Rebel tournament, wanna use specific units

By landoro, in Army Building

Hi all.

Going to my second tournament and this is maybe the list.

There are some units that I personally really like and that I really want to use, for example Luke, the full Commandos and the Fleets so they are most likely staying.

I basicly only have more Rebel Troopers, the T-47 and the upgrade pack if people wanna suggest changes, dont have more Tauntauns for example.

Wanted to try something more like the meta so using all supports I own and skipping some of the upgrades I really like using like astromech, medic droid in favour of naked rebel troopers and activation count.

Luke Skywalker (160 + 25 = 185)
--Hope (3), Force Reflexes (10), Emergency Stims (12)

Rebel Veterans (48 + 38 = 86)
--CM-O93 Trooper (26), Rebel Veteran (12)

Mark II Medium Blaster Trooper (38 + 0 = 38)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)

Rebel Troopers (40 + 0 = 40)

Fleet Troopers (44 + 34 = 78)
--Scatter Gun Trooper (23), Fleet Trooper (11)

Rebel Commandos (60 + 28 = 88)
--DH-447 Sniper (28)

Tauntaun Riders (90 + 4 = 94)
--Tenacity (4)

AT-RT (55 + 20 = 75)
--AT-RT Flame Thrower (20)

AT-RT (55 + 20 = 75)
--AT-RT Rotary Blaster (20)

I don't have a problem with any of this. I think there are some things I don't like but they are personal preference and usually associated with my terrible dice luck affecting how I've had those units perform. Some of the other commanders and operatives are useful as well and I really like using them (Leia and Sabine come to mind) but other than that I think you can win with these units if played well

One small thing is drop the AT-RT + a few upgrades to get Leia for a few reasons. Shes really great paired with Luke to give him dodge tokens to deflect and her command card No Time for Sorrows can help speed Luke into melee just a bit faster and her card Somebody Has to Save Our Skins can also be really helpful in giving Luke a dodge and then activating him right after. Additionally, Luke is a unit to shove up in your opponents face and slaughter stuff quickly. The cost of this is two things- he can die quickly if he gets some bad luck and a lot of time hes out of range to help give your units a panic bubble. Leia helps fix the panic bubble issue as she can help the other units and if Luke does happen to die you still have a backup commander and your units dont all panic off the board.

Than is for the advice.

Both of you.

The only problem is that I don't own Leia, or any other character actually.

Something I really need to fix. Just not sure which character I want. I really love Luke, my favourite character in the game so have not bothered with a secondary character.

Might change one of the naked troopers for the generic commander to at least get some support in the back field...

Same with you on Luke there he's so much fun

I'd advise against getting the generic commander though. He never seems worth hardly anything as he hardly helps at all. A simple fix to the possible panic issue is to not be to overly aggressive with Luke which is hard, but you don't want to abandon your troops. Then if he does happen to die you can nominate your commandos as commander. They've got the same courage as Leia so itd be just as effective. When I first saw your army I thought it was a strike team but since its the full unit they can work really well as a backup commander

Keep in mind, I am far from a pro player. I got about a 50-50 success rate.

What are your fleet troopers for? If they charge up to get into range they will be out front and naked with maybe the tauntauns for support. For 2 points more you could replace them with 2 naked trooper units. Maybe swap the fleet for two rebel troops and let the walkers deal with rushing troops. Just my thought.
