HotE has been out for a week now. While we still have plenty of time to dive into this really innovative campaign and awesome components (I'm pretty much done painting, already!), I think we may be seeing something coming down the pipeline soon.

Just to pass the time and focus our speculation a little bit, I figured I was curious what you guys expect next. Since these forums annoyingly don't have built-in polls, I created one. Just 2 easy questions about what we expect next and when we expect it to be announced. It'd be interesting to see what you guys thing! You can check out the survey here .

Anyway, feel free to speculate on this thread as well. I know it might seem early, but after all, it's been a long time since we've gone much longer than a few weeks with no wave in the pipeline.

Honestly, I think there is plenty of material left to pull from for IA.

I still expect an Endor expansion at some point, as Scout Troopers and Ewoks are two of the easiest to implement groups of figures remaining.

Beyond that, some iconic figures in the OT are still missing and would expect those to show up.

Also, with even more Rebels art in the recent HotE cards, I expect more characters from the show to appear very soon.

I want a rebels expansion Where you play the cast of the tv show in the campaign and then try to recruit some mandalorians to your side.

The app.
Endor with Inferno Squad stuff.
Rogue One stuff.
Aaaaand... tons of stuff down the line

I think there's room for the ability to make custom campaigns.

Something like that will probably be a plastic-less box, filled with cards, and new tiles. With something like this, I'd like to see about 12 to 15 new maps, and a number of scenarios that can be played separately or the parameters for creating our own campaigns. We already have enough side missions, but a few more would be cool (Imagine a side mission where the reward was using Jyn).

Fix for Boba and RGC ?

By the way, here is my version of elite Scout Trooper :

*Focused

*Ambush

I think the Scout Trooper would have a White Dice for Defense; and their attack of Blue-Blue would be a special move: Sniper: If the model doesn't move, the attaack can be B-B with +2Acc or +2Boom; those little pistols don't seem to be so great, maybe a GY or even YY, and load the surges like +1wound, +1Acc, Hide, etc.

BB is Mak dice pool (I just realize this) ... a Spy sniper and that a little what is missing in the empire: long range operator. Rebel have eRangers and Scum have HK & weekway.
They are not are hitter, but stay competive. The focus granted at the first round represent there ability to surprise the enemy.
GY and YY is close from blaise and I want to make them more different. Agree on the fact the small pistol use by bike's pilot is a GY Attack. But Scout have also other equipement.

Defense dice : The protection is more to be out of range with the Hide (and trooper roll black ... always )

Regular version :

Regular version :

I like the regulars version of ambush much more than the elites. Also I'd just swap Vanguard on the Elites to just add focus. Or what about the movement and then a bonus of some kind of they take a shot on the first round of the game. Also it's really weird that the regulars don't roll any blues at all.

Other than that I love the idea and the picture is amazing. Can't wait to get some of these bad boys!

Some other Hard hitting guys we might see comming ! Trooper + hunter

I could finally create the "Ewok Horde" mode my friend I joked about one boozy game night

I'll post the final results next week, but it seems like the general consensus to both questions right now is

Deathtrooper:

-> Do Absolutely nothing

-->--> Kill a wounded unique character as long as that character has been in your line of sight for a minimum of three rounds

~ Like, are you a droid or a person?

~~ What did you say? Are you speaking?

pft, everyone knows death troopers are living humanoids! they just have voice scramblers that only death trooper helmets descramble!

also, if they had any actions it would be:

-> slaughter generic deploments

If hit by an enemy unique attack that did not miss, you are immediately defeated.

I didn't see Rogue One, so I don't know what Death Troopers do, but I imagine, as the joke goes, not much. I read someplace that they are entry level troops if Star Wars was taken more seriously, compared to the regular Stormtroopers who die by the bushel. To me DT's are a typical toy selling gimmick. We'll make them black, then they are much more cooler-er, and we'll put "death" in front of their name. And also, we'll ramp up the keystone cop factor on Stormtroopers, i.e. allowing them to be krotty chopped to death (that's only slight hyperbole), so it makes our new toys look that much better. Star Wars rendered Stormtroopers as a scary threat for about 60 minutes, but then turned them into B-movie mooks after that. Snowtroopers had a glimmer of the precision troops that once where, but that's quickly forgotten on Cloud City, and it all culminates one movie later with the most gawdawful premise of all, that an entire Legion (4800 men in Roman terms) of the Empire's "best troops"; space aged armored warriors (not a Death Trooper among them) can be slaughtered by stone-aged Teddy Bears. Rogue One should have restored the Stormtroopers as a dangerous threat, but Disney needs more toy ideas.

Like modern warriors, most have two channel encrypted radios that work on very low audible emissions, in order to communicate among themselves, but they are still capable of screaming orders if they need too.

The forest moon of Endor is chock a block with incrediblebly powerful monsters. And who is the apex predator of that world? Your so called “teddy bears”. They are the honey badgers of that forest moon and they don’t give a care.

Anyone who played SW galaxies knows how tough an Ewok is. They eat blaster bolts for breakfast.

My guess was that the app comes next with some kind of box release that facilitates its features. I really hope all existing and future box campaigns and quests are integrated into the app.

What else could we get? These are my thoughts:

Rogue One Box

Heroes : Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, K-2SO

Villains : 6x Coastal Defender Stormtroopers (Shoretroopers), 4 Partisan Fighters, TX-225A Occupier Tank

Rogue One Blister Wave

Director Krennic

Deathtrooper 3-pack

Benthic "Two Tubes"

Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus duo pack

Rebels Box

Heroes : Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren

Villains : Alt. sculpt Stormtroopers? Imperial Gunners? Mining Guild Mercenaries?

Rebels Blister Wave

Garazeb Orrelios

Mandalorian Fighters 2-pack (w/ Boba Fett fix)

Admiral Thrawn

Endor Box

Heroes : 3 new characters

Villains : 6x Scout Troopers,

Endor Blister Wave

??

Endor is small box with 6 scout and 4 Ewok with Ewok hero and Rebel scout hero. AT-ST fix.

Ewok are villains in early campaign missions and then help out In later missions if optional objectives are met.

And an opportunity for 4-LOM & Zuckuss duo pack as the Scum villains?

PLEASE

Was talking to a friend of mine today, Zuckuss coud be a Hunter/Force user/Spy unit, since he was a force sensitive and one of the best trackers on the galaxy.

Be nice for Maul to have another mercenary force user buddy!

There is two traits that haven't be buff a little : Guardian and Spy

Thinking the first one is the next inline to be up (Royal guard champion ?)
Spy => Kallus ? Rebel caracters that appear quite a lot in the first saisons

Interesting way to make it work. My favourite is a campaign to steal the DS2 plans (which could involve Endor anyway) but helping the Bothans. Rogue One covers the story of DS1, and the only hint at the SS2 plans come from a single sentence from Mon Mothma. It's a really rich vein for a story and coukd mirror R1 a bit but not force players to replay the R1 movie.

I don't know what to expect now, but I want ewoks as the first group of 4 units (regular 2 points each, elite 3 points each). Of course a ewok glider and a ewok catapult. So I would like to see a Endor box, maybe small because of the cycle. With some blisters to complete it. But please don't introduce a new AT-ST, we don't need more!
