Well I've been working on these for a little while. I didn't change the point costs, I simply updated them. And I didn't do every mini as I think some of them are okay in today's game. The goal was not to make a piece that is suddenly "top-tier" for the current environment, but just to try to imagine what the set might look like as a beginner set for the current game design focus.

Feel free to share your feedback:

Very interesting. I think you hit most of them right on the nose.

Nice work Boris. Dancing Vader looks pretty decent.

Looking at the +18 attack, it reminds me of other characters with a printed attack greater than 16. Rob or Mons seem to think that if a base attack rating is above 16, (even if there are no modifiers available to increase it) then a character needs to be costed significantly higher. I'd almost say 5 points per attack point after 16.

It's kind of like the Base 30 Damage curse, IMO. Like 90% of the chars with Base 30 damage suffer for it, IMO.
