Rebel list, with or without Impact?

By YuriPanzer, in Army Building

Hi there!

I have a tournament tomorrow and we know that the meta is trooper heavy. I'm concerned about Armor, so I don't know if just go trooper heavy or try to have some Impact, just in case.

What do you think of those lists?

What are you going to do with impact?

Don't need it for bikes. You should ignore AT-STs. Won't see T-47s. And you can take out AT-RTs without it.

@Brightguy Thats is why I was thinking to ignore Impact.

Just curious, how you can take AT-RTs without Impact? Crit picking?

Pretty much. Combination of not worrying that much about them and crit fishing. I like AT-RTs and usually take two, but I wouldn't tailor a list to have them in just to counter other AT-RTs if it's not to your taste as they're really the only thing that Impact is helpful for right now given the builds one tends to see. IMHO of course.

The 1.4 FD packs enough impact for most lists.

I concur. Between Z-6 and your Fleet Trooper crits and the 1.4 FD you shouldn't have to worry about Impact too much

Some minor points, im not sure id take emergency stims on the spec forces full unit. For the strike teams I like having grappling hooks so that they can more easily climb to sniper perches.
