It started as M&B, then went to Maris and Blue, and finally to Depressed Chic.

Thrawn
Mas
Maris
Amanin scout
Mynock
Caamasi
x4 raxux prime stormies
gran
x3 ugs
150pts/ 14 activations

It can out activate standard B&B. The Amanin gives some serious long range threat for swap fodder that can break enemy lines with wall climber. The mynock can fly into tight spots and the raxus can wall climb into and out of blocked areas. Caamasi is there for cheap gambit gainer if needed. The gran is just another swapper, and x3 ugs gives me some decent door control.

The hope is to get someone into a nice pocket of enemies and repulse, but against big targets, Maris will quad and pray for good rolls. I dont think this build really allows for wicket.

Thoughts?

That's the whole squad right there.

I mean if you can't hit with Maris, you'll have a devil of a time.

Yeah, this is going to suffer from the same problem as Komari Vosa, and even Lord Vader to a lesser extent. It drives me nuts playing Lord Vader in a match-up against Jedi Hunter because LV's +14 can't consistently hit JH. Maris is going to have a devil of a time against JH, and probably even against LV, not to mention the fact that LV can do 30 dmg/hit instead of Maris' 20. The extra activations will help, but this will have to be played very different from a typically B&B build.

Should definitely be good against other swarm squads, and probably against the Nom + zillions of Gran squads we've been seeing, except for the fact that you won't be winning initiative. If you can pull off a long-range swap at the right time, you should be fine though.

Hmmm...+9 attack...23 defense on average...4 attacks...on average you will hit one attack per turn.

Those aren't very good odds, it might do well as a fun squad, but not competitive.
