ImperialOfficer 156 Posted November 18, 2019 I don't have him yet, but any first impressions of armies built around Dooku? Running Dooku and Grievous together? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grievous, 6x B1, 2x Droideka, plus the obvious upgrades is a very easy 800 points. It's also very easy to sub Dooku for Grievous in that list (just drop some extra B1s).

You're not wasting all that many points either, so doing as he suggested makes sense if a double commander list isn't the goal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, Dooku wasn't out, so it isn't good tournament to look at for this argument Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B1s die in droves, and an extra trooper is an extra wound the unit can take before you lose the activation, and a B1 is the most defensively efficient trooper in the game, in terms of effective wounds per cost. And you can take 6 of them for the cost of 3 Snowtroopers. Which is not to say that you should take them, but I don't feel that it is as inefficient of a way to spend one's points. 1 Alpha17 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
