Trying to do the math and it does not seem like I would replace troopers with eweb. Is the standby really going to make that much of a difference?
Thoughts? Anyone proxie them yet?
Will you replace Stormmies with Eweb
I'm guessing E-Webs will replace Speeder Bike units.
2 E-Webs and 1 Bike or 1 E-Web 2 Bikes would be pretty sweet.
If E-Webs take off I may have to replace some bikes with them. They are an excellent deterrent to those backfield roaming beasts.
I'm definitely replacing troopers with E-Webs. In my (admittedly few) games, I always find I leave some troopers behind to hold objectives or cover lanes of fire with aim while others maneuver. E-Webs give you more bang for your buck in that role, just have to be more careful in setup.

Replacing? I won't take basic stormtroopers as it is. They aren't Hoth themed. When this hits shelves I'll finally have something other than Snowtroopers and AT-ST's to make lists from.
I've proxied a tad courtesy of TTS. They seem good because:
> Adding the ten point generator still only puts them at 65 points - 3 points cheaper than a DLT or Flamtrooper squad
> Probably the best bet is the generator which adds 2 whites and Suppressive. Instead of 2 bikes, you could run 3 E-Webs for 195 points which could throw a cumalative 6 suppression the round they use the generator!
> Surge to crit is very good shooting vs armor or into cover.
> From the update in the RRG, they should be able to interact with objectives like normal troopers (intercept transmissions, supplies, etc.). Only moving and some other things are different. Other than that, I believe emplacement troopers are more or less like normal troopers.
They are slow, for sure, and not sure how good Sentinel will be. Still a decent amount of R4 weapons and all that.
