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

Remember when everyone thought Chewie was only 80 points and he was really 110?  Yeah, wanna bet Bossk is 115?  I doubt he would have Enrage, Expert Climber, Unhindered, AND Regenerate and start off 25 points cheaper than Chewie.

You’re probably right. However, if Bossk stays 85 that would be bonkers!

He’s got to be 115. Minimum.

And I’ll still field him. He looks good even without command cards. We shall see how his other pips go.

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.

Does the expansion come with both options?

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

 

Fett could only order himself. Chewie could order himself plus one of the original three. It all depends on the individual cards.

I think that 3 pip card of Sabine is leading us into a Mandalorian Rebel special forces squad.

So, based on card art, we have Jump Mandalorian Tauntauns confirmed!!!!!

Article says yes, so I assume so.

which is great - choices are a good thing

I think he might be 95. He does only have a surgeless white defense die. Even with Regenerate seems like he can die fast.

Ya know, it occurs to me that at least 1 person at FFG probably relishes how hard it is to read point costs at their standard card resolution...

Again, Chewie has surgeless white defense dice and no Regenerate. Why would Bossk be cheaper than Chewie?

So... who’s going to mod their Bossk so he is holding an electric  guitar (or better, a Keytar)?

Awesome! I I was thinking the exact same thing. 😆

That’s true, however I’m looking at Chewie as the best analogue we have. Chewie only has 2 more hit points, but no regen. Same defense dice.

I could see them thinking Bossk is worth 115, 5 over Chewie. Especially depending on what’s on those command cards we haven’t seen.

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

Yeah I have a feeling that will be fixed in the RRG upon release

[Lemmiwinks86 934]

Bossk will be the first bipolar unit for Legion. He receives 3 wounds and gets enraged. Then he regenerates 1 wound so he's no more enraged, all peace and love. New wounds and enraged again...
I don't know if I'll be confortable playing with someone with such changes in mood 😁

These are white dice we're talking about, let's not go crazy and assume they'll roll paint or anything

[frankelee 75]

Looks like FFG is popping the cork on characters then. With Rebels the cartoon, possibly all the bounty hunters (even 4-LOM?!), and then any remaining OT characters who had a speaking line that FFG wants to use, the game could get much more character focused and cinematic. Which is what I thought it would be originally.

Thanks. I can’t access the article here.

So, Boba I'm non plussed with.  He is good and all.   Bossk is cool.   But lets get some Dengar!  

*Snicker!* 

Just kidding..  we should be getting some Zuckuss, but likely IG-88 will be next.

I think I broke all of the windows in my town when I saw this article.

Bossk has toxic or poison grenades?

The tokens do have a biohazardy symbol on them.  Seems reasonable.

He actually can set a charge it seems.   This MAY be a gear upgrade OR a command card.

It is a Dioxis Charge - a poison used by the CIS, or more specifically, what was used to try and poison Obi-wan and Qui-gon

Nah, he might regen 1-2 health all game. Tops.

Never enough to get over that threshold.

It only shows 1 token, so unless there's more in the pack not shown, it's probably a command card.
