I always play the good guys. But man, something about the look of those stormtroopers, and even more, the biker scouts... I might have to go Imperial.

How bout you? One faction? Both? What if we get a scum faction? How many factions will you collect?

Ewoks

Federation! ; P

Browncoats!!!

I am one with the Schwartz and the Schwartz is with me.

But in all seriousness probably both.

I want the fringe races. Jawas, Sand People. This game has a huge future. For now both sides have a lot to offer. Imperial have the menacing look and feel to them, while the Rebels get alien as well as human troops. If they play it right, Rebels will ride more beasts. Not having the income that the Imperial can muster. It should make for an amazing table top spectacle.

Both

Imperial, i prefer more defensive faction than offensive (and stormtroopers) - but i would choose federation for swarms of Droids <3

I'll be playing Rebels for a few reasons.

Reason 1: If you're keeping your armor's paintscheme within the lore, there isn't a whole lot you can do with the Empire unless you do things after the Battle of Endor (ya know, when things are all going to **** and such.) The great thing about the Rebels, for me atleast, is the fact that they can be of pretty much nearly any paint scheme. I will probably go for a 'Cool' theme with my Rebels (ya know, blues, greys, whites, etc.), but anyways, that's off topic atm.

Reason 2: The Rebel models just look really cool in this game. The Empire models look really menacing, sure, and the Darth Vader model is beautiful, but my personal problem with the Empire is the fact that they're all 'uniform' (ya know, your units aren't gonna have much uniqueness to them. I bet everybody that runs Empire will use a black Darth Vader, cause any other colors besides a dark grey would feel silly.)

Reason 3: It looks like the Rebels have an AT-RT and that's just.... that's just so much yes.

Rebels!!

Always loved the good guys and it started with the Rebels.

Not going to stick with canon paiting but do it alittle bit what I want. I also like one of everything rather than mass of something unless you can get units of Jedi (unlikely though, but if you can then I will get as many as i can!)
Going to be interseting to see what other vecihles and tanks that Rebels will be getting.

I am also going to paint my Luke with black clothes and green lightsaber since I like that outfit better, there might be another Luke later like they did with Imperial assault.
Do you think this will happen? Hislightsaber is named as "Anakins lightsaber", will we get "Lukes lightsaber" later in his Jedi guise (think not myself but not sure)?

Yeah because we all know how well Jawas do against the empire when they bring an army.

I dont think this this game will have a mecenary faction. Units are likely but as with armada they will just work for the only two sides in the civil war.

Good news though. IA already has sand people and banthas and dewbacks and rancors! That is where you can get your fringe on!

This is the funniest thing I've ever read on this forum. lol

Probably Rebels. Mainly because the other players locally are likely to go with Imperial.

Mandalorians

black sun.

hutts.

I'll do both, but locally Imperials are more popular so I'll focus on Rebels. More freedom with painting and the like too, which is nice.

I will be staying loyal to my Emperor.

Both

Hopefully MK1 clone troopers, I would have a great time customising their armor with coloured trims.

Scoutbikes look super fun, so I will play imperials on some small scale. I want both factions to be based Sullust-style, so the idea would be to have them be a tiny dug in force of imperial resistance after the planet joined the rebel alliance. That means customized gear to fit the environment or inspire morale, a focus on hit and run attacks via scoutbikes, few larger vehicles. It also holds up to the inclusion of pre-Endor characters like Vader to some extent.

My main force will be rebel alliance, though. The little customizations are much more plausible here and I love the use of salvaged clone wars tech to bolster the roster of vehicles. And the scoutbikes make me very excited for snowspeeders!

That would be a good paint scheme for the Rebels, with the Trooper leader having that sweet duster.

Rebels. I've always preferred rebels (or Scum/mercenaries) in all the FFG games so far, why change it now?

You can keep your AT-STs and tanks, I want a snowspeeder.

I will likely pick up Scum/mercenary units or an army of it gets released.

Rebel Alliance, mostly so I can recreate the characters me and my friends played in a number of RPG's from our past.

Of course FFG is gonna have to heavily expand the miniature options for the Rebels with non human troopers. I see they all ready got a Duros option. Now they need Wookie, Rodian, Zebrack, Twi'lek, Bothan, Nautolan, Amaran, Gungan, Togruta and Umbaran.

Imps

Both because Vader and because i always play imps in a starwars game when i can.
