Great idea!

Jensaarai Defender 45
HP: 90
Def: 21
Atk: 12
Dmg: 20

Melee Attack, Double Attack
Draw Fire
Force-Attuned Armor

Force 3
Lightsaber Precision
Lightsaber Deflect

This piece was my jam back in the day. He was the first beefy Force user I got. He's grossly overcosted, but he's so much fun to run in casual games. I also like his streamlined design: he's only got four abilities, but they're a nice package (Except Precision - EVERY time I use lightsaber precision, I miss ).

I think this is my favorite character in the game and probably always will be. The quintessential swiss-army knife. The corner stone of the most successful squad i've piloted and without doubt the most enjoyable piece in the squad. He begins the game as the real general, levitating and positioning sniper shots for your guns while advancing meticulously down the map opening options for further options or perhaps the final blow on a wounded foe. The 60 dmg double cunning is a nice 8 square killshot with djem so for added spice; possibly you activate it on an AoO, perhaps it gets you extra damage on a big foe or even stops a riposte because of fear of death. Lukes power lay in his potential to be over looked, putting big damage on Yobuck, snowspeeders and land speeders whilst the focused on Han, Leia or the ERC. Not exceptionally tough but with the right support evade and mettle can shore him against a significant ranged onslaught. Lastly, he is also not above being sacrificed. Diminutive enough that the squad can function in his absence. A timely kill on a bodyguard exposed luke to certain death, in doing so trapping the speeder to an ERC cannon shot that would doom the final competitor as Han, Leia and R2 finish.

My first army being http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/175974/genesis

Which I just named, I forget the original name.

Tarkin, the guy who could talk to Vader.. and Vader tolerated it.. awesome.

I loved running Vader into a room full of people and just going ham. Some great battles against my brother who thought his little rebel army could withstand Lord Vader backed by Tarkin.

that was fun to watch, but it was legacy vader not lord vader bro

This guy was the bomb when I first learned how to play minis. Lightsaber Assault was SUPER powerful, and those base stats are rock-solid even by today's standards. And, this guy put Grievous SC in the hospital every. single. time.

How refreshing. Does what a shooter does best. In and Out.

My first real battle of me knowing how to play was against Kyle Katarn and his grenades. Captain Rex, the faithful was there on Theed popping around corners going to town with his two shots and popping back around. I loved flying over people to shoot who I wanted as well. He was an Imperial agent at this time. Using some Tarkin to grant him extra attack. So he was dropping 90 a hit. I loved my Vader with djem so and riposte as well with opportunist
We got the better of ol' Katarn this day.

I used to discuss who was better Captain Rex, or Captain Rex, 51st. I was always a 51st guy because of flight and ability to be in Imperials. Obviously I am wrong, but I still prefer my 501st commander.

Hahaha one on one, usually. But when the general had his droid friends... hahaha. Remember when a Destroyer Droid actually struck some fear into the Jedi?

The original Thrawn,

I prefer republic or lightside factions with this one exception. Thrawn was my favourite character from the books and was overjoyed when we got a mini of him.

My choice is largely sentimental, since this unit was essential to me winning the Missouri regional way back in 2010, but anyway:

Elite Rebel Commando
Cost 16

Grenades 10 (Replaces attacks: range 6; 10 damage to target and to each character adjacent to that target; save 11)
Ion Gun +20 (+20 Damage against nonliving enemies)
Override (At the end of his turn, this character can designate 1 door that he can see as open or closed; it remains open or closed until the end of this character's next turn, or until he is defeated)
Stealth (If this character has cover, he does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets)
Twin Attack (Whenever this character attacks, he makes 1 extra attack against the same target)

I guess that I tend to like toolsy squads, by which I mean squads that don't do a ton of damage in one blow, but have lots of tricks, and this unit is pretty much the epitome of that. I also liked the sculpt compared to other non-unique trooper units.
