Triple Barcs-Who Let the Dogs Out?!

By BenBot, in Army Building

Has anyone tried Triple Barcs yet?!

I haven’t gotten my clones out on the table yet myself. I’ve only got one unit painted so far!

Anyone tried it? I’ve heard they’re a bit fragile but three has to be scary right?

Oh no! That makes a big difference. Thanks for the heads up. I guess Legion Army Builder has it in wrong...

Hmm... I’ll have to think again now!

get rid of HQ uplink

I've been running two barcs in my list and they've solidly been my MVPs in each game outside Obi wan

Here’s a slightly more legal version of the list!

You should be able to add Hope on Kenobi in there which can be really important for clones since you don't have many units and suppression can get them

Who let the dogs out? I assume your opponent, because after they murder your BARCs and Clones, they'll get bored and go play with some puppies.

Little bit more seriously, I'd be curious to hear how this works out for you. I'm most certainly not a fan of a single BARC, and think that two may be slightly better, but I think three is over doing it. That doesn't leave you with a ton of troopers to go after objectives, and Obi doesn't synergize as well with BARCs as with troopers.

HQ uplink on BARCs would work really well with the ion side car. You're refreshing anyway.

Looks pretty cool though.

maybe the setting was on balanced errata points...

I dont think anyone mentioned this yet but Force Reflexes has also been reduced from 15pt to 10pt.

Regarding the BARCs, I think just the Twin Gunner, or Twin Gunner + Comms Jammer, is their best load out right now.
