Focusing only on the Jawas, I wish to throw out the following ideas. Tell me what you think. Jawa/SW3-10/Jawa Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/Small base/Movement 4/Special-Recruit Jawa 15% 4/26
Jawa/SW3-10/Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/small base/movement 4/Special -Rally Jawa X2 15% 4/26 Effect-SWARM- At the begining of your turn if you have 2 or less Jawas (unit not faction) on your squad you automatically may bring 1 in from your backups. |
Jawa Warlord/SW3-24/Jawa Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 4/Special-Sacrifice Jawa 54% 14/26
Jawa Warlord/SW3-24/Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 4/Special-Shootback all Jawas (faction not unit) 54% |

Of course GE and I have brainstormed together and we have similar ideas. I like swarm as I think of Jawas as rodents. Jawa/SW3-10/Jawa Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/Small base/Movement 4/Special-Recruit Jawa 15% 4/26 Jawa/SW3-10/Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/small base/ movement 6/ Special -Refurbish (bring in a figure from your opponent's defeated pile) 15% 4/26 Jawa Warlord/SW3-24/Jawa Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 4/Special-Sacrifice Jawa 54% 14/26 Jawa Warlord/SW3-24/Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/ Movement 8/ Special-Shootback all Jawas (faction not unit) 54% Effect-SWARM- At the begining of your turn if you have less than 5 Jawas (faction) on your squad you automatically may bring 1 in from your backups.

I'm ALIVE~!!!~!~!~!
OK, to recap on the 10 pages I missed: I like Wookie Chieftain better than Champion. Good idea with the 'tribal' bit.
PROBLEM: If we go to a 'fringe' faction that's all inclusive of the Tuskens, Jawas, Bounty hunters there is a problem with resolution of specials since a lot of the specials state "Bounty Hunter Figures". Geeks like us know that Boba is a Bounty Hunter and a Tusken Raider is not, so we can't really combine them. I think we leave the Jawas with the Jawa Symbol, leave the Tuskens their own symbol, and change the specials on the bottoms to "Jawa or Tusken" so that specials cross the boundaries and in effect make them one faction but still leave them seperate.

I have mixed thoughts on combining factions, but I absolutely love SuperFly's suggestion of:
"...and change the specials on the bottoms to "Jawa or Tusken" so that specials cross the boundaries and in effect make them one faction but still leave them seperate."
Brilliant.
It makes a big difference though if we consider each figure as part of it's existing faction only or to be combined; for "synergy" purposes as Truth has mentioned.

Alright, I like this idea as well. Combining specials for Jawas and Tuskens so they have the potential of working together if they wish. Is anybody else going to throw out any ideas on specials for the Jawas? Hope you all have a great holiday weekend.

Jawa/SW3-10/Jawa Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/Small base/Movement 4/Special-Recruit Jawa 15% 4/26
Jawa Junkmaster/JA3-XX/Specialist/20 points/Shoot small missile/small base/movement 6/Special - Rally Jawa X 2 15% 4/26 /Effect- "Scavenge" - If you have another Jawa in play, as an attack you may take control of an opponent's figure Jawa Junkmaster is touching, then remove him from the game.
Jawa Mechanic/JA3-XX/Captain or Warrior/20 points/Shoot small missile/small base/movement 4/Special - "Rally all Effect Droids" - 15% 4/26
Jawa Warlord/SW3-24/Jawa/ Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 4/Special-Sacrifice Jawa 54% 14/26
Jawa Warlord/JA3-24/Jawa/ Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 6 or 8 if he is the last Jawa in play /Special-Sacrifice Jawa 54% 14/26
Jawa Crew Chief or Jawa Sandcrawler Chief/JA3-XX/Warrior/20 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 6/Special - Shootback Free attack for one of your Jawas- 54% Effect- If you have Jawa Warlord in play, this figure may attack on your turn without using one of your attack actions
I would keep Jawa SW3-10 as the 10 pt figure in addition to the 20 pointers, but I would replace the Jawa Warlord SW3-24 with JA3-24. If my addition is correct, that would be a nice 100 pt. squad.
Suggestion:
R2-D2/JA2-21/Rebel Specialist/10 points/small base/movement 8/Special -Recover Stand up if you have a Rebel or Jawa in play
We should decide if we are combining Tuskens and Jawas. The above is treating Jawas only.
9/2/08 - Modified per SuperFly's suggestions

