Luke Eddy Confirms Bossk’s Point Value and Hints at a Future Imperial Corps Unit

There has been some speculation going around whether Bossk is valued at 85, 115, or 135. If you put your money on 115 you win the pot. Luke Eddy confirmed today that Bossk is indeed 115 pts.

Also while on The Fifth Trooper and Notorious Scoundrels podcasts Eddy stated that his favorite list so far to play test was Krennic, 1x Death Troopers, 3x E-Webs and 6x yet to be announced corps units.

Pretty exciting stuff! My money is on the long fan requested Shore Troopers. But only time will tell.

I had the pleasure of meeting Eddy during LVO and I can confirm that he truly loves this game, and is a great, stand up gentleman.
