Praetorite Vong Priest
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_PraetoriteVongPriest_pic1_en.jpg

The Praetorite Vong were the initial pre-invasion force of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Priest caste of Yuuzhan Vong were those chosen to speak for the Gods. The Priests in the Praetorite Vong were likely instrumental in leading and establishing what path the Yuuzhan Vong should follow in the early stages of their invasion.


Sith Lord
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_sithlord_pic1_en.jpg

Throughout the history of Sith civilization, many have claimed to be a Sith or a Sith Lord, though the title was not necessarily earned. In the early years of Sith society, a Sith Lord was someone of high rank in Sith society. In later years, after the Sith reformation, the title of Sith Lord was comparable to that of Jedi Knight. In general, if you were known as a Sith Lord, you were known as a powerful master of Sith knowledge. Several Sith Lords took on the moniker “Darth”, for reasons that are not completely clear. However, many believe that the title Darth was a contraction of the title “Dark lord of the Sith”.

Praetorite Vong Warrior
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_PraetoriteVongWarrior_pic1_en.jpg

The Praetorite Vong were the initial pre-invasion force of the Yuuzhan Vong. They were sent as vanguards, preparing the way for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Yuuzhan Vong society was broken down into several castes, with Warriors as the military-minded members of society. Warriors were apt to be more aggressive and skilled in combat than other caste members.


Heavy Clone Trooper
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_HeavyCloneTrooper_pic1_en.jpg

The heavy weapons specialist of the Clone Troops was known as the Heavy Clone Trooper. Among their preferred weapons were Merr-Sonn PLX-1 missile launchers, blaster pistols, V-1 thermal detonators and HX2 antipersonnel mines. Heavy Troopers and several commanders used extra armor as well, most notably extra cheek plating and Kamas.

Disciple of Ragnos
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_DiscipleofRagnos_pic1_en.jpg

Marka Ragnos was a very powerful Sith Lord who ruled for a century at the end of the Golden Age of the Sith. After his death, his spirit lived on in his tomb. The Disciples of Ragnos were Sith cultists that aspired to bring Ragnos back to life with the goal of using his power to take over the universe. Sith cultists gained the Force by siphoning it from places richly infused with Force energy. They then used the Force to specialize in one specific skill, such as Force Lightning or Lightsaber Combat, with uniform colors based on their skill.

Youngling
http://wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_Younglin_pic1_en.jpg

Youngling is a sentient species-neutral term to refer to the very young; much like “child” is used to refer to a very young human. Among Jedi, the term was also commonly used to refer to the very young initiates to the Jedi order, before they were old enough to be taken on by a Jedi Knight as a Padawan learner, or placed in the Jedi Service Corps at the age of puberty.

Premières previews ;

Commander Ahsoka
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarAhsoka_pic2_en.jpg
Commander Ahsoka in the miniatures game represents the developing leader the young Padawan is becoming. Her cost is low considering her high hit points, defense, abilities, Force powers and commander effect. This low cost makes her a great piece to fit into many Republic squads. The Rolling Cleave ability she has and grants reflects her agility and use of the Shien lightsaber form.

Although she has a commander effect, her attack is 9 so she benefits from Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Trainer's commander effect. This boosts her attack to a decent 13 and greatly increases her chances of hitting high defense pieces. Considering some of the other followers that benefit from his commander effect, like the Dark Woman and Jarel, her commander effect is an effective boost for them as well.

Another piece that benefits from her commander effect is Master K'Kruhk. Using his Force Leap ability you can position him behind enemies without taking attacks of opportunity. If he successfully takes down his first target then he can rolling cleave to a second target. Although a risky move, he has the ability to possibly negate nonmelee attacks with his Lightsaber Deflect ability and even possibly death with his Avoid Defeat ability.

When using clones or other low cost range pieces her commander effect still works. However it is important to position correctly during the move phase to ensure that the benefits of the extra move and attack are not lost. In addition to range pieces, other pieces like the Wookiee Berserker, with their Momentum ability, greatly benefit from her commander effect as well. Because of the limited range of the effect, depending on the build of the squad, it might be wise to add Mas Adedda or Mouse Droids to extend it.


Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi General
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarAhsoka_pic3_en.jpg
Although not the most powerful Jedi of the Republic during the Clone Wars, Obi Wan Kenobi is the hero responsible for defeating Darth Mual, General Grievous and his apprentice when he turned to the Dark Side of the Force.

Considered one of the greatest generals of the Clone War, his keen instincts, quiet leadership and mastery of the Soresu form of lightsaber combat served him well and turned the tide of many battles thought to be lost.

During parts of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan wore armor into battle not only for protection but to identify with the clone troopers he led. He did not see his troops as disposable pieces to be thrown into battle, but treated them with respect and listened to their advice while making battle plans. This respect was mutual and the clones under his command served him well until the fateful Order 66 was issued.

Although he disliked flying, Obi-Wan was a very capable pilot and was known to use a jet pack when it suited his needs. With or without the jet pack, the Jedi was known to use the tactic of dropping in the middle of his enemies to take them off guard and to gain the advantage of surprise. He used this tactic at the start of his final fight against the cyborg leader of the Separatist, General Grievous.

oO Obi-wan est vraiment affreux, t'es sûr que c'est un autre perso ? xD

Non c'est bien Kenobi, c'est marqué sur la carte en plus.

