Are there any pictures of this minis out now?

Yep! There's a second article on just those figure packs

Here you go...

Oh thanks! : D

This wave will be nearly as awesome as the Jabbas Realm wave. An the new Wookie looks also awesome! Love it!

Is it a wookie?

edit; yes it is. The goggles threw me off

So I love that this isn't Endor (I dislike the presence of Palpatine but I'll live with it, I may headcanon that it's a double).

Ko-Tun makes Saska really sad, her tokens are baseline distributed better than Saska's are with her reward card and one of her four xp cards. Interestingly stockpile doesn't say that it replaces the normal effects of interacting with the crate (although I expect it's intended to). Her skirmish version seems a tad under tuned compared with the ally/villain packs of the wave (unless you get massive value from dead precise which is meta dependent).

I like Jarrod being a companion based character but I hope he gets some serious defense boosts in his class deck for him to be a melee hero with 10 health.

Wookies are only supposed to be endemic to Kashyyk right? It bugs me that they get so much representation in Star Wars media, they should be rare, not the first species other than humans to have 2 heroes representing them (before even a single zabrak or duros and at the same time as we get half a droid hero after the first). /Rant

It says 13 non-hero figures: that means 2 clawdite, the At-DP, 6 of either the troopers or the sentry droids (I'd guess the troopers) and 4 of the other.

I'm fascinated to see what the clawdite can do looking at the text in the photos from worlds it looks like they have a list of passive buffs they can have one of at a time.

im surprised Emperor is not like a Jabba for the empire. literally him just sitting in his chair master manipulator. he is going to be in the fray a bit zapping dudes.

May 5th is the day of the Sith.

So it would seem. Fitting for the Sith indeed. Always striking just when you thought they were done for good...

Can't wait to try this list for Skirmish:

Vader (With New Upgrade) [13]

Emperor [8]

Grand Inquisitor [9]

Temp. Alliance [1]

Maul [8]

Zillo [1]

= 40.

I've only played a couple of campaigns of Descent, what's great about SoN that you're hoping to see in IA? Trying to avoid spoilers for those who might want to play SoN, naturally... Thanks!

SoN introduced a lot of new elements that were really interesting to play with. The mission design was better, the story was more engaging, the monsters were intriguing and some of the cards and tokens really changed how the game played. Often the overlord would reveal one of three tokens about midway that changed how the mission played, making for great replayability. In addition to all this, there were a great amount of new tiles and the campaign mainly used those.

With 12 figures after the walker I would bet that we have four of each two deployments of two, single figure deployments we get three figures so I guess it could be six and two lots of three?

I'm thinking

1 walker

2 shapeshifters

6 riot troopers

4 sentry droids

The Clawdites are single-figure groups as shown in the component picture, and all single-figure groups have been 3 groups so far.

Riot Troopers and Sentry Droids are most probably 2-figure groups. With two of those each, 3 Clawdites, AT-DP, and 3 heroes my math comes to 15. So, either there's some surprise left, or I or FFG has counted wrong.

I think I saw a fourth clawdite somewhere.

Huh... maybe it's the first time a single figure deployment only has two?

That would be one of the potential surprises!

(Oops, it's not a surprise anymore if we expect it.)

Four clawdites figures shown here, plus the riot troopers do come in groups of two, as seen on the regular deployment card

Yeah, the Worlds component spread (e.g. Vader's Finest in facebook) seems to have 4 Clawdites. They seem to have the same pose though, a different one would've been nice.

Ya like JR, looks like its 1 massive with 3 groups of 2 small figures.

But the clawdites are single figure deployments, right?

thats unusual... 4 figures for a single figure deployment

Buddy pointed this out: Fringe case, but if Maul is defeated before he activates, you can exhaust him with Change of plans to hold the points, and potentially exhaust him again with Take initiative. Interesting.

But in the time he is not active and has no heal...he is dead

That's true, But your opponent can't score seven points. That's a huge deal. He's also a great figure for upgrades, because it holds into more points.

Your right clawdite card we can see looks like single figure deployment but its odd card because the health is in the middle.

Looking over all the contents, looks like they've made an entire wave that I will not be buying. My wallet thanks the design team.

So, four clawdite figures. So either it comes with 3 normal and 1 elite or 2 normal and 2 elite (deployment cards) or the extra miniatures are not for the purpose of deployment cards (these are shapeshifters after all, there could be shenanigans).
