From the original Publisher's Description: "Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Star Wars™: Legion, a new miniatures game of infantry battles that invites you to join iconic heroes and villains, lead your troopers into battle, and battle for the fate of the Star Wars galaxy. With Star Wars: Legion, you can build and paint a unique army of miniatures. You can command your troops in battle and devise masterful tactics. And you can conquer your opponent’s army to bring victory to the light side or the dark side!" Under the Empire, the strength of a stormtrooper battalion had been raised to 820 men, suggesting some restructuring of the legion organization, although it remained a force of several regiments. Stormtrooper legions may also have been closer in number to battlegroups in the Imperial Army, which had approximately 10,000 front-line troops in an overall strength of close to 15,000. We’ll take a closer look at everything included in this expansion in a future preview! Prove Yourself Star Wars: Legion is a tabletop miniatures wargame where players build, paint, and outfit entire armies. Up until now, the game has taken place during the events of the original trilogy, covering the battle between the Empire and the Rebellion. But this new core box is set during the events of the prequel trilogy (as the title suggests, the Clone Wars). This two-player Core Set contains everything players need to get started with basic battles, but waves of expansions have since followed its release, allowing players to create full armies. General Kenobi leads a fighting unit of Republic Clone Troopers in Star Wars: Legion. Clones and Droids, The Tools Of War Some sources [ source?] suggest that an Imperial stormtrooper "division" was carried aboard each Star Destroyer. This unit might equate to the legion and in turn to the Imperial Star Destroyer's troop complement of 9,700 men, but no unequivocal support for this hypothesis exists.

Within the box you get three miniatures, Commander Cody, Waxer and Boil and each are easy and fun to build. What I really like about this set is that all three models give you all their visual options on how to bring them into battle, all three can be constructed with either phase I or phase II helmets and with both Waxer and Boil they also come with a third helmet option that creates another option of how they can be brought into the battle. For long time star wars fans this means you can construct them to represent your favourite part of the clone wars and this can even encourage buying multiple copies to create these different variants for more accurate versions if you wish to create iconic battles. A BARC Speeder miniature gives your Clone Troopers some much-needed speed as they look to outmaneuver the Separatist's battle droids and can be assembled with or without its sidecar. Those who include the sidecar can further customize their speeder with a twin laser gunner, an RPS-6 gunner, or an ion gunner.In our How to Paint Everything series we look at how to paint well, everything, with different methods, approaches, and painters. In this article we’re looking at how to paint the forces of Star Wars: Legions. This core set introduces the Separatist Alliance and Galactic Republic factions to STAR WARS: LEGION. It contains everything that two players need to stage a battle between the Separatist droid forces and the clone soldiers of the Republic. This core set can be used as a starting point for collecting STAR WARS: LEGION miniatures and for building and customizing your own Separatist or Republic army!

Nuln oil – slightly thinned down then covering the whole model to create a worn detail to the armour The rule set governs command in an intuitive way and allows for fog of war and moments of chaos as a real laser battle would no doubt descend into!

Beyond his skills as a warrior, Kenobi is also a leader to the clone troopers under his command. As a commander, he holds great influence over your army, of course, and has plenty of ways to impact the tactics you employ in battle. He can, for example, use his mastery of the Force

None of these clone’s efforts would be worthwhile without proper communication, of course, which makes a

Phase II clone trooper armor reflected one of the Republic's greatest technological successes and included advanced tactical gear that further augmented the clone troopers' individual strengths. Additionally, the clones wearing this armor were themselves better trained and more experienced than those first deployed at the start of the war. For an even greater impact on your battle plan, though, Obi-Wan Kenobi turns to his command cards, which augment his own abilities and extend the benefits to his entire army. Kenobi is already a defensively-minded commander, for example, but he becomes nearly impossible to hit when he embraces the Jedi philosophy of Whether they use these tools to skirt an enemy’s flank or wade straight into the action, ARC Troopers have the training to deal with any situation. A healthy dose of Read on for more information on what to expect in these expansions! Anakin Skywalker Commander ExpansionStar Wars: Legion puts you in command of your own army of units straight out of the Star Wars saga, engaging your opponent in furious firefights across a war-torn galaxy. During a game, you will strategically maneuver your troops through bombed-out warzones, unleash barrages of blaster fire, and engage in lethal lightsabre duels in a desperate struggle to determine the fate of the galaxy. For the white armor I start by fixing any issues with Corax white so I can get the minis ready for its contrast mix wash. This wash is a simple mix of 2 parts Apothecary White, 1 part Belisarius Gray, and 3 parts Contrast Medium which makes my “Trooper” mix. The goal with the mix is to make sure it settles in the recessed areas and making them a darker shade of gray while giving the rest of the white armor some character. For the shoulders, helmets and chest areas you’ll want to make sure that it only pools in the recess such as the cheeks in the helmet and under the pecs in the armor. For any errors a thin layers of Ulthuan gray can help fix the issues as it’s somewhat close to the effect we’re looking for. Two sqauds of Phase I Clone Troops enter the fight to preserve the Republic. Five carry the DC-15A blaster rifle while two heavy weapons specialists add extra firepower with a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon and a DC-15 blaster rifle modified to fire from long range. Both Fives and Echo have an additional wounds statistic that they use instead of the wounds statistic of the unit they are attatched to.

The Separatist Alliance relies on its seemingly endless ranks of battle droids to secure victory in the battles of the Clone Wars. It should be no surprise, then, that still more droids are used to maintain these vast droid armies. While members of the Separatist high command like Count Dooku are plotting a galaxy-wide strategy, T-series Tactical Droids are leading the way on the ground and other droids, like the PK-series worker droid, are keeping the army up and running. While Jedi Generals like Anakin Skywalker lead the Grand Army of the Republic, clone troopers keep it running at peak efficiency. Some clones even combine the skill at arms and genetic template all clones share with further specialized training in areas like communications and engineering to support Republic operations on the ground. According to the formations and deployment section of the Stormtrooper Corps chapter, a squad was eight to ten stormtroopers. A platoon, likewise, was made up of four or five squads, while the remaining formations up to legion were all consistently at four. As such, squads and platoons with the minimum number of troops would have had 8,192 stormtroopers per legion, and those with the maximum number would likewise have had 12,800 stormtroopers per legion. In addition to introducing the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance to the game as new factions, this Core Set contains all the cards, tools and tokens you need to begin staging your own Star Wars battles right away, making this the perfect starting point for building your Star Wars: Legion collection. Importantly, the Clone Wars Core Set is not a new edition of the game, and you don't need the original Core Set to start playing. The Clone Wars Core Set is fully compatible with all previous Star Wars: Legion products, inviting you to play out whatever battles you can imagine across the saga.The best-documented legion organization was that of the Grand Army of the Republic, in which a standard legion consisted of 9,216 soldiers, as mentioned above. These were divided among four regiments, each of four battalions of 576 men. Two squads of B1 Battle Droids are ready to crush any resistance with sheer weight of numbers. Seven are armed with E-5 blaster rifles, while two heavy weapons specialists bring either an E-5C blaster rifle or an E-60R missile launcher. Movement in Star Wars: Legion is fast and organic as you send your troopers marching forward. Every unit has a speed which determines the jointed movement tool that you’ll use to move that unit. You simply align the movement tool with the base of the unit leader and move it to the end of the movement tool.
