Luke, Force Reflexes, Battle Meditation (185pts)
4x Rebel Troopers, +1, ion trooper, grappling hooks, impact grenades (90pts each)
3x AT-RTs, rotary cannons (85pts each)
Thinking of switching a rotary cannon for a flamethrower on one of the AT-RTs.
Still haven't played yet!
I would probably take 2 ion 2 z-6. having to reload those ions will slow your troopers down a lot
I hadn't realized that the ions needed to reload!
2 and 2 sounds like a good idea.
Very similar to the list I am working towards, except I have 2 ions and 2 z-6's and instead of grappling hooks I have scopes
I am also looking at mixing up each squad with the different nades, 2 ion squads with impact and the 2 z-6 squads with concussion (ignore cover)
Still need to have a game and see how the list runs
I am running something very similar but with 1 z6 + 3 ion, fewer toys on my troopers and no force reflexes on luke, which lets me afford one more naked trooper squad. A fifth squad is huge for activation advantage and for objective threatening.
Ok taking suggestions into account I came up with this:
Luke, Force Reflexes, Battle Meditation 185pts
2x Rebel Troopers, +1, ion trooper 82pts each
2x Rebel Troopers, +1, z-6 trooper 72pts each
1x Rebel Troopers, +1 50pts
2x AT-RT Rotary Blaster 85pts each
1x AT-RT Flamethrower 80pts
Total: 793pts
I'm not sure what to do with the last 7pts...
I don't know if I'm ready to buy and paint so many Trooper Expansions but I know I'd enjoy playing them! ?
I'd drop 4 of the extra troopers for extra unit. It's always better to have more options for scoring the objective
Other than that, it comes down to preferences - whether you want some extra anti-armor with lascannon on one ATRT instead of Rotary or Concussion Greandes on Z6 unit, or Impact Grenades on Ion unit

Flamethrower seems meh. When it's good it's very good, but most of the time the AT-RT just dies before it can get into range. I'd go with another Rotary or Laser Cannon instead.
I've been testing a list that runs 6 troopers (4 Z-6, 2 Ion + extra trooper), Luke, and 2 AT-Rt Rotary. I've had pretty good results so far.
