Yeah i just played my first skirmish with vader driven by hatred and... he is a beast. Actually with all the command cards that give you movement points and with zillo and unshakable he is an unstoppable tank ! In my game he kill jedi luke, gideon and 2 eRangers!! (With a little help by an eOfficer) and he end the match with 12 damage saving his 13 points

I think you will satisface! With the upgrade, at only 13 points, Vader have 3,5 actions per activation (2 actions + 2 movement pont + attack or chocke again). Don't forget the new force user command cards and the lists with the emperor. Good times for Vader!!

Sometime ago i saw a forum in wich a guy made a list of "fixes" for uniques. I think finally the official "fix" for vader follow the same way that the one in that forum... i can't remember where is , can anybody help me?

Looking at the new skirmish upgrade "Driven by Hatred" for Vader, some doubts come to me: 1- what is the vader figure cost with the upgrade? 13 or 18? if you have a list with weiss or RGC, with the "motivation" upgrade... can they heal vader and give him 1 movement point, cause they are actually higher costed? 2- what about his command card "Lord of the sith"? this card usually allows vader to do all in a round (brutality, move and chocke) but he already can do it without, thanks to the upgrade. On the other hand, brutality was an extra bonus for this card, giving him 3 potentially actions using it (2 for brutality+ 1 chocke guy), but now he only can kill two guys in his own activation so the card loses power. I really think that he need a new command card. 3- what happen if you kill a guy with vader "end of the round" actions, if that guy was control some objetive that give VP at the end of the round? what is the correct order of events here? Expect some answer guys!

scum faction already had the IGG 88 improvement. After the vader upgrade, can we wait for a cost reduction on han and chewie?? or just improvement like igg?

But in the time he is not active and has no heal...he is dead

Really like it. The reroll on atrack with red die is great...and the +1 damage! Even the extra attack with reroll and choosing RY for black die and RR for white die is strong. And you can foorce chocke twice! 4damage 2 strain focused in a target in LoS... All for 13 points. I like.

What do you think about the fix? I can't wait to use him and the emperor together!!

The most exciting thing with Aphra is she'll come with a skirmish upgrade for vader! What better way to introduce this fix?? so we could play again with one of the most iconic characters of all time!

I think nothing for us in the 4th may.

I'm agree with this.. All you said is all we need. You only forgot a skirmish upgrade for chewie. I really want to see the skirmish upgrade for Vader!! looking at IG 88's one, it would be awesome! MORE FORCE USER CARDS!!

What happen with this game?

seems like imperial assault is the last thing ffg are thinking in....

If you have a 3d model, i recomended you the web https://www.shapeways.com/ they already had good materials and you can get an ashoka mini like the official ones (or pretty close). Recently i upload some models in a material called "black" , it costs around 15-20$ depends on the wall thickness and the amount of material (in the case of the thiny ashoka it will not much )

But... i didn't see any "imperial assault" in that new :S WHY??

since there are uniques with cost half or less than vader, that can do great damage and with better command cards.... poor vader doesn't see table. I can't imagine how they'll fix our favourite sith lord, but need a great fix.

expect any news today?? why??

Hate? Why? Its only a collectible card game without any possibilities of buying a ******* card. Please more imperial assault news and less destiny ones

anyone can see the text of skirmish upgrade card called "trusted ally" ? since we had not an image in the last preview...

Really we don't have any news? Even with the GAMA?

What is GAMA? And most important... When is? I can't wait to see more and more hahaha

Shock and awe sounds too powerful. People start to use vader running throw the enemy forces and then use the rest of the list to hunt them down. I don't understand the exhaust hability. It means that you don't spend action to attack? This would means that brutality have no sense if you can do 2 attacks, one by action and another by exhaust. Perhaps stunning with force choke is an option to ensure the enemy don't flee from vader position. Ah men, i love this design speculations

In the rulebook i think it said the villians have the same rules thn the rebel allies. Rebel allies are limited to one per mission. If i'm wrong it will be awesome to my imperial plans hahaha

But you can't play more than 1 villian per mission.. Right?

And don't forget you can heal him with some droid cards. Even without heal him, +5 health is better than spend 2 of your surges in recover 6, i mean.
