Hi guys,

Been reading on here a while but first time posting, been playing campaign for a while but my local group has just started getting into skirmish mode and enjoying it ATM.

I've been having some success with the below and thought I'd open it out to you guys for any feedback you may have to improve the list.

Elite snowtrooper (Vader's Finest)

Elite snowtrooper

Elite stormtrooper

Elite stormtrooper

Command cards I can list if anyone is interested but basically making the most of reinforcements, covering fire, grenadiers, etc. Which are great trooper cards and can be massive.

I've considered an officer instead of Vader's Finest but the heals from the snowtroopers are fantastic and being able to shoot before repositioning either out of los to heal up, or move to an injured trooper and heal him is very handy.

What sort of lists do you think this would struggle against and what would you do to improve it?

Is it just because we're all still finding our feet an be opponents haven't sussed the list out yet or do you think it's legit?

Thanks for any feedback

Welcome to the forum.

Edit: Once here was some non-sense, so it is gone now

If you look at the list Baer, it shows two Elite Snowtroopers and two Elite STORMtroopers.

From my meager view on Skirmish, since I am still new myself into this realm, it looks like a fun beginner list to get the knack of how to play skirmish, but would probably not work so well in a tournament setting. If you want the most out of snowtroopers, you would want to trade out the Elite Stormtroopers for two regular Snowtrooper squads and a pair of regular officers for some extra activations and movement shenanigans.

The offensive output out the elite storm would be much better. Maybe trying Elite storm with regular Snow Trooper, Kayn and Elite E-Web, you have 6 pts left after...for probably some officers. Elite E-Web are very strong and are troopers too don't forget!

Ha! you are right, sorry for that.

4 Activations is usually too low to really get the hang of it, even with the pass rule.

I would discard the Vader's Finest as it will not bring you this much in game. If you reduce one of the elite snows and Vader you have 12 points to spare, which you could use for some officers (usually 2 or 3, New Orders is great ) which would still leave you with 8 or 6 points.

Before answering any further: What is your goal with the list? Do you just want to use troopers?

With the list as it is you gonna have a hard time against stun spamming lists.

Both the elite Snowtroopers and the elite Stormtroopers are great, the Snowtroopers being a little bit more cost-effective. But in my experience 4 activations are not enough.

I'm trying to figure out a list with any two units of those elites, preferably the Snowtroopers. I would add in two elite Probe Droids for their damage output and some Officers for more activations. I just don't find the "exact 40 points"-list.

Yea a friend tried a list with 1 unit of storm troopers and 1 snow troopers plus support (in his case boba) and that worked well too. I like one of each working together with the storm troopers being harder hitting whilst the snow troopers keep things healed and weaken enemy units (plus getting focused)

This list still hasn't been beaten but going to put it on pause for a bit so that I can play some other lists as it's not been so popular for my friends to play against

Maybe I'll try:

Elite Stormtroopers

Elite Snowtroopers

Elite Probe Droid

Elite Probe Droid

Elite Officer

Officer

Officer

Officer

I'm thinking about Elite Snowtroopers with Targeting Computer. They would have the attack power of the Elite Troopers with the Healing ability.

Would they be worth 11 points?

Targeting Computer?

Neutral Upgrade which gives a reroll to an attack die. But I just noticed it is not usable on snowtroopers ...

Yes not usable sadly

Also I've found the damage difference is more because if the lack of +2 DMG surge rather than the reroll, it makes a big difference

What are the restrictions? Is it in Return to Hoth?

It is in return to hoth. There are 2 per Box. 1 Point and only for vehicles, heavy weapons or droids. So you could have an Elite E-Web for 9 points with an reroll ability for example.
