What to buy next - Rebels

By Jman444, in Army Building

I'm an Imperial player with a pretty full army, every expansion so far with multiples of some but I havent played enough games to get a feel for what Rebel expansions to buy next.

Not planning on playing Rebels much myself but I'd like to have a decent sized force / selection in case friends/family want to play and they decide they want to use my Imps ;)

I have:

--Luke

--Leia

--Rebel troopers x 3

--Fleet troopers x 1

--At RT x 1

--T-47 x 1

Just curious on what the community thought I should get next.

I was thinking another AT-RT, Rebel Commandos and an FD turret (I really like the model) from whats currently available to buy. But any other ideas are helpful.

I want to say Han, but Han is my favorite commander.

Realistically, I'd say another AT-RT and 2 Rebel Commando Boxes. Albeit, if money's a concern, you could do AT-RT / 1 Rebel Commando Box / 1 FD Turret.

Fleets will become more and more popular with more melee units imo.

Commandos for sure. 2 Atrt are better than 1 FD and 1 AtRt imo.

I really don't like Han that much although i see how he can be annoying if played right. I thinl Leia is awesome and intuitive to play. Han wastes time trying to get into range and then usually overextends himself or rerolls poorly and dies too easily to make his points back

That’s why we now get to glue chewie (not literally, still must be separate models) to Han. Guardian 3 should help Han live long enough to get your investment back, assuming you’re hitting the right target. Han+Chewie aren’t going take down any At-Sts, but should be able to reasonably take on an infantry or commando squad.

Have you looked at getting a second core set?

With 3 Rebel troopers already it might not be as efficient an investment but if you want a 2nd AT-RT and some more Troopers you can opt for the 2nd core and get more dice and range rulers as well. Not to mention more Stormtroopers and Speeder Bikes if you haven’t got max number of squads for them yet...

Otherwise Commandos are fun. And I am a big fan of AT-RT’s so 2 or even 3 of those are fun!