Jawa/Jawa Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/Small base/Movement 4/Special-Recruit Jawa 15% 4/26 ---> Jawa/Jawa Trooper/10 points/Shoot small missile/Small base/Movement 4/Special-Capture Droid Army 15% 4/26
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jawa Warlord/Jawa Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 4/Special-Sacrifice Jawa 54% 14/26 ---> Jawa Warlord/Jawa Leader/30 points/Shoot large missile/Medium base/Movement 4/Special-Attackback: all Jawa (as in faction) 54% 14/26/ Effect: Captured!: All Droid Army figures captured by your Jawas gain the Jawa faction
I'm still debating whether or not to give the Jawa figure the Swarm effect as well.

The swarm effect sound like fun and appropriate to the faction. Something else to consider because they often scavenge droids maybe the could have a versatile effect that targets the Droid Army faction or Droids in general. Edit: Always good to read thoroughly the above posts, yes the droid capture effects are good ones too, the kind of thing I was getting at.

OOOh! I like this, but with a twist - Change the special to "Rally all Effect Droids" to make it thematic with a Mechanic...no?

Coming up with some great ideas!
Let's recap.
1. Do we or don't we wish to make specials work for both Tuskens and Jawas?
2. Are there any other figures who could potentially be made into a Jawa faction figure, like C3PO?
3. I like to idea of capturing droids, but are we speaking of Droid Army or any type of droid? Technically, Grievous wasn't pure droid, so would we consider him?
4. Some of the ideas about names are just genius, especially A.M.'s ideas on making them "mechanic" types. Don't forget they were peddlers as well.
5. If we are thinking of combining specials with Tuskens, do we wish to start talking about Tuskens now, or just wait until we're officially finished with Jawas?
6. Has anybody played with the revamped Wookiee team yet? If so what results did you find?
Help me answer some of these before we move on so that we can try to pin down exactly what we all wish to vote on.

Help me answer some of these before we move on so that we can try to pin down exactly what we all wish to vote on. 1. Yes 2. 3PO is fine with me, not sure about others. 3. Any Droid. Grievous is excluded because he's a cyborg. 4. Agreed. 5. Fine with me. If there is any simple way to introduce the Hett Jedi's into the Tuskens Faction without a crazy amount of customizing that would certainly help them out a bunch. 6. not yet, no.

1. Yes
2. Yes - R2-D2, R2-Q5 & C-3PO have possibilities. Medic Droid, maybe?
3. Any type of Droid, hard to exclude Grievous because he has a Droid faction symbol on him. (This may lead to a "too powerful scenario" though - in which case Effect Droids only)?
4. Naming can be fun, even silly, but serves the purpose of differentiation.
5. Talk Tuskens real soon if they are going to be co-dependent with Jawas.
6. No, but hope to.

1. Do we or don't we wish to make specials work for both Tuskens and Jawas? YES 2. Are there any other figures who could potentially be made into a Jawa faction figure, like C3PO? NO - They're not Jawas, they're rebels. They get STOLEN by Jawas, not converted to ...Jawaism? 3. I like to idea of capturing droids, but are we speaking of Droid Army or any type of droid? Technically, Grievous wasn't pure droid, so would we consider him? Effect Droids only.
4. Some of the ideas about names are just genius, especially A.M.'s ideas on making them "mechanic" types. Don't forget they were peddlers as well. Uh, this isn't a question - it's a statement =D 5. If we are thinking of combining specials with Tuskens, do we wish to start talking about Tuskens now, or just wait until we're officially finished with Jawas? Let's Get It On! (Hmmm... snap into a slimjim!) 6. Has anybody played with the revamped Wookiee team yet? If so what results did you find? I have all of the wookiees but I have not had any time to play...
