While you know the story of Star Wars, Star Wars: Legion lets you explore the galaxy from a certain point of view as you make your way through your own personal battle strategies, customizing miniatures and settings along the way. Not only will you find 39 miniatures of troopers and notable characters inside the Clone Wars Core Set just waiting for you to paint, you can design and craft your own battlefield terrain from the red sands of Geonosis to the shining platforms of Kamino. To begin building your Separatist armies, you’ll find eighteen unpainted, finely detailed B1 Battle Droid miniatures, enough for two corps units. Ready to support them on the battlefield are four Droideka miniatures representing these destructive droids in both their standard and wheel mode forms. fighting mode or as a rolling hamster wheel of doom, but the number of small fiddly parts makes assembly a chore.

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 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. Once you have assembled your forces you them need to assemble your force adding in troopers, vehicles, and of course, characters from the epic film series. Just as they should, characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader can change the course of the battle, if used to their strengths!

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.

The more content you have for a game, the more different strategies and armies you bring into the game, obviously there are some balance challenges there. Legions takes this intergalactic war to the surface as you pit the rebel scum against the Empire! Of course Star Wars is full of vehicles that don’t fly around space and Legions allows you mess around in AT-AT, AT-ST and SATs exams. (Maybe not the last one).

However, that’s not to say it wasn’t fun. It was fun, for the most part. Even when it wasn’t fun, even when the battle droid arms didn’t stay in the position I wanted them to, even when I was assembling the 4th module of the same 9-piece battle droid, it was still incredibly fun and satisfying at the end, knowing that I had built (though imperfectly) all 39 figures. There’s a greater sense of ownership here than with even my beloved Imperial Assault miniatures, many of which I’ve painted. All 35 miniature sculpts… and you need assemble every one of them! Star Wars: Legion designer Alex Davy and game developer Luke Eddy recently sat down with StarWars.com to talk more about the game design, the best ways for new players to get started, and offer some tips that even veterans don’t know for assembling and painting the miniatures.

The Stormtroopers unit leader is moved using the movement tool, and then all other minis in the unit can be placed in cohesion with the leader. Enter a new era of battle in the Star Wars universe. The Republic’s Clone Troopers face off against the Separatist droid army in this core set. Obi-Wan and General Grevious are also included, along with all the cards, tools and tokens you need to begin your own battles in this massive universe. You can mix this core set in with other expansions and core sets, but this set can also be played on its own. As skilled as he is, Kenobi may have met his match in General Grievous. Proudly wielding the trophy lightsabers he has collected from the Jedi he has defeated in battle, Grievous is a particularly dangerous opponent, his agility making him equally adept at avoiding damage as he is at doling it out. Within this Core Set, you’ll find one beautifully detailed General Grievous miniature that can be assembled in three different ways: with two of his trophy lightsabers and a cloak; carrying a single lightsaber and a DT-57 “Annihilator” blaster pistol while shrouded in his cloak; or with all four trophy lightsabers at the ready. With the Hoth Game Mat, you can return to the frozen snowfields where the Rebel Alliance once sought shelter from the Empire. No matter if you’re recreating the Battle of Hoth or running a new operation on the planet, Hoth is sure to feature some of your most memorable battles. It’s a game, so we can’t convey too much of that, but we always want to give a hint of who these characters are in the tabletop areas that we’re playing. And that’s a part of the game mechanics, too. Obi-Wan is protective in nature, he’s a commander who will defend his troops, he cares very deeply about the soldiers under his command. Whereas General Grievous has nothing but contempt for the battle droids that he leads, and that’s reflected in their mechanics. Grievous can use battle droids as shields, sort of cannon fodder, he’s going to pour them into the fight without real regard to their safety. Obi-Wan is going to do his best to protect every single person in his army. And that’s reflected in the way their command cards and game mechanics play out as well.
