Empire possible list

By Ashroth, in Army Building

Hi everyone !

I already have a clone army and i'm really considering about painting the post clone generation : the empire ! I tried to build a list, for now without any miniatures, they will come later on, with units I like. It looks like this :

General Veers (80 + 5 = 85)
--Strict Orders (5)

Shoretroopers (52 + 32 = 84)
--T-21B Trooper (32)

Stormtroopers (44 + 24 = 68)
--DLT-19 Stormtrooper (24)

Stormtroopers (44 + 24 = 68)
--DLT-19 Stormtrooper (24)

Imperial Death Troopers (76 + 42 = 118)
--DLT-19D Trooper (34), E-11D Focused Fire Config (8)

Imperial Death Troopers (76 + 42 = 118)
--DLT-19D Trooper (34), E-11D Focused Fire Config (8)

Scout Troopers (Strike Team) (20 + 34 = 54)
--DLT-19x Sniper (28), Hunter (6)

AT-ST (170 + 35 = 205)
--Imperial Hammers Elite Armor Pilot (10), 88 Twin Light Blaster Cannon (20), Linked Targeting Array (5)

Commands:
Maximum Firepower (1), Ambush (1), Push (2), Evasive Maneuvers (2), Imperial Discipline (3), Coordinated Fire (3), Standing Orders (4)

Veers is a bit naked and the loss of one activation with Evasive Maneuvers is a shame though...

I also though about a version without the shoretroopers and 3 stormtroopers with DLT-19, and hunter on both deathtrooper (to enjoy "precise 2"). I don't really like snowtroopers nor the speeder so I don't consider them as an option. the What do you guys think ?

Solid good list. It has a strong spearhead unit (ATST) and good backup. The commander fits into the list, although Krennic is usually meta right now, Veers is still the better choice for DT + vehicles. You have range 4 and a lot of impact on almost every unit. So armor and short ranged gunline lists will struggle against your list. 8 activations is not much, I like to go for at least 9, but 8 is still ok'ish. The most common lists your list will be weak(er) (like most imperial lists) to is a sniper spam / high pierce or hero ball list. They will focus down your DTs and probably ignore your ATST. To deal with that you can use Medic Droids to get your DTs back and maybe the Mortar on the ATST so you can pressure snipers. Against hero ball or TaunTaun lists it can be really helpful to put Hunter on your DTs.

It sucks that you loose one activation on Evasive Maneuvers, but it is still way better than the other generic card.

All in all I would play your list. 👍

Thanks for the answer mate !

I play only with friends and they will never spam snipers (at least). I did a game with this list and indeed, the DT got focused hard. A medic droid would be nice but to squeeze it, I would have to lose the E-11D on both DT squad, so it would mean to lose range 4. I think that'll be a test in the next game !
