Shatterpoint Ministravaganza Highlights
After a full weekend of panels, developer insights and painting streams theres plenty of Star Wars Shatterpoint news to share! If you werent able to tune in or if you simply need a recap, we have you covered with a full recap including upcoming models and options! Lets dive in.
First up we have additional images of renowned Jedi Knight Plo Koon and his daring wolfpack in the Lead by Example Squad Pack. This squad pack also contains the official release of padawan Ahsoka as an additional secondary option. This will provide anyone who missed picking up the prerelease Ashoka on launch to add the acrobatic padawan to their strike teams. Plo Koons stance and ability cards were also shown off showcasing his desire to protect his squad, as no one is expandable.
Next throughout the weekend we were treated with a closer look at the upcoming Fearless and Inventive Squad Pack. This pack is themed around Return of the Jedi and the recuse of Han from jabba’s palace and sail barge. Primary Luke Skywalker will come with 2 differnet torso options to fit with his look during the scenes at Jabba’s palace or within the throne room of the Death Star. His stat and stance cards were shown showing him to formidable and important addition to your squads as well as sharing inspiration from both Padme and Anakin in their design. Leia disguised as the bounty hunt Boushh joins him as the secondary in this pack with her own tricks while Lando and R2 join together as the supporting unit. With their disguises come a new way to utilize your squads.
Rising to meet his son and his rebel friends is Darth Vader in the Fear and Dead Men Squad Pack. We were treated with a closer look at how the formidable empire will play in Shatterpoint as well as a comparison between this Vader and the one that previously release as part of the Duel pack. This version is designed with some unique twists as well as having some synergy with other imperial units. In addition we were shown the stormtrooper sergeant that acts as the secondary and though we werent shown the stormtrooper supports the developers discussed how stormtroopers are depicted how the standard rebellion solider sees them as a ruthless and efficient force for the empire.
Yub Nub Squad Pack Also made its debut. This pack comes with Logray as your ewok primary and your choice of secondaries from the brave wicket to the ionic duo Threepio and R2 and rounding out the squad will be the cunning Ewok Trappers as supporting units. Threepio and R2 secondary brings the first ever instance of a two side stance card on a secondary, a perk normally reserved for primaries. R2 brings a bit of a feisty punch while Threepio provides heals and a way for his Ewoks Allies to join the attack. Logray meanwhile provides bonus that will allow the Ewoks to be surprisingly resilient
Coming in alongside their follow Ewoks, is Leia and her band of Ewoks in the Ee Chee Wah Mah Squad Pack. This pack has the fearless leader of the Rebel Alliance joining the fight. The wise Ewok Chief Chirpa will also be joining her as an alternative Primary option in case youd rather go full ewoks. Following behind either leader is the daring Paploo and a band of Ewok Hunters. Though we didnt get to see any card reveals for this pack the developers describe the Ewoks as terrifying ambushers to start the game off but players would need to ahve a plan for the alter game as their numbers dwindle fast.
