Hi,

My son and I got into Star Wars minis not long ago. He got AniSTAP in a booster and seemed to really like the figure. (Got a second by mistake, if anyone wants to trade BTW). It seems not too many others felt that way, but now that R&R’s Klatooinian Captain is here there are better possibilities for this Ani. I have put some squads together that keep the flavor of the period (he loves the Clone Wars show). I don’t know how they would fare against a YoBuck or GGDAC droid squad, but I’m not looking to win tourneys, just want some good games with my son.

All use Rex and R2; each has a different figure to boost Ani’s attack. Comments would be appreciated, thanks.

AniSTAP Obi

AniSTAP Qui-Gon

AniSTAP Tarfful

Thanks for all the responses! Smile Any comments on the Tarfful squad, other than add Mas?

Just curious how these squads rate as built, and how much higher they would be with Mas?

As a couple of notes on all of them - some of these points are more for competitive type games, so you can just ignore them if you want BigGrin:
- A lot of squads are now built at 200 points, as this is the level used at the official tournaments.

- Generally, you'd tend to see a few more activations. You pretty much want a couple of Ugnaught Demolitionists in every squad, and other small pieces like Mouse Droids and Rodian Brutes are often very useful as well. Normally, you're much better off swapping out something like a 9 point Clone Trooper Pilot for three 3 point pieces.

- I haven't seen anyone use Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master or Tarfful for ages. It's kind of cool that you're utilising them. Along with Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Trainer, who I think works with AniStap the best, the other options I'd normally consider are Grand Master Yoda or Atris.

- AniStap is fragile, so you often see him a swap squad, with Captain Panaka, R2-D2 Astromech Droid, and Mas Amedda.

- Having said that, this squad looks fun - http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/109694/dont-stap-believin--dragon-con-winner- - and it doesn't utilise swap at all.

I think AniStap has gone up a notch with the Klatooinian Captain and Qui-Gon Jinn, JT. He's definitely a stronger piece that when he was first released.
