Alt Art: Thrawn

By Praetorate of the Empire, in Star Wars: Legion

So I've seen some pictures of Veers painted as Admiral Thrawn. I think this is a super awesome idea and am considering it, but want to know if anyone can or has mocked up some Veers command cards as Thrawn command cards? I think it would be sensible and not terribly complicated... for someone with better editing skills than me. ?

Funny you should ask that, someone just posted a pic of some Thrawn command cards on the Discord server

Cleft chin or no cleft? The debate rages on.

These are awesome - does Strange Eons have a Legion plug-in or was someone just super talented?

Pretty op should be 150-200 pts

I could see 150, maaaaaybe. More like 140 in my opinion, and certainly not 200. What does he have that you think is so much better than, say, Leia? I'm used to homebrew stuff being ludicrously OP, and this is fairly reasonable.

His melee is pretty op. Sharpshooter 2 plus pierce as well as his commanding ability and his upgrade slots are pretty good. Maybe 140. For some reason i read his original points as 80.

Sharpshooter 2 seems out of line.

I don't think it should even exist, but Leia has it, so why not him?

I think that it should be reserved for a select few, not including Leia. However, her offensive capability matches the general Rebel "better offense, worse defense" while this Thrawn has both, straying away from the Imperial norm.

A proper reflection of Leia would be red defense, white attack, Sharpshooter 1... Like Veers.

How is he Luke or Vader levels? He seems pretty comparable to Han. Han has a much higher ceiling for killing units, but Thrawn has better Inspire and Give Orders. Also, Han technically has much better health as well. The rerolled White defense is a 55% save, while a normal red is only 50%. Plus Han has 1 extra HP. Seems pretty fair to me.

I was just thinking about Thrawn’s abilities, and it occurs to me that they’re all something we’ve already seen on other commanders, a hodgepodge.

Instead, I’d like to see a new ability affecting a part of the game that’s, so far, been fairly empty, Deployment and introduce a new keyword: Feint.

Thrawn would come with Feint 3: After all units have been deployed, you may redeploy up to 3 units.

Command Upgrade card: War college training: Feint 1 (cost 10)

His thing would be to rearrange his troop deployment after he sees the enemy play.

I like the idea of Feint but I think it would work better if it was either limited to Trooper units or reduced to 2 redeployments.

Additionally, having a command card which allows him to use the enemies command card text against them would be nice, probably as his 3 pip.
