Starhawk and Onager speculation

Starhawk

Onager

What do you expect the point costs will be?

Starhawk shields-

F————/S————/R————

6 shield /4 shield /2 shield?

Starhawk dice- R=red B=blue b=black

4R 2B 2b /2R 2B 1b /???

my guess is this will be a little more than an ISD as it is basically a rebel ISD with more shields, and I doubt the hull value will be less than an ISD so maybe 130-140?

Onager shields-

F————/S————/R————

5 shield /2 shield /1 shield?

Onager dice- R=red B=blue b=black

2R 2B 1b / 3R 1b /???

Kyber Cannon-3R 2B 2b

Now I read somewhere it can turn at speed 0, not sure if confirmed, but speculation on these forums feels the cannon will get all its dice at its maximum range regardless of dice color, I also agree as it would be pointless to have a front arc profile otherwise. My guess is since this seems extremely fragile from the side and rear, yet is still a large base, it will might be 90 as it is a unique specialist like the Interdictor.

What are your thoughts on these two?

I hope the starhawk is cheap enough to run a list at 400

Starhawk: 120

OSD: 85

I think that is too cheap for the starhawk(as much as I wish it were that cheap)

the Starhawk has the same firepower as a ISD, and a lot more shields, its side shields are the same strength as the ISD's front.

OSD will definitely not be cheaper than an Interdictor, it is much more threatening as it is the only weapon with a special range.

Not sure where you heard that but I'd highly doubt it. It would require a new tool and could make lining up that bulls eye arc a little too easy. My guess is the cannon may require a recharge after use, maybe a turn? I'd say 100 points for the OSD. The Starhawk I see as 150-160.

Onager has 10 hull too.

There is a Title, that might allow for speed zero turns. But seeing as we have a blurry picture showing half the words its just speculating that will continue.

As for price points I think < depending how much super weapon cost is built into the hull> Onager costing somewhere between 90 - 110 points base, once armed with it's cannon 110 - 140. As that cannon is basically the only reason to take the ship.

Starhawk I think it comes to defence tokens, as those has as much impact on survivability as hit points. So for all salvo tokens 110. If we get a more balanced defense token suite 140.

In regards to the Onager, possibly all the cards may not have been revealed. I see titles with the star destroyer logo and no"Seventh Fleet Star Destroyer" title cards. I also see a card without a dot that is titled "Bombardment Ca...". Maybe there is more than one of this card. I am thinking that the main gun uses this card as a discard to fire. If this ship has multiple upgrades on the ship card for the weapon and multiple Bombardment Ca(nnon) cards then it could fire more than once. Is it known what kind of weapon t his"Kyber Cannon" is? And what kind of upgrade it would possibly use? 🤔

On second look, what I thought was a star destroyer logo is actually a different logo all together!

And now I see a new thread for just this kind of thing! Sheesh.

135 points for the Starhawk is my guess.

Starhawk and death star junior will both be excellent at killing larges and mediums but incredibly points inefficient against small ships

Those titles, I think, are not ship spanning titles but instead just titles for the Onager. The Aurebesh on the card just reads "ON", as in ONager. I guess they just couldn't make a silhouette this small that looked distinctly like the Onager.

Maybe the Kyber-Cannon can only fire at speed 0?!
