Hoth Themed Wonder Twins gun line

By Jedirev, in Army Building

Feedback please.

I collect and play Imperials, but looking at a fairly cheap, easy to run Rebel list for mates/club pick up games to play against. Any tweaks to this Hoth Gunline. Bear in mind, it's designed for newbies.

The AT-RT is there because I have one, but that's probably the most flexible unit, and might be where to fit a Tauntaun in.

800/800
Luke Skywalker (160 + 10 = 170)
--Force Push (10)

Leia Organa (90 + 10 = 100)
--Esteemed Leader (5), Strict Orders (5)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 22 = 62)
--Z-6 Trooper (22)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 22 = 62)
--Z-6 Trooper (22)

Rebel Veterans (48 + 26 = 74)
--CM-O93 Trooper (26)
Rebel Veterans (48 + 26 = 74)
--CM-O93 Trooper (26)

Mark II Medium Blaster Trooper (38 + 5 = 43)
--Comms Relay (5)

Mark II Medium Blaster Trooper (38 + 10 = 48)
--HQ Uplink (10)

AT-RT (55 + 25 = 80)
--Linked Targeting Array (5), AT-RT Rotary Blaster (20)

1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team (70 + 17 = 87)
--HQ Uplink (10), Barrage Generator (7)

Commands:
Son of Skywalker (1), Coordinated Bombardment (1), My Ally Is the Force (2), No Time for Sorrows (2), Return of the Jedi (3), Somebody Has to Save Our Skins (3), Standing Orders (4)

Deployments: Major Offensive, Disarray, Battle Lines, Advanced Positions
Objectives: Key Positions, Intercept the Transmissions, Recover the Supplies, Sabotage the Moisture Vaporators
Conditions: Minefield, Hostile Environment, Clear Conditions, Rapid Reinforcements

Drop the heavies on the veterans and pick up Rebel comms specialists, HQ uplink and recon 1. This let's you deploy the mk2 about 9 inch outside your deployment of you can get them close enough to fire support Leia's bombardment it can be cool.

Drop the two uplink from the Fd turret , mk2 blaster and the comms relay. This let's you get a few more upgrades on Luke (or even let's you switch up co-operative Luke instead (which you can proxy with the same commend cards) , maybe throw some linked targeting array on the Mk2 , hold back your Vets to protect objectives while throwing orders out to emplacments. Use them to focus on objectives but if they have to shoot throwing 5 black isn't that bsd.

I would add a couple Tauntauns. They are a huge threat for your opponent, they are going to attract a couple turns of fire if played well or will absolutely wreck their infantry... plus they are on theme with Hoth!

I'm not sure about what to cut, never played the Laser, but isn't the stationary rule a huge drawback?

Range 5 means they can shoot your opponent from turn 1 unless they sit back and don't move.

All the times I've come across it, it's been a massively potent lane denial tool.

Fair enough! I'll have to buy one :) I guess it works fine with the Coordinate ability of the Veterans too.

Thanks for replies. This what you were thinking?
