For true fluff I wouldn't use the commandos...just ESG, SG and Argyus
The Wookieepedia article on Senate Commandos (
HERE) suggests that they actually would perform bodyguard duties if a Senator was required to go into a warzone in the performance of their duty. That's why I was using them, but you're right the Senate Guard would be fluffier for protection duties. Sadly, they are just more expensive to get the figures. Anywhere from $1.50-$1.75 per guard where's the commandos are only about 50 cents per. I'm a very casual player, and honestly, want to make as small an investment as possible.

Mon Mothma is perfect for the Senate Commandos, because they get a Twin death shot, for a potential 70 damage, which is pretty awesome.
If you're playing casually, then those last 8 points don't really matter too much. If you're playing competitively, then you need to drop at least one of the Commandos/Guards and work in some things like Ugos, R2 Astromech, perhaps Queen Amidala (give the Commandos Mobile).
I'd just be playing with a buddy of mine. My buddy tends to build fairly strong squads, whereas I have fun by building fluffy ones. Even if I get royally destroyed using a fluffy team (My Bespin Guard:
HERE and
HERE) I still have fun doing it because its fluffy. My Bespin Guard holds its own pretty good at low points, but tends to get beat by a decent margin in higher points (200). I'm just looking for a list that's fluffy, but'll give my buddy a run for his money so that we can play a higher point game and it'll be fun for him because he'll have a challenge.
