Clone commandos - “Republics Finest”
Also maybe 212th BF teaser or mention
Kashyyk and Geonosis Battleforce
#legion-general message
I guess it's this
but in reality, SWL 101 is spec ops core set. You want spicy takes? That core set is gungans vs geos, and that'll be the only way to get geos for a month or two
I really hope they do spec ops justice. It’s so fun
Hurt Cartel Battleforce in the future battleforces portion!
My speculation? We get more than 12 months of preview
i.e., we get some "on the horizon" stuff
gosh I hope so
Crimson Dawn added to Shadow Collective
- New Rebels vs Empire core box with everything in hard plastic.
- European worlds in 2025
- Jyn errata and/or a Rogue One battleforce to make Jyn & Pathfinders great again.
- SC Worlds invite player minimum reduced to 12.
Spicy
I think 212th bf. Bugs and bad batch release dates. New core sets
Jango Fett or bust
Solo: A Star Wars Movie wave… give me Enfys and Cloud Riders as mercs
i want cloud riders but I just know those flight stands are gonna give me an aneurysm like the swoop bikes did
I pray for Savage oppress for shadow collective. Could use the command card stuff similar to ventress and dooku, or Chewbacca and Yoda, linking him to Maul
Dust clouds instead of tactical rocks?
That’d be nice
Part of me wants a pose where they drag a foot to do a sharper turn
Highly likely its the bad batch. As empires elite seems like the inquisitors.
I'm hoping for some mandolorian love. Need to honor Paz Viszla.
I don’t think bb are the republics finest
I think the republics finest are the commandos. Strongest general units + most loyal as we have seen
Finest not meaning the absolute best
I don't think they will paint something they haven't even teased yet
We shall seeeeeeee. Probably right but I for sure don’t see BB as being republics finest
Finest would be a play of words as I see it. Nad batch was in gars time kind of a blacksheep
But they got the stuff done, and after order 66 they "mostly" withhold their morals
give me a bad batch battleforce. 6 models, 800 pts
Right which was where I think our interpretation of “finest” differs
To me when a military is calling someone the finest. It’s the most loyal and regimented, controllable, etc. not loose cannons
Clone commandos were made to be more creative and higher trained that normal clones but more loyal than arc troopers. They as a class of soldiers were seen as the best the kaminoans could produce. The perfect soldiers
But like I said I could be very wrong haha just my interpretation
I can see that too. That's why I said I think " finest" is a play of words. Or like a wink. I do think the bad batch will be the precursor of a general commando unit.
The Shatterpoint time slot titles go hand in glove with the theme of the expansions being discussed in that time slot. "Republic's Finest" doesn't fit with Bad Batch, nor does "Empire's Elite" match the Inquisitorious.
It's probably hard plastic Phase 1s and Stormtroopers
Empires elite is intriguing
Special forces battleforce for empire inbound? They’ll be painting ISF and scouts
i think they're painting inqs (alliteration) and 212th/Cody (fine man, that cody)
oh wait the quote's "good man, that cody". Nevermind Gungans confirmed
Lol the only alternative
I know people are hyped for the day gungans come. But man will I flip a lid if I don’t see commandos or ARF first😂
Ok considering on amgs website it says "special future release" under republics finest....that can't be bad batch....
Oooh, good point. I change my answer to Special Operations releases.
Rebels - Cal Kestis from Jedi FO (since new content with him this year) or the Rebels crew (new Ahsoka content)
GAR - Gungans and Gungan BF - 2024 is 25th anniversary Phantom Menace
New non-SC mercenary battleforce
too lazy to look up what CIS and Empire had new in 2021ish timeframe
Maybe CIS get Jango.
And wild card - maybe they redo some old plastics
Chewie plastic kit. Calling it
Empire gets another battleforce (free space)
A new leia and Han model I think would be amazing haha
Really hoping for Purge Troopers to go with more Fallen Order items
My real want is more corp upgrade kits for the second and third corps (more snows/shores heavies) but I 100% think thats not going to happen
Errata to strike teams that say equip: sabateur.
God please
Empire: new Hard plastic Corps of some sort maybe even two oooo, new Emps if we're huffing hope. As well as Vaders fist battleforce
CIS: CRAB DROID! Aqua Droids, Jango Fett, once again triple faction Emps if we huff hopium haha
GAR: Clone Commandos, Hard plastic Phase Is that triple faction Emps if we huff, possibly a 212th BF or possibly another maybe something of a curve ball like Felucia
Rebels: Cal Kestis? What are those spies? Bothan Spies? I'm not the best with Rebels knowledge
Why wouldn't it? It seems to me that it would essentially be like printing money.
Because it would probably be strange having hard plastic upgrades for a olden days soft plastics kit
So they'd probably be added when they update the old kits someday
They kind of do already. Republic specialists is hard plastic and has upgrades for the soft plastic phase 1s
@brave prawn when can we listen to this podcast?
When I get it edited
