Alpha17 2,853 Posted July 3, 2019 Yeah, I just pointed that little "whoopsie" in my local Legion group on FB. Sounds like somebody picked a cool article title without realizing its a bit misleading. Anywho, love the looks of the new units. If I wasn't already preordered for two core sets, I'd probably pick a BARC speeder up. Still might do so on a Droideka. Side note, can anyone see what the card "Linked Targeting Array" does? I can make out its for emplacement troopers or vehicles only, and you get "Target 1," but that's about the extent I can make out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just now, smickletz said: It looks like: ”Emplacement Trooper or Vehicle only - You gain Target 1 (after you are issued an order, gain 1 aim token)” That would be interesting, and help some units. Not a lot of help, but some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BARCs were just a little bigger, and thus the Empire said "nope" and went with the 74-Zs instead. (which the Republic had also used) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choassassin 39 Posted July 3, 2019 I think the Droidekas are about 100 points or more? I have high resolution screens but cannot read it clearly. 1 lunitic501 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least we won't have to worry about not being able to make an 800 point army of droids now. 2 lunitic501 and ScummyRebel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean in terms of efficiency as well as in terms of literal “oh this is more elite” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decarior 121 Posted July 3, 2019 Can some make out the cost of the BARC side car? Is it 10 or 30? The armament of BARC with side card and imperial speeder bikes is mostly the same (the of BARC speeder showing slightly higher variance) only real difference in that regard is that the BARC can split fire while bikes gain impact 2.

gothound 60 Posted July 3, 2019 Limited target array looks nice on the Mark II and the mortar, since they both are coordinated from the Vets and the Shoretroopers 3 bllaw, smickletz and lunitic501 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha17 2,853 Posted July 3, 2019 Oh, anyone else mildly annoyed that the box art shows clones with Neyo's BARC trooper helmet, while the minis are wearing standard Phase I helmets?

manoftomorrow010 1,119 Posted July 3, 2019 Can anybody make out the exact wording of the Wheel Mode text? I can't make it out hardly at all. Is that wheely-looking token related to Wheel Mode? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choassassin 39 Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) (When you activate, you may increase your maximum speed by 1. If you do, until the end of the round, you gain cover 2 and cannot attack or flip active shield tokens.) This is my interpretation of what I can read.

AHH yes, "activate" was the word that was eluding me, it almost looks like 2 words, an article and another word, in the low res image lol thanks! So the token is a means to avoid switching the models in and out every time, but, where's the fun in that?!

Ready for my rolling murder bois! I imagine that the token is more for tournaments since when you replace a model it's never going to be perfectly in the exact same spot, but I don't see it getting a lot of use in regular play.
