I find it interesting that in the newest article; that they list the three locations of Scarif, Hoth, und Endor...... ...in past articles, have they noted any planet locations?... ...and might this lead to forecasting future units???

I would say that it has to do with the fact that we see land battles on Scarif, Hoth, and Endor during the GCW.

I also liked that they said this, it kind of means that rogue one content is not too crazy of an idea; plus a well done scarif map would look freaking awesome.

I think Shawn Morris is working on one.

Many people were forecasting those variations much earlier. The cannon canon variants of ______Trooper are Storm, Snow, Scout, Shore, and Death.

I'm wondering how they would work shoretroopers. A "grunt" shoretrooper carries the rank of sergeant over regular troopers. Then you have squad leaders and captains. For simplicity they could be their own units but in reality they should be leading a squad.

Shoretroopers could be small squads at the "Specialist" tier, or an individual model that provides a bonus of some kind to a trooper squad within a certain range.

Edit: Or a "Trooper/Specialist" upgrade that isn't limited to Shoretrooper units.

That would make sense to me. I have a huge passion for shoretroopers (I'm a shoretrooper captain in the 501st) so I would go crazy for some of the Rogue One units.

**** with Endor, the Empire needs to hit the beach!

it might just be that they are using those planet names rather than desert, arctic or forest to give their terrain a Star Wars vibe.

In Star Wars, every planet only has a single biome.

Stop bringing in reality to our Space Wizard stories!

....maybe.... ...but this is another EXHIBIT of evidence toward the forecasting... ..with additional hints of evidence (such as this), then can fix the finding... STORMIES!!!!.... vielendank

(asoo....I assume that you mean "cannon" as artillery versus "canon" as corpus of writing?....I would hate to see the StormKanonenFutter...)

Eh, the n key stuck.

....did any other articles name other planets than Scarif, Hoth, und Endor??.......maybe Lothal......or Tan??

...if Lothal was named; then maybe some of the REBEL comic show vehicles and troopers will be forecasted??

Lothal was one of the demo tables at the 2017 cons...so...yeah.
I expect Scarif Rebel Pathfinders to be one of the Special forces choices.
...maybe Shore Troopers too.
Would not be surprised to see The Tank we see on Jedha and Saw's terr- I mean, insurgents either

Hmmm, I didn't think of Saw as a Commander or the Partisans (his group) as potential units. That would be interesting models at least.

I would be surprised if the Empire didn't end up with the "Occupier" tanks and/or AT-DP.

...some more heavy tanks to complement (or is it compliment) the light leg infantry!...would enjoy the Occupier Tank...wunderbar...
