Skirmish Clones-Rex n Friends

By BenBot, in Army Building

Heyo All,

I’m wondering what people might do with the last 10pts in this list. Grenades? Offensive Push on Rex? Upgrade the Phase 1 Z-6s to DLTs?! Keep the bid?

Thanks for any advice.

10 points is pretty steep for a skirmish bid so I would say either get a couple of fun upgrades such as like you said aggressive tactics on Rex and a grenade OR what I think would be a better option would be to drop one overwatch and downgrade the clone specialist to a generic clone personnel so you got the points for C3-PO with R2. With clones token sharing his calculate odds ability is insane and way too hard to pass up. If you don't wanna drop those upgrades tho, go with what I said first. In my experience 3 or 4 points is plenty of a bid for skirmish so grabbing some extra stuff would be nice

Ooh I haven’t tried C-3PO yet! I’ll have to try him out. Thanks!

I would say drop the z6 on the phase 1's and grab the DC-15. Always good to have the longer range options. That or put targeting scopes on the phase 2's. Maybe drop the specialist and get 2 extra troopers instead.

clones do not need range 4 because you rex 2 pip round 1 and your z-6 becomes range 4. z-6 is a better choice. I recommend a big bid in Skirmish since you get to pick 1 of 4 sides. This is a HUGE advantage that should not be under utilized. I would upgrade everything to p2's give them all Offensive push or Overwatch and put something on rex, I like jetpack + Offensive push. Rex is a fighter in skirmish, so give him the tools to fight well. If you play against a lot of droids, consider giving him droid poppers.

You particularly don't really need the range in Skirmish.
