FORCE LEAP

[Tai-Pan]

Luke continues to be a valuable apprentice for Obi-Wan.

In testing I really enjoyed Padawan Luke. Even though the ability seems to imply it, it is sometimes better NOT to rush to the aid of an engaged hero, but rather to use disengage to break through enemy lines and attack something (Tarkin, Officer, etc) behind the front line.

With bonding with Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan can force push a figure to clear the way for Luke to charge through. With 1 attack and force push, then force leap and disengage, the options for mobility are quite good.

[Porkins]

Agreed. Luke and Obi-Wan together can be quite dangerous. Another strategy is to get Obi-Wan engaged with a big hero, then rush Luke up adjacent to Obi-Wan for an extra defense die and a double attack beatdown.

If you throw yoda into the mix with Luke and Obi wan, its not only one of the coolest things you can do, but you can piggyback yoda into the fight with either one of them using obi as the order marker hog. It works quite lethal. Its like having a squad of Jedi. except yoda just moves(and occupies glyphs) and looks cool and green. When you drop yoda down next to luke and yoda and luke are adjacent to the same figure, Luke gets to use his impulsive ability.

You guys are making me want to play some HoSS. You even built one of my next armies.

Obi-Wan 150
Luke Padawan 110
Yoda 100.......360
Han 120
Chewie 120......500

Yoda can then ride up with Chewie & Han too.

[TREX]

I piggybacked him up to an attack glyph, used my other heroes until they died, and finished up with yoda. It was awesome how he played.(tested on swamps of Dagobah no less.)

[Tai-Pan]

I think it would be helpful to add the Force Power definitions to the relevant books. I always find myself searching for the power description and always forget where to find them (I don't want to download the rulebook or search through it, so I usually end up looking at the Darth Vader Book, which has the powers listed under Rule Clarifications)

[Porkins]

Added to all Force User Holocrons. Good suggestion!

That's 600pts. 360 + 120 = 480; +120 = 600.

[Yodaking]

600 points it is then. That gives me more room to fit in Vader along with some support units. Or maybe I'll send then against Veers and an AT-ST.

[Tai-Pan]

After the death of his aunt and uncle on Tatooine, Luke Skywalker joined company with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who wished to train the boy in the ways of the Force. Luke began his training while on a mission with Kenobi, who was then slain by Darth Vader. Kenobi's Force Spirit instructed Luke to continue his training under Jedi Master Yoda on Dagobah. During his time on Dagobah, Luke proved to be impatient, impulsive and full of emotions, especially concerning his companions, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa. Master Yoda expressed doubts that Skywalker was ready to be a Jedi, and Luke left Dagobah before completing his training to help his friends, whom he sensed to be in danger.
