How many troopers and saboteurs?

By VanorDM, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Just curious, those are the only two that seem like they may be worth buying more than 1 of. I know we don't know everything about them yet, but I've not really played much in the way of skirmishes yet so I'm not sure how useful 2-3 Rebel Troopers or Saboteurs would actually be.

I plan on getting at least 1 of everything and very likely 2 troopers, just not sure if a 3rd pack of the troopers or a 2nd or 3rd pack of the saboteurs is worth it.

I've ordered 2x saboteurs and 1x troopers.

I'm likely getting 2 of each myself, but I don't see a need for 3.

I will also be getting two of each for now. I don't see myself playing more than that, not realistically anyway.

I'm getting 2 of each to start. I might go 3 of each for some really wacky builds. I could see going 4 for the Rebel Troopers if you wanted to try the Rebel equivalent of the Trooper swarm.

I am curious to see what the Elite version of the Rebel Saboteurs look like.

Yea, ditto. I already have lists that use 2xSaboteurs so that's a pretty easy call for me. While I don't forsee needing more than one unit of Troopers in most cases, I figure I may in the future and one more pack is not a big deal. I would only get 3 of either if something crazy happened.

I will be getting x4 of the saboteurs so I can run a all Spy Deck with Gideon/Luke. Would get x6 but really think the Saboteurs need Luke.I pre Ordered x2

Since We will be running weekly Store credit tournaments I dont think this is crazy lol.

Elite Rebel Saboteursx2 14

Rebel Saboteursx2 10

Luke 10

Mak 3

Gideon 3

I'll probably do the same, in an attempt to make the Rebel's numbers match the Empire's.

Saboteurs = Royal Guards

Troopers = Stormtroopers

I'd probably get two of each so you can have a normal and elite squad painted.

If I had more disposable income, I'd be running:

4x Rebel Troopers

Fenn Signis

Gideon

(Mak or Rebel High Command and Balance of the Force)

Enough activations to get objectives, and enough firepower to take down an enemy.

2 of each for me. Thats seems like it will be good

You would for all of 1 game then realize that spamming basic Troopers is a very bad idea. LOS alone makes it really problematic, and Vader laughs at this list, since nothing in here can really hurt him and he can massacre troopers by himself.

I don't recommend buying 4 troopers, at least not for this list. I guess you could say it is lucky you don't have the disposable income in this case =).
