I predict Autoblasters becoming very popular on the high initiative T-70s; if you can line things up right, you can be rolling four attack dice with your opponent unable to cancel critical results. This is a fairly straight-forwards list, Poe and Nien will do Poe and Nien things (now with added Autoblasters!), while L'ulo weeps softly due to his cost increase and resolves himself to kill things to make up for it.

EDIT: Would it be more sensible to drop Predator off of Poe and give him Marksmanship?

Edited by AceDogbert

Yes. Marksmanship is practically stapled if you're really wanting milage out of those 2 autoblaster points.

I've been playing around with Nien and autoblasters on fly casual and marksmanship is a staple.

That give you 3 points spare tho... adding advanced optics on L'ulo might be a good shout.

If we're going to go all in on Marksmanship...
