Star Wars Imperial Assault: Bantha Rider Villain Pack – Tusken Raider Expansion with Miniature Figure and Command Cards
The Star Wars Imperial Assault Bantha Rider Villain Pack adds a formidable Tusken Raider atop a massive bantha to your campaign or skirmish games. This expansion includes a sculpted plastic figure, an Agenda set for campaign play, six Command cards, and missions that require the Twin Shadows expansion. Designed for 1–5 players aged 14 and up, each game session lasts 1–2 hours.
What Does the Bantha Rider Villain Pack Include?
Inside this pack you'll find a highly detailed plastic miniature of a Tusken Raider riding a bantha, ready to trample enemies on the battlefields of the Star Wars universe. The expansion also introduces a new Agenda set that lets Tusken Raiders terrorize Rebel heroes throughout your Imperial Assault campaign. For skirmish games, you can hire the Bantha Rider to fight alongside your Tusken Raider forces. Additionally, six new Command cards add fresh tactical options to every skirmish encounter.
Campaign and Skirmish Integration
The Bantha Rider serves two roles depending on how you play. In campaign mode, you use the included Agenda set to unleash Tusken Raiders into your story, creating new threats for the Rebel heroes. For skirmish mode, the Bantha Rider acts as an allied unit that can be hired to bolster your army. Note that some missions included in this pack require the Twin Shadows expansion to play, giving you more desert battle options.
Tactical Depth with New Command Cards
The six Command cards in this pack are designed to complement the Bantha Rider and Tusken Raider playstyle. These cards can be added to your skirmish deck, providing strategic surprises that turn the tide of battle. Each card brings a unique effect, encouraging creative combos and unpredictable moments during the game.
