The Holocron of IG-88B
The Holocron of IG-88B Small Expansion 1: Bounty Hunters Figure Card: Rectangular Cards
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for this unit is a Star Wars figure from the Dark Times set. Its model number and name are #30/IG-88 Assassin Droid ______________________________________________________________ Character Bio - After IG-88A gained "sentience programming" and killed much of the Project Phlutdroid personnel, IG-88B was activated, named by order of activation, and given the same sentience programming from the first unit. With the other IG-88s, as well as IG-72, the five droids managed to escape the factory and leave a swath of destruction in their wake. Later, to draw attention away from themselves, IG-88B embarked on a bounty hunting career, while IG-88A remained on Mechis III, supervising production and preparing for galactic control. He took jobs that often required massive amounts of destruction, in order to further lead pursuing Imperial forces away from Mechis III. Soon IG-88B became known as the second best bounty hunter in the galaxy—second only to Boba Fett.

IG-88B
Independent Droid Unique Hero Bounty Hunter Calculating Medium 6 Points: 150 Life 4 Move 5 Range 7 Attack 3 Defense 5 BOUNTY At the start of the game, choose a Unique Hero to be IG-88B's Bounty. When IG-88B attacks his Bounty with a normal attack, add 1 die to his attack. PULSE CANNON SPECIAL ATTACK Range 5. Attack 2 + Special. If the defending figure receives at least one wound from this special attack, roll 1 additional attack die for each wound received. The defending figure receives an additional wound for each additional skull rolled. IG-88B may use this special attack 3 times in the same turn and may target the same figure or a different figure with each attack. BALLISTIC ANALYSIS When IG-88B rolls defense dice against a normal attack from a non-adjacent figure, one shield will block all damage. Last edited by Yodaking; March 10th, 2015 at 05:28 PM. |

Re: The Holocron of IG-88B
IG-88B is a great counter to the 4th and (a little less so, but still so) the 10th (due to their bayonets) along with any other low defense squad. He can also handle himself well versus a ranged hero.

Re: The Holocron of IG-88B
Do I understand Pulse Cannon correctly?
I target Vader with IG. I roll 2 dice and get 1 skull. Vader whiffs and receives 1 wound. Still during the attack, I roll 1 extra die. If it's a skull, I add another wound. Repeat 2 more times. I was reading it and was unsure. It almost looks like it could be something like the Combined Arbalast of the Protector's of Ullar where attacks 2 and 3 get stronger if the previous attacks wounded the target. The wording feels a little weird either way. I think having "additional attack die" in there makes it confusing. You actually roll, after the attack is carried out, attack dice for each wound received, not additional attack dice, right? Because you're not increasing the power of the original attack in retrospect, you're dealing with after-effects. Any help would be appreciated. Jugger It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect! |

Re: The Holocron of IG-88B
I misread the title (dyslexically) and thought this was a new holocron. I got really excited till I realized it's not new. Can't wait for the next realease!

Re: The Holocron of IG-88B
The following synergy needs to be added to IG-88B's C3V & Sov recieved synergies list:
• HOPLITRON: Melee Soulborg Bonding As a Droid Hero with a base range of one, IG-88B may benefit from Hoplitron's MELEE SOULBORG BONDING special power. Ignore this brief bit of insanity... nothing to see here . Last edited by Fi Skirata; March 30th, 2015 at 02:35 PM. |
