The point cost may need an adjust once more play testing is done.

Any thematic feedback is much appreciated and taken into consideration. Any other feedback is also appreciated.

These look great.

For Cody, We have a figure in C3G that has a low attack and provides cover fire that's activated when he rolls a skull rather than inflicting a wound. It's really fun. Check out MACH-I when you get a chance. I think allowing Cody to move up figures like that instead of having to inflict a wound makes him more dynamic. And since he's not just the 212 leader but the entire division he deserves to be a step up.

I've also tested many of the HOSS Sanctum Droids...should be a fun play.

This is how interested I am...I was moments away from spending $50 last night on clone trooper mini's when I realized my gift card was only for $25.

I started out with giving him Chewie type stats and abilities because he and Chewie are pretty similar when it comes down to brute strength. The difference between the two is Tarful is just a big commanding Wookiee with no loyalty ties. The Charging Assault ability of the Kozuke Samurai just really fit here with a crazed wookiee charging in to really get blood.

Next are the Wookiee Warriors. Similar to Tarful, they are Crazed Melee Fighting Wookiees. I wanted to keep their stats reflecting their brutish wookiee attributes giving them higher attack and higher defense. To keep it in check I made them into a squad of 2 figures. What really popped into my head was during Episode III on the Battle for Kashyyyk when the two wookiees jumped onto the droid tank planting explosives and dove into the water. Another thing that comes to mind are the Awesome Wookiee berserkers from the force Unleashed Video Games. These guys can really deal damage to heroes if they get in close enough. They are so-so on the number game when it comes down to killing squads though.

Just to be clear. Wookiee Rage means they can attack up to 3 times if they don't destroy a figure, correct? Or is the intent to be 2 attacks in total?

Just to specify. The galactic marines I have are repainted snow troopers. Their are offical galactic marines but they are quite a bit more costly.

Thats why I only put two in a squad. They could do some brutish wookiee damage. I think by removing the last sentence it should clear it up right?

Yes it would. As I read it now you attack and if you attack and don't kill you get to attack again and since I can use this power twice if I don't kill the second attack, I get to attack again. If you drop the last line it reads more like other similar powers.

Outstanding...I was originally going to not get the marines since they were too costly. Great tip. Can you post some photos?

Yeah. Absolutely. At one point I had those posted. Ill snap some pics. All the stuff Ive made and painted over the last while hasnt made it here lately. With how the wookiee warriors are with that power clarified what do you think of them? They are quite strong but are only a two man squad. I would think tying them up with lower point squad figures or blasting them with ranged squads would kill them pretty well. Keeping them away from your heroes would be a good call. Also as with any higher point common squad figure they are susceptible to 20 die roll attacks. At most they would only be able to destroy to squad figures in one turn where some of those squads like kow can possibly kill 5 figures in one turn with a bonded hero. Ill update that card after Ive fixed the thermostat on my wifes car tonight. I cant wait to test all these guys. A fun fight would be the Imperial forces against the clones and clones vs droids.

Edit: also what do you think of my draft of darth sidious. Order 66 might take a little tweaking to get perfect but I really like the concept.

Are there any other figures you use proxies for? I thought about cammo-ing up a few Scout troopers to turn into 41st but decided not. I may still. I haven't ordered anything yet.
