New Empire player here. Why should I run Shoretroopers over Stormies or Snows?
Hey guys, I’m pretty new to the Empire faction and after playing a few games, I’m struggling to see the unique value in Shoretroopers compared to our other corps.
To me, Stormtroopers feel great because they have speed 2, highly flexible heavy weapons, and can get up to 4 rerolls with the right upgrades. Snowtroopers are speed 1 but they have Steady, plus great close-range threat with Ion and Flamethrowers.
On the other hand, Shoretroopers look kinda bland on paper, and I don't see a clear standout feature compared to the other two. What am I missing here? Is there a specific playstyle or list synergy that makes Shores worth taking over Stormies or Snows?
Would love some beginner advice on how to actually utilize them on the tabletop! Thanks.
