That sounds like a disgusting amount of painting......... I would probably paint any echo base troopers to match my standard troops.

I don’t know man. If we got snow troopers for the imps, I feel that the rebels should have them too. I’ll love the game either way but I’d prefer to have a squad of Hoth rebels.

Sergeant Melshi from rogue one wears a hoth uniform. Or at least close to it. I will paint my hoth troopers to look like him.

I plan on doing at least one heavy weapon trooper in this scheme (with pants and hat that match the rest of the unit)

I am planning on painting my 4 squads (splitting 2 boxes) in 2 different color schemes Tan/Khaki and Green/Brown. (with the occasional USA OD and Dark blue jacket or vest here and there)

From the wording of the AT-ST article, we aren't getting any Rebel equivalent to Veers and Snowtroopers.

At least not yet.

I missed that...where do it say that?

...I see it now
"The AT-ST Unit Expansion , along with the T-47 Airspeeder Unit Expansion and six other expansions are all releasing at the same time as the Core Set ,"

that is what we have right now...8 expansions

They mentioned the AT-ST would be released along with the T47 and six other expansions. In another thread, it was mentioned that they could have meant the rulers and dice, instead of Veers and the snowtroopers, but I didn't really think of them. I don't think those are listed in the "expansion" area of the product page.

Veers and snowtroopers are behind the core wave. The product page lists then at a different stage.

I don't imagine that FFG would release Veers and Snowtroopers without a rebel alternative this early. It would create a massive imbalance.

Agreed. A yet to be announced Rebel counter to both Veers and the Stormtroopers will be forthcoming and released at the same time as them.

I agree.

I would be really surprised if the next "wave" does not include Specialists and more Support options as well as the counters.
