Oh, I agree 100% Stormtrooper swarms will be strong. But I think there are going to be builds with and without Thrawn. Especially at my LGS, the couple of guys who tend to run Stormie swarms frequently don't even have Thrawn. So, some of it will depend on the local playstyles. National meta level? Going to need time to play around with the various swarm squad options to see which really is the best. It's possible that a squad with the Felucian Officer and without either Thrawn or Vader will be the best purely because you get a LOT more troopers. Time will tell.
That may be, but it will take a lot of convincing for me to skip the blue man: that +3/+3 seems so integral to me with all of these powerhouses on the table now. But anyway, I think it will be even more interesting to see which Troopers make the cut:
stealthy Scouts?
evo?
Double-shooting navy troopers?
maybe even the sturdy dewback?!
I have no idea, but if I were to wager a guess, I'd say the artistry will come in the combining of the the different flavors.
