Star Wars Legion – Galactic Empire Scout Troopers
The Scout Troopers, along with the Stormtroopers, have been updated with hard plastic miniatures, which are available through the new SWQ12 Scout Trooper kit or the Galactic Empire Starter Set.
This set replaces the old SWL19 Scout Troopers kit, which also contained seven miniatures. The old kit was made from a plastic similar to 'restic', whereas the new kit is made from hard plastic in an injection mould on sprues. The new SWQ12 Scout Troopers have an RRP of USD 52.99 and still offer poses/options for the proton charge and a sniper rifle.
Star Wars Legion – Galactic Empire Stormtroopers
The two core units of the Galactic Empire in Star Wars Legion, the Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers, have been updated with new poses and hard plastic. In this article, we will take a look at the new SWQ11 Stormtrooper kit, which is available in its own box or as part of the Galactic Empire Starter Set.
This new set replaces the former SWL07 Stormtrooper kit, increasing the number of miniatures per kit from seven to 11. While the old models are described as plastic miniatures, they are actually made of restic, a type of spin-cast plastic, whereas the new models are made of injection-moulded hard plastic. The new Stormtrooper kit has an RRP of 54.99 USD.
Star Wars Legion – Darth Vader
The HQ element of the Galactic Empire Starter Set is none other than Darth Vader himself! This miniature is not exclusive to the starter set and is also available as part of the SWQ103 set, alongside General Veers.
During the production of Star Wars Legion, multiple poses of Darth Vader were created.
- SWL57 Darth Vader (Operative Expansion - The Emperor's Apprentice)
- Darth Vader Limited Edition 2019 CON Exclusive
- Darth Vader from the SWL01 Core Set (Dark Lord of the Sith) - also included in SWL121 Blizzard Force
This new sculpt for the new edition is kept in the design from The Empire Strikes Back.
Star Wars Legion – ARF Troopers Unit Expansion
As part of the new releases from the AdeptiCon Roadmap, there are lots of new plastic kits, including the ARF Trooper Unit Expansion of the Galactic Republic for Star Wars: Legion.
The box contains eight miniatures: a Jedi Knight and seven ARF Troopers, one of whom is armed with an RPS-6 Launcher and the others with DC-15A blasters. The RRP is 55 USD.
ARF stands for Advanced Recon Force, and their squad is led by a Jedi Knight — a male Zabrak, similar to Agen Kolar or Eeth Koth.
The Star Wars games by Asmodee/Atomic Mass Games cover two time periods: both take place in the Star Wars universe, but are divided roughly into the Clone Wars era (22–19 BBY, or Before the Battle of Yavin) and the Galactic Civil War era (4–5 ABY, or After the Battle of Yavin).
It is not uncommon for tabletop wargames to be divided into different time periods; for example, World War II rule sets such as Flames of War and Bolt Action are also divided into early, (sometimes) mid and late war.
Star Wars Legion – Outer Rim Battles Terrain Pack
As part of the coverage on the Adepticon Road Map, we received a large package from Asmodee containing various boxed sets from their Star Wars Legion, Shatterpoint and Marvel Crisis Protocol tabletop wargames series. We want to review these sets, box by box, starting with the Outer Rim Battle Terrain Pack from Star Wars Legion.
With our upcoming Outer Rim campaign, we are excited to cover this terrain pack. This set has an RRP of 59,99 USD and contains ruins, rubble and walls, along with two mouse droids - a critter is usually included in each of these sets as an easter egg.
Having seen the product pictures/front of the box prior to this review, I was surprised by the amount shown on the back — more on that below.
Stargrave – Tales of the Outer Rim
A new project is incoming - the Tales of the Outer Rim (TOTOR), and I want to include you in the creative process. But let us set the tone.
It is a time of upheaval.
Nine years after the fall of the Emperor, new powers are struggling for influence in the galaxy. In the Outer Rim, old feuds are simmering, pirates and bounty hunters are making the fringes of civilisation unsafe. Amidst the chaos, small groups of smugglers, deserters and freedom fighters are gathering.
In search of artefacts, credits and a place in the new age, they face the dangers of a shattered galaxy.
With the rules from Stargrave and miniatures from Star Wars: Legion, these stories come to life.
Small skirmishes, great adventures — a new hope on the edge of the stars...
Star Wars Legion – Priority Supplies
This set has been around for a bit longer, I actually picked it up during my vacation in Spain (there fore the spanish and portuguese description / packaging). As I have a sweet-tooth for terrain, especially objectives and scatter, I picked these up at the local store in Santander (Distrito Zero), especially as I got a discount and paid around 20 EURs for them.
Priority Supplies is similar to Vital Assets a non-core addition to the game, and covers 12 items that can be used for markers, points-of-interest, mission objectives and so on, in detail they are 3 comms stations, 4 moisture vaporators, and 5 supply crates. As the set was released in 2018, it seems that it was discontinued by now, as it no longer listed by Atomic Mass Games or Asmodee - but there are several listings on independent stores, where you can pick it up between 20 to 30 EURs.
Star Wars Legion – Crashed Escape Pod
After the crashed X-Wing, we cover the next crashed terrain from the Star Wars Legion Battlefield Expansion SWL 43 - the Crashed Escape Pod.
And this is just not any battlefield expansion, but included R2-D2 and C-3PO as well, as it recreates their use of the escope pod to smuggle the Death Star plans off the Tantive IV, while crashing upon Tatooine in Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope.
Star Wars Legion – Crashed X-Wing
We are going to take a deep dive into Star Wars for a few weeks and we start with the SWL 100 - Crashed Ex-Wing Battlefield Expansion for Star Wars Legion.
Along with the regular units, Asmodee / Atomic Mass Games released supplements for the game that not just worked as terrain pieces, but covered rules like scenarios and additional gaming material to it. In this case the crashed X-Wing isn't alone, but comes with a female pilot, which doubles as a mission objective.
