The Hired Guns figure pack has an interesting Skirmish Upgrade attachment:





There doesn't seem to be any restriction to "small figures". Theoretically you could attach this to a Nexu (or even a Bantha Rider when it comes out!) which would drastically increase the "blast radius" when you're defeated since the figure is larger.

I'm not missing something am I? Seems like a pretty cool and unique interaction. A suicidal Nexu list might be kind of fun.

I don't see why you can't do that. Unless the 1st sentence where it says "figure in this group" and since Nexu are a single model and not a group.

I think single figures are still considered to be in a group of 1.

Never thought of it that way thanks for clearing that up.

A deployment card is a group, no matter how many models it contains

Mathematically speaking, you can potentially maximize your damage upon 16 spaces if you put this on a group with 2 units. A Nexu caps out at 12.

I don't know how to read. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.

PEW PEW!

The second unit doesn't increase the radius. At-st would max at 20 spaces including the ones it occupied. However... If a second figure was adjacent to the defeated figure, and the damage from the blast killed IT, then this would trigger a second time! (Might require a second upgrade on a different group?)

Are you suggesting that each figure would trigger the ability? The card is depleted the first time it is used.

I was suggesting that. But you see, I went to public school, a state university and I don't know how to read very well. So you can ignore my previous post. We're all fine here now. How are you?

The upgrade is not unique, so you can slap it onto 2 banthas if you want to

It might actually be a counter to some melee units.

Not really a counter, as the dominant melee group right now has Reach

I don't see why you can't do that. Unless the 1st sentence where it says "figure in this group" and since Nexu are a single model and not a group.

I think single figures are still considered to be in a group of 1.

This is reinforced by the fact that all Deployment cards have a "Group Limit" Indicator (LtP pg 11) even if it is just 1 bar.

[Last Resort is] Not really a counter [against melee units], as the dominant melee group right now has Reach

First Imperial Guard:

"Dave! Watch out! Some crazy Hutt has secured a thermal detonator to that Nexu! As soon as you kill it, that d*mned thing will explode!"

Second Imperial Guard:
"Oh no worries, Bill! That thermal detonator has a blast range of about three feet. With my six-foot force pike, I can safely kill it and stay out of range! But thanks for thinking of me, dude."

Kinda takes the shine off the Jabba's palace scene, in which Leia/Boushh pulls out a thermal detonator and everyone in the room fills their pants. If only they knew thy could step three feet back...

Can you have 1 Nexu carrying 4 Last Resort's?

That would be a pretty crazy explosion!

That's still a hot idea. Too bad its a skirmish upgrade, as "suicide nexu" screams imperial trick.

Hired Guns Rules:

"Each Deployment card may have only one "Attachment".

That would be crazy though.
