More Vehicles for the Empire?

Recommended Posts

AT-DP   (since they made one for Imp Assault) 

AT-DT   (from Solo) 

The vehicle that's pursuing Han's land-speeder on the Solo trailer?   (hoping this rather than the troop/prisoner transport you often see in 'SW Rebels') 

Hover-tank from R1

As I list these, I begin to think "hasn't there been a topic on this already?"

Yeah, I get you about the AT AT. It would have to be like 400 points base. Probably use 4 At RT bases for the feet...

Or just scale it down. Some of the ships in X-Wing are in slightly different scales, but it looks fine.

But yeah a lot of different smaller walkers for sure. Hover tanks are in the games. I think a troop carrier of some sort would be cool.

Repulsor tank is mentioned in the L2P, it's coming. 2-M is even canon.

BTW looking at the unit list for Commander probably gives the best clue, FFG seems able to move fast with canon, though obviously they've also devised their own original materials too (The SC2-M in IA and AoR, etc). Expect all your favorite Kenner toys like the INT-4 and MTV-7 to come back, along with maybe the AT-MP.

I see several already posted, but I'm all for most from Star Wars Rebels series, most especially the Troop Transport, both ground and air. 

Other ideas that I'd like to see:

Imperial Probe Droid (large recon droid)
Skiffs (like those belonging to Jabba)
Dewbacks
MLC-3 Light Tank

I really hope they don’t bring the awful prequels into this wonderful game. 

*Looks to the AT-RT* Uh....

I personally want them to bring all three eras to the game at some point, give people all the tools they need to play out any battle from the movies. Besides as a painter I'd love to paint up a clone legion.

+1 for TIE Mauler... brings back memories of Empire at War...and how much I hated those little things for self destructing in the middle of my rebels <_< Plus I doubt we'd ever see something with the "TIE" designation flying over the battlefield due to size so a TIE Mauler would be a fun way to have a "TIE fighter" in the game.

Im really down for any and all vehicles honestly, having troop transports with the ability to move units around would be great. The one from Rebels would be perfect to start with, wouldn't have much stock firepower (maybe an expensive hard point upgrade?) but it can take enough hits that your unit(s) inside can be relatively safe from round 1 and 2 shooting before being deployed closer to objectives.

I really hope that gunships make it into the game.  

They look awesome, they move troops and they're basically star wars helicopters.  

They're such a perfect design that I don't see why the Empire would have just abandoned them after the Clone Wars ended.

They didn't.   Look above at the patrol transport.   It is basically a smaller version of the gunship.   One pilot, but holds about the same number of troops.

And doesn't fly and has half to 1/3 of the weapons.

There's room for both.  The US Army didn't get rid of the Chinook because they developed the Stryker.
