"Brain burn" list

By chiller087, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Ok, so I tried the 4x Trandos + Iggy and hated it. I mean it was ok, but really think Iggy should be part of an Imperial Droid list with officers to repair him and move him around. So I punted Iggy and thought of another way to go:

4x Regular Trandos

3x Nexu

Command cards: 15/15

Close the Gap

Counter Attack

Cripple

Dirty Trick

Element of Surprise

Fleet Footed

Ferocity

Focus

2x Merciless

Parting Blow (think I want another one of these somewhere)

Price on their Heads

Strength in Numbers (Not sure about this one)

To the Limit

Urgency

Thoughts? Should I bother to find a place for Take the Initiative even though I don't really have any useless chuds to exhaust?

I would get rid of "To the Limit" and replace it with Take Initiative. To the Limit is almost useless in this list, whereas Take Initiative can be an absolute game winner.

I'd go with two Elite Nexu for the damage w surge and free cleave 2.

I ran 2 Elite Trandos, 2 Trandos, and an Elite Nexu at Regionals and did pretty well. Just need to be careful and focus fire power.

Yeah, I haven't found the regular Nexu to be worth playing...but the Elite Nexu, on the other hand, is a total beast. Lots of fun to use.
