GALACTA 25: Heavy Shock-Troops

More GALACTA 25!!!

This squad is painted in standard Rebel colors.

The Heavy Shock-Troops of the Galactan Empire are a rightfully feared force. A standard 4 man squad can decimate just about any resistance it encounters. Fitted for both close & ranged fighting as well as high mobility due to the RAAG assisted jump capability the troops should not be underestimated.

A standard Imperial Galactan squad consists of 4 troopers, 2 of each type. This formation can be switched around to include any mix of the types, but a squad is never more than 4 men.

The Rebel Forces have a hard time getting this type of armor and will never be able to field a squad of more than 2 men chosen from the Types listed below.

HEAVY SHOCK-TROOPER Type I:
Move: 6" / 12" RAAG Belt*
Melee: 6+
Save: 5+
Armament: Lazer Pistol 8+/8" (x2) & Flame Pistol 6+/4"

HEAVY SHOCK-TROOPER Type II:
Move: 6" / 12" RAAG Belt*
Melee: 6+
Save: 5+
Armament: Lazer Pistol 8+/8" & Blast Cannon 7+/24"

Special Attack: *RAAG Belt assisted melee attack
All shock-troops can attempt a special melee attack utilizing their RAGG belts. This "Death from Above" tactic is done by doing a RAAG movement and landing in a space already occupied by other troops. Using the base of the figure as a template see how many opposing figures the Trooper will land on. This counts as a 5+ melee attack and any targets suffering a Hit must make an immediate saving throw or be squished by the Shock-Trooper landing on them!!
