I am only a few weeks into Legion and my local game store is having a skirmish tournament next month. While I don't expect to win I would like some help putting together a list and discuss some tactics I should practice heading into the tournament so I don't get destroyed. I have a core set, rebel veterans, rebel commandos, rebel trooper upgrade, rebel specialist, operative Luke, Leia, and a pair of tauntauns. Any help/discussion would be greatly appreciated. I can also purchase more if needed for the right list.

Just seeing this post. Have you already had the tournament?

No we have not. It's being held at the end of June.

I’m in a similar boat. You’re not in Mississippi are you?

I’ve got a tournament here I’m trying to get a list for. I tested one yesterday that was fun but not sure it’s tournament worthy. However, it had Cassian, K2SO and Pathfinders which aren’t on your list.

I’ve got several lists on my list app they they all have a bunch of expansions not on your list.

You’ve got some good ingredients. If you don’t have it, look for the app Legion Army Builder. You can easily play with different combinations. Try to get a list with 6-8 activations for skirmish.

Tauntauns are good units but require some skill to play right. I don’t have that skill and mine died faster than Luke’s on Hoth.

Why don't you post a list you're considering and let us take a look at it and give some tips based on that?

With what I you’ve got I might recommend something like this:

++ Skirmish (Rebel Alliance) [489 Points] ++

+ Commander +

•Leia Organa [90 Points]

+ Corps +

Mark II Medium Blaster Trooper [38 Points]

Rebel Troopers [62 Points]: W/Z-6 Trooper

Rebel Troopers [62 Points]: W/ Z-6 Trooper

Rebel Veterans [74 Points]: W/CM-O/93 Trooper

+ Special Forces +

Rebel Commandos [88 Points]: W/DH-447 Sniper

+ Support +

AT-RT [75 Points]: W/AT-RT Rotary

++ Total: [489 Points] ++

I think it would be better to have a few more Corps trooper units of whatever kind you prefer. Using the Commandos as a full unit will help get some bodies on the table.

Its hard to fit Operative Luke in a list but it is possible! Maybe Operative Luke with the Rebel Officer as the commander would work.

Try it out and see what units you like!
