Rate this Imperial List

By S4tosh1, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Hello there. I am trying to do a list for imps that isn't Vader fist or Royal Guard spam, with the pieces i found i like by playing them in the campaign. My idea is:

- Elite E-Web 8

- Regular E-Web 6

- AT-ST 14

- Regular Stormtrooper 6 (x2)

What do you think about this? I've only played this once and Lost, but i'm fairly sure it has more to do with how i handled the mission ( the ship one in mos esley) rather than on the list flaws.

I can Use pieces from 1 core set only, could eventually get Weiss and RGC but a second core is a no-go.

Thanks in advance :)

Drop the elite E web to another E-Web or storm trooper and add in an imperial officer to help with action economy. This will also give you 6 deployment cads for more activation :)

That's something i would like to do, but unfortunately there is only 1 Regular E-Web and 2 Regular Stormtroopers in the core :(

It looks fun do you have a command deck planned out seeing that is where we could probably make the most tweaks. I agree above that adding in some officers would help a lot though. Maybe drop the regular e-web for an officer and probe droid, or the elite e-web for two officers and a probe droid.

Deck i was using :
Fleet Footed
Expose Weakness
To The Limit
Take Cover
Planning
Marksman
Rally
Deadeye
Celebration
Take Initiative
Urgency
MAximum Firepower
Element of Surprise
Covering Fire
Recovery

maybe take out a Stormtrooper squad and either upgrade the last one to an elite stormtrooper squad and an officer or fill the rest of the points with officers, or one elite officer

I will not play the At-St without a elite Officers

I will not play the At-St without a elite Officers

Why elite over 2 regular officers?

Also, what about this one ?

AT-ST

Regular Imperial Officer (x2)

Regular E-Web

Elite E-Web

Regular Royal Guard

(Maybe i could switch one E-Web for a Stormtrooper card for mobile objectives?)

The elites give the At-St an extra attack which can be big. I played one squad that had two of them in a squad. Was able to play strength in Numbers and get off two attacks with the At-st and do blast 3(EW) and Blast 2 in back to back turns. I know that won;t happen lot but it was a lot of fun.

My squad was

At-st

Officer x3

Elite Officer x2

Elite Probe x2

After playing it. I could see going At-st x2, Elite Officer, Officer x3,

I know you only have one core set and not packs just saying what I played.

Totally missed the "or attack" part :P

Yes, a free Move is good, but a free Attack is soooo much better. Which is likely why I don't see too many General Weiss players in skirmish.

Been considering a 39 Point mix bag of wienie Imps and a couple of Mercs.

This is mostly for swarming, and superority via greater numbers. Good for objectives, and for getting the Officers to "Order" the Trandorshans into close range with their Scatterguns.

  1. Imperial Officer.- 2
  2. Imperial Officer - 2
  3. Imperial Officer - 5
  4. Stormtrooper - 6
  5. Stormtrooper - 6
  6. Temporary Alliance - 1
  7. Trandoshan Hunter - 7
  8. Trandoshan Hunter - 10

Weiss is because Blast 3 is so hard to pull off if he had Blast 2 and overload I would play him in a heart beat.

Today i played another skirmish, went with this list:

Elite E-Web

Regular Royal Guard

Elite Royal Guard

Regular Imperial officer x2

Elite Imperial officer

Probe droid

So, the mission was the one with Raiders of luke's missions. Went 31-40 for a lucky Last round take the initiative where garkhaan killed the E-Web. Overall Royal guards didn't do much but i moved and deployed them wrong,i think. The E-Web melted chewbacca over two turns with 6 attacks,but i'm still not completely sold on it: it's awesome when you attack but you risk not having a Shot till late game when the opponent has taken care of the rest, or at least that's my Experience. But i'll play more with this, it seemed to work and might just need a couple of tweaks.
