Wookie Legion

By Dlogue, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Not sure if this has been covered but with the new Coruscant set there's a new all Wookie squad without duplicates, which seems really cool to me. I tend to play flavor over meta.

Chewbacca w/avenger- 11

Gaarklan- 8

Drokk- 9

Wookie warriors-8

Fury of Kashyyk-2

Rebel high command-2

The rebel high command might be a bit out of flavor but I needed 2 points to fill, plus play style this needs it as only 5 models leaves little hope of terminal control. I really like how a tiny list like this packs so much character.

Strategy question: I know conventional wisdom pushes max activations, but in a list where I just want to go full ham, mid game against a 8 card list I would get to activate and attack with 100% of my strength before my opponent can hit 50%. That seems super strong to me.

Regular Wookiees are always better over Garkhan unfortunately

You'll need as many cards as you can get to do as much damage asap

Have you tried:

Chewbacca 11

Drokkatta 9

rWookiee 8

rWookiee 8

C-3PO 2

Rebel high commmand/rSmuggler 2

=40

5 or 6 activations and 4 of them can pack quite a punch

The biggest weakness for Wookiees is the Stun. Otherwise they're literally meat shields

I like this one

24 3x Regular Wookie (66 Health)

9 Drokkata

3 Gideon

2 C3PO

2 Smuggler

10 figures, 7 activations, 92 Health

or if you run 4xRegular Wookies and 1 Elite Echo Base, you have a list with 10 figures and 104 Health. 104! :P

I played against something like this a few weeks ago. It was super annoying as long as you can keep Chewy alive for a bit.

My initial thought on that is can you actually hit 100%? Can you get close enough with the Wookie Warriors/Gaarkhan to do damage......if you can can, how many figures can you knock out? I would think you would want to knock out a couple activations before they activate, or else your wookies are sitting ducks. Chances are with several attacks and and CCs, a wookie or two will be gone by round two, so maximizing your damage output quickly is the name of the game.

As I read through that it all sounds like.....well of course that's what needs to happen, but meh, that's my two cents :)
