*Edit: looks like theyve been temporarily taken down. Potential spoilers?

* 3/5 It's Back! we'll see if they take it down again, because nothing has changed in the IA section.

Thrawn, Death Troopers, and (I think?) Rex are all represented in the swag. Let the rumours swirl!

The text in the article says "Captain Rex" ... very interesting

This is also from the Worlds Prizes article:

Quote

Finally, the World Champion wins The Greatest Prize in Gaming, a chance to interact with the game's developers to inspire the design of a future card… and with all the tactical surprises you can pack into a game of Imperial Assault, the possibilities are nearly endless!

That seems pretty clear evidence Imperial Assault has some way to go yet. Any future card would take a chunk of time to plan and create so at the earliest it would be released in the wave after next. A good sign if nothing else!

something wrong with the link - I can't see any pictures.

Thrawn confirmed!

They took it down for a bit. Unknown reason currently. The whole worlds article

Jeppe saw this somewhere and posted on the boardwars.eu discord chat: "Hello, everyone! We had to briefly take down our article displaying the fantastic prizes on offer for the Star Wars World Championships. We'll have it back up as soon as possible!"

Worlds prizes unposted, lol.

'Cause they spoiled Thrawn!

And none of you took a pic? Boo! Lol

This pic's been floating around, apparently someone took a screenshot before it was taken down

I've been toying around with Death Troopers in my post here, can't wait to see how it'll actually turn out

Just for reference, what did previous world winner mats have as the characters?

Luckily Crabbok ran through the images in his latest Youtube vid. May want to check there.

BACK TO BESPIN ! YEAH Murne and Davith and spies and maybe something that actually makes Hide work besides Weequay.

Please tell me someone got a screen grab of what was posted please?

this guy is my hero.

So, no actual information about new cards, packs or boxes.

What we do see is art for Thrawn and Rex, which could possibly indicate that they will be upcoming figures in some way.

Unless that Rex art is in some other game, which I don't think it is, its indicative of him being added to IA

Rebels box incoming!

Hope it is a Rebels Core Box.

I sorta doubt it. (the core aspect)

What I expect is a Lothal centric campaign (hopefully a large campaign, following the trend set by HotE)

It'll be nice to see Ezra, Zeb, Sabine & Kanan join Hera & Chopper.

Villains in Kallus and Thrawn. Death Troopers probably.

From the new art we should probably expect a Rex too...

what the empire needs is low cost activations and something to focus, you just can't compete with Rebel and Scum 3-5 cost uniques with incredible value.

Focus would break the empire. I think they just need a way to get more card draw to further exploit zillo.

Besides that, you’ve already got Sorin ?

On the contrary, I think the Empire needs a way to deal with Rebels/Mercenary's Focus but giving Empire Focus is going to make them too OP. I'd much prefer an Imperial ability to strip away Focus or doing some sort of mass-condition swap. Oh you're going to focus up eWeequays and everyone else on Round 1 using Rebel Care Package, trying to one-shot Terro? Imagine if suddenly there's an ability to turn them all into Stun/Weaken. Would you still Focus up?

If we continuously buff up unit's firepower it won't be long until (and it's already happening) we can one-shot figures with 8-15HP

Yeah Empire definitely doesn't need Focus. But I do agree about the part of needing good, cheap activations besides Officers. 000 is ok but not nearly as good of an investment of 4 pts as Greedo or Hera.
