--Bug Swarm--
43 IG-88, Assassin Droid
27 Lobot

9 Poggle the Lesser
8 Wicket
6 Mouse Droid x2
3 Ugnaught Demolitionist
24 Geonosian Drone x12

Bugs swarm on juicy targets. Trader hands out Grenades to make the bugs explode. IG can quad, twin or Pulse Cannon for massive damage. Wicket helps the bugs to possibly hit something. Customize with Lobot for maximum benifit against opponents squad.

issue, if IG-88 dies, you're screwed. Otherwise, paring suicide bombers with IG-88 is a little...creative/unusual.

Pretty close. You can bring in a real secondary shooter, with Lobot though.

I also thought of IG-88+Poggle+Whorm, but with not so much tech. More people thinking of it independantly probably means its a good idea.  As stated above, IG-88 is the crux of this squad, so it needs a little something more, but its hard to think of what. Melee definitely isn't a good idea; its hard enough to get the drones to go off just right without having to worry about a beatstick of your own.

This squad will have major trouble with Accurate Shot and Disruptive. I originally tried it with San instead of the Trader and Bossk BH instead of Lobot. I even pulled off reserves and brought in 10 more Drones! Needless to say I was out activating out the wazoo then. Bossk was in there for his Flamethrower, as well as a possible Twin Momentum charge but it really didn't work too well needing to get right into the action next to the Drones. The grenades from the Trader is actually very effective (on Mouse Droid, Ugo, Drone) provide you can just fail those saves. It is so effective in fact, that IG's Pulse Cannon isn't even that necessary. My original intent however was to make a squad that used IG-AD. The same can be said for Whorm for that matter. Maybe I should take them both out and just add another trader and 26 more drones and hope for no Disruptive

most squads have problems with accurate shot and disruptive.

I played against version #1 without accurate shot or disruptive and it was pretty nasty. Anything with flight is also going to give you trouble, as the drones depend quite a lot on their twin AOOs for damage output vs. anything with a reasonable number of activations.
