Fantasy Flight Games FFGSWL05_1 Star Wars: Legion Rebel Troopers Unit, Multicoloured

Product Information

Sentinel: Plays well with this gun, since you don’t have near the mobility of your Veteran buddies it can be hard to keep up. Rather than moving up and wasting turns, find a good safe spot to camp with a good line of sight and wait. It also is a great way to get around Cumbersome as it only applies to the same activation not the same turn. So move up and then Standby. Strategies These are the units almost anyone will want to have. While they may not go into every list you ever make (there certainly isn’t enough space) they will tend to fit in a wide variety of different lists, or are so good you’re liable to want to take them often. The first but not last Rebel corps unit in this tier, Fleets are reasonable as naked units (or medbot delivery) but they are just too squishy and unreliable to take as assault units, which is what you’re doing if you take their shotgun. Rebel Troopers And of course, perhaps the most entertaining way you can customize your army is by painting and customizing your miniatures! All Star Wars: Legion minis come unpainted, so after you assemble your army, you’ll be able to paint your miniatures into something that only you could have created. Although you don’t need to paint your miniatures, many players find it more enjoyable to play with a painted army, and even if you’ve never painted an army of miniatures before, Star Wars: Legion is the perfect introduction to the hobby. Keep an eye on the support section below for Star Wars: Legion painting tutorials. Star Wars Legion, or Legion for short, is a skirmish war game originally produced by Fantasy Flight games. As of 2021 production has moved to Atomic Mass Games who produces that other miniatures game owned by Disney. Like Crisis Protocol, the main draw to Legion is that the iconic characters you see in the movies are a powerful presence on the battlefield and all have very unique toolkits. Which heroes your bring can drastically change your list’s synergy and what units gel best with it. Luke Skywalker is very much a unit that wants to go in swinging into the opponent’s lines, while someone like Count Dooku wants his opponents to come to him and out duel them.

Fleet Troopers didn’t really leave their mark until much later. They didn’t change substantially, but costed a bit more than Rebel Troopers and had a niche role as close range shotgunners. Their cost came down and it became easier over time to put aim tokens on them so their general strategy of “stand behind a wall and wait” became more reliable. Nowadays they occupy a solid niche, usually filling 1-2 corps slots for guarding objectives. August 2018 – Han Solo and Rebel Commandos In October the Clone Wars set would come out, so things slowed down for rebels for the rest of the year while the new factions got more of a focus on unit releases to help bring them up to speed, so we won’t see anything new until next year. January 2020 – Rebel Trooper Upgrade Expansion, Luke Skywalker (Operative) and R2-D2 Comes with the box and you can consider them a pair, honestly. You can’t bring one without the Rebel Veterans but they rather cozily occupy a second corps slot, giving you two of your three right out of the gate.R2-D2– You have to buy an unfortunately overpriced terrain piece to get him but R2 opens up a lot of options for rebels. Notably, his Secret Mission can score you an extra point and in Legion, where games are frequently resolved on small margins it can mean the difference between winning or going to kill points for a tie breaker. Conclusion The recon intel on the vets also allows for forward deployment of the MkII’s for some cheeky fire support shots. This is the Way

Dooku– A master sith and a master of the battlefield. Dooku will really force your opponents hand while they are being buried in droid bodies. Legion is a rapidly growing game and at the time that this article is written Atomic Mass Games just announced the next expansions to the game will be based on the battle for Kashyyyk. This expansion will introduce Jedi Master Yoda, and new Wookies units for that can be added to both Republic and Rebel armies, while Separatists will see Magnaguard and a Super Tactical Droid that can be played as a named character or a second generic character. All these units will come with new abilities to the game and grant each faction additional options while forming their strategy. With a growing community of fans and plays, Legion will not be going away anytime soon. Rex– Rex is amazing commander that works real well with your corp units. He can really help you lay down some damage early in the game.Unfortunately after this point, COVID-19 began to settle in. Competitive events would stop almost entirely and the meta slowed down – as did releases. June 2020 – Cassian Andor Add even more personnel to your fight against the Empire. Inspire your troops with an Ishi Tib Rebel Trooper Captain or make your unit even more versatile with a Gran Rebel Trooper Specialist.
