Pure JANK

By ONEnONLY1, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

I'm playing in a store championship this weekend and want to just play for pure fun. Please help me build the most janky/combo heavy list you can think of that fun to play

7 eQuay

7eQuay

6 Jabba

3 eJawa

3 eJawa

2 rjawa

3R2D2

2 3P0

6 Onar

1 Black Market

All the good Smuggler cards, maybe a Hunter card or 2 and VP manipulation cards and Uttinni!

You should run all melee figures with cards like body guard parting blow and pummel.

From a Jank perspective I went for something fun. Making the opposing player choose between taking damage and pitching cards is always fun to watch. What if you amplified that as much as possible between the squad and the cards.

8 trandoshan hunters all declaring an attack within 3 spaces, so they take a damage or pitch a card..... but wait.... take Under Duress.....now they have to pitch 2 cards. In a perfect world, you've milled their entire deck by the end of the first set of combat exchanges.

If not, you have chaotic Force, which could cause up to 2 strain to 3 more targets. If the deck has been depleted that's a lot of damage.

If they come at you with Melee, uh oh here's a Dirty Trick, take three more strain or be stunned.

Maybe through a toxic dart, take a strain and a weaken.

Might be able to capture the weary and it takes 2 more strain.

If you kill a figure early and happen to have shoot the messenger, that might help mill the deck faster, forcing all of the strain as damage.

Whatever you decide, hope you have fun. I'm actually taking your mentality to NOVA. I'm not that great at IA, so I'm just playing the figures I like and going for fun.

Double massive lists are fun

I second this. You could try my “Prepare to Comply” list.

2x eRiots

4x rRiots

2x rOfficer

Zillo

Cross-training (could swap for something else if you don’t want to have regular riot spies)

melee command cards to taste

strain for days!

One of my sons' most fun lists ever used a Rancor and a Bantha. Here's a janky squad that looks like a lot of fun to play:

  • 12 IG-88 w FotK
  • 10 Rancor
  • 9 Bantha
  • 5 Tusken Raider
  • 2 Jawa
  • 1 Beast Tamer
  • 1 Devious Scheme

Two AT-STs, an AT-DP, and an Imperial Officer.

How about this wookie madness list:

Chewie with fix

Leia

R wookie warriors

C3po

Gideon

4 r smugs

Bring smuggler cards and wookie cards. Use r smugs as meat shields, trigger debts repaid, redraw with Leia.

That could be good in the current rotation. The smugs can be annoying as they pick up objective points, and Chewy and the Wookies will be a threat in the close up game.
