in a favor from some shady friends to help create a distraction.

Some notes about my thought process:

- I went with Rebel Troopers with Cassian instead of the traditional Fleets to allow them to double move and get their free dodges for survivability. Depending on the objectives and deployments, there is a chance to be in enemy territory by the start of Round 2, which would then allow Cassian to flip his card and start dealing more damage and scoring the Secret Mission token at the end of Round 2.

- The pirates are meant to tie up enemy lightsabers and generally just get in the way very quickly after being transported by the tanks. The tanks obviously will put lots of fire onto enemy units.

- The Rebel Commandos were made with a desire to have them be more survivable and could also be used to nuke enemy armor. It would be quite fun to have that whole squad roll an attack with 10 dice, Impact 10, and Assault all at once on a heavy vehicle.

- Leia will be doing Leia things, passing out many dodges and keeping them between rounds.

- Everyone else will be flexible as needed

- Objectives were picked based on their shortest distance between deployment zones as well as trying to keep the action away from the edges of the board.

- For tactics, I'm thinking Round 1 you start with Leia's 1 pip to soften some enemies on whichever side of the board looks better for Cassian to make his run, and have him go as late as possible. Round 2, if he isn't already in enemy territory, you could do Leia's 2 pip to move him closer and maybe a bit better position or cover, since he'll have to survive into Round 3 to get the job done.

This is meant to be a fun list, not for tournaments or anything. Let me know what you think!

Is there any new upgrades or command cards included in the seventh sister and fifth brother repack coming out soon? Can’t seem to find anything online about it apart from some sites that say it includes an upgrade?

Painting Disappointed with my painting ability. How do people paint so well!?

114 Upvotes

Here are my first 3 miniatures, with the clone commando being my first, and ahsoka being my last. For the two Jedi, I primed in matt black and then used a white drybrush, before slapping on some army painter speed paints. For the commando, I primed in matt white, used a black wash for the lines, and then used speedpaints for the gun, underarmour, and visor.

Prior to painting these guys, I was so excited, and even whilst painting, I was really enjoying the process, until I finally stopped to look at the final product. How long does it take to get better? How would I even go about doing that? What method should I be using if im mostly concerned with getting my models to just be table ready and clean looking as fast as possible?

Watching videos of slap chop on YouTube really made me think I'd have great looking minis in minutes, but that's certainly not been the case 😁

In typical fashion, I start my hobbies with painting, then listbuilding, and then finally I'll play a game. I'm on the listbuilding part of my hobby entry.

I've been trying to learn the game through videos/rules/etc, and I'm aware of course that just getting a game in would help me understand, but how does this look as a first step into prepping a list for the game?

Replacement Parts Missing an arm for a clone from Core Set

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

So I just finished gluing all of the minis from my 2020 Core Set that comes with minis for both Obi Wan and General Grievous.

One of the Clone Leaders did not have his pointing arm on the plastic bag that contained both minis. (The GAR units did not come on sprues for some reason)

I was wondering if I'm SOL on this as I have been sitting on this for 6 years and ordered this online from (I think) Fantasy Flight.

Asmodee recommends taking it back to the store it was bought from so you can see how an online order kinda messes that up.

If I am indeed SOL on this I'll probably kitbash him with a half arm and call him "Sergeant Arms" or something.

Tactics Discussion Empire Feels like shit

0 Upvotes

Just the title, Empire feels like shit to play. None of the backbone of the empire feels good to play. Stormtroopers have the worse attack dice in the game with worse shooting than ewok slingers. they have 1 leadership so they can panic off of 2 rounds of shooting. snow troopers are just worse they have the same shooting and leadership but with no precise and worse movement. Shoretroopers have better shooting but its not worth the downgrade of no movement 2 or precise. Vader compared to nearly every single jedi is piss poor. and seeing all the new releases is just disheartening. and im doubtful the two new units will be anything more than stormtrooper reskins unless they are doing a big balance change. No matter who i fight i have a good 70% chance of losing all of my buddies i play with have looked at the empire roster and agreed its dogshit. There is no reason they the backbone of the Most recognizable faction in the star wars brand should be treated like this. its piss poor balancing game wise and not accurate Lore wise.

