DARTH VADER IS KINDA MEAN - Jodo Cast Skirmish Videos and Extras

By Rogue Dakotan, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Glad you all enjoy these videos! I'll do my best to keep them coming!

And everyone can thank @MythicalMothman for doing the editing work for me this time. I think he did a great job.

Would love to see you guys do this: (we're going to try it in our community soon)

1 Core box only - for figures and figure deployment cards

Upgrades, attachments, and command cards from any expansion.

I'm going to try this for rebels:

Mak, Jyn, Diala, Fenn, Garkhan, Gideon, extra armor, doubt, rebel high command, on a diplomatic mission. Mix in some nice brawler cards and newer any figure cards or maybe sub in heroic effort and put in all of their hero cards?

Why not? Because we can.

Oh man, that's really interesting. Would be fun to try for a one-off match just to do some different listbuilding. Vader with his attachment has got to be a very strong contender compared to everything else in the core... Maybe Trando spam with Under Duress would be fun??

I want to try out those original 6 heros with the benefits of Spectre Cell and see what happens.

Just core figures does sound pretty interesting. Our plans for the next video were either going to be just another regular skirmish with lists we were interested in, or a Star Wars Rebels themed That Theme's Operation Video where we try to include all the characters from Rebels. Possibly have some sort of mechanic where Hondo can flip sides.

New video! Nearly.

It premieres tomorrow! So if you tune in at the premeire time we can all chat together while we watch it together! Otherwise if it's after that time just watch it as normal. ;)

It's up now! Watch at your leisure.

A lot of rules errors and misplays, but darn top-notch production quality. I'm jealous.

Great video. Really fun.

How did Hera have LOS to the Riot Trooper around the 6:20 mark? Maybe I missed something. Doesn't that red square block it, and Sabine blocks her too.

It's possible :

Wow! I stand corrected! Those back corners always get me. Generally when I think there probably isn't line of sight there actually is so I should be more careful.

Also has line of sight from the attacker's ("front") top right corner.

:O I guess I'm better than I realized. Someone in the YT comments pointed that out and I was like yep. Totally shouldn't have had LOS there. My bad. :P

but I was actually a secret genius! :P :P

Probably the last Spectre video before regionals. Then it's going into retirement.

Ok people. Spectre Cell is officially retired.

BUT

I do plan on making a new That Theme's Operational video based around the TV show.

Rebels vs Empire.

Lothal Wastes

Blitz

Special Rules:

  • Hondo Ohnaka is placed in the middle of the map.
  • Each player starts with 5 VPs.
  • At the start of each round, players secretly bid any number of their VPs.
  • Reveal simultaneously. The player who bid highest loses that many VP. Then that player takes control of Hondo Ohnaka
  • Hondo Ohnaka cannot be the target of an attack and does not block line of sight.

Rebel Team:

◄8▪ Kanan Jarrus
◄8▪ Zeb Orrelios
◄8▪ Ahsoka Tano
◄7▪ Ezra Bridger
◄7▪ Sabine Wren
◄7▪ Maul
◄6Loth-cat
◄4▪ Hera Syndulla
◄4Loth-cat
◄3▪ C1-10P
◄1Lie in Ambush
◄1Survivalist
◄1▪ Motivation

That's 65 points.

Empire will need to include: Vader, Thrawn, Inquisitor, AT-DP, Jet Troopers, Death Troopers, Sentry Droids, Stormtroopers, Imperial Officer. Maybe Palpatine if the points really need to be filled.

Command decks will be 20/20 rather than 15/15.

Any thoughts on how to refine this?

is it possible, you will be facing nothing but spectre cell at regionals ?

Had regionals this past weekend! Look forward to a video report coming soonish. I only ended up facing one other spectre cell.

I think there were 4 Spectre Cell's total? I just got lucky and only faced one of them.

I want to make a Force User / Spy list for just a fun game for a future video.

◄8▪ Ahsoka Tano
◄7▪ Ezra Bridger
◄6▪ Davith Elso
◄5▪ Jarrod Kelvin
◄4▪ Hera Syndulla
◄3▪ R2-D2
◄3▪ Gideon Argus
◄2▪ C-3P0
◄2Alliance Smuggler

I'm not looking to make a great list, but preferably one that doesn't just fold immediately.

Ahsoka, Ezra, Davith, and Jarrod feel like they need to be in the list. I haven't tried Jarrod yet. I miss playing with Davith.

How would you build around those four figures?

Just an update. A new Skirmish video (not featuring Spectre Cell) is currently being edited. Look forward to that sometime soon™.

NEW VIDEO IS HERE!
