I've been seeing people say that any Dengar list should include expert handling on Dengar for maneuverability. I've been running a fearless talent on him that's been working out pretty well so far.

Dengar - Punishing one, Proton torps, R3 astromech, fearless -87 points

L3-37 escape craft - 22 points

Jakku Gunrunner - 28 points

Kavil - ion turret, proton torps, trick shot, Han Solo gunner - 62 points.

total - 199/200

Has anyone used Dengar with fearless? And any recommendations on the list above? I'm really happy with how Kavil runs in this list, between him and Dengar, it's a solid alpha strike followed by some control, but I'm open to suggestions.

Fearless doesnt work on Dengar. Fearless only works on printed painted primary arcs. ?

Cool!

Sorry for the bump - but I had this come up today and it has me genuinely puzzled as to why this was ruled this way.

First off- the Rules Reference Guide on Page 4 talks about Turrets and Firing Arcs.

There are 4 Standard Arcs which use the printed firing arc symbol. Forward, Rear, Left, and Right. Clearly Fearless is talking about the Forward firing arc. But it also requires that the attack be a primary.

Well Dengar's Turret IS is primary weapon. That much is clear.

But for turrets, it spells out that turrets are a "Turret Firing Arc" - however... where they are pointing, ALSO counts as the standard firing arc for the direction(s) it's pointing.

SO if Dengar's turret is pointing forward - it's a Turret Firing Arc, it's also a Forward Firing Arc... And a Rear Firing Arc... and also his Primary weapon.

And Fearless requires two things - Primary Weapon, and Forward Arc... right?

I don't know if there's a chance to have FFG take another look at a ruling like this and reverse it or not. It seems like perhaps they designed 2.0 to use that Forward arc symbol to represent two completely different things...

1) The front arc that is printed on all ship bases, and objects that fall within it up to range 3.

and

2) a type of weapon equipped to a ship that is a "Fixed Front" type of weapon, it only shoots in one direction : Forward.

Considering that exact same symbol is used on both Dengar's card AND on the Punishing one Title, I think it's very easy for people to assume a card like Fearless should work quite easily with Dengar.

Am I just insane?
