Made somewhat less exciting by the spoiler, but looks good. I’m in for one when I can fit it into the queue. My Rebels need corps units.

I’ve got to sell some rebel core units to make room for these units.

Yeah that is why I shake my head at people that buy Max of stuff out the gate. You end up with boxes of unused plastic

To be fair, there weren’t a lot of 800 point legal builds for Rebels that could play the game and didn’t do this.

Also, I still have tons of unused plastic ... I need to get more games in. My armies are saddened. I haven’t picked anything up since the Imp specialists, but Bossk is changing that, as are these new corps options.

I split 2 cores at first. Then I got 2 fleet units when they came out. Decided I liked rebel troopers more than fleets about July of last year IIRC and got a 5th unit. Then got 2 more units (the 7th one was for some conversions I had planed) about November. Wasn't really out of the gate, we just haven't heard anything about more troopers and I was having more success with a Z6 unit than most other things.

That said, I am getting 2 units of vets but I think I'll usually only run 1.

If you do any conversions, You always have extra plastic. I have a bag of about 30 heads that are unused or chopped off from my rebel troopers. I'd prefer to convert Rebel Trooper Veterans as I don't care for the Hoth Esthetic and already have other stuff painted. I'll convert my tauntaun riders and the turret emplacement/heavy gun figures and probably be good proxying my troopers/commandos as veterans

I'm not talking about slow rolling it or conversions I'm taking about the people that made it their options day one.

It was really really bad in Armada. Now people have boxes full of vsds

Anything that comes already painted lends itself to that problem.

I intend to acquire MORE than max Veterans and Tauntaun Riders but painting means it’ll be one squad at a time after an initial purchase of one of each.

I like the veterans and will be getting them, but my Phoenix cell wants troopers and fleet. So I won't be an early adopter but they are on the list.

I am interested to see how the Mk2 Blasters play on the table. I’m planning on building a list with a base of:

Leia, (2)Rebel Vets, (2) Mk2 Blasters and (2) Z-6 Troopers
