After reading about the success Rustbucket3437 and a few others have had with a Leia, 6x trooper, 3x RTs, I’m gearing up to run the following Army. It’s topped out right at 800. I’d be curious to hear from anyone who’s been successful with this basic build what tweaks or trade off they’d make and why. For example, I love the idea a fire-breathing Wolfpack of AT-RTs running amuck on the battlefield, but I just can’t seem to give up having at least one long-range shooter. Am I wrong? Or maybe give up a few extra troopers for some precision?

OK, here’s the list, talk amongst yourselves...

Princess and the Fire Chickens (800/800)

Leia Organa (90)

Rebel Troopers (40)
- Z-6 Trooper (22)
- Rebel Trooper (10)
= 72 total points

AT-RT (55)
- AT-RT Flamethrower (25)
= 80 total points

AT-RT (55)
- AT-RT Laser Cannon (35)
= 90 total points

AT-RT (55)
- AT-RT Flamethrower (25)
= 80 total points

I've been doing something similar (2 fleet, 4 rebel instead of 3 and 3) and I've been able to wipe off nearly all of the opposing team's infantry by turn 4 which ends up making it really hard for the other player to score any points by the end of the game.

I really like the idea of three AT-RT's.

I haven't tried the flamethrower yet but I think I might next time I can get a game. I too am a little nervous about not bringing a laser cannon but three fire chickens in your opponents face on turn 2 sounds brutal. ?

I like the idea of (2)Fleet Troopers and (4) Regular Troopers but I'd need a 2nd group of Fleets and I haven't even glued up me first group! ?

Let us know how it goes!

Get aggro and focus on rushing your opponent just to see what happens. What's the worst that could go wrong? You lose a game?

I run a similar list.

Leia

4 z6 with extras

2 fleet scatter and extras

3 at rt 1 rotary 2 flamers.

Run the 2 flame chickens to their back line and make them focus on them. Use leia and fleets to secure objectives the z6s mop up units and speeders quite well.

I normally hide from vader and the atst until i cant.
