KOTOR Miniatures Preview - Darth Sion

The
next KOTOR
Miniature from Wizards
of the Coast that's up for a preview is the "Lord of
Pain" from the dark side, Darth
Sion.
Few
Sith Lords hold mastery over pain or hatred like Darth Sion,
Lord of Pain. His visage is terrible to behold: a decomposing
body held together by dark side energies channeled by Sion himself,
sustaining his life through the Force, powered by anger and
hatred. He is in eternal pain but endures it as a small price
for apparent immortality. However, in the end, despite his anger,
hatred, and manipulation of dark side energy, the Lord of Pain
could not defeat the Jedi Exile.
In the Star Wars
Miniatures Game, Darth Sion is powerful and resilient. He is
a decent melee combatant with Double Attack and a +11 Attack
score. His Defense score is a bit low for a character of his
cost, but Lightsaber Duelist bolsters him significantly against
lightsaber-wielding opponents. His cost is high, but with reason:
Darth Sion's most significant ability is Eternal Hatred. When
defeated, Sion may spend 2 Force to attempt to return to life
-- with full Hit Points -- on a save of 6. And he can attempt
this twice (if the first is successful), as long as he retains
enough Force for each attempt. When it works, this is like bringing
one 110-hit point character to a skirmish initially, then gaining
one or two more in the form of reinforcements while the opposing
squad gets weaker and weaker over the course of the battle.
