IMO Force reflexes is a must for Vader. And then, the bigger problem with Vader is his high cost/low move ratio. Adding a second commander does not help the high cost part.

It's a really cool list! I actually made a very similar one a few days ago, though it sacrifices 1 activation for more upgrades - namely Electrostuff Guard, DT-F16 and Imperial Officer in Flamer Snows (altogether instead of 2 dlt squads)

Title: Mustafar Party
Commanders:
- Darth Vader (200) + Force Reflexes (15) + Saber Throw (10) = 225
- Director Orson Krennic (90) = 90
Corps:
- 2x Stormtroopers (44) + DLT-19 Stormtrooper (24) = 136
- Snowtroopers (48) + Flametrooper (20) + Imperial Officer (20) + Fragmentation Grenades (5) = 93
Special Forces:
- Scout Troopers Strike Team (16) + DLT-19x Sniper (28) = 44
- Imperial Royal Guards (75) + Electrostaff Guard (25) = 100
- Imperial Death Troopers (76) + DT-F16 (22) + Overwatch (4) + E-11D Grenade Launcher Config (8) = 110

Total: 798/800

Sure don't, but 8/9 mostly quality activations is not bad, and Krennic helps low move problem by giving Vader standby token with Deploy the Garrison, effectively making it another Implacable, as it is both extra move and extra attack for Vader.

I think you need more Death Troopers to put out more suppression:

797/800

Darth Vader 200
Saber Throw, Force Choke,
Director Orson Krennic 90

Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper,
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper,
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper,
Stormtroopers 44

Imperial Death Troopers 76
DLT-19D Trooper, Overwatch, E-11D Focused Fire Config,
Imperial Death Troopers 76
DLT-19D Trooper, Overwatch, E-11D Focused Fire Config,

Lots of Range 4 plus Range 3 standby.

No, it's correct -- I just double-checked it in Table Top Admiral. 19D is 34 there. Note that one Storemtrooper squad does not have a DLT.

I really like this list. But I tend to struggle with double heroes in my list, guess that's just my play style.
