Imperial Hunters with Papa Palpatine

By Tvboy, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Just picked up the palpatine pack, trying to brainstorm a list around him, particularly his Emperor ability.

Palpatine

Capt Terro

BT-1

elite Weequay

HK Assassin

Imperial Officer

Temp Alliance

Zillo Technique

I have every expansion including Jabba's Realm, but only 1 of each. I'm still on the fence about HotE, I'm just kind of overloaded on IA right now, but I was happy to pick up Palp and Ahsoka.

Thoughts on the list and on possible command deck inclusions? Obviously hunter cards are the backbone. Leader and Droid cards are also possible inclusions.

I like this list idea! The only thing I would consider is the HKs. I'm not a big fan of them since they are so fragile. With Chewie and Vader and Palp running around, there's gonna be so much unmitigated damage your opponent could easily take them out without even attacking them basically. For replacements you could try something like Greedo or a Clawdite if you get HOTE (the clawdite could bring in some much needed power tokens to boost your imps by taking the form that lets her do that round 1). I like Greedo because he's cheap, has 5 speed (half the tournament missions right now need high speed to get crates), and he's a perfect suicide/distraction figure. If you went with Greedo you could bring in 0-0-0 as a front liner that has to be dealt with to help your Weequays and BT survive a little longer. Cool list!!

Agreed. Greedo is disgusting for 4 points if played right. He's your annoying "grabber" who can finish a figure or attack a short range/melee figure.
