Unique Squad

So not counting the EoV in Wave 10, the last Unique squad was the Retchets of Bogdan in Wave 7, and before that, the Nakita Agents in wave 5.

Isn't it time for another Unique Squad? Everything is getting so common/uncommon that even the heroes don't feel heroic anymore. Just big blundering sameness plopped all over the map.

I like the Ninjas of the Northern Wind, Tarn Vikings, Krav Maga Agents. Unique squads are different from Common squads. Make more of them.

Re: Unique Squad

Here here! I also think they should come up with a Red Skull/Ornak type figure for unique squads, so they can still be potent if some of the figures die.

Edit: should it be "hear hear"?

Re: Unique Squad

They're not very marketable. Most people only buy one.

Re: Unique Squad

Like any Unique hero, but they still make those.

I'm not compeletely sure, but I think it's because they would get more money selling the unique squads as common squads instead.

Re: Unique Squad

Nobody wants a Scooby-dum and Scrappy-Doo 2-figure squad to be common! Bring back the unique squad!!!

One pack/wave. Unique squads have always been in the second unique pack and those waves didn't sell well.

Re: Unique Squad

I'd like a unique squad, too. Perhaps it could be featured in D4 (if we ever get there)? I'd like to see some sort of monster squad. And we don't have any huge squads, so why not make the next unique one huge? Plus, it'd help against plenty of special abilities/attacks that only affect small and medium figures, and large squads don't see much play. If we do get a huge, unique squad, I'd like to see monster chickens, or something funny. The game could use a little humor now and then (cue incoming barrage of Dund jokes... ).

Re: Unique Squad

I dont know if its been mentioned, but they could make an all unique wave, but just make a limited amount. Sounds good to me, but probably not to the sellers.

Re: Unique Squad

How about 3 heroes and a Unique Squad in the unique pack? Can't say it won't fit, we've done 8 figs in a pack before.

Re: Unique Squad

The problem with a DnD Unique Squad is that WotC is running out of cohesive DnD figures to make squads with (as evidenced by DKs and DCoT). If they do find a few figures that would make a good squad, they probably would want to get the most $$$ out of it. It makes more sense, therefore, to make it a common squad.

While that figure would be useful if some of the figures have died, would you want to face the AA and Krav in one turn? 7 ranged attacks of 3-4 each? That's 21-24 dice being thrown in one turn.

Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating!
