This is my army I am using for 800 until I buy more stuff.
Darth Vader - Force Push, Force Reflexes, Saber Throw

Stormtroopers - DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper, Targeting Scopes
Stormtroopers - DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper, Targeting Scopes
Stormtroopers - DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper, Targeting Scopes
AT-ST - AT-ST Mortar Launcher, DW-3 Concussion Grenade Launcher

74-Z Speeder Bikes
Vader is built to run towards the enemy dodging/reflecting, throwing sabres and moving troops around to better engage and move them out of cover
3 x Stormies, killing troops, holding objectives. I prefer the DLT to the missile launcher due to the constant shooting without reloads.
AT-ST, for suppressing troops and being a bullet magnet. I would rather have my opponent shoot this then my stormtroopers.
Speeder Bikes are there to annoy.
Changes I plan are to remove the bikes and add more storm troopers.
What do you think?

I like the concept, though I’m not sure there’s enough anti-armor in the army. I’d be pretty worried with how cheap the AT-RT is that support spam from Rebels will be a thing.

I also think you need some more anti-armor. Equip one of the Storm Trooper squads with an HH-12 for a bit more flexibility. After all you can use the HH-12 mini with normal gun in case the HH-12 needs to be reloaded during a specific round.

Post the same list in the main thread earlier :)

Practice and experience will let us know if the DLTs can do enough damage to armor to compensate for AT-RT spam. But like you, I think this can handle a variety of objectives and threats.

Here's hoping it works - if you get a chance to test it, let us know!
