Annihilation Looms

Having decided on a Rogue One themed game, I would be building my list around the Heros Cassian Endor, his trusted sidekick K-2SO and Stardust herself, Jyn Erso. First up Cassian was upgraded with his A280, Duck and Cover and Offensive Push, K-2SO was upgraded with Jyn’s blaster. Next up was 2 squads of pathfinders, one with Bistan, one with Pao and both with Duck and Cover and the A-300s. Not only do these units fit the theme of the list, but they are great fun to play. Since the points adjustment they are now in a much better place; Danger Sense will help them survive and Dauntless can be used to counter the high suppression to give them a free move. I just have to be careful to not get too carried away and leave them isolated on the board.

Jyn was upgraded with her A-180, Vigilance and Duck and Cover. I love using the three Rogue One Heroes together, Cassian and Jyn’s command cards are quite complementary and K-2SO can help protect and hand out aims/dodges to Cassian. Duck and Cover should help Jyn survive a bit longer and Vigilance is a must in any rebel list, I think!

To company Jyn into assault I choose a squad of Freedom Fighter Wookiees with Tenacity, Offensive Push and the Long Gun. This high wound unit would give me some durability and if I’m lucky enough to get a charge off before they suffer too many wounds, they should do well.

I then decided to add a squad of Ship Troopers, upgrade with a Rebel Office for that Courage increase and the MPL-57 barrage gun. This unit can be used as a good counterattack unit and hopefully the white dice gods will shine on my rolls!

With the bulk of the list selected I moved to my core units and my trusted Rebel squad with a Z-6. At 60 points they figure in most of my lists, 3 squads of these would give me a solid gun line and some objective grabbers.
