Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Star Wars: Transmissions — Atomic Mass Games WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Quote In this Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview, we’re rounding off the gang from the Inquisitorius with a preview of the Fifth Brother and the Fourth Sister from the Jedi Hunters Squad Pack! Both of these characters are memorable Force-sensitive agents of the Dark Side committed to hunting down the last remnants of the nearly defeated Jedi Order. Terrifying in both the scope and unfettered nature of its power and authority, the Inquisitorius is one of the most unique organizations in the Empire. It is committed to seeking out and destroying special threats, such as Force-sensitive rebels or the last of the Jedi who have gone into hiding. Tackling even diminished Jedi is no easy task, requiring special training, equipment, and individuals with strong wills and affinity for the dark side of the Force.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Databank Download: Jedi Master Mace Windu Preview — Atomic Mass Games WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Quote Many impressive individuals have served on the Jedi Council, but no one else has the combined poise, power, discipline, and formidable demeanor of Jedi Master Mace Windu, the subject of today’s Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview. Serving in the final days of the Republic Era, Mace Windu proved to be one of the greatest generals of the Jedi Order, a battlefield leader who earned the respect and reverence with which he was universally regarded. And though he showed a disdain for politics, Windu’s keen mind and instincts let him unravel sinister plots against his order; he was one of the few who eventually saw through the veils of lies erected by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Windu would be at the forefront of efforts to prevent the looming tragedy, and he came very close to singlehandedly forestalling the doom of the Jedi Order. He can be viewed as a Jedi paragon, an echo of Jedi Knights of a former era, when their purpose was unwavering, and their enemies could be confronted more directly.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Databank Download: Savage Opress Preview — Atomic Mass Games WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Quote Today’s Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview takes a look at Savage Opress, one of the most formidable Force-sensitive Nightbrothers from Dathomir and younger brother of Maul. He is a powerful and aggressive combatant, one with the ferocity to threaten even Jedi Masters. Opress was once a more ordinary Nightbrother, lacking a connection to the Force and, like most of these male clans, forbidden from practicing the magick of the dominant Nightsisters. His fighting prowess and seething anger caught the attention of Asajj Ventress during several grueling combat trials. Mother Talzin then subjected him to dark magicks to transform him into a brutal warrior with a powerful connection to the dark side of the Force. He would come to serve Count Dooku for a time, but his true loyalties are to Mother Talzin and his people on Dathomir. He would eventually be sent to recover his lost brother, Maul, who had been shattered by the Jedi and thought perished. After assisting Maul’s recovery, the brothers would pair up to seek revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi, for whom they nursed a bitter grudge.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Databank Download: CT-411 Commander Ponds & ARF Clone Troopers Preview — Atomic Mass Games WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Quote Today’s Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview features one of the standout units of specialized forces deployed during the Clone Wars, the Advanced Recon Force, led by CT-411, a Clone Commander better known as “Ponds.” For those who enjoy replicating historical squads, Commander Ponds and the ARF Clone Troopers are the perfect choice to accompany Jedi Master Mace Windu, as they did so ably in the Clone Wars. Together with Jedi Master Windu, Ponds and his ARF Clone Troopers participated in a number of key battles, including retaking the Twi’lek homeworld of Ryloth, as well as seeing action on Geonosis and Malastare.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Databank Download: Cad Bane, Notorious Hunter Preview — Atomic Mass Games WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Quote Today’s Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview features Cad Bane, Notorious Hunter, who is indeed one of the most famous and capable of the galaxy’s bounty hunters, which is saying something given the competition for that honor. Bane has a dark and sordid reputation for taking on sinister work, including jobs no one else wants to do. Cad Bane has a special sort of swagger and confidence, necessary traits for tackling the most difficult jobs in the galaxy, such as hunting Jedi. It was this that earned him the enmity of several of the Jedi Order’s most formidable masters, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu. Cad Bane always walked the darker side of his profession, having established strong ties with Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and working with others like Lord Maul and various Hutts. Given his prominence and the nearly impossible targets he agreed to pursue, Bane saw the benefit of working with others, gathering an impressive rotating crew of fellow bounty hunters, some nearly as notorious as himself. One of the keys to Bane’s success is his impressive arsenal of versatile tools and gadgets, employed expertly to give him an edge against Force users.