Han and mercenaries

By landoro, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Been thinking a little outside the box about some combos and having used han in a smuggler list I think that Hans free evade combined with the black defence die can get you some neat defence.

Since there is not many units with black die in the rebel list I allied him to some scum. Let me know what you think of this, would it work?

Han Solo

Gideon Argus (because he is a great value model simply)

Temporary alliance

Elite trandoshan hunters

Trandoshan hunters

Elite tusken raider

Havent really looked at the command cards yet but will, any advice? Its not a perfect list I know, but hoping that the evade will help against both blast and conditions so i can grup them up a bit.

Let me know what you think.

Have fun

So played this on Vassal the other week. Played against Boba with explosive arment, Elite Trandoshans, Elite Nexu, HIred Guns, Gideon, C3P0.

The game was a loss, he pounced with the nexu early and I killed it, efter some more exchange of fire he managed to play Mado tactics with Boba who was focused, he targetted Han which rolled sub-par and he activated blast 2 twice which was a winning move more or less.

I took out the Elite trandoshans and damaged Boba Gideon and C3P0 but I called GG in the end when I had my normal trandos and a single tusken left.

The squad did not feel bad at all, Han is underpowered, he shold have speed 5 at least and an auto-evade, but generally it felt ok, good output of damage and defence against surges. I will try this again I think.

Would like to tweak it for more activations but not sure how.

Collective wisdom on Han is that he is very poor value for his price. Slightly improved by C3PO, but only slightly. The Tusken Raiders are also generally pretty weak.

Trandoshans, however, I love. I evendors often run the Elites.
