Han & Chewie 800pt Bromance List Ideas?

By BenBot, in Army Building

I am starting to think about a Han & Chewie Bromance List But I don’t have Chewie yet and I’ve haven’t ever put Han on the table!

It sounds like the pair become a great push team moving together toward the middle objective. Han and Chewie’s command cards are very “control” oriented like the blue decks in MTG.

I am trying to figure out what to run with them?! I am kinda feeling two full Commando squads w/Snipers? I like running AT-RT’s w/Rotary’s and they could be part of the push team...

Ive normally run a Wonder Twins list I really like and I’m not sure about the tricky command cards in the Bromance list but the idea of Han and Chewie leading a group into battle sounds fun!

Something like Duck n Cover for Han, Hunter on Han or Chewie and Tenacity on Chewie? Something like that?

Any good Bromance lists out there? Ideas? Suggestions?

How about this?

Han Solo 120
Esteemed Leader,
Rebel Troopers 40

Rebel Troopers 40
Z-6 Trooper,

Chewbacca 110
Tenacity,
Wookiee Warriors 75
Bowcaster Wookiee, Tenacity,
Wookiee Warriors 75
Bowcaster Wookiee, Tenacity,
Rebel Commandos (Strike Team) 16
DH-447 Sniper,

Replace one of those Wookiee squads with Chewie and you're good to go, I think.

Chewies already in the squad. Hidden in the middle.

This is my current idea for a Bromance list. Looking at versions without Leia but I get worried with Han being the only commander on the field...

I played this in a match tonight against Palp/Veers and did well. Looking forward to a version of this one, perhaps with only two walkers, but with two Astromechs...

After the Specialist expansions drop this week the extra generic cards will help the Han+Chewie list. If you are wanting to run AT-RT's the new 2-pip can give them Inspire for a turn and the 1-pip adds even more control by reducing your opponents orders for a turn and allowing you to give Chewie an early activation. You could also swap out Change of Plans for Covering Fire and seriously double-down on Han+Chewie's Dodge tokens.

I've had decent success putting Esteemed Leader on Han, even before I had access to Chewie.

Heres a list im gonna try this weekend. Wanting to use han and cheewie together. Only table experirnce i has was part of a 1200 pt team game and wookies and chewie did work.

@The captn

A little feedback on your list.

Tenacity on the Wookiees isn't all that great since it only adds a single red die if they have taken a wound, not a red die per model. Hunter is a much better upgrade if you are determined to take one on them.

I'm assuming you are including the single sniper team and FD laser to see what they do? Neither one of those are good choices by themselves, really. You would be better off dropping one or the other and adding a second of whichever you keep. Or drop them both and add another squad of Wookiees.

The Frag Grenades on the squad of Fleets isn't horrible, but they already Surge->Hit so you would be exchanging 2W for 1R to change that to Surge->Crit.

I ran this list today and I liked it!

I think I might prefer to swap the 3rd AT-RT for Leia w/Esteemed Leader. I missed having all those dodge tokens...

I was worried about the Han command cards but it wasn’t too weird! Ran into Veers w/AT-ST, 2 Snipers, Royal Guard, and some DLTs. I took a lot of trooper losses but won on objective!

I was going to suggest something very similar to this, so I’ll just second this. Leia’s “Take Cover 2” stretches even further if she gives a dodge to Han or Chewie, while between Chewie and troopers, you can seriously reduce damage to both commanders.

My version throws concussion grenades with the Z-6 troopers, so that the Rebels at close range can have the regular troopers toss grenades for “Blast” while the Z-6 drops its bucket of dice. Add an aim or two, and that can make some very dangerous Rebels.
