KOTOR Miniatures Preview - GenoHaradan Assasin

    This August, Wizards of the Coast will release Knights of the Old Republic, the newest set for the Star Wars Miniatures Game. In anticipation of this, we will be previewing some of these new miniatures (complete with stats) for you gaming fanatics! Today, we begin our previews of figures from the set with a look at the GenoHaradan Assassin.

The GenoHaradan is a secret guild of bounty hunters, controlled by unknown individuals out to influence the galactic government and other organizations through selective assassinations. Their activities are so secret that it's impossible to tell exactly how much of an impact they have over galactic events. GenoHaradan assassins range widely in skills and species. They never reveal their affiliation, and their anonymity greatly increases their effectiveness. They are trained in a wide variety of assassination techniques, from the quiet and subtle to the spectacular and devastating.

In the Star Wars Miniatures Game, the GenoHaradan Assassin has an array of special abilities that matches the reputations of guild members. The new Cloaked ability prevents nonadjacent enemies from attacking the unit as long as it has cover. Cunning Attack and Loner give significant bonuses to attack, and they encourage using the unit on its own against a target that has not acted this round. Mobile Attack allows this sneaky assassin to move, strike, and retreat immediately. Finally, Poisoned Blade delivers a potentially lethal blow to living enemies, inflicting up to 40 damage, enough to eliminate weak to moderately strong targets immediately.

The assassin also may attack at range but is much less effective that way. The unit has an excellent Defense score and a decent number of hit points, allowing it to survive a few hits if caught out in the open.
