Imperial Assault: Return to Hoth

By patox, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Holy Crap!

Droid Hero!

Mon Cal Hero

Wampas!

Imperial speeder tank!

Snow troopers!

I don't know who the guys on the left are, but I'm sure they are awesome too!

Know what I like? Some companies would have made sure they got an absolutely perfect model to show of, even if it wasn't representative of what customers should expect, but not FFG, they're happy to show us with with a massively bent cannon! :)

Authentic Battle DAMAGE!

Based on other stuff, I am looking forward to once they are done with the movie heroes, getting the Rebels characters.

No, no, that's intentional. Fire at the guy to the left of your position.

Is it me, or three guys on the left look like Assasin droids from old republic?

Now you mention it, they kinda do. HK-50s, you mean?

I think you nailed it. Well done!

Its puny meatbag time :D

So what else do we expect and/or want to see on the tiles?

For interiors I'm thinking tiles that can either be Echo Base or Rebel ships.

I'm guessing as well as outside snow environments we'll also get caves (Wampa layers), which I suppose would also be considered outdoors, but I think would be indoors.

Overall, I'm dissapointed from what we've seen. It seems like all we'll be seeing is stuff from the movies, aka stuff we've already seen. The hover tank though gives some hope as that definitely did not appear in any of the movies and is from Star Wars video games (I believe Battlefront was the first appearance.)

A medical droid with a gun? Really? Might as well give 3PO a blaster while they're at it. I'm all for a droid hero... but not a medical droid. The other heroes look cool though. Most of these imperial figures are probably going to have Habitat: Snow which severely limits their usefulness in non-hoth campaigns.

Obviously though I'm in the minority. I just would rather see more 'general' use characters and tiles than stuff specifically for Hoth/a single climate.

"It seems like all we'll being seeing is stuff from the movies [as if that's a bad thing]" and then the things you complain about are the things that /aren't/ from the movies! Make your mind up! :P

Is that a... 2-1B with a gun?

Looks more like a hypodermic/scanner type thing as seen here. Star%20Wars%20-%20D6%20-%20Droids%20Stat

I'm hoping for snow banks or trenches that can provide ranged defense. Excited for the Wampas. Wished they were just a bit taller though. Love that it's another full campaign.

A medical droid with a gun?

The droid hero's "gun" looks more like a creepy needle thingy than a gun to me. It'll be interesting to see how he integrates with the campaign. He may not even have an attack. Then again, it's not like Gideon ever attacks post Aftermath.

There's a buttload of pictures of the miniatures over in this thread. I'd repost them here but I'm at work and I'm also lazy right now.

Discussion should be kept to this thread though in my opinion.

Goddammit.

They're already scraping the bottom of the barrel if we are getting Dengar.

It's not Dengar we should worry about. 2-1B Medical Droid is in that picture. 2-1B is the true hero of the Galactic Civil War. If it wasn't for 2-1B attaching Luke's new bionic hand and the end of Empire Strikes Back who knows how it could have ended.

The snowtroopers have a surge that is focus, weaken. Do you think that means that they will focus themselves, and then weaken the person they attack? Or apply both conditions to the target? Must be the first one, what an awesome surge ability if it is!

Hell yes, give me a C-3PX mini.

Also: I don't care what the lady front and center on the box cover's official name is, I'm calling her Rule 63 Star Lord. :D

To go with our rule 63 Han solo?

Goddammit.

Screw that, I love Dengar. I want all the ESB bounty hunters, but I'd have like to see Zuckuss and 4LOM before him.

I wonder what the plot of this campaign is. The rebels forgot their dry cleaning back at Echo base and have to go pick it up? But Sorin is there with his fancy new tank and his HK droids?

It says in the pic on the back of the box.

this looks to be a very exciting release

now i desperately want a Bossk to complete the original 4 bounty hunters from ESB. I've refused to paint any of my trandoshan hunters in bossk's standard yellow jump suit because i know he's due to be released eventually

.

Yay, finally Princess Leia!
