500pts Dewbacks

500/500 (7 activations)
Commanders:
- Imperial Officer = 50
Corps:
- 2× Shoretroopers (52): T-21B Trooper (32) = 168
- 2× DF-90 Mortar Trooper (36) = 72
Supports:
- 2× Dewback Rider (90): RT-97C Blaster Rifle (15) = 210


7 activations feels good, but it's at a cost of some extra goodies. Dewbacks don't take Endurance to shed the extra suppressions, Mortar teams don't bring comms relay and Shoretroopers don't take Comms Technicians, but I feel the extra units might provide better value per point than upgrades.

I could also swap a Shore unit + Mortar, for a unit of RT97C StormTroopers, and a sniper team for roughly the same point value.

What do you think?

I would get rid of the rifles on the Dewbacks and add scopes (shore), relay (mortar) and endurance (lizards).

I must admit that with a 3" by 3" board, I don't think I fired the DewBack rifles more than once last night. It was mostly melee

I watched a battle report where someone ran two dewbacks with flamers in Skirmish and it looked pretty fun...
