Merc List - Tournament this Sunday

By Spidey NZ, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Hi there guys.

i do not play skirmish that much. Im a campaign player, but i thought i would enter a little tournament for fun. I was just building a bounty hunter list for fun and wanted to share it. i was tossing up between different versions of hired guns, assassin droids and Trandoshans

Interesting list, though from my extremely limited playtime with Dengar he's just not worth he points. Only 2 attack die an no recover ability he rarely gets value for points, especially if you aren't running punishing strike to have the stun option.

Having said that what to replace him with is the real question, 99 times out of 100 most competitive players will tell you that you should play temporary alliance with gideon and C-3PO, and you could put the last point into changing one of your hired guns to rtusken raiders if you want.

But if you enjoy playing the list then play it as is and have fun

thanks for the suggestions. i want to run some bounty hunters, thats why dengar is in there. ill let you know how i do.

I've played with him (only once though) and he absolutely performed for me. But he needs a little support. If you downsize to rHKs then you have enough points to Alliance in C-3PO. That would be a great boost for both Dengar, Boba and to some extent the HKs.

HKs are probably more effecient than E HK's so you could drop those down and free up 3 points. If you want to keep the theme up you could drop a set of Hired Guns for some Trandoshans or if you wanted to be a little more competitive like the guy above was saying Merc lists really love Gideon and C3PO. This would leave you 1 point for another Skirmish Upgrade. Maybe Targeting Computer on Boba? Devious Schemes to get second round initiative or Last Resort on the Hired Guns?

I think if you bring HKs and Boba to a party, you'll have two long range damage dealers, who can't actually deal a lot of damage.

thanks for all the feedback. ill let you know how it goes
