Legion has been on my back burner for several months now, and I’d like to get back to it this fall (though I know xwing 2.0 is going to take **a lot** of my free time too). Part of how I’m trying to get more excited for it and find time to get games going again is list diversity.

Right now, I’m not even quite at “one of everything” - core set Imperials, 1x storm, 1x snow, and ATST. I added Veers in but I haven’t gotten him on the table yet - keep worrying about matching Luke if I don’t field something heavier.

That said, if I DID field Veers, I don’t have enough stuff to make up the point differential of not taking Vader. And when I do take Vader it’s either 3x fat trooper units or 4 stripped down ones.

Which should I look at for the next corps purchase between the two options?

I have only really been playing with friends, so I’m not necessarily interested in power lists. I would like to keep the ATST out there even if it’s not optimal (hey my friends are flying t47s I can take the better of the two heavy units ).

FWIW, I am planning on picking up scout troopers for the small fire team option and I may pick up Boba if I move past my fear of painting him. (I know not required but he’d literally be the only unpainted mini on either side of the table)

I like 3 Storm and 2 Snow for troopers over 4/1, so I would go with extra Snowies. But the Snows need the flamer to be effective, and impact grenades are a good choice because they'll be close in, so they get expensive. I haven't really thought about how to add the scout commandos yet. I just haven't done the research, but they seem another source of shorter range punch that may make flaming less necessary.

Second core set. It's value cannot be matched.

Understand the value per se, but there’s no way I’m fielding that many units. And I’d need to find a victim to buy the rebel troopers/atrt because i have no intention of playing Rebels (ironic, since the handle was made during xwing only and I flew scum and Rebels.... the Imperial ground units just make me happier to look at and work with even if I like xwings and bounty hunter ships)

Scouts I’m not sure how to, I just like the idea of having unit diversity. I think the sniper fire team (2 minis) is a better call for fitting it in a list and make it a lower cost item that has to be dealt with or tolerate harassment across the board. The only thing that they’re truly scared of is being a target of Leias orbital air strike at that point.
