Bossk Machines thoughts/ideas

By JarJarBot, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

I've recently started to run;

Bossk+Prey on the Weak

Greedo

Hired Guns

rHKs x2

Temp Alliance

Gideon

C-3PO

2-0 so far so not much to go on (beat a twins list and an Inquisitor spy list) and I just wanted to get some feedback on the figures and deck. The deck has changed each time and I forget the current build. I know it contains;

Bossk card

Greedo card

Take Initiative

Element of Surprise

Urgency

Jump pack (jet?)

Slippery target x2

And the rest escape me lol. Command card chooses would be most helpful or list tweaks just let me know what you guys think!

Are you planning on picking up Jabba's Realm? Lots of really nice Hunter cards in there. The Jabba pack as well.

-ryanjamal

Definitely. Unfortunately my LGS is kinda small and usually randomly receives new releases. I'm heading to a bigger store next weekend to hopefully grab Jabba then the expansion later.

Before Jabba's Realm, I would go with this:

Army 360 (15/15/40)

=================

[8] Bossk

[1] Prey on the Weak

[8] HK Assassin Droid

[4] Greedo

[4] Hired Gun

[1] Temporary Alliance

[3] Gideon Argus

[2] C-3PO

[1] Devious Scheme

[8] HK Assassin Droid

-------------------

[2] Dirty Trick

[2] Slippery Target

[2] Slippery Target

[2] Trandoshan Terror

[1] Camouflage

[1] Negation

[1] Price on Their Heads

[1] Primary Target

[1] Tough Luck

[1] Hit and Run

[1] Focus

[0] Take Initiative

[0] Opportunistic

[0] Urgency

[0] Wild Attack

In my testing Jabba is very good with Bossk and HKs for his order ability for attack and then retreat to safer position

If I can pick up 2 of the new single figure packs which ones should I chose to help this list more? I'm thinking Jabba as the first one but which other pack? I've been looking at the cards that come with them and each pack seems to offer something to me. Any thoughts?

The big set Jabba's realm and jabba offer the most for this list, the others have some great stuff, but those are the main Merc add-ons. Lots of Hunter and Smuggler cards

I'm definitely grabbing the big set in the near future but today I'm grabbing two of the singles which wil be Jabba and not sure who else yet. They all have some pretty good things in them.

Terro or Jedi Luke are probably the second and third best x-pacs in this wave

I got lucky and mind tricked my girlfriend into letting me get all 4 today lol. Jabbas Realm is next on the list! Now to teak the list and command deck.

So I tried; Jabba, Bossk, Greedo, 2x rHKs, temp alliance 3po+Gideon. Worked well but realized how fragile HKs are when Jedi Luke or focused elite rangers come at you. I'm thinking of swapping out 1 HK group and 3po for a Bantha Rider and beast tamer. Give the enemy a bigger target/distraction plus it'll mess with them a little more. Any thoughts?

P. S. Highlight for me was hitting Jedi Luke for 11 with Greedo then next activation killing him with Greedo Hahahah

11? From Greedo? Even focused and hidden I don't see how he does that to Luke even if he rolls a blank

Maybe with assassinate and other command card help?

-ryanjamal

Blanked defense, he was focused, assassinate, rolled 4 damage 2 surge had Jabbas command card on Luke then Greedo gets +1 damage auto. I believe that was it.

The look on my friends face was great. Then I negated his Take initiative so I could deal the killing blow with Greedo because Luke only had 2 hp left, he took the 3 damage from Jabbas bully action earlier hahah.

Edited by JarJarBot

I guess there must be some disconnect in the relation of your victory, but why assasinate if he only had 2 health left?

He only had 2 health left AFTER the Assassinate, and the next attack was just a regular one.

Thanks for the translate assist Jake, half the time I read these posts and think I don't know my own language (which I may not)

I tend to read and minder stand and then I tend to post and have readers misunderstand me

So besides Greedo just wrecking, which I find hilarious because my friends thought he was useless before I basically put him in all my scum lists, any thoughts on my list change? Swapping C-3PO and 1 set of rHKs for bantha rider and beast tamer?

Gideon + Bantha is a potent combo, and dropping 3po isn't too bad since Gideon and Jabba can hand out most of the focus you'll be needing. The only problem there is that the Bantha shares no traits with the rest of the list, requiring a major rework of the Command Deck. You'll for sure want at least one Jundland Terror and probably Crush, which can cut into the command point hungry Hunter-Smuggler cards.

Yea I was going to tweak the command deck and was thinking about that. I was just trying to think of what to fill the 10 point gap with while using scum or maybe bringing something rebel over? Hmmmm... if only I had the main Jabba expansion.
