Hallo all!

So I've been playing the Imperial Assault campaign with some friends (I am the sneaky smuggler Jyn Odan) but I am an Imperial loyalist at heart. So I am planning on taking a themed list to my first IA tournament, and was wondering A) if it's got potential beyond looking cool and ticking my background nut boxes, and B) what sort of Command Cards I should be looking at?

Kayn Somos (10)
Heavy Stormtroopers (6)
Stormtroopers (6)

Stormtroopers (6)

Elite Officer (5)

E-Web Engineer (6)

Rule By Fear (1)

= 40

A quick note on the force - a squad of Stormtroopers is 8 Stormtroopers with an officer or NCO leading them. Then the E-Web and Officer are there as a seperate attachment to provide supporting firepower to Captain Somos and his Stormtrooper squad.

I think you'll find that the regular Troopers die too easily. The Elite Stormtroopers are better...they do more damage, they survive longer, and they Focus each other when one of them dies. I would suggest downgrading your Elite Officer to a regular Officer...the 3pts you save can be used to upgrade one of your Stormtrooper groups to Elite status. Those 3pts are better spent on the troopers than the officer.

Drop that elite officer and sub in 2 regular officers.

My favourite atm is

Kayn

2 x Elite Stormies

2x Officer

1x Royal guard

The heavy trooper are just not worth their points and I would play an Reinforcement EVERY time for an elite stormtrooper and not for a reg heavy.

One Officer isn't enough to get the reg. E-Web into position and all your reg. units are pretty weak and die to fast...

If you want to keep the normal troopers, i would remove the Heavy ones, upgrade the E-Web and add two more reg. Officers...

But in general i would go with Baer's squad, it should be better in average situations.
