Top 4 desired Commanders/Operatives for each Faction

By SirCormac, in Star Wars: Legion

Pretty self-explanatory! Just wondering what yours are! Here are mine:

Empire

1. Thrawn (Commander, obviously. Looking for powerful command cards and a weaker version of pulling the strings. Something like Give Orders: Choose 1 unit at Range 1-2 to perform a Move (not action) or gain 1 Aim, Dodge, or Surge)

2. Grand Inquisitor (thinking Operative, could be a toned down version of Luke with Jedi Hunter)

3. Doctor Aphra (Operative, with the bots as counterparts)

4. Agent Kallus (could be similar to Captain Rex, but as an operative. Empire could use a cheap, 90ish point Operative)

Rebels

1. Lando (could be Operative or Commander)

2. General Riekan (nice, cheap commander, like 80 points, especially if Leia ever gets a price hike (which she needs))

3. General Syndulla (commander)

4. Kanan Jarrus (Operative) would be nice to have access to a cheaper, Operative version of Luke with some tweaks to his abilities

CIS

1. Asajj Ventress (Operative, would be nice to have a new keyword, similar to Teamwork but called Apprentice: Dooku, when Dooku gains an Aim or Dodge at Range 1-2, you do as well)

2. Cad Bane (Operative, probably around 120 points)

3. Jango Fett (Operative, would be higher in list, but I don't see him too different from Boba, so no rush to get him)

4. Darth Maul (Operative, probably around 175)

GAR

1. Anakin (Commander)

2. Padme (commander in her episode II Leia-like garb. Would be cool to have Teamwork: Anakin)

3. Mace Windu (commander, cool purple saber, and his 1-pip would have to be "This party's over!"

4. Asoka (Operative, could have the Apprentice: Anakin keyword)

Anyways, just dreaming of more choices. What are yours?

CIS:

Kalani - Commander (makes droids under his command better; not so good with organics)*

Wat Tambor - Commander (improves weapons used by other units; can't fight well by himself)

Jango Fett - Operative (like Boba, has an answer for everything)

Asajj Ventress - Operative (cheaper jedi-like character, very fast; Nimble and some synergy with Dooku)

*bonus: generic Tactical Droids as Commanders for CIS would be really nifty!

In no particular order...

Imperial:

  • Piett
  • Dengar
  • Snowtrooper hero
  • Sandtrooper hero on Dewback

Rebel:

  • Reikan or something
  • Hero on tauntaun
  • Lando
  • Admiral Ackbar

Dr. Aphra and her Psychopath-bots would be very nice. More likely for a Scumfaction I think!

Grand Inqusistor and Brothers/Sisters would also be nice.

Simple I want all Charakters from all eras! : D
And I want Monsters like a Rancor, Akklay, Reek or Nexu!

I think I dont have enough Money for all this minis!

These creatures could be neutral monsters on the map, having tables to act (i.e. roll a black attack die; on a hit, it attacks an enemy unit at R1; on a crit, it attacks the closest enemy; on a surge, it does a speed-2 towards the closest objective; on a blank, it does Dodge and Standby actions) and/or used for PvE scenarios (players bring characters and have to join forces against monsters, arena-style)

But he was a Jedi. He won't show up as CIS.

He betrayed the Republic and sabotaged the invasion of umbarra, turning to the dark side. I think he could work as a CIS commander.

Operative would work better given he was a gar commander..... but he needs to wait his turn after ventress and cad

Only issue is that Operative is not the thing CIS will have trouble filling with all those bounty hunters. And commander spots for CIS I have no idea since each have a few issues:

  • Ventress (feels like she should be both, but which one first???)
  • The Senate (another strange one since he does a bit of fighting at the end, but do they really want to repeat units???)
  • Super Tactial Droid like Kalani (wonder if they will do something weird with these guys)
  • a CIS council member, but which one. Nute, Wat, and Poogle seem like the only real choices

Edit to add second Bonus: Task Force 99 could be nice too!
