    My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life, to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. No, the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude. So what do I collect in Legion ?? EVERYTHING !!!!!! - Luthen Rael

    I love Stormtroopers, they are what I've played mostly in my Imperial lists and there the classic frontline holder, pretty cheap, and have pretty great upgrade options. I made a 501st Trooper squad and nicknamed them "Triton Squad" and with their red saves they became a stubborn wall against almost any rebel firepower. I'm more of a Republic player who is familiar with the phase 2 trooper horde.

    17:45- The greatest Sith in this game (so far)!!! I love Darth Vader but I have not used him since the last two changes to the game! He is really good (if) you can get him up close and personal with the enemy. But it does take a while to get him there. Unless you use one of his spots for “burst of speed”. But that would limit how I use to use him. And what’s this thing about “force choke” not being a thing anymore?!? I’ve looked it up the last time you mentioned it and the only information I could find was that it just cost 5 points more than it use to!?! That’s annoying but that doesn’t make it worthless!!! I asked this also back then also and either never got a response or just wasn’t notified about it!!! If I remember what video it was I could check for it like that……. Anyways, I like Vader but he still cost a lot when you include his extra cards onto the full cost and slow. Plus he is the “strongest Sith Lord” of this game so far. He should be a lot more powerful……. at least with his attacks. If not anything else. Who else uses this monster? And what kind of list do you build around him?

    Rite Let's go my favourite units for each rank for the Empire! Commander: Agent Kallus - Not the strongest Commander out there but I've always liked Kallus, he's got Contingencies and Cunning and I love to run him with Bounty Hunters. Though a bit gutted that there isn't a rebel option for him yet as his story arch in rebels was one of my favourite parts of that series, still not as good as Clone Wars though 😅😜 Operative: Bossk - While Boba got a nice upgrade from where he started, I think from the get go Bossk was a solid Bounty Hunter pick and I've ran him with Kallus many times over the years. Core: Snowtroopers - All way's liked them even before Blizzard Force, even before special forces gave us Gideon Hask as another solid upgrade option for them. Special Forces: Imperial Death Troopers - They're just so good at all ranges they are so much fun and very versatile. Support: E-Web - I have three of them and they're just great, they work well with Shoretroopers and the Gav tank and even outside of Blizzardforce they are a solid unit for putting out suppression Heavy: Gav Tank - Yeah maybe not as good as the ATST but I loved Rogue One, it's my favourite Star Wars movie, and the scene with this in it was great. Rite on with the video!

    Everything on your list is what I would put on my “1,200 point list”! But not my 800 point lists!!! I like more units than more expansions units. It has been a long time since I’ve made a 800 point list for the Empire but this is what I mainly run! 800 point list without mentioning the add on cards: Iden Versio Krennic or Agent Kallus Boba Fett (sometimes) (3) Stormtrooper units (2) Snow trooper units with flamers (At least 1) Full Scout trooper unit Inferno Squad with Del (normally) (1) SF squid And depending on if I know what my opponent is running or how I want to play the game that will determine what else I’ll add. I like Death troopers but they are way over priced right now! That needs to go down at the least 15-20 points before I run them again in a 800 point army. I’m going to go and spell check everything and come back. Because I’m 90% certain I misspelled a lot and I didn’t remember what something else is called! Edit: I actually didn’t do as bad as I was thinking I did with spelling. This is already long enough so I won’t add my 1,200 point list. But like I’ve said before, I prefer to play those games!

It does dominate but unfortunately if your opponent knows and has played against it before already then their not going to waste any effort into taking it down. So that takes away one of the benefits. I would like to see how 2 of them in a 1,200 point list runs!?! I don’t understand how people play a 800 point game with 2 or even 3 of them in a game!?!

    Like your list, but i personaly have a huge problem with Vader. I like him lorewise, but i think in the tabletop he is absolutly toxic and way to strong (ruleswise). Its one of this models your enemy has to focus hard or he will lose. So it often feels like its a win when your enemy cant shoot him down. In melee its realy hard to kill him (or better say to dont get killed by him) and his compel is extremly strong to support his army.
