Cannot wait for these guys to come out. Honesty, I'm really underwhelmed by Cad Bane though he seems like it'd be really easy to shred him. He's less survivable than Jyn with only danger sense 2 and no nimble and we all know Jyn is not very survivable...kinda sad he's not gonna be great cause I was really looking forward to him so fingers crossed that his command cards are boss.

Aside from Cad Bane, all of this is so great. Can't wait to field a Rex/Padme army with so many tokens going around for my troops. Commando droids look insane I don't know how they're gonna be killed with being as survivable as Boba Fett, but with shielding on top of that

Seems like the prequel factions are at the minimum variety of models now. I am glad for them.

So no Yoda or Old Ben?

YAS!! OMG Cad Bane

Cad, Padme, and the cards we've seen for them are all on Tabletop Admiral now.

Thankfully the Scum and Merc Faction will have the ability to field all the operative bounty hunters at once. So when they are released ya'll better watch out.

You know the future, eh?

as a heavy jyn user i disagree. she is in imo one of the tankiest pieces in the game.

So many better options for operatives for both factions... 😥

He has steady as well, so he will be as annoying as in the cartoon. His weapons and cards are going to make him ridiculous. If the Separatists ever get a cheap commander they will vault to the top of the dog pile.

I imagine they might get a T-series droid as a cheap commander at some point. It would make sense since they appear quite a bit in Clone Wars.

It’s also a shame they’re just doing mirror units from the other two factors. 😕

So Lethal 1 is strictly worse than Pierce 1 from the other sniper strike team counterparts from the Rebels and Imps. Is this an indication of a potential errata coming in the future for those snipers to make their Pierce 1 keyword into Lethal 1? Or are these prequel sniper strike teams going to be cheaper enough? (I can't squint hard enough to see how much it would cost per Republic/CIS sniper strike team). Or just the dice differences enough?

Keep in mind that the CIS Sniper is rolling double red with surge to hit. That's substantially better than what previous sniper team have done. Odds are you won't even need an aim to get 2 hits in so spending the aim for pierce isn't a bad trade-off.

Fives and Echo can be heavy upgrades for Corps units!

I CALLED IT

I've also noticed the defensive profile of the BXs and ARCs as snipers. Red dice defense plus Impervious. Seems much better than I originally thought.

Oh man, that’s just too cool. Better option than the generic I bet.

That Vibrosword tho. Ouch

LOL this thread right above the "Is SWL Dead???" thread...

Anyway, bring Rex, 2 ARCs, Obi, and R2 all with Scout 2 on your Secret Mission 😎

seriously, so many thanks!

The droids can also get Shielded 2 (though for 18 points) and it seems likely the strike team still has the slot for it (since they have two copies). Both units have similar "styles" to our previous first gen SF slots, but are also doing a bit of their own thing with some upgrades and keywords.

Also, we finally have a "good" Ion weapon. 3 points for Ion 1, black dice, don't exhaust looks like. ARCs with jetpacks might have the mobility to sneak these into a vehicle's weak points and slap up their actions a bit if you don't bring something which can slap heavy armor.

AW HECK, REX GETS A JETPACK TOO?

Cad Banes is cool and all. However with expensive commanders I doubt I will play him much.

Finally some options to diversify these factions. Games have been pretty dry lately.

Emp grenades seem really really good.
