Scene to Stats: Blizzard Force Army Box

“General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.”
– Darth Vader, to General Veers, Star Wars: The Empire Stikes Back^TM

Only a few short years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star in what has become known as the Battle of Yavin. Decades of research and development, billions of hours of manpower, and millions of Imperial army lives were lost to an improbable proton torpedo attack. These saboteurs must be made an example of, and have now been tracked to the desolate, arctic world of Hoth. The Empire will send its best: the rigorously trained Snowtroopers and Stormtroopers of Blizzard Force, ferried into battle with all of the mechanized might the Empire can muster. Read on for a very special Scene to Stats, where we explore the contents of the brand-new Blizzard Force Army Box and bring a swift end to the Rebellion!

This limited edition Army Box is full of brand new, intricately-detailed plastic miniatures with which to start a new Empire collection or bolster your existing ranks. Two full units of Snowtroopers, now available in hard plastic, stand ready to storm the trenches, their Steady keyword pairing with their Heavy Weapons and the Imperial March upgrade to press forward relentlessly at your order. A unit of Stormtroopers is included for longer-range support; notably, the Army Box includes the Stormtroopers, Heavy Response Unit Unit Card in addition to their
more common Unit Card. The Stormtroopers, Heavy Response Unit is exclusive to the Blizzard Force Battle Force, and allows you to wield both included Heavy Weapons at once, thanks to their Flexible Response keyword. A pair of Imperial Probe Droids skirt the edges of
the battlefield, threatening vital objectives and monitoring the enemy’s movements with their Observe keyword. Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith leads your Blizzard Force with an exclusive, multi-part miniature and brand new Unit Card art, his null Courage and Compel: Corps Trooper pushing your troops on in spite of any dogged defense.

The Blizzard Force Army Box includes every card needed to play your new Battle Force army, including its bespoke Command Cards. Unrelenting Fire is a powerful follow-up to accompanying Command Cards like Debark for Ground Assault or Master of Evil, pinning the enemy down and preventing them from removing Suppression effectively. Overwhelming Barrage brings the might of Imperial firepower with two Beam attacks, each with Blast so no defenses stay your wrath. Debark for Ground Assault grants your Corps units Spur so they can rapidly cross the no man’s land, and grants their weapons Suppressive for when they get to grips with the Rebel defenders.

Your forces have reached the main power generator, and their shield will be down in moments. Build your very own Vader’s Fist today with the Blizzard Force Army Box, the perfect way to try out these brand-new miniatures for yourself – adding on to your Galactic Empire Starter Set or starting a new army altogether!