Eh ben... Où est-ce qu'il a une combinaison pareille ?

Hondo Ohnaka
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarhondo_pic2_en.jpg

There are not many in the galaxy that can say they captured a Sith Lord alive. Far fewer can say they captured not only a Sith Lord but two of the greatest Jedi of the Clone War. Only Hondo Ohnaka can say that he, and his pirate crew, did that not once, but twice.

The Weequay pirate captain had a mix of traits that served him well but were also his undoing. He was very cunning and when he had the upper hand in a situation he took advantage of it. This included changing deals to suit his goal of making money to using a concoction to knock out those who thought they were his allies.

His greed and scheming ways rubbed off on his crew and affected his plans at the worst possible times. After capturing Dooku, Anakin and Obi-Wan and attempting to ransom them, his plans fell apart due to the back-stabbing nature of his crew.

However, he was not ruthless and seemed to operate under his own code of honor. The escaped Jedi captured the pirate captain but freed him after they realized that Dooku had already gotten away. Hondo in return told his men not to harm the Jedi and allowed them to go their way.


Asajj Ventress Strike Leader
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarhondo_pic3_en.jpg

Frustration was a feeling that this Rattataki Dark Jedi knew all too well. This feeling was caused by the loss of her Jedi master when she was young, not being allowed to be a true Sith and her continued failure to complete her mission, given to her by Count Dooku, of killing Anakin Skywalker.

This feeling only grew as the Clone Wars continued. When she tried to cause Jabba the Hutt to believe that his son Rotta was kidnapped by the Republic her plan fell apart due to Jedi Anakin Skywalker and his young Padawan Ahkosa. In her attempt to sway the Toydarians, she was stopped by Master Yoda and only three Clonetroopers even though she had an entire battalion of droids at her command. She was continually frustrated by having to work with Battle Droids who failed her at almost every turn.

She did succeed in making a critical strike against the Republic when she recovered Nute Gunray from the Republic's possession. Asajj battled with Luminara Unduli and Ahsoka, who was guarding the Neimoidan leader, throughout the ship he was a prisoner aboard. With the help of the Senate Commando Captain Fro Argyus, who was secretly a spy for Count Dooku, they were able to escape with Nute Gunray. Asajj repaid Captain Argyus for his help by killing him once they were safely away.

Deux previews :

Battle Droid Sergeant
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWardroidsergeant_pic2_en.jpg

Like other Battle Droids the Battle Droid Sergeant is immune to critical hits but it has double the number of hit points and deals double the amount of damage at four times the cost. It's defense and attack is higher also than the common Battle Droid but it is still very low compared to most pieces. But this is not a front line fighting piece; it should be kept in the back and out of your enemy's line of sight.

The Battle Droid Sergeant has a new ability in the game called Roger Roger which gives any non-unique droid follower within 6 spaces an additional 10 Damage. Since it is not specific to the faction, Fringe pieces that meet the requirement also qualify, such as the HK-50 Assassin Droid, ASN Assassin Droid and the IG-86 Assassin Droid.

Of course if you are building a Separatist droid squad you will want to include other commanders to grant droids other abilities and increase their threat. This piece's low cost allows it to be placed in squads with other commanders like General Grievous, Droid Army Commander, the Super Battle Droid Commander or the classic Battle Droid Officer and still have plenty of room to fill the squad's ranks with many droids, such as the Chameleon Droid.


Commando Droid Captain
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWardroidsergeant_pic3_en.jpg

When a mission called for more strength than a B1 Battle Droid but more agility than a B2 Super Battle Droid, then the BX Series Commando Droids were called in. The Commando Droids had better armor and programming than the standard Battle Droids, which made them much more effective in combat. However, these upgraded abilities came at a higher price, so as a result, far fewer of them were produced.

Like the other Commando Droids, the Commando Droid Captain was faster and more human in shape than the typical Battle Droid. Along with infiltration programming, the Commando Droid Captain had additional programming in tactics to better lead their squads of three to six other Commandos

Fitting the niche of a droid that has decent base stats as well as a solid commander effect, the Commando Droid Captain is costed to fit into most squads as both a mid-range shooter and a leader. His defense in cover is a solid 22 and, unlike Battle Droids, his attack is decent at 9. By taking advantage of his double attack and deadeye abilities, he is able to deliver 60 points of damage without any bonuses from other pieces.

The cost of the piece is reflected in the fact that he has the commander effect that grants Double Attack to other droid followers. This is not limited to just non-unique pieces or those with Commando Droid in their name. So unique droids like 4-LOM, Bounty Hunter and HK-47 can benefit from this commander effect as well. Since it is a commander effect the Mouse Droid can be used to extend the range. On top of that, the Commando Droid Captain also benefits from special abilities that affect non-unique droid allies, such as the Battle Droid Sergeant's Roger Roger ability and Gha Nachkt's Rapport ability.

