So I've been working on a Rebel Alliance army for a while now. Ex guard who've picked up some comrades along the way from around the galaxy. Looking for a brighter future. Want to make a cool army who I can also take to tournaments and ocassionaly win games! I'm at 1700 points but want to squeeze in some inquisition allies because they should make cool "Jedis" for my army?

Anyway, here is current list:

CCS
Commander: Power Sword and Plasma Pistol
Astropath
3 x flamer vets
Chimera

Marbo

Vet squad (human)
Sarge - 2 plasma pistols
3 x plasma vets
Chimera

Vet squad (mixed species)
Sarge - 2 plasma pistols
3 x plasma vets
Chimera

Vet squad (beastmen)
Sarge - power fist and plasma pistol
3 x melta vets
(These go in vendetta)

Vet Squad (kitbashed Tau as vets)
Sarge - standard
Las guns all round
(These go in vendetta for late game objective grabbing)

Vendetta

Vendetta

LRBT

Manticore

Tau allies

Cadre fireblade

Riptide (EWO)

10 x Kroot
(Go in reserve)


So thoughts on list appreciated. I've started work on some of it (beastman demo squad)

Do I need to lose a unit to upgrade and fit in inquisition?

It's not Guard without the Russ.

Vendettas as X-Wings, I like it.

But the vehicles and the Russ and the Manticore and the Riptide do not fit at all.

Unless you modeled StarWars vehicles from the movies or whatever, this list does not seem all that fluffy to me.

The Rebel Alliance would be an Air Cav army, look at Elysians or take 3 vendettas with vets in each and have that as your core. Then you take Sentinels as hijacked ATSTs or something. Follow that up with a Inquisitor with a force weapon of some kind.

I guess your list would only be fluffy enough if the models justified the choices (especially the ground vehicles).

So you're taking my fluff a little literally there. Basically it's a rebel alliance looking to be at the start if something and I want mystic warriors in the styl of Jedi who might sit in the command squad with the my company commander and astropatg and who Incan make synergise with my army to make them more effective (servo skulls for the manticore and Leman Russ are a good start - I guess my tau riptide can't benefit from those).

Oooooooo...

Rough Riders on Tauntauns.

Sidenote: The plural of Jedi is Jedi.

I was thinking about the forge world rough riders...
