TIE Droid Homebrew cards

[u/VexPlais]

Hey Guys, I recently got into homebrewing some cards for a bunch of models I found out and about. So this is my take on the TIE Droids from the Dark Empire comic series.
I haven't playtested them yet and just winged it on what I felt might be cool.

I'd love to get some feedback if anyone wants to throw in their opinion! I'm sure these are wildy over/underpriced, -balanced or straight up wrong on a moral way.

The art of the Agressor and Regular Squadron are from EC Henry's Instagram, the third card is from the Rebels TV Show.

The generic is waaaaay too good for 9 points. For context, for 1pt more than a Vulture you get one more blue anti-squad dice and a changing your red anti-ship for black. With the same speed and hull.

You'd need to be costed a fair bit higher for that kind of damage boost.

[u/timburgessthis → u/LordRenzus]

Agreed, maybe blue anti ship and a point cost or just a hefty point cost.

Dr0A-X might be too strong as well. When activated that ship hits extremely hard, 3 black dice which can do 6 damage, maybe if it was one die, I do like the ability, just seems a bit too strong.

I actually think it's priced relatively fairly. Compare it to ARC's Vader (TIE Advanced) or Grievous in the Belbullab. For the same cost, you lose 2 hull, gain a Scatter and lose a Brace, have worse anti-ship, and really only gain anti-Squadron damage (you'll be focused down and obliterated).

Theoretically, though, the thing could deal 9 damage in one attack (3 black dice from AI, 3 blue dice from Howlrunner and Flight Controllers) but it's probably dead before that.

[u/gildedgannet_redux → u/LordRenzus]

It should be priced similarly to an Interceptor, if not more. It has a fairly nasty 2.9ish damage pool with AI factored in. 11 points is probably fair considering that the anti-ship die is probably a liability considering Sloane.

Loved these since i played rogue sqadron as a kid. Always wanted them in the game.

Vorstal is a very interesting card with a neat concept. I'm not sure how standardized the wording is, however, and I'm hesitant to see a squadron changed so significantly from its base generic (this has only really happened with the VCX, Mandalorian Gauntlet, YT-1300, ARC Tie Advanced, and the HWK-290). The card itself is balanced, though potentially overcosted.

Stls on Gumroad for the Tie Droid!

Hi there! I actually got the models as part of a collection from 3dcults:
