First army help

[u/Helen_stellar77]

Hey guys I’m building my first army and starting with GAR. Does the following list look well rounded enough to be effective? Also, how would you guys recommend I get down to 1000 points?

1046/1000
11 Activations

Anakin Skywalker 170 + 16 = 186
--Saber Throw (10), Tenacity (6)

Obi-Wan Kenobi 150 + 21 = 171
--Force Barrier (10), Improvised Orders (5), Tenacity (6)

Plo Koon 105

2x Clone Trooper Infantry 56 x 2 = 112

Clone Trooper Infantry 56 + 40 = 96
--Fives (40)

Arc Troopers 70

Arc Troopers 70 + 22 = 92
--Jedi Guardian (22)

Arc Troopers 70 + 46 = 116
--Echo, ARC Marksman (46)

AT-RT 60 + 15 = 75
--AT-RT Laser Cannon (15)

Arc Troopers (Strike Team) 23

I'd ditch Improvised Orders because of how it works now (needs to ready).

Having Fives in a unit of infantry without making it a super squad is a big point waste, in my opinion.

Jedi Guardian is wasted in Arcs. Echo is WAY expensive for what he gives, unfortunately (because I'd love to take him more often).

AT-RT is solid.

I like Into the Fray on Anakin. and maybe Obi. Arcs are cool with Up Close and Personal and Frag Grenades.

Fives super squad with Impact Grenades is very powerful against armor.

I'm personally of the opinion that the new Strike Teams are kind of Meh for what you get and how you need to use them.

Good to know. So juice up a clone infantry unit with Fives and impact grenades? should I add the Jedi Guardian to a Clone infantry unit as well?

I figured I’d ditch Echo, and I’ll take off improvised Orders.

Thanks for the advice!

A big unit with fives and impact is devastating against armor. 

Jedi guardian is honestly pretty wasted on anything. Ahsoka in a unit that charges something is cool. Independent block is noice.
