Love this idea. I hadn't thought about esteemed leader and Wookies

You can't use esteemed on Wookiees, since they aren't a corps unit.

Offensively, their role is very similar to Fleets. They are however tougher, more mobile, more resistant to suppression, and very good in melee. I think there is room in a Rebel list for both; currently my plan is to run one of each.

Yeah, i didn't mean you were argumentative, but more you could make an argument against buying the emperor and royal guard, but the Wookiees and Chewbacca offer something new at least. That run & gun style may not suit you.

Sorry, sometimes the speech to text doesn't translate well to posts.

Wookiees can act as honor guardians. I'm afraid of the black dice im melee. I actually like Chewbacca but i feel like I'm paying too much for the Han ability. Check out Chewie's melee ability. That with CHARGE would be awesome

Doh, I fail at skimming for key word =/

I love the feel and look of the wookies but I am only going to get 1 pack, I like having different units so going to play the commandos as my other special forces.

I like discussing a unit and if its performance, there are so many opinions.
Most of it comes down to how effetive a unit is and how cool it is. Both are subjective of course but some things are often agreed upon. When it comes to the wookies I absolutley see a place for them in my list. I like haveing diffrent units, I think they will complement Luke, my sab strike team and flamer At-Rts well, all of thses units wants to get close.

Have tested them twice with a full unit and they were great then, never fired the bowcaster but did not regret having the 4th model, it is extra health and extra attack dice.
I think that wookies need that 4th model to continue being a threat after they take that first casualty. 3 wookies are still dangerous but 2 wookies, well still dangerous, but get bumped on the priority chart. I think you want them high on the priority list so they can take the heat of other units.

I personally skipped the 1.4 Lase Cannon since it did not suit my playstyle and I am not a huge fan om the model. If you feel like the wookies dont fit you then skip them.

Have fun

I’m converting mine into a wampa commando squad because that makes as much sense as a bunch of free nameless Wookiee in the GCW.
