We had some discussion last week on the GOWK thread about 150 point squads, and Weeks wrote the below:

Changing the championship to 150 only makes GOWK/Mace better. R2 tows mace into possition, mace kills 1 thing, game over. In 200 you can afford to spread your guys out and make mace attack 1 at a time. At 150 your pretty well committed to one fig being your main gun/beat with support spread around it, at 200 you can go with a few guys having that job.
The 150 meta is boring. 2007-2009 rebels are still top dogs in that format, Greg won the 150 at gencon with Lobbin Luke (the 2009 Championship squad). I really don't want to go back to that. At 200 the meta opens up to where you have a conceivable shot at winning with any faction. Heck, Sith made top 8 at gencon this year which has never happened before. Would Sith have any chance of doing that at 150? Probably not.
Keep it at 200.
I definitely agree with this - I think Rebels and Mace squads are both strong, but I was wondering if anyone else had ideas for what could work at 150 points. We have a 150 tournament coming up in a few weeks, and I was interested in other solid squad ideas outside Rebels and Mace.
