Author Topic: Mantic's Firefight - which list for a Star Wars Imperial Army?  (Read 806 times)

Hi all,

For those familiar with the game, I need advice on which Firefight army would be most suitable for a Star Wars Imperials army? The backbone will be stormtroopers, led by Vader or Krennic. Specialist units may be bounty hunters, Imperial Army, and backed up by AT-ST as walkers.

I'm leaning towards a list made up of Corporation Veterans, but I am open to suggestions. Enforcers are too powerful I think, and the regular Corporation are too weak.

Any advice appreciated!

I would say that you would want an allied force. Stormtroopers = Enforcers, and Imperial Army = Corporation.

With Corporation, I would go with the slightly better quality troops - the differences are small in stats and points, so go with better I say.

In "fluff" terms, this would be like Imperial Guard being allied with Space Marines; in other words, perfectly reasonable and sensible.

Edit: Bounty Hunters and Mercs could be represented by the Orx Marauders list. Some good stuff in there that would add a nice bit of variation and flavour. As the Marauders are a subset of the Corporation list, this should be doable I think.
