Honorable Mentions

We wanted to shout out the other three 4-1 players and their list! Congratulations to them and their hard fought victories! Tyler Hatfield (GAR | 501st), Jacob Clemmons (Rebels | Flyboys with Chewie & Sleepers) Will Hime (Shadow Collective)

8th Place

Trent Hale | 317 Legion

Hey you might know this guy! Trent had a great showing with one of his favorite units lately, Bug-Man McGee (also known as Sun Fac)! Trent is a great player from the Indianapolis area and even carpooled with us down.

This list is surprisingly mobile, throws a lot of dice and has Aquas. This army continues it's animal wild life theme with a crab and snail. Also nearly a Highlander list further making each unit be able to do it's own thing to help win the game.

7th Place

Matt Evans "FlawedZombie" | Indy Garrison

Hey guuuurl, that's me. I have been pretty excited to play Bright Tree and have been loving discovering the complexities of how they play. Arboreal Assault is an amazing card that often swung the game in my favor and the control of Reckless Diversion was essential to funnel the higher dice pools of my opponents into my naked corp ewoks.

I was very happy with my finish of 4-1 and my only loss being to Justin. Yub Nub!!

6th Place

Adam Knauff | Indy Garrison

15 activations of rebel firepower here. Adam is our least competitive, competitive player (inside joke) and I was incredibly excited to get him out to a major event with us. Adam went 4-1 bringing almost all of the new rebel toys. This list runs wide and doesn't loss much ability to focus fire or throw dice when it does that. Jyn, Lando & Cassian K2 bring so much flexibility on the board and with the command cards.

5th Place

Nathan Morgan | Tennessee Volunteer Legion

Range 4 is the superior range band is really the theme of this list. With 7 range four units and the alpha strike of Aquas this list wants to mow down your bodies before you get there.

Great job to Nathan making it to 5th place!

4th Place

Goose Gieseking | Winston Womp Rats

General Grevious AND an AAT. Wow this list really utilizes some of the new changes with some now very good units. This list has kind of a split with it's Grevious B2's fire team and the AAT hanging in the back to pepper fire into the enemy. Great job to Goose for making top 4.

3rd Place

Kentucky Dan | Crit2Block

Congratulations to Dan for making 3rd! He went 4-1 over the weekend with his only loss being into murder bears (Yub Nub).

Between the Arcs with medics and the Clone Commando's defensive castle this list doesn't want to let you give it wounds. Meanwhile Ahsoka can run in and be a harrasser while the closes slowly move up and mulch you with fist fulls of dice.

2nd Place

Richard Lavery | Crit2Block

Cody & a LAAT?!?!? What year is this! We often do say that knowing your units and what they can do is more important than playing the META units. This is a great case for this as Richard had a great showing with a bit of an uncanny list going 5-0 with Cody, Unit Ahsoka and LAAT Gunship.

The LAAT drops off ahsoka and the clones can stay in the back and pelt. Congratulations Richard.

1st Place

Justin Fleming | Rocket City Rogues

It's Dooku Aquas with a flavor of Crab and Geonosians. This is a pretty classic list right now. The Geonosians get a big alpha strike ability with the crab scout and the Aquas can do their air strike thing round 1. Dooku works as your Jedi/Arc counter and overall it's a flexible list with a lot of options. Congratulations to Justin going 5-0!
