January 25. This is the date I am most excited for. This is the day I can buy my first Jumpmaster 5000. No, this is not an 80s workout video, this is X-Wing . . . Never heard of it? It is played by Geeks. Aw well. Anyways, This machine. is Dengar's.


"Who?"

. . . "No wisecracks."

Dengar is the guy, with the weird hood. They are coming out with an expansion. FINALLY. It's going to be great.

There it is, the expansion of awesome. I am so happy . . . And, here is Dengar.

What. A. Boss. NINE PS, HELLO! TWO TORPEDOES, HELLO! SALVAGED ASTROMECH, HELLO! This is going to be good!! He has 360 as well, which is pretty boss. No boost, but nothing Engine Upgrade can't fix. His effect is great, for a pretty cheap cost, (Just compare it to the Tie Defender.) He also has a title card.

At first I was like . . . What the hell kinda crap is this? Then I looked closer. For 45 points, you can have Dengar with 3 attack right? But for 46 points, you get this joke,

OHHH, Han, you just got burned. You might not only shoot first man, cause Dengar, is kinda pissed about what you did many years ago. Anyways, back to Dengar. Dengar is pretty cool, in so many ways. I would like to add, that there are 7 shields in the picture, but he only gets 4. Weird . . . He gets a FRICKEN GONK DROID. Which probably gives extra shields, cause Gonks are like batteries on legs. He has a white S-Loop, which is going to be so frigen annoying. And, there is a lot of talk about whether or not he is going to have a unbalanced dial. Meaning some green moves on 1 side, but not necessarily on the other. Don't forget, he has Boba as a crew member. I love it . . . I bet it is going to be sooooo cool. Well, that's enough of me, let's hear from you. Notice anything that I didn't, then comment about it. Think you have an idea of some of the cards, tell me. I love to hear from you.

Sorry for the links, it wouldn't let me add the pictures.

Why do I feel this will be an easier-to-hit version of an Agressor?

Dengar is dead.*

*See Star Wars Issue 12

He's the guy with toilet paper on his face, right?

A better comparison is a higher PS version of Dash. For essentially the same cost. He'll be fantastic.

I call him Dangler because of all the toilet paper he requires.

Man, I really thought people would be more into analyzing this new expansion. Guess I was wrong.

no no, that was the Firespray

Your title should have said, "Let's Talk About Payback."

It's interesting how this is the first large ship with an Astromech slot. Wonder where the Astromech goes on the ship.

I know, it is a salvaged astromech though, so it makes more sense. I mean, Dengar has the Mechs on board, that is how he does his thing. When this ships comes out, what do you guys think about Dengar + Starviper?

No dial. Meaningful analysis pretty much requires this, especially in the case of this ship.

The coolest thing about this expansion so far, is that; he has a 2 white S-Loop, which kind of recycles the Tie-Defender Idea, which is pretty cool. And it also has 7 shields, which probably means the "GONK" Will give him more shields.

'S gonna be awesome.

Salvaged Astromechs upgrades could use a few new droids.

Can't wait to combine Illicits and Salvaged Astromechs, finally.

Combos that I think will be good (though some of that depends on the dial):

Predator+K4 droid+R4-B11

This one assumes the greens are at least decent on the ship, but the combo is simple. Do a green, get a target lock. Use predator for maximum damage, then use R4-B11 to minimize defense.

Push the Limit+K4 droid+Unhinged Astro+Engine Upgrade

This is Dengar doing his best Dash impression. Take any 2 actions to gain a stress, and clear it in the following turn for a free target lock. Without knowing the dial, it's hard to say how much the unhinged droid will add, but I think it's safe to assume an additional 2-3 greens.

Crack Shot+Advanced Protons+Extra Munitions+Glitterstim

Yes this is a 9 point 1 shot, but what a shot! With 5 nearly guaranteed hits, and Crack Shot to drive it home, he'll absolutely wreck things. EM isn't necessary, but if you're already shelling out for APTs, you might as well get another for 1/3rd the cost. This combo doesn't include a droid or crew but the R4-B11+K4 combo above makes this all the more deadly.

R4 Agromech+Recon Specialist

Spend a focus, gain a target lock. A trick so nice you can pull it twice! Dengar can shoot twice a turn if he's jousting and this combo gives him maximum dice modifying on both.

Opportunist+Gunner+Unhinged Astro

This combo focuses on his jousting power. Shoot once and if it doesn't hit, shoot again. If they don't have tokens, power up the shot. However, if you're planning on firing a reactionary shot do NOT gunner on your first attack because it prevents further attacks. Hold the gunner for the reaction shot.

Wired+Bossk+R4-B11

Not sure this is a great combo, but it is a fun one. Another jousting combo, Bossk ensures that if you ever miss, it's not for nothing. With his tyrannosaurus-rage you'll get a free focus and TL. Then on your reactionary shot, you can use focus for defense, Wired for re-rolls and the TL to force damage through.

I'm just trying to figure out where you got January 25th as a date you would be able to buy this expansion. Nothing is set in stone yet for release.

Can Dengar fire his reactionary shot if he gunnerred his normal attack?

Nope! Shoulda read the card instead of going from memory. I'll edit my post.

He's the guy with toilet paper on his face, right?

And thank you for the spit-take of my morning tea... That hit me right in the funny gland.
