| | 09/14/2005 3:39 AM | Alert | yhuzon vongs are an invader species from another galaxy..
in the novels.. they basically wipe out the new republic and almost had the galaxy conquered.
very ruthless species
nom anor basically played as a secret agent causing unrest and conflicts until the main yhuzon vong came into the galaxy

| | 09/14/2005 1:53 PM | Alert | Yep, Vong and New Republic are new factions that are separate from the others. You can use fringers with 'em (and you should, especially with Nom Anor...that commander effect is NASTY).
I think the reason there are only a couple figures from those factions is they wanted to hit all time periods with the Universe set, since there shouldn't be another huge set for quite a while. I'd expect a lot more of them in Champions of the Force. | |

"a while" is relative - the set after Champions is huge.
Still, with the wait until Champions...yeah, that is a while.
I will just have to content myself with going overboard on DDM... | | | |

| | 09/14/2005 11:01 PM | Alert | Fringe peace brigade and vorskyr fill in Vong ranks nicely.
The New Republic along with fringe refugees and freedom fighters works well thematiclly.
For me. This set will be the end of the line. I got plenty of variety for the older factions and I really don't want to have to build up new factions...mostly Skywalker, Jedi Master will gather dust as I stick to the original factions. | |

| | 09/15/2005 12:31 PM | Alert | | I'm looking forward to more of the Sith stuff. My friends and I like to do the ocasional mixed faction matches. I'd be interested to mix some diffrent Sith into an Imperial warband. | |
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

| | 09/15/2005 7:44 PM | Alert | They certainly are the movies I love the best but since the prequels have had two sets devoted entirely them for warband variety the prequel games are more fun.

I don't know- Imperials seem to have a great amount of variety... | | | |

| | 09/16/2005 12:11 AM | Alert | Yeah that is true. But the rebels aren't all that exciting. I mean they have some nice pieces but they still don't have much range.

| | 09/17/2005 11:26 AM | Alert | | No doubt name a Rebel squad that doesn't contain most if not all uniques. Though I must say I want everything pegged to come out yet. Getting the older Sith like Exar Kun, Darth Bane, and even Malak is pretty cool. Most of the Old Republic Jedi were kind of stale though. Yes we need more Vong and NR also. As for your original question Kith. If you play the time period you can add Imps to the New Republic faction. As for the specific factions just fringe right now. The Vong used other races to cuase discord for the Jedi. They went as far as trying to purge the Jedi from the galaxy again. Asking for all Jedi to be turned over to them and they'd spare some of the galaxy or some such. | |

| | 09/18/2005 10:12 AM | Alert | If I wasn't doing DDM as well I'd probably be keen on NJO factions. I really enjoyed the Vong books and a lot of interesting characters on both sides were introduced. Also with refugees and peace brigade fringe plays in very nicely with both factions.
As it stands though. I am pretty much done with SWm until the ship game comes out...please make it soon. | |

I would dispute the "not all that exciting" part [)], but will agree they are limited in range (if you excluded Fringe). But... that is how they should be. The Rebellion is about individuals fighting against an enemy with virtually unlimited resources.
You say they are not exciting- I instead see them as challenging. | | | |
