We all have had enough time to play the new sith figures by now, and I wonder: Are we getting a better non-unique sith or a GOOD cheap sith unique? As of now, the sith from LOTF are intresting, but not competative. I don't want to be broad about them all, so here's my little summary of each figure and where the shortcommings are.
Darth Cadeus- While tricky and powerful in his own right, he is difficult to build around in anything less than 200. He's also a little overcosted, IMO. 110 HP and only double. Now to be fair, illusion is cool, and he has rage, assult, and flow-walking, along with poison dart. But still, not that amazing overall.
Darth Krayt- I love the figure, but he is also difficult to build around. Talon is an intereting for his CE, but you then loose loner, which sucks. He is powerful, but only standing still triple attacking, or using lightning. He has a nice defensive abilitiy with crab armor 6, but still, like Cadeus, he doesn't stand out much to be useful for the points.
Darth Nihl- Not impressive either. He is kinda like a sith corran horn, with a crappy CE. Not worth his points, for now.
Darth Talon- While a great miniature, she needs a little more to be worth it. Sith rage or ranged attack with lightsaber would make her, IMO.
Lumiya, the Dark Lady- Another great mini. While she has plenty of SAs, she just isn't powerful enough like nihl or talon.
Overall, as a casual player, I like the majority of the sith here. But in the competative area, bane, kun, and mabe Revan are the only ones that can come close. I really hope the sith get a great, cheap non-unique to utalize with nihl and krayt. As for now, no such luck.
Anyone disagree with me or share my hopes of further improvement to the sith?