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Databank Download: Queen Padmé Amidala Preview — Atomic Mass Games WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Quote Today’s Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview allows us to take a look at one of the most fascinating leaders of the Galactic Republic, a woman who found herself at the center of events that would transform the Galaxy: none other than Queen Padmé Amidala! hose who know the queen solely for her political gravitas, which was considerable, might make the mistake of thinking her a noncombatant. But in addition to being a superlative leader and public servant for the world of Naboo, Padme was very actively involved in battles to protect her world when the Trade Federation invaded. She would later be involved in numerous covert operations throughout the Clone Wars. And though she prefers peaceful solutions, she is always willing to take up arms when necessary to protect those she serves. It was her bravery as much as her intelligence which inspired the young Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, to fall in love with her and eventually to marry her in secret.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Databank Download: Aurra Sing & Bounty Hunters Preview - atomicmassgames WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM Aurra Sing's reputation as a skilled hunter and assassin is well-earned, and even the likes of Cad Bane and Hondo Ohnaka have sought her assistance from time to time. Quote This week’s Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview features an assortment of capable bounty hunters who have proven the merits of working together in what is often a solitary profession. The most prominent of these hunters is the Palliduvan sniper Aurra Sing, whose resume is long and includes many impressive credentials. Bounty hunting is a perilous if lucrative profession, and there is a modicum of professional courtesy among members of the guild. They may choose to team up when not instead undercutting one another or competing to be the first to get to a mark. Aurra Sing’s reputation as a skilled hunter and assassin is well-earned, and even the likes of Cad Bane and Hondo Ohnaka have sought her assistance from time to time. Aurra is more than willling to work with others, as long as the end result serves her own personal interests. Both Aurra Sing and her Bounty Hunter peers prove quite flexibile as guns for hire thanks to sharing the Payday Reactive ability, which lets them temporarily gain a tag of an ally. Thus paid, they can briefly be treated as members of the same organization. Given many abilities are only effective on specific tags, this ability opens up a wide range of potential combat benefits, letting these bounty hunters fight ably for any side of a given conflict. Databank Download: Sabé, Royal Bodyguard & Naboo Royal Handmaidens Preview - atomicmassgames WWW.ATOMICMASSGAMES.COM The Royal Handmaidens possess a deceptively peaceful guise despite being highly skilled and disciplined combatants. They are utterly committed to the protection of the planet’s royal family. Quote This Star Wars™: Shatterpoint preview examines some of the stalwart protectors of Naboo led by Sabé, a Royal Bodyguard. The Royal Handmaidens possess a deceptively peaceful guise despite being highly skilled and disciplined combatants. They are utterly committed to the protection of the planet’s royal family. Sent far afield to safeguard Queen Padmé Amidala, this group is as comfortable in combat as they are persuasive in politics. The bond between Sabé and Queen Amidala is strong, and it is no coincidence that this Royal Bodyguard closely resembles her charge. Not only is Sabé leader of the Handmaidens who protect the queen, she periodically serves as a decoy and stand-in, allowing Padmé Amadala to take on other vital tasks while disguised. Even when Sabé appears unarmed she is ready to confront potential threats and is quite ready and willing to give her life to save her beloved queen. She is both a skilled marksman and lethal martial artist, carrying hidden weapons on her person that can be brought to bear at a moment’s notice. Led by Sabé, these Loyal Protectors move as one to intercept danger, communicating with one another through subtle hidden gestures. Her Bodyguard Innate ability provides Cover to whichever Primary and Secondary characters she has been assigned to protect, so long as she is nearby. Because of this she most often prefers to keep close to her ward to help facilitate their combat actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Sabe is certainly... a choice from a character POV. She, Padme, and the Handmaidens do bring some colors into the game that are atypical Star Wars colors though, which is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Shatterpoint sculpts continue to be great. As someone who got into FFG stuff when Imperial Assault came out, it's really interesting to see how far they and AMG have come. I know it's not AMG that makes Legends of the Dark, but the big ass Trogdor that comes in the expansion that just came out for that is so impressive. Or looking at the stuff in Legion before the split, it's wild to look at Diala Passil's sculpt, paint job and image stolen from Reddit: Lightsaber fused to her cloak / spine, her robes are a completely filled diaper, etc. And that came out less than ten years ago! I think once Shatterpoint gets a few more mission types, it'll be cooking with gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legion lightsabers have the bendy problem. Outside of the thin lightsabers these are fantastic sculpts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roadmap from the other day does tease Thrawn for the "far future" so I'd say that's a definite possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
