With Bossk coming out this month (Hopefully) has any one had a chance to proxy him, and if so what are your thoughts? Even if you haven't used him what do you think of him?
Bossk
I haven't used him yet, but he seems cool. He could pair well with scout saboteurs as he can play sniper as well as help detonate any charges they set.
He also provides a welcome change to the standard Imperial colour palette
He can not detonate Scouts charges. He can only detonate dioxis charges.

Ah, just checked and you're right
He can still play sniper, lay his dioxin charge and have a nasty melee attack to boot.
Give him Hunter and let him hunt?
Edited by FearofaBlankPlanetHe's been pretty effective in this season of the Invader League. I think he'll be a staple of long range suppression lists.
I've been using him in Invader. He's amazing.
His long range firepower is excellent with aim token access, and his command cards are very solid. He's definitely vulnerable to burst damage, so you don't want to get him close to any major threats, but luckily he is very effective at range 4. Regen punishes your opponent for trying to chip damage off him at range.

So you’re saying bossk krennic and suppressive eweb lists!

I dunno about eweb, but I’ve run a mean Krennic, DT, Bossk list that can put out some suppression tokens!
while he has some great abilities he isn't going to be as strong long range compare to snipers and other units like boba fett, he is great up close as he can also regenerate while in melee.
his command cards are interesting
3 pip = unlimited aim tokens if he goes last.
2 pip = double attack
1 pip = grenade and it does damage unless heal the next activation of that unit.
What's an Invader League?
Where did you see his command cards?

They spoiled the cards on the FFG livestream awhile back.
invader is an online league I run twice a year. We’re in the third season now, with around 96 players. Invader uses unreleased content, so new units like Bossk and Sabine are being tested already.
I look forward to running him, although I think he will be another month out. Wasn’t the downed atst announced before?
Eh, don't care about Bossk in lore, so I won't be picking him up. Besides the AT-ST down and the Shoretroopers, it'll be a slow summer for me and Legion.

next month is the best bet, this month is the new corps and support units.

But Bossk and Sabine were announced before those.

I've played against him a few times on TTS, he's a wrecking ball at long range. He's just tough to deal with in general.

Oh man that’s really exciting! I’m super pumped! He’s gonna get all Miley Cyrusey up in those lists
Do we know why his bomb is only one and Sabine says to arm 2? Is there a difference in dice because they are both one Pip cards.

Bossk is a dork, but he's a bounty hunter. He's a dangling carrot for the bounty hunter prize we all want; 4LOM and Zuckuss.
I'm torn on the shoretroopers.

his bomb does damage over 2 rounds while sabine doesn't. also even if the defender blocks the hit with bossk they still get a poison counter on them.

I've never been a fan of any of the bounty hunters; I only picked up Boba because i figured he'd be a fun painting challenge. For the shoretroopers, I'm much the same as you, though if what has been leaked/suggested on here, the mortar is going to be a lot less interesting than I had hoped.
