    We mostly saw only the Imperial shock troops, but not the regular army. How does Imperial troopers look like ? I really can't remember having seen anything else than officers or ST. Where there some illustration of a basic Imperial grunt in comics or RPG stuff ?

    In ESB, there are snowtroopers. In RotJ, there are stormies,

    There are some ground battles in X-Wing comics, still stormies.

    There's a picture of what the Imperial Army Troopers look like on p. 43 of the 1st Imp Sourcebook.

    The pic shown is the Naval Trooper. The only difference is that Army Troopers wear a gray uniform instead of a black uniform and also wear partial armor for more protection.

    Essentially, if you need a movie reference, they are Death Star Troopers (the guys with the big helmets) with light armor.

    In fact, the basic "Trooper" is generally the same with slight variation throughout the Imperial Services:
    Death Star Trooper
    Naval Trooper
    Army Trooper

    And there's also a common trooper in between the regular army and the stormtroopers - COMPForce troopers. It's the military arm of COMPNOR (Commission for the Preservation of the New Order). They fall under the command of an Imperial Military Sector Group.

    They carry a lot more paraphenalia than their Naval and Army Trooper brothers and also look much like the Rebel Hoth Troopers.

    The Lightning Battalion of Imperial Troops is featured in Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire. They look a bit like police from Robocop with shoulder pauldrons.

    If you have played Shadows of the Empire for N64, there ae relguar troopers at the spaceport one. They have green pants, and lightly armored green plating. There helemt is green, like Naval Troopers helemts are. In the game, t takes the same hits as a Storm Trooper does. That an't in real life. Not everyone can be Storm Troopers. Also, after the Emperor died, Storm Troopers became rare to see, probally only seen with the remains of high ranking officers. So, to do a ground assaul, they had to use someone. And since the Imperials don't use Battle Droids, that only leaves one option, lower skilled and probally larger in number wise Imperial Troopers.

    Well, I more or less remember those troopers, but I doubt they're just basic grunts.

    I want to see a big Imperial army, ala Gungan or TF army. I'd like to see how they look.
