Anatomies of a theme build
First- have a theme
Any will do-
Famous Pairs
Hero Build
Force Users
Melee Only
Second- have one that is “do-ableâ€
Trying to run an all “Nautaloid†squad is doable- but with only 2 figs in the whole series it’s going to be a little uneventful-
Next- know the Breakdown of the build- what your goals are and what kind of restrictions (if any) do you want to impose and what are the
consequences…
Let’s run:
“
THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARâ€
(Research on your own
Shadows of the Empire and what happens in the
Bounty Hunter War comic)
Build: Pieces with Bounty Hunter Special ability
Pieces with “Black Sun†Special Ability
Pieces with “Black Sun†in their Title
Prince Xizor
No version of Boba Fett may be used
Why limit the format to these stipulations?
Theme builds are meant to be run on a THEME, it’s “No fun†if you can always throw Boba Fett or Aurra Sing at EVERY challenge- the point is to build on a THEME.
Choose options that event the newest player can accommodate. The Build we’ve chosen does just that.
What does the Build allow?
Because
1) Most Black Sun pieces have “Stealth†it makes for a sure challenge, only 1 other BH piece has Accurate Shot: Zuckuss. Most of the newest set, includes BOTH options
2) To circumvent the Stealth Special Ability, the Player will have to consider putting in Prince Xizor (40 points)
3) With the option to put in so many unique pieces, playing better bounty hunters with Black Sun Support is a must.
4) Since there are such great Vigos available who could resist not using the Bith BSV or the Rodian BSV?!
This all helps “Force†players to build a more rounded and Aggressive squad.
Example Squad:
Prince Xizor-
Zam Wessel –
Bith Black Sun Vigo
Abysian Black Sun Thugx2
Aqualish Assassin x2
Dengar
= 150points
This squad is very Stealthy, has 2- 3 Excellent shooters, Cunning and Opportunist fighters; Evade when near the Vigo, and Plenty of other options for hitting their target- Kohuun Infestation and Grenades 20.
