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.

Son and I went full send!

I originally played in wave 1 and sold out before 2 because the community died before it could really get started. Glad to see the game and my local community surging well. So when my Warhammer playgroup decided to move provinces and I sold all my stuff.... My son and I went into the store to find a new game that we can start together. He chose Legion. Which made me happy.

I already preordered Mandalorians so it's kind of a sigh of relief. I just thought the would be a cool art price. But now with a fistfull of cash fresh from a sold space marine collection we cleared out the local store.

I really wanted to play republic, but no starter in stock. (I ended up finding one online and ordered it) And he wants to play asap so he convinced me to play rebels so we can have a Luke vs Vader fight as soon as possible.

So I guess we will have 4 factions of stuff by the end of June?

Both starters are now built. And we will goto a pickup game this weekend with the local community. First base coats are blocked in on the rebel commandos.

Lets roll some dice!!!

What other kits should we grab with the remaining $200 we got left in Canadian dollars for his imperials? He wants dark troopers for sure.

Cheap Deals for Star Wars Legion?

Hi, I’ve been sort of lurking around the subreddit and I’m interested to somewhat try miniature games like Star Wars legion, yet all the starter boxes are really expensive and as a result it’s a bit hard for me to justify (also tbf I don’t know how to properly paint miniatures and don’t have paint). Is there any place that gives discounts on like older runs of past box sets?

Mando points

And there we have it. Kryze seem very overpriced, but warriors and initiates don’t seem too bad for 5 man squads.

Kitbashed Jedi General into Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi

I used a spare Obi-Wan head from the Republic heroes box to create a classic clone wars Obi-Wan that better fits with the new Anakin.

I've also included a bunch of my other Obi-Wans, which is your favorite?

Bitz Sellers?

I am trying to get all the Twi'lek heads I can manage to do a Ryloth freedom fighter group, does anyone know anywhere that sells bits? Or a cheaper way to get Twi'lek heads?

My two favorite Star Wars races are Twi'leks and Ewoks so rebels was a no brainer pick.

Clone Engineer Card

With the release of the Clone Specialist pack, I'm wondering if there has been any news on the missing Clone Engineer card from the Unit Upgrade card pack. Is this planned for a future card pack, or do we need to purchase the newly released Clone Specialist Pack? I have 2 of the original release, thus need 2 cards. I loath print and play, so it's not an option.

Wrong scouts in box

Neither scout is turned around backwards. They dont quite match the assembly instructions. Im not sure if this is a mispack or if all boxes are like this. Does anyone know?
