New Player List: Jedi Luke and Leia

By AlexW, in Army Building

I've been collecting and painting for some time with just a game under my belt, but I just picked up Op Luke, looked at all my painted models and decided I'm going to dive in and play more. Besides the list below, I've got a T-47, another squad of Rebel Troopers, Fleet Troopers, Chewie, Han, Sabine, Jyn, and a squad of Pathfinders. I know this isn't probably a high level tourney list, but I'm looking for thoughts overall, what objectives and command cards that might be good for me to bring with the list to get me started. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't bother with Saber Throw on Luke. He needs to be positioning for the charge or slicing and dicing, not sitting at range 2 throwing 4 black dice.

Same for me, saber throw will be very situational and you will not take benefits of the true skills of like trying to deal damage at range.

Have you tried 'jedi mind trick"

I like this improvement as rebels do not have a lot of suppressive weapons. I always pair republic hero lukewith Jedi mind trick, and I think it is even better since luke got master of the force.

Master of the Force w/reflexes too good to pass up.

So switching some points around to add some things to Luke (dropping a heavy weapon) leaves me about 10 points. What would you do with those? Any upgrades anywhere else?
