Tauntaun Scout! We finally got them!

Omg these look awesome. Still getting painted in endor scheme though.

Love me some rebel plastic crack

HYPE!!!!

Interesting that they have a new "Ram" keyword instead of "Charge." This is gonna be fun!!

@TauntaunScout Are you pleased with FFG now?

Let’s all mention @TauntaunScout and create a disturbance in his email / the force.

About time!! **** this makes me happy. Nice sculpts, plenty of aliens and women figures! Well done FFG Well done.

I won't lie. I haven't paid much attention to Legion lately (or the Forums) but when I saw these guys I immediately thought of @TauntaunScout

obligatory @TauntaunScout summoning post...

Now that is out of the way, there are some interesting mechanics to parse with these two units. Coordinating 1.4 FD's, whatever RAM 1 does, Tauntauns being some type of Trooper unit and what that does for things like Breakthrough...definitely game-changers.

Eh, this news seems kinda luke warm, I think itll freeze over before it reaches the first marker.

Have to say, these look very good. The Hoth Troopers (sorry, Rebel Veterans ) have some interesting differences from other Corps units. I look forward to seeing more about how the Medium Blaster can work on its own.

Based on this, I imagine the next wave for the Empire will be Dewbacks and Shoretroopers (which I think are an Imperial Veteran unit). I would like to have seen Imperial Navy Troopers, but I think the Shoretroopers seem a bit more likely.

And they say @TauntaunScouts heart grew three sizes that day

They are support, yes, but they are also troopers. You're getting confused with corps.

I'm not sure throwing 4 red dice with surges and Sharp 1 qualifies as support...

They have Relentless, they don't need Charge. Ram is a weapon keyword instead of a unit keyword like Charge anyway.

Yuuuuup. My bad--and tbh, I just wanted to tag you know who. @MasterShake2 throwing 4 red dice, etc would support the **** out your other units. It's fire support.

They can't hurt us if they're dead!

But seriously, this unit takes basically 5 actions a turn. If you double move, you get 2 dodge tokens and a free attack action.

And you can pivot before/after you move. For free.

Came here like everyone else to watch @TauntaunScout lose his mind.

Tabletop Admiral won't be updated til Monday

My server access files are on my work computer, and I took the day off because my car broke down.

Forgive me.

My response to the news of tauntauns is Luke warm at best..
