Looks like fun, just watch out for stuff like flame thrower, Grenades, Missiles, Repulse, cestas, anything that can spread damage because then they will weanken bane along with killing your bodyguards at the same time.

Only 21 activations for 500 points? You have 5 high cost figures in your squad. At these higher point totals, volume of firepower becomes more important that one figure shooting a lot.

If this is just ment to be a joke squad about boosting up Bane, then well done. You can read and apply CE's.

Looks fun, though generally, Sith are the least prepared to fight at this point level, while Republic and CIS and perhaps even mandos may be the best out there. Just, I imagine bane would die pretty quickly. ><;

Having all those twin attacks does not matter when you are defeating 3 point battle droids.

I think there might be a Republic squad with clones that does even more damage.

+18 twin for 20 each from the Lancers
+21 twin (maybe double twin if they don't move) for 40 (with the BD Sargent)

What attacks would be high enough?

It's been a while since I've been on Vassal, but I would be up for a match over Thanksgiving to prove a point. Your squad just does not have enough offense.

Heheheh, this would probably have fun with the huge charcters.

Star Corps do 3 attacks at 30 wo/40 with oppitunist, and a deathblow of 50. ARF do the same, only without squad firepower. All with 19 attack, 20 for the two republic commandos that just serve to be expensive door blowers. XD

Probably a bit light on the activations, but I like how it looks, and just add more clones as it goes up.

Personally, I think you are trying too hard to make a single charcter immensely strong, when at that point level, numbers of none uniques and solid leadership becomes more importent and individal strength becomes much less importent.

My army is an example of a fairly balienced unit, probably too many leaders coming to think about it and I could probably do without Either Obi/Double attack granter/some other commander, but really, it's got some seriously strong cannon fodder that can either kill scrub targets effectively with typically 3 shots at 3 different targets and another with Oppunist and +10 when killed, focus fire to kill leadership figures and have a element that can move across cover easily with huge defence.

For 200 points worth of none unquies, thats 4 shots X 17 = 68 shots at between 20 to 50 damage and that is not even talking about the commanders capable of fighting. Other squads, or armys as I may say, will have around or much more shots then this. A squad with over 250 spent in 4 figures, you are using a lot of figures that are simply too expensive to be useful when 200/300 points worth of infantry can hose them down.

The mandolores are simply not economical in this fastion, together in a Mandolorian squad? Most probably, as they have really strong infantry, but when all they are doing is enhancing a small number of Sith they are simply not worth the cost, easpically as they are incapable of killing more then one figure at a time. With 400 points or more invested in enhancing a small range of warriors, it's just simply going to be a blood bath via focused fire.


I am not saying don't use Bane, but at this point level, unique charcters become a great deal less importent then in lower point games. Personally, Raven in Old Republic would probably be better then Bane, as remember, the greatest scale combat he fought in after the Sith war at his prime was 3 enhanced Jedi at once. The current incarnation of Bane is only really suitable for small scale combat, while splashing him could be effective, he just does not do enough of a job that 82 points worth of reliable infantry could do.


I mean no offense by these words, just giving constuctive ctritsium about the way such point totals work. It's just going to be pretty rough unless both players agree to have an high level unique fight.

I think you should limit your Sith Beats and use only 1-3 of them and only if they can make up for there cost.

Like Revan will give you MT which will help in a large game like this, Sidious Hologram can give everyone force Renewal or the other sidious has a nasty combo with SAD or SHADs.

Here is a suggestion and it still remains a sith squad.

(500pts. 30 activations)

You have double overide and some helpful commander effects, everyone has +4 attack, your Sith Troopers and Guards are double, twining or Jolting, the SHADS are Jolting and taking 4 shots each then you have Sidious pawning for another 4 shots each. There shields help absorb alot of damage and you have two repair guys to help if people manage to get some damage in. The Kel Dors are to position if you happen to face any strafers.

Ahhh, cool, cool. ^^ I only commented because I felt it was nessary. Bane is a jugganort in 100 point games, but steadily gets less effective outside that area.

As I said though, nothing wrong with enhancing huge figures at all, just saying that the smaller boys take a life of their own in this format, where the grunts take on their factions strengths beautifully then, as the smoke from the first conflict dies down, the heros surge forwards past the battered troops as they follow behind the leader, eliminating all who come forwards.

Strong charcters still have their place, just in larger games, they are more of the commander or carlivary rather then the driving force of a squad. Which is partly why I don't like Mas that much, he just makes it really hard to get at the leadership figures, though being completely cowardinated armies, it makes sense that only they should have bordere wide commander effects.


But yeah, that sith squad just posted looks a perfect example, strong leadership, but also solid infantry. Personally I would generally have more infantry then Sith Assualt Droids to take advantage of the commander effects, but it's a really good start that mixes the Heroic (or villains. XD) with the rest of the boys. ^^

It was several years ago that I played my last 500 point game. It took about 3ish hours to play. Barzillai played Rep with tons of Naboo Soldiers (with Mon Mothma). I took Seps and most of my BD's were killed by the defeated Naboo's one last attack. My 4 units with DR10 took out his force.

The real issue is map selection. There is not any good 500 point maps.
