intermittent stat card update 9

howdy!
here's a few more statcards from the backlog;
credit where credit is due, without the locals playtesting these and coming up with great ideas,
I'd not have statcards to collaborate on and make.
Great work team.

Above: Jawa Chieftan, a variant anyhow. v2.3
Costing is still being adjusted, but as soon as we get "Closed Ranks" and the CE's sorted, we'l re-up with the definitive version = )

Above: the name may be a place holder, but this concept is to be a generic force battery (for use in larger point games, where Yoda is not quite enough). The price point works out to be around 70, but,
we found even with Lightsaber Style Mastery, this piece ended up dying more often than not, so lowered the cost until it was competitive.

 Above: Aerial Droideka v 3.7, notorius from the Jedi Starfighter games series and comicbooks.

The Aerial DD is a tricky affair to price, because it has a couple of negative features to balance Blaster Barrage. Shields X as opposed to Advanced Shields or Reflective Shielding etc allows more survivability, tempered by Fragile which prevents you from shooting or moving at 24 squares...
Scarce Material ensures you do not have too many in your squad, and a base attack of 1 attack means this is going to be difficult to have high damage output.

Previous versions had Limited Programming (you can NEVER benefit from SAs or CEs of any kind for any reason), Programmed Target and Emplacement. We found nobody ever chose them over the regular destroyer droid, or the k-series droid or the octuptarra droid...

This variant should cost 42-47pts, but, by pricing it a little less, it will hopefully be just different enough to be something new to choose without being too broken.
These things were annoying in the videogames as many have recalled, so hopefully the miniatures variant lives up to that background lore hehehe

special thanks to devart user "Kogane801": your outstanding sketching skill are the stuff of legend.
(and, your other works resemble Osamu Tezuka's stuff)

EDIT:

 Above: an iron knight v2,

The iron knight was originally part of this set, but playtesting hadn't finished until recently.
Extra thanks to kogane801 and to Rex Moonwielder 1995's variant of iron knight for inspiring this revision.
This also comes in a regular saber variant which has draw fire instead (and is based more upon the Jensaari Defender)