Wat Tambor, Techno Union Foreman
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarWatTambor_pic2_en.jpg

A key member of the Separatists, Wat Tambor was the leader of the Techno Union and was in charge of the production of Battle Droids used by his organization. Because of the harsh atmosphere that Skakoans breath, Wat Tambor had to wear a pressurized environment suit in order to survive on most other planets.

Besides the droid factory on Geonosis, Wat Tambor oversaw production of droids on planets across the galaxy. This power of industry gave him a position on the executive board of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was the first of the board to support Count Dooku's plan of going to war with the Republic and the last council member to die by the hand of Darth Vader during the slaughter on Mustafar.


501st Clone Trooper
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarWatTambor_pic3_en.jpg

Lead by Clone Commander Rex and serving under Anakin Skywalker, the 501st Clone Troopers had been a part of the Clone War from the first battle on Geonosis. Clones that were part of the 501st Legion received additional special training on Coruscant and not on Kamino like most clones.

501st Clone Troopers were known for their ability to get missions done that were considered a loss cause. They had a fierce sense of duty and loyalty that helped them overcome situations that would have been the end for other soldiers. They continued their service to Anakin even after he fell to the Dark Side and became known throughout the galaxy as the most fearsome legion of Stormtroopers in the Empire, gaining the title "Vader's Fist".

Elles sont vraiment horrible ces figurine !!!!

C'est vrai que plus ça va, plus elles sont moches
Par contre le prix lui reste le même.

Erf, le clone est absolument affreux, mais Tambor est pas si moche que ça je trouve !

Moi aussi c'est surtout le clone qui m'a choquer puisque j'adore les soldat clone .

Ha! ha! ha! ha ! Je sait je suis nul en Orthographe !!!

Deux nouvelles previews :

Clone Trooper with Repeating Blaster
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarRepeatingBlaster_pic2_en.jpg

With a lower mid-range cost, the Clone Trooper with Repeating blaster doesn't have incredibly high hit points or other base stats. It has the Order 66 special ability, like other clone troopers, that allow it access to certain special abilities and because it is a follower it gains any other additional commander effects that apply.

The big element that makes this trooper piece stand apart from other clones is it's Quadruple Attack special ability. This is the first piece in the game that has this ability and it is not limited to melee attacks. In addition, it is the first non-unique to have this ability and not be limited with the Savage ability.

By itself, the Clone Trooper can take four attacks to deal a possible 80 points of damage. This piece really shines when combined in squads that enhance it and other followers. By using Captain Panaka, Mas Amedda and the new Obi Wan from this set, you can swap the Clone Trooper in place of a piece that has moved to an advantageous spot and then proceed to take five attacks for a possible 100 points of damage. At the start of the next round, use Mas Amedda to swap him back out of harm's way and prepare this line of attack for the next round.

Elite Senate Guard
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarRepeatingBlaster_pic3_en.jpg

Much like the Senate Guard, the Elite Senate Guard has the special abilities of Bodyguard and Heavy Weapon. At a slightly higher cost, he also comes with much more hit points and improved attack and defense stats. The higher hit points will allow him to use his Bodyguard ability for a 20 point hit for an adjacent ally and still stay in the game, something the Senate Guard was not able to do.

The Elite Senate Guard has one special ability that the normal Senate Guard does not have, Double Attack, and it works well with the other abilities. Because the piece can not move due to the Heavy Weapon ability restriction, the ability of not moving during a Double Attack is not nearly as penalizing. This allows the Elite Senate Guard to have the opportunity of dealing twice the damage of a normal Senate Guard.

Because of it's status as a follower, the Elite Senate Guard is able to benefit from many commander effects. Grand Master Yoda's commander effect gives a nice boost to their attack and defense scores, giving them a defense of 24 in cover that many ranged pieces will have a hard time hitting. The new Obi-Wan grants an additional attack, making the best use of the Heavy Weapon limitation. And there are other pieces in the new set that will boost that attack value even higher.....

Le clone est laid mais sinon le garde est bien (ils s'améliorent toujours pas pour faire des figurine de clone à ce que je vois ) .

Aqualish Technician
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarAqualish_pic2_en.jpg

A violent species from the planet Ando, Aqualish tend to be aggressive and hostile to other species and subspecies of their own race. There are several subspecies which have distinct differences, such as four eyes instead of the more common two and varying number of claw-like digits on their hands.

Although they are not a technology-driven race, they have learned to quickly adapt and use the tools created by others. They generally work as smugglers, thugs, bounty hunters and in other unsavory jobs that suit their unpleasant disposition best.


Treadwell Droid
http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_GalaxyatWarAqualish_pic3_en.jpg

The WED Treadwell Droid, or simply Treadwell Droid. was created by Cybot Galactica as a hardworking utility and repair droid that was built to last. Their name comes from the set of treads that it uses to propel itself while performing it's duties.

The base of the droid has sockets that allows their owners the ability to add up to eight appendages that are tipped with tools. The inexpensive droid has a long neck appendage that telescopes and is topped by a set of photoreceptors.

L'aqualish est très laid sinon le droide est pas mal .
