@@benniediek7347 marksman isnt better than sharpshooter at all specifically because it costs aim tokens to use. I would much rather have sharpshooter + an aim token than have to waste an aim token to activate marksman. marksman is one of the weaker offensive keywords. If im going to spend aim tokens to activate keywords I prefer lethal on kallus. especially since kallus doesnt have to spend actions to get an aim token like Iden does.

I feel like if you are taking the Death Troopers, you have to include at least 1 medical droid. If the LAAT/le was as flexible as the AA5 party bus (specifically the field hospital option) it would have worked perfectly with the Death Troopers (not to mention Vader and Palpatine). The Imperial Officer is another great unit to include, given her price point. Iden Versio is such a power house, it is hard to envision a Imperial force without her.

I love Boba Fett and really want to use him along with Veers, he has such good mobility. I really wish snowtroopers were the better core option. I like them so much more. I haven't really played enough to give any judgements though. I also look forwards to Palpatine being more useful. I personally don't like Inferno Squad at all lore-wise, I _really_ dislike Iden Versio, in part for c-blocking me on an Imperial campaign and I will never forgive any of them for this.

A bit late to the party perhaps, but I friend sent me a link to this vid (which I liked). So, here’s my two cents ( or four 😏) Yeeeah, as he said; it’s subjective. That, and this video is a year old; a lot has changed - point costs in particular. /My/ Top Five Imperial Units based on what I got and have used: 1. Imperial Stormtroopers. I don’t care what /anybody/ says - they beat the breaks off crappy Shoretroopers; better point costs, and much better heavy weapon and personnel selections. I can kit them out for most anything. 2. Occupier Tank. Dammmn right; the earth quakes as I inexorably roll down on my opponents, blazing away with the Occupier’s fine array of weaponry (/always/ take Hammer Pilot, DLT-19 and Linked Targeting Array 🤠). Great synergy with an embarked Stormtrooper squad equipped with an HH-12 and an R4 Astromech. 3. Imperial Death Troopers. Straight forward and easy use as Special Forces go, they excel as “Super Stormtroopers”. With their dead accuracy and suppression weaponry, they’re great at killing other infantry units. While their Ready 1 ability (and the option to take Overwatch) would indicate they’d be great at holding objectives, in my experience it just doesn’t come up very much because of the way objectives are setup; I had them guard an objective /once/ and… they stood around doing nothing for the rest of the game. They’ve be much more effective on the frontline. 4. Imperial Officer. Ya know, it’s /General/ Veers. Not captain, not lieutenant - General. He belongs in Grand Army lists… not commanding a handful of units. And at 30 points less, my Imperial Officer does her job just fine; she’s there to issue orders, spot, and inspire. 5. Scout Troopers. New flavor of the month, though I haven’t used them yet. They should add great value though. Honorable Mention: Imperial Special Forces/Inferno Squad. They’re… alright. They’re cool lookin’ at least. Infiltrate is cool, but (as was mentioned in the video) you need to make sure you bid low to make the most of it. I’d much rather have Precise than crappy Marksman (I want MORE hits, not just improving the hits I’ve got). Reliable 1 is, well - reliable. But a crappy surge token? Meh. Death Troopers are superior.

I'll stick with Death Troopers, IRG and Scouts in my special forces slots I think, but to each their own.

My top 5 turned out a heck of a lot different than yours: 1. Bossk 2. Iden 3. Shores 4. Strike Teams 5. Veers/generic officer Bossk just slays, and slays, and suppresses. Quite reliably, and quite well on a good turn of Imperial Aim sharing. Great at shredding both elite and chaff units, being a pain, and can wreck a Clone ball with his grenade. Iden is well, Iden. She is great at any range, and makes our mostly crap special forces units sing. ISF, she makes them amazing, full Scouts? They are playable with her. Death Troopers? They become good-ish, they are still overcosted crap that are easily removed by units people spam (snipers and ARCs) to pad activations. Shores are just the most lethal thing Empire can put on the table in the Corps slot, and I don't even bother with the mortars. Mortars are just sniper/ARC bait and an easily lost activation. Shores are just great with the T-21, Offensive Push, and maybe Targeting Scopes for added reliability from the Aims. I honestly find Empire Strike Teams severely lacking and honestly compare very poor to most of the other faction's Strike Teams... but they are cheap activations that are great to plink damage, or be a quick activation as you try to hold off exposing one of your alpha strike units. And Veers/generic officer. I have them both tied, because they kind of do the same thing, although at different levels of efficiency. Veers is great for his points, and yeah, the range 3 gun can come in clutch, it is really just a bonus. His 3 pip, Spotter 2, and red save make him a great primary commander supporting discount Storm squads with RT-97C/T-21. Making Shores even more reliable, and generating an amazing Coordinated Fire turn. However, I often find Veers too expensive when run with somebody like Iden, Vader, ect. They want the points for themselves and their supporting cast, and thT is where the generic is great as a discount Veers.
