So we have Kayn Somos coming out in wave 2, but we don't have a generic stormtrooper leader for skirmish builds. The imperial officer works, but doesn't have the same survivability. Would anyone else want to see this model?

I feel as though the Elite Stormtroopers fill out the role you are explaining. Yes, it's a squad and not a leader, but they do have a better survivability than the standard. Plus, you can add command cards in skirmish and have Imperial Class and Agenda cards in the campaign to take a group of troopers to the next level. While I wouldn't look down on a "Stormtrooper Commander", it's not something I really want to see at this point. If anything, I'd like to see some more Rebel characters to round out their generic troops.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about the elite stormtroopers in this role, although an actual leader would be nice. Of course I agree that the rebel and mercenary factions both need a significant increase in forces. I am assuming with twin suns that the majority of the figures will be the tusken raiders with only a few heavy stormtroopers. The rebel characters look pretty promising though.

Twin Suns from its description pages says it comes with 10 miniatures. So I figure the breakdown is:

2 Rebel Heroes

2 Sets of Tuskan Raiders, as they come in groups of two.

2 Sets of Elite Stormtroopers, as they come in groups of two.

That said I think it would be cool if the Kayn Somos came with a generic Stormtrooper commander.

Animewarsdude I'm fairly certain is right based on the core setup. Rebel miniatures of Biv Bodhrik and Saska Teft, four Tusken Raiders (group size 2, one generic group and one elite group) and four Heavy Stormtroopers (group size 2, one generic group and one elite group).

Personally I think given the number of Stormtroopers you deploy in a mission (usually less than ten) I actually prefer the named commander. There's so much more they can get away with on a unique unit than a generic you could spam.

Do we need a generic one.

If I'm reading the preview out of focus text correctly Kayn will have the trooper and leader trait. If you are going to run trooper spam you don't really have room for more than one or two generic trooper leaders. Runnning Kayn and 4 sets of regular troopers leaves you room for 6 more points, which you could flesh out with 3 officers.

So you'd end up with 8 actions 4 of which are leaders, 5 of which are troopers. Pretty good set up to me.
