EMPEROR-VADER together

By naitsirk, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

I need some help, but i want a list like this one...but all effective as possible! What command cards you put here?

DEPLOYMENT

Darth Vader 18 + Driven by Hatred -5

Palpatine 8

2x officers 4

eRoyal Guard 12

Zillo 1

Unshakable 1

advanced com system 1

COMMAND

Lord of the sith 3

Force lighting 3

Parting bow 2

Advance warning 0

Element of surprise 0

To the limit 0

Field tactician 1

Fleet footed 0

Force rush 0

Force surge 2

Grisly contest 2

Looking for a fight 0

Negation 1

Reposition 1

Take initiative 0

Obviously i don't see the emperor command card yet, but "parting bow" can get out if the emperor command likes me (or even lord of the sith). I don't know if " SET A TRAP " will be a good adition cause in a round, Vader could attack, chocke, move 2 and attack 2 if you use set a trap and officers correctly (well, he could attack another time if you use the emperor). What do you think?

Looks like fun, and I think the Vader/Palpatine combo has some serious potential (extra attack for Vader all around!)

With only 6 figures on the board and 5 deployments, you may run into some issues being overwhelmed, though.

Yes, Vader and Palpy together for sure. That's 21pts, and the other 19 still need to be good too. Here's what I was thinking about:

  • 13 Vader
  • 8 Palpatine
  • 7 Captain Terro
  • 7 elite Jet Troopers
  • 2 regular Imperial Officer
  • 2 regular Imperial Officer
  • 1 Zillo Technique

It's only 8 figures though, so maybe it would be better to drop Terro for some other guys (maybe regular Jets and an upgrade?).

vader's finest!


vader
palpatine
2xEstormies
Zillo.

Vader kills the tough opponents with built in defenses and the troops just pour out dpa.

I've been toying around with lists as well, mainly with the same results. For me, it will partly be determined by the strength of the force user cards. It probably won't be competitive, but Vader, Palp, and either Maul or the Inquistor (or both!) sounds awesome! Can't wait for this wave!

I think the new cards like force jump will be a must in this type of list. I put unshakable cause if people centre his effort in stun vader you lose an important part of the list.

Coming again to "SET A TRAP", what would be the order to play it with driven by hatred? First 2 spaces + attack or chocke and then the other attack for the trap??

You need to include the 2 killer droids with Vader. Even if just BT, hes whickedly good. RGs to protect Emp.

Vader (13)

Emp (8)

RG (8)

BT(6)

0-0-0 (4)

Zillo (1)
