Okie, this is one of my newest 150 point squads, and I really think it packs a punch. Let me know what you think!

--A Commando B&B--
37 Grand Admiral Thrawn
18 Moff Nyna Calixte
51 Storm Commando x3
8 Mas Amedda
8 Wicket
16 Gran Raider x4
12 Ugnaught Demolitionist x4
(150pts. 15 activations)

You've got plenty of door control, initiative control, and strong shooters. You can play it like B&B (using a Commando as "Vader"), or just take pot shots at your opponents figures.

Right now the biggest issue I'm seeing is Vader Unleashed, but even then he'll have a hard time getting LOS on any of my commando's.

Maybe sub a Stormtrooper Commander for one of the Storm Commandos to bring them to a completely ridiculous level of Damage output. 10 base+Cunning+Deadeye+10 x2 = sick.

I would advise dropping a Storm Commando and a couple of Ugnaughts for a Noghri Commando. I also do not know if Wicket is really necessary. Overall, I think that SAK is about as close as we are going to get to the best version of a Thrawn / SC build in any case.

Yeah, Vader Unleashed will be your biggest concern as his Lightsaber Throw 5 can hit you even while you're under Thrawn's Ysalimiri bubble. It's pretty solid overall though. The Storm Commandos really are nasty when paired with super stealth and Thrawn helping you win init, nevermind the swapping into postion!

Yeah in my experience, that CE although seemingly good, never seems to work.



I can be tricky to get the rhythm going but you can get both Storm Commando's going with the CE each turn if you do it right.

Hey another possibility could be RS Tarkin. Play it right and get the triple activation happening.

With those suggestions, it is almost exactly the 'Swiss Army Knife'.
