Bounty Hunting

By Pwmf, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

I can't be tye first to notice that the four character bounty hunters come to exactly 40 points, Boba, IG88, Dengar and Bossk not going to work well four activations and IG88 is over priced, but it would be fun and a very thematic list. Anyone else come up with daft lists they are going to run for the hell of it?

IG might be overcosted, but he's a hell of a figure when played correctly.

Here, the hunters can go up against this list:

Chewbacca
Han Solo
Luke Skywalker
Gideon Argus

Heroic Effort

Who wins in this situation? Might be a close fight but I'm leaning towards the bounty hunters.

I like the looks of this battle!

Very themed and I bet it would be a blast. When I get the new dudes, I'll have to convince my daughter to try this scenario.

I played that list against 3 different lists one evening (I had the hunters), it went like this:

VS Chewie/C3P0/Luke/Han/Heroic Effort/Balance of the Force

We split, I sent my bossk/dengar into the area with a couple terminals while Boba/IG went to the area with the moving tokens (nelvannian war zone). Eventually Dengar came around the backside and got C3P0, but IG was taken out fairly quick. Then Boba fell, and it was all over.

VS Boba/2x Trandoshan Hunters/Devious Scheme/Temp ALliance/Leia/Gideon

Played a random map, and again I was taken out pretty quick (the map from the core set where you have to control the points on the shuttle). Bossk or Dengar fall quickly, and once they do its pretty over. Lack of activations to control terminals really hurts this list.

Vs same list, other mission of Nelvaniaan war zone (broken droids): I was able to pull out a win! I sent Boba to get a droid, everyone else went to terminals. I was able to put some massive damage (one shot) trandoshan hunters with Bossk and Dengar with focus, or other cards. In the end I had Bossk and Boba, he had Boba and had turned in 2 droids. Couldn't win without a kill and two is better than one. I got a win!

Super fun list, very thematic, but just can't draw enough cards to help out the lack of activations. I might pitch Dengar and put in some smugglers, or some other way to get to terminals. Not a competitive list but dang its a riot to play!

I know it's not thematic, but for 6 points (so you'll have one point left) you can do the old Temp Alliance/Gideon/C-3PO which gives you two activations and two ways of focusing your heavy damage dealers.
