Waves upon waves of plasteel shells clattered to the ground at little more than a Rebel's look askance.
The Stormtrooper is a small based Trooper of the Empire faction. At a cost of 10 points, he comes with a small missile launching attack and a speed of 4 tix. His special power is Attackback for one of your Empire figures. The Stormtrooper is known for being incredibly easy to knock over.
Sculpt[]
This sculpt was new for Series 3. However, it is noted for its balance issues, widely considered to be one of the easiest figures to knock down.
Attack[]
The small missile launcher is supported by two hands, leading to some difficulties achieving base shots at close range. Furthermore, moving its arms above its head to achieve a long-distance shot makes this figure even wobblier than it normally is.
Defense[]
Only in formation does this figure stand a chance against anything more than a mean glance. However, even in formation, a small missile can take out two Stormtroopers with bases adjoined.
Strategies[]
Keep Stormtroopers as far back as you can. Maybe that will allow your opponent's missiles to lose enough kinetic energy to prevent them from reaching your Stormtroopers.
Tournament use[]
Anyone deigning to use this in a tournament for anything but suicide striker fodder must be insane.
