Now that we have a lull in our New Zealand tournament scene (we don't have GenCon here obviously!), I've been playing around with Old Republic Droid squads. With Bao-Dur, Tech Specialist being spoiled for v-set 4, I think they're at least a good chance to be spoiler tier 2 type squads, but I might be completely wrong.

Here are Bao-Dur, Tech Specialist's stats (from http://www.bloomilk.com/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=10626):
cost 21
HP 50
DEF 17
ATK +9
DMG 10

Unique
Destabilize Shields
Droid Master
Fire Control
Personalize Shields [At the start of the skirmish, choose a Unique allied character. For the rest of the skirmish, that character gains Shields 1...]
Repair 30
Reprogram

These are my assumptions for a Bao-Dur squad:
i) Personalize Shields is just asking for HK-47, while his Commander Effect is also very useful - so he's a good choice.

ii) I don't know if I like the idea of Bastila or not - there's already beefy Disruptive with HK-47 with Shields 1, and I think it's arguably better to have a couple of extra attackers than have Bastila giving everyone +10 damage.

iii) Lobot's a good idea - among other things, he can bring in a bodyguard to help protect Bao-Dur, if the other team looks like it has a way of getting to him, or bring in lots of 24 defense Mouse Droids if your opponent can't kill them quickly.

iv) Gha Nachkt is probably worthwhile - since you're likely to be playing at least 10 droids - and he opens up your Lobot reinforcements a bit.

So you have:
39 HK-47, Assassin Droid
27 Lobot
21 Bao-Dur, Tech Specialist
12 Gha Nachkt

So that's 99 points. What do you do with the remaining 101 points. IG-86s? YVH 1 (Yuuzhan Vong Hunter Droid)? Juggernaut War Droids? A YVH 2?

Yes, those. ;)

I like IG-86s/Juggs. (Could be worth building in tech so you can bring a YVH 1 when needed with Lobot.)

Too bad you can't get the new YVH in with Lobot. Solid option.

We were doing a droid themed skirmish at our league on Friday night and I ended up using the new Bao Dur, the newer HK-47, Lobot, Gha Nacht, 2 IG-86's, 2 Juggernauts, 1 E522 Assassin Droid, and like 4 mice. Then I brought in a bodyguard plus more mice through reinforcements.

I knew going in that the E522 was probably a waste of points but I ran it anyway. The IG-86's and Juggernaut's worked pretty well. The squad I ran could be upgraded considerably. Bastilla would be an easy addition to bring more damage. I will probably play around with it and see if there is some other good options to work in.
