His fighter was last seen in locked in combat with Fenn Rau as he was covering the retreat for his forces. Witnesses say he was taking heavy fire doing his best to avoid Protectorate starfighter but he had trouble keeping up with the superior fighter. Still we hold out hope that the Black Suns ace Pilot will one day return to us.

Hopefully Vectored Thrusters were enough to compensate, but it is unlikely that he was able to afford them over his Glitterstim habit.

Hello!

His fighter was last seen in locked in combat with Fenn Rau as he was covering the retreat for his forces. Witnesses say he was taking heavy fire doing his best to avoid Protectorate starfighter but he had trouble keeping up with the superior fighter. Still we hold out hope that the Black Suns ace Pilot will one day return to us.

Talonbane Cobra + Fenn Rau + Zuckuss. 15 dice at range 1, if you use the fearless title (and I'm right about what it does), you've got up to 18 hits/crits. You could alpha a decimator or ghost (or pretty much any other ship, possibly multiple depending on the targets) off the board before they get to shoot.

Barrel Roll Mod says you're wrong.

Barrel Roll Mod says you're wrong.

Even with Barrel Roll he's probably right. Repositioning is one area that Talonbane lacks, but survivability is the other. And there is no fix for that coming (that we know of).

Who?

, if you use the fearless title (and I'm right about what it does),

Fearless is an EPT?

i can see Talonbane Cobra + Fenn Rau teaming up to be some serious jousters

In the lore he gets killed by a bunch of noobs in Scyk fighters.

Of course he'd been outdone by the Fang.

All depends on what the barrel roll will cost.

even if 0pts its still over costed on him

Actual archival footage of TalonBane Cobra, featured centre and Fenn Rau on the left. Going in to fight the world of order and government, and bring their ideal of absolute lawlessness to fruition.

Talonbane Cobra still have trick up his sleeve over Fenn: Missile Carrier. Used it this passed weekend and he was deadly.

Talonbane Cobra with Crack Shot, Homing Missiles, Glitterstim and Guidance Chips.

That's a 4 dice plus Focus and Target Lock, can change one die result into a crit, that prevent the use of Evade Token and can deny one evade result thanks to Crack Shot. With this loadout, even Soontir can't dodge it. So technically, in a straight up joust between Talonbane and Fenn, if the first shots are fired in range 2-3 (ideally 3 so that Cobra can have 4 dice instead of 2 to defend), Talonbane is pretty much guaranteed to land at least 1 hit, 1 crit (that's if both ship rolled perfectly: highly probable for the HM+GS, not so much for Fenn).

Now granted, I agree that for the price you're generally better with Fenn, and I'm pretty sure that the latter will be one of the staple of my scum builds as soon as he's out, but Talonbane Cobra still have a purpose. You are garanteed that the first time he will attack, he will bring the pain: Range 2-3 with his homing missile, Range 1 with his 5 dice attack. Plus, he have a much better name.

the last I've ever seen of t-bane was the one peak at the card before I stuffed it in binder hell forever

the protectorate won't run him out of business; they'll just hopefully not be DoA

fingers crossed for some mighty scum aces

Wish they would hurry up

and that was the last anyone ever saw of Talonbane Cobra

Who?

He was DOA to begin with.

I would hope he at least has fun frolicking on a farm up north with Punishers and Scyks.

I do hope they come out with something more for the Kihraxz Fighter. It's supposed to be a highly customizable ship. I'd love to see various titles for them that can add things in. I'd love to see one that lets them take an unhinged astromech as one option. There are others they can through out there to make the Kihraxz really an option. Something that boosted it's jousting at R2 would actually be really cool and make it different than the Fang.

I think Vertical Thrusters could be a real fix for the Kihraxz Fighter. It can add in that maneuverability that it's lacking. It's got the 1 sharp turn, which is just awesome. Add in a Barrel Roll and you can almost pivot in place...or even move a little backwards. On a ship with 3 attack dice, that can be pretty powerful.

Fearless could also be a nice add-on for those who can take an EPT. It would improve their jousting efficiency. If these guys come in just a bit cheaper than the Fang Fighter, then it could be a different option. They do have 1 Shield over the Fang, but less movable options and no title.

Even with Fearless and Vertical Thrusters, Cobra TB has less options than Fenn Rau...and no Auto Thrusters. So, I agree that Cobra Talonbane is sub-par in comparison, but hopefully that will change.

I would hope he at least has fun frolicking on a farm up north with Punishers and Scyks.

The Tie Punisher is hardly useless. It's even winning events.

Scyks with Attani Mindlink are also doing well at events.

I heard he was hiding on a desert planet and go only by the name of Bane. Then a young farm boy found him and asked him about Talonbane Cobra. A little lost in his thought, he answered: ''Talonbane Cobra. Talonbane... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.'' He then quickly killed the young boy because he's still not ready to come back...

wait someone actually saw talonbane cobra?

Summer 2015 ?

But Fenn could just run Guidance Chips and Proton Torpedoes as well. Now it just depends on initiative because they aren't both going to Target Lock each other on the opening volley.

But modifications do have symbols. They have a circle with two crossed tools inside. They don't appear on upgrade bars, but they do exist.
