Evolution of Imperial Troopers List
Post Body

Hi guys, so I've been playing for a while now but have been pretty busy the last few months so haven't played as much as I'd like recently. Especially given that I have a regional in two days!

Anyway, I've been a long time Imperial Trooper list player and even though Jabba weakens it's advantages a bit and the new Holocam mission in ISB Headquarters isn't ideal for swarms, I'm most likely going to roll with a variation of it.

Mostly because I love the new Elite Jet Troopers! Their mobility is amazing, they have higher hp than eSnows or eStormies and they get that bonus blue die up close! The downsides comparitively are no reroll (which is really hurts with blue dice, think its needed so I plan on rolling with Targeting Computer), can't be Reinforced, and no source of Focus.

After playing around with them a bit I think the pros outweigh the cons here and I can't see ever playing Imperial lists without at least one if not two of them in there!

Just throwing them in the mix of my old list I come up with something like:

  • 2x e Jet Troopers Targeting Computer (2x 7 1)
  • e Stormtroopers (9)
  • e Snowtroopers (10)
  • 2x Imperial Officer (2x 2)
  • Zillo Technique (1)

Which I think looks pretty good, definitely usable, but I also really like Terro, possibly just because of how much I like the Dewback sculpt! He provides some consistent AoE outside of having to draw Grenadier, lots of speed, pretty tanky though will get focused down fast (Feeding Frenzy would help, but so would Snowtroopers and Zillo Technique).

So given all of that I might go with:

  • 2x e Jet Troopers Targeting Computer (2x 7 1)
  • e Stormtroopers (9)
  • Snowtroopers (7)
  • Terro (7)
  • Zillo Technique (1)

Which I feel weird about because I don't think I've ever run an Imperial list without Officers. Would have to drop New Orders and Planning which are both really strong cards.

Adding back in officers though we'd probably have to lose either the eSnows or eStormies:

  • 2x e Jet Troopers Targeting Computer (2x 7 1)
  • Terro (7) Feeding Frenzy 1 Rule By Fear 1
  • e Snowtroopers (10) Vaders Finest 2
  • 2x Imperial Officer (2x 2)
  • Zillo Technique (1)

only one of the two italicized upgrades

Not sure which of these three lists I like best yet, may end up running any of them, each has slight advantages in certain situations. Curious to hear what others thoughts are so far with their own trooper lists! Cheers.
