Vader Rides Again

[PikminToo 33]

Darth Vader (208)

- Force Reflexes, saber throw, fear 

Stormtrooper (87) x2 (174)

- DLT, Medic droid

Stormtrooper (68)

- DLT

STormtrooper (44) x2 (88)

IRG (103)

- Electrostaff, environmental gear 

Strike team with sniper (48) x2 (96)

E-web (62)

-barrage generator

 

Total is 799. This is a variation of a list I used to run and had a great time with. Naked stormies claim objectives while medic ones run around with Vader and IRG keeping them alive. Snipers and DLT cover what they can from afar and the e-web guards a specific area. Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

I saw a list with Vader and Bossk that won a RPQ having Vader use new ways to motivate turn 1 to get Bossk way up the map then let Bossk do reptilian rampage to wreak havoc, either way glad to see Vader getting used

why do you want bossk "way up the map"

he is a r4 sniper. you have to chill with him

Nice list. I think I decided that all commander Vader needs is saber throw. I know force reflexes decreased in cost but out of all the Games I have played I never really use the dodge token. Plus deflect rarely goes off. The more list building I do the less upgrades I take. I don't know why but it slowly steers this way.

Seemed to work pretty well for this guy, I think you can play Bossk multiple ways, and play Vader without Bossk just thought I'd let you know a cool synergy I saw with them

"With Bossk, 3 snipers, and 4 dlts, you can still compete at the range game against rebels." -@Dashz

Yup. exactly

Except the rebels just upped their ranged game to r5 with dishes and snipers(no offense to the quote, was likely made before the changes). Doubt it will be a great list, but it'll easily be (on paper) on par with that. Was just looking at the list builder, you can run Leia, 3xz6, 3x snipers and 3x1.4's with a good 120-150 points spare. And with the new upgrades coming you could swap those z6 to the new r4 heavy

Yes - this article was certainly written before the introduction of range 5. 

It's worth noting that that doesn't necessarily invalidate the list out of the gate. A lot of the new range changes (Shores being introduced, FD turrets going to 5) will prove challenging for a list like this in the future - I think the next evolution of this list likely involves mortars.

I loved your aggressive use of Bossk with "new ways to motive them" in the early game, its nice to see Bossk can be used in multiple ways

1. bossk died and he got lucky to kill sabine. 2. he literally says bossk is here for range 4. people have tried bossk at close range. it isn't great. he is much more suited for range 4.

3. He won the RPQ playing this way, "He’s used aggressively in this list, in order to force the opponent into a situation where they have to walk into Vader."
