Looks like Mace will pair up quite nicely with Clone Commander Gree.

The new mace actually makes at-rts decent. 24 defense, 14 attack, mobile or a 40 damage stable footing charge from 16 out all for 25 points!!!

Also I'm not sure why the CE contains ARC troopers and not ARF troopers. A bit silly IMO considering that they served under him for the whole Ryloth arc that this piece is from.

Double checked, the CE is for ARF Troopers, not ARC Troopers.

Hey, there's a preview on Facebook:  24/45 Elite Reborn 25 pts (UC) Imperial HP: 70 Def: 17 Atk: +11 Dam: 20 Special Abilities Melee Attack; Double Attack The Empire Reborn [Each character in your squad named Reborn or Elite Reborn gets +10 Damage while it has an ally whose name contains Desann or Hethrir within 6 squares] Stealth [If this character has cover, it does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets] Force Powers Force 2 Force Push 2 [Force 2, replaces attacks: range 6; 20 damage; push back target 2 squares if Huge or smaller] Leaping Assault [Force 2, replaces turn: Move this character to any unoccupied square within 6 squares. This move does not provoke attacks of opportunity. After moving, this character may still make all of its attacks this turn.] Lightsaber Defense [Force 1: When hit by an attack, this character takes no damage with a save of 11]

Reborn just became better, and these guys look more like the ones from Jedi Knight 2, does this mean we will get a Lord Hethrir now?

Other than that looks good.

Or just pretend he just force pulled some guys blasted out of his hand, or maybe it's a blaster-shaped burst of force energy....?

I bet Hethrir is in this set... This guy really needs some more fp's, but Desann should help.

I dont recall ever seeing it grant a +4/+6 before. Clearly the biggest problem is the single attack, but 40 damage is good. I am not sure how feasible it would be to try and squeeze in an extra attack CE and something like greater mobile, which seems to defeat the purpose of receiving mobile attack from mace. Not sure how to maximize this, but it looks like its headed in the right direction. One of the other options would be a Bacara/Boga combo, but you'll probably only have 1 or 2 AT-RT's at most in that build, and fill out the rest with ARFs...

From SHNN tonight (hopefully my transcription is more accurate than last week's, apologies).

There are a number of ways to build around Mace on ATRT. Here is one that I really enjoyed in playtesting:
--Lightning Squad--
50 Mace Windu, Lightning Squad Leader
44 Master Yoda
27 Lobot
50 AT-RT x2
11 ARF Trooper
9 R2-D2, Astromech Droid
9 Ugnaught Demolitionist x3
(200pts. 10 activations)
Mace benefits from Yoda's CE, and Yoda isn't a bad option himself in this squad either. The challenging part is keeping 3 Large pieces out of LOS (and also close together, for the Synergy boost)...but stable footing and a range of 16 really helps them to get their shots.

CE: Droids excluding cyborgs are subject to these:
- Sep droid followers within 6 squares gain Accurate Shot
- each medium Sep droid ally within 6 squares may move up to 2 squares at the end of this character's turn. The 2nd CE is actually this: Each Medium Separatist Droid ally can immediately move up to 2 squares when this character ends his turn within 6 squares of that character. Trench triggers it by ending his turn within 6. (it's not extendable)
