On the Hunt - Sabine Wren and Bossk!

[Zeph01 55]

is it just me or is sabine a better version of luke?  shes 150 points with the darksaber upgrade, better defense than luke imo (surges defense and impervious), has nimble and gunslinger....looks like a real powerhouse

and bossk...omg cant wait to paint and play him, the primary weapon is awesome, regenerate gives him some survivabilty with the white defense die no surge, plus enrage ..

 

really awesome job on these guys FFG cant wait for the full reveal!

Also move 3.

But fewer HP and less courage, not a commander.

You forgot the immune: pierce from Darksaber against melee...

Luke has command cards, and has better pierce.

That, and immune piece > impervious

The artwork on the Endurance card may be a hint at the release of Tauntauns if we follow the usual logic. (which has been borne out in this case with Bossk)

Yes, I noted this as well.  The rebel pictured in the artwork does not seem to be Luke or Han either, so, maybe even more of a hint that we could be seeing a Tauntaun rider eventually?

You do realize that there are Hoth Troopers pictured on the Environmental Gear upgrade, which has been out since April 2018...yet still no Hoth Troopers...

Technically Hoth troopers are in the game.... they're just on the 1.4 FD.

 I don't think Sabine will be better than luke. Defense dice are better, but being immune to pierce is better than impervious. Speed is better, but without charge Luke has better melee range. Darksaber is outright worse than a lightsaber.

Anyone else notice Bossk's rifle is Range 2-4?

Lol, so you can have a dead tauntaun model and you'll be happy?

yeah it definitely focuses on the "mortar" part of the weapon, than the rifle. They could have basically counted it as a split/two weapons. A sniper rifle maybe with 1 Red/1 White, and then the "mortar" aspect with 3 white + Suppressive. But, it still looks like a solid weapon!

apples to apples, shes not a commander so theres that, but rebels do have lots of options for cheaper commanders compared to empire.  She does gain immune pierce in melee with the darksaber which helps.  Both of these operatives seems like amazing choices

Since I don't really "want" a tauntaun unit in the game, sure.  Be an interesting terrain piece for my Hoth/snow planet mat.

New grenade; dioxis.

There’s no grenade card so i think this will be a Bossk-exclusive command card 

[docForsaken 92]

i'm buying 2 bossks to paint both poses.  SO awesome

 

LOVE THIS

[sirfrancisdubois 34]

RAW, Impervious will combo with Immune Pierce in melee, which will be crazy.

[Jabby 1,042]

I will probably model sabine with the helmet. I hate painting faces. She will probably sit on my painting table for ages since I really don’t want to get her armour wrong.

[JediPartisan 810]

I thought that operatives only gave orders to themselves, but Sabine’s 3 pip gives orders to 2 Troopers as well.

Also it looks like the art for the second upgrade card for Sabine is of her vambrace grappling line. 

 

Also the third card looks like her personal shield. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Small_portable_shield

 

[Greasypotatoes 23]

FFG has really upped their sculpting game. These last few  miniatures are so much better looking than Leia and Han.

You are right, not a grenade, but a charge.   He can place poison mines.

So, time for some proxies...

 

Kanan as Luke, Hera as Leia, and Zeb as Chewie.  With Sabine you get most of the Ghost Crew.

So..  just noticed that the Darksaber is Sabine Wren only.  I guess that rules out a Bo-Katan Kryze expansion. 😥

And yet... the Darksaber is unique. So, it’s possible (at least future proofing) that they could add Bo-Katan, and give her a Darksaber upgrade as well.

[Imperial Citizen 48]

It looks like Bossk is only 85 points! With that price he can easily fit in many different lists.

Chopper as astromech, and Darth Lothcat can sit on the sidelines on a space whale.

Sounds right to me. 

Or just use the model and have Ezra driving the Speeder.
