I have to confess right up front–I really like the Ghar Rebellion Faction Fartok character. His backstory and how he wound up leading the G.A.R. (Ghar Army of the Rebellion) is both dramatic and romantic in that brooding, Byronic, anti-hero sense–fighting for his fellow Outcasts to free them from their doomed cannon-fodder role originally under the Ghar Empire. His evolution from lowly Outcast minion, to Outcast Rebel, to Outcast Black Guard Commander, to stand alone Darth Vader-like leader of the G.A.R. is as compelling as any other character in the BtGoA universe. One could even designate him as the “El Jefe” in a Rebel Command Crawler, I suppose.
I have had a lot of fun employing Fartok’s talents and skills in various scenarios pitting the GAR faction against several other BtGoA factions. He’s expensive, but he is worth it if used carefully, I feel. His most effective role is his “Fabian” presence on the battlefield. He is worrisome and distracting just being Fartok, lurking “out there” ready to do something bad and decisive!
Anyone out there share my interest in the Fartok character? I would be interested in your stories and experiences with him.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
