Annihilation Looms

Imperial Forces

We had decided to play a Rogue One themed battle. Taking the role of Imperials, I would be using Director Krennic as my Commander, along with his unit of Death Troopers. While this combination is thematic, the synergy between Krennic and the Death Troopers make them a natural addition when fielding him. Two units of Shoretroopers and their accompanying Mortar teams would flesh out the core of my lists. This would give me a decent amount of range four firepower and the ability to dish out a lot of suppression.

I was conscious that my army was looking pretty static so I added two units of Speeder Bikes along with a Scout squad and a Scout Sniper Team. The scouts would give me the option to push a couple of units up the table on deployment, should the objective call for it. The bikes would provid some manoeuvrability to harass the enemy line.

I still had 140 points to spend and considered my usual strategy of fielding an Operative such as Fett or Bossk.

However I wanted to try a more stripped down list and figured that for the same cost I could add two basic units instead. I would keep my unit upgrades minimal and aim to out activate the Rebels. With this in mind I opted for a unit of Snow Troopers (rebranded hazardous environment troopers), armed with a flamethrower, who would be good for objective grabbing or engaging any close assault units. This left enough points to bring the accompanying E-Web blaster team, to bolster my defensive line.