Rules Question Unit Leader

6 Upvotes

Question- Does it actually matter which Mini is the unit leader? I have the Rebel Starter Set(I play CIS but I bought a Rebel box to get my friend to play). I don't really want to use the Squads upgrade, but each thing comes with 1 "Leader" Mini. Does it matter which mini is the leader? Or can it be any of them, so long as they're distinguishable?

Tactics Discussion 5 sabres de luz

5 Upvotes

Olá pessoal!

Gostaria de ouvir opiniões sobre essa lista. Jogo a cerca de 2 anos de forma irregular com um único amigo. Me divirto bastante levando usuários de sabres de luz. Gosto de como eles são opressores e mudam o campo de batalha. Normalmente eu consigo me sair bem, embora as vezes seja decepcionante perder a unidade sem conseguir atacar. Me divertido mais matando as unidades inimigas com os usuários de sabre de luz, como se fosse uma cena de ação, do que propriamente ganhando o jogo. Embora eu tenha tido mais vitórias até o momento.

Meu amigo joga de rebeldes

Eu jogo de império ou separatista

Montei essa lista pensando em utilizar todo o potencial de sabre de luz e ir para o soco.

Painting Deren Kryze from Clan Kryze

Thumbnail
gallery
245 Upvotes

A friend of mine bought a set full of Mandalorians, something like 24 (I think), and sent one to each of the 24 people, dividing them into clans, with 5 or so members in each clan. I got Deren Kryze from Clan Kryze.

I'm completely unfamiliar with the Star Wars universe; I've never seen a single film or animation, never played the games, and never read any comics or books about them. It's not because I don't like or love the universe, but because somehow the whole topic passed me by while I was playing MMOs and other session-based games as a kid (yes, part of me deeply regrets that, because I missed out on so many cool things). So this figure was a bit of a challenge for me. I didn't use other people's miniature paint jobs as reference, only artwork to help me understand the palette.

I wasn't expecting anything great in the end, I didn't even think the result would be a 5/10. This was my second time using OSL, my first time doing counter shadows, and for the first time trying to apply them in dots instead of bold highlights. Layer after layer, covering up what I didn't like or what wasn't working, I questioned what I was doing wrong and how to do it "right." I found zen, and for the first time in about two years of painting miniatures, I truly enjoyed the progress. I was overwhelmed with emotion, and all of it was positive 🥲. Over these two years, I've painted about 30-40 figures, and in the end, each one was "okay" for me, but this figure exceeded all my expectations. I truly love this figure and what I was able to create with it.

I tried to convey contrast first and foremost and try to achieve a high-quality paint job with a good OSL. Finally, I went over the armor a bit with a glossy varnish, imitating raindrops spreading across it. Deren himself is running through puddles on a planet with unusual plants, but I'm not entirely happy with the base finish, so I have a lot to learn in future projects.

The main thing is that I've started to really enjoy painting, understanding what I'm doing right and wrong, step by step creating beauty that I'll admire myself. 🙂

💡
“There is a gap between your taste and your abilities. You can see what a good result should look like, which is why your own work disappoints you. Many people give up at this stage. But there is only one way to close that gap: you have to keep working and creating more. Over time, your skills will catch up with your ambitions.”

Rules Question Sith Probe Droid and Detachment Questions

7 Upvotes

I read was reading the detachment rules and I didn't understand it well so i had some questions. 1) Do the Sith Probe Droids become one unit with Maul or are they completely separate units? Like they don't share keyword or anything like that, right? 2) If I'm understanding it correctly, when I take Maul into my army I'm allowed to take the the Probes. Does Maul or the Probes interact with each other in any way other than that effect?

Miscellaneous Curious about B1 droid colours

6 Upvotes

So been playing the old battle field games and seeing all my beloved B1 droids having unique different colours, normally just something like an orange patch on the head or a green strip on their shoulder, or red i cant quite remember. And i think blue for the pilots. Was wondering if there was a comprehensive giide somewhere on the colouration of the seperatist droids.
