Ideal safe ideas for consortium defense would to simply put a squad of Canderous tanks in front of a squad of MAL's (deployed) which is enough to create a blockade with a good range. Also this can be deployed on swamps and water. Finaly, defilers are under rated. An F9-TZ containing a full load of defilers can sneak in to a base and destroy it far quicker than Ewok handlers or a full on charge.
