(cause im going to use hoss cards regardless)

Scout Troopers will be a squad. We have some older designs for Episode VI that we will revisit before releasing them. At the time of the original design, they were a common squad of 2. The number in the squad could change, but I would be shocked if they changed from a common squad.

Thanks for info as always mac. I will probably turn half of my scout troopers into kashyyk troopers to go with the legitimate kashyyk trooper sculpt they have out to buy. common squad of 2 would be thematic of the movie. cool. cant wait.

I'm not sure if this was asked, but is there a chance at the Clone Wars in the future? I know the popularity isn't as big as classic, but there are some pretty sweet figures from the Clone Wars that I would like to see matched up against say, Vader?

Always in motion the future is.

Yes, you can expect some figures from the Clone Wars - there were quite a few figures produced. However, you will need patience. We will likely complete the 6 movies before any major Clone Wars release.

Thanks for the answer, looking forward to all of it.

A question similar to the one Trex asked above. The Destroyer Droids are they going to be a squad or are they heroes? And are we looking at common or unique? What is the solution to the sculpt costliness/availability? Hope none of these questions are unanswerable cause of design confidentiality or some such.


Also does HOSS have a Public access member program like the C3V?

The card designed a couple years ago was done as a common squad of 2. When we get to Episode I, that could change, but can't guarantee it. Porkins made a paper proxy model that works well. I'll see if I can dig it up and post a link.
EDIT: Here's the link.


We've had some discussions in the Inner Sanctum about figure availability. I believe at some point in the near future, we will be releasing a list of figures for all the designs we have in the pipeline. This would give the community the chance to look for deals on some of the pricier minis.

EPI is still a while off but personally I would not be surprised if Destroyer Droids ended up as uncommon heroes. No way to know for sure right now.

That's the direction I'm leaning as well. Considering what we've done with some other heavier firepower figures - Atgar, Rebel Heavy Gunner, E-WEB - the Destroyer Droid would seem to lend itself to Uncommon Hero status.

For Darth Vader's Force Choke do I roll 1 die for a force leaper/force pusher and if it's a skull I can keep rolling 1 die until it's not a skull and for someone without force leap/force push start with 2 die and if they're both skulls roll 1 die until it's not a skull? Is that correct?

[mac122]

Roll 1 die. If you roll a skull, you can roll again unless the defending figure is a Force user. You can then keep rolling 1 die until you don't roll a skull or the figure is destroyed.

[Koolster25]

Alright thanks! That is a lot more balanced than how I had been playing.
