Would you include:
Nikto Pirate (seen him used once)
Boba Fett, Young Bounty Hunter (cheap accurate shot)
Zabrak Enforcer (Overload can help make a good scissors piece, plus auto damage)
Watto (helps make enemy saves harder)
Prowl (targeting, but perhaps the R-4 is a better lower cost)
Devaronian Assassin (good attacker, but is he worth the Lobot slot?)
IG-86 Assassin Droid (another attacker, but would you include this over another attacking piece?)
Baran Do Sage (force barrior can be gimmicky, but it seems like it could be really worth it to me. Never played him though)
Ravenous Vornskr ( helpfull against the really popular Talon Karrde and Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, but is it really that effective? I have never been able to get it off myself)
Lando DS

Another reason for me... I like having squads built and on the shelf to play on minis night. I only have one Lobot, and choosing Reinforcements takes extra time anyway. So often what would normally be Lobot and Reinforcements gets turned into an R7 and mainlined into the squad.

If those squads went to a competitive tournament, Lobot would be added in most cases.

I'm not sure about Lando DS. Would you really add him over a Klat Assassin?
I don't know if I would.
But if you do then he will need added to the list

Ah! that is also one I missed! Good call.

I don't own a lobot, but I could see bringing in a T1 Bulk loader in certain squads (with gha of course). You get a more durable movement breaker (also works with larges). The T1 could also be handy for blocking heavy melee beats from getting at your pieces, and can do a ton of damage itself (unlikely to hit though unless you're in Seps). Never played a T1 myself, but its an idea.

Sorry for all my little posts, but the Jawa Scavenger is sometimes a really good option. You can nail any important droids like R2/C3PO Galactic Heroes or R2 Astromech Droid.

Garindan is a great little piece that i like to bring out when i need more punch. Stealth and spotter 30 is awesome.

I like the Jawa scouts for stealth and spotter 20. You can get 2, but often Garindan and an r7 is the go to.

Used these two reinforcement options liberally when running rebels + Ackbar SC.

Varactyl Wrangler is an interesting piece if you need grenades for cheap or some empathy.

Not so much these days but the Aqualish Assassin is a great scrub killer with a possible +11 for 20 dmg at 7 points.
Same with the Chadra fan.

Dark Hellion on swoop has applications in sith (transfer essence, great when free; target for sith mattle meditation) and as a large swapper for thrawn. Its a decent mobile threat at the same time. IF you have a squib he can also make sure your distant pieces get that CE you need (this is a very low probability usage).

The Chadra fan pilot is a highly overlooked piece with pheremones and stingbeam, especially if you have a pilot thing going on.

I think the Twilek VIgo and the Klat cpatain are figs that you can consider even if you arn't running optimized squads. Both are decent attackers.


If you play with Zayne you can bring in Elbee for a more powerful bulk loader :D

Love the Ugg Driod Destroyer. +8 att. and Jolt.

I'd probably give MTB more than a 1 as well - it's a very powerful piece, and when you do play it, you'll always bring it in via Lobot's reinforcements.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Updating now
