FYI, these are designed to be balanced and work with traditional heroscape stuff, so I'm not sure how they will work with HoSS.

HoSS is also designed to work with Classic stuff, so they might/should be compatible.

Are you guys planning any additional types of troops for the Rebels (e.g. the wookie warriors in Imperial Assault)?

We have Wookiee Warriors slated for Episode III. There are also some designs being worked on to fill out the ranks of the Imperials and Rebels to provide more options for your armies.

That would be great! It would be nice to see more variety than the basic Rebel trooper.

Note too that the Rebel Snow Troopers, Rebel Captain, Major Derlin, Atgar Cannon, and Rebel Heavy Gunner are all Rebel troops too, and certainly provide a lot of variety to the Rebel ranks.

They do, but I personally don't like the aesthetic of soldiers in snow suits on a desert map.

@Jdet , I'm pretty sure you will definitely enjoy our Reinforcements arrive release, when it happens.

[Jdet]

OOOOOH! When's that coming out?

[TREX]

We still need a little testing done on a couple of the units. so, not sure.

Are you guys planning a Moff Jerjerrod custom?

[Arch-vile]

Nothing concrete is in the works. I do have a write-up for Moff Jerjerrod that I'd like to get to eventually.

The problem is translating pilots into a land based game effectively. I really like how the Cloud Pilots turned out but not sure if it will work for all the different pilot figures.

The characters from the Wraith Squadron books would be more suited for this. They are all good pilots, but Wedge brings them together because they have other strong primary skills. One is a sniper, one is more of a spy, one is a hacker, that sort of thing. Their skills would translate to a land game pretty well. And then you could have some kind of synergy that brings it together somehow when played as a group. And/or some kind of bonus or power involving Wedge.

These guys are even more obscure than the Rogue Squadron pilots, so that is a very good reason not to use them. But I am just throwing it out there.

I have had this comment rattling around in my head for a while now. Real life has finally slowed down a little and I had to post it . The Emperor looks cool. I am excited to try him out soon. Thanks again for all your hard work.
