Pax unplugged6/4/2023 ![]() Our runner up Brendan brought a new unit to the tournament in the form of IG-88. ![]() Sacrificing heal or repair though could be a tough pill to swallow in some matchups. This choice does add another threat piece to the army which can be important. Instead of bringing a repair or med bot as is often seen with Blizzard Force right now, this list features a heavy weapon snowtrooper. This list isn’t doing anything too radical. This time we do see a Vader, the operative version. Mikolaj brought another Blizzard force, woot, all the way from Poland. This list also manages to bring quite the command hand with six very powerful command cards. This means you have five weapons that can fire at least range 4 which can really help to apply that pressure. This list also manages to bring four heavy weapon corps squads plus a sniper. This provides the army Inspire 2 which GAR often really wants. Some interesting tech in this list is certainly the copy of Lead by Example on the Pyke Capo. This list manages to get to nine activations while still managing a nineteen point bid which is quite impressive. Sam brings what seems to be some of the best things GAR can offer right now in Yoda, Padmé and Pykes. The one and only GAR list to crack the top 8 even managed to crack the top 4, rejoice. The first of our top 4 finishers is Sam McHenry. This can easily become a massive problem really quickly for armies that only have courage 2 commanders as two suppressive shots already are risking a panic. With some command card abilities that throw suppression as well as a lot of suppressive weapons you will find yourself piling up suppression tokens really quickly. ![]() The ‘sneaky’ idea of this list, though it’s in the name, is suppression. This list does start to suffer from attrition real quick though, and a few bad save rolls, or just pierce, puts it on the back foot quickly. If this list manages to point all its guns at you and is able to use them you’ll be scraping your minis off the table real quick. This list has a bunch of guns and wants to point them at you. What year is it? The first member of The Fifth Trooper Family we see in this top 8 is Evan Bulriss bringing a list that feels more at home in 2019 than now. There are also two great bombard weapons at Richard’s disposal to do damage where they see fit. If this list manages to get all its pieces into place and start hammering you it won’t be a fun time. In more seriousness though, Richard has put an interesting spin on the Blizzard force archetype deciding to drop Vader in favour of Veers and beefing up the snowtroopers. For a lot of the game, at least one of the key pieces won’t have an order and without Improvised Orders, a bad bag pull can really screw up your plans. One challenge for this list will be order control. This list is able to provide some pressure at range and can be super threatening up close with the two mandos. This list is also backed up by six competent shooting units: two vets, two MKIIs and two snipers. As the name of the list implies the stars of this list are the two mandalorians and the unit of shooty wookiees. ![]() This list is a bit of a mashup list which are often very interesting. Jordan Smith brought the one Rebel list that cracked the top 8. This isn’t even mentioning 5 wounds on a red save with access to a surge token per turn. The Black Sun feel like a very beefy naked fleet squad that is often thrown into rebel lists, able to do objectives and hit hard in a pinch. The Black Sun also hit really hard at range 1-2 even with no heavy weapon 5B5W with likely a surge token and a Precise aim. For 66 points you get a great objective squad, being courage 2 and also having dauntless. A relatively ‘standard’ SC list with the twist being some Black Sun Enforcers with Vigo upgrades. The first list to crack the top eight was Michael Henry with the one SC list. Minimum bid was 1 point and maximum was 24 points.Īverage Activation count was 9.875 with only one list being not 10 activations. ![]()
