Hi all, as a relatively new player I've only only ever played rebels. However, I'm going to be introducing a friend to the game next week so have bought a few imperial bits. With no idea on what makes a 'good' imperial list other than the obvious stereotypes, I was after some suggestions on a solid 400 points for him to start off with. I have:
Core set
Victory
Gladiator
Imperial fighters
Rogues & Villains
Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.
VSD-I, Screed, Boosted Comms 103
VSD-I, Expanded hangar, Flight Controllers 84
GSD-I, Demolisher, Engine Techs, ACMs, Veteran Captain 84
Rhymer + Tie-B 25
2 Tie-A 24
Mauler Mithel 15
IG-88 21
Dengar 20
Firespray 18
Total 394
I can't remember what pack boosted comms comes in so you may have to substitute it out or print one off.

"ISD" and "MC80 Home One"
Edited by DrasnightaYeah for Imperials I'd echo similar ideas.
Get an ISD. Pick up a Gladiator. Pick up an Imperial Squadrons and a Rogues and Villains pack too.
That'll give you lots of fun options. Raiders are handy too but for getting started I think you'll be ok without it.
The VSD is interesting but I suspect until Wave IV is actually out with some needed upgrade cards it's not as interesting as it could be. Tho there are some (myself included) who very much enjoy a 3 VSD list and all the havoc that can bring. Slow lumbering wish it could turn a lot better than it does havoc.
Which is why I straight away recommend the ISD. That baby has wheels and firepower.
The squadron game is an interesting one. If you play quite a bit, you'll probably get to point where you starting thinking ... just how many Rogue and Villain packs should you pick up... I'm at 5 or 6 ... I might have a problem.
Have fun!
Edited by tgallThe ISD is far too iconic not to get. People get awed just by seeing it on the table. Its one of the best promotional tools we have. Get it.
