There are exciting releases ahead or Star Wars Legion fans. Get ready for new Droids and Clones that were just previewed by FFG!
Fantasy Flight Games announced more unit expansions on the way to Legion. With Rebels and Stormtroopers making up the majority of units to choose from, they’re now stepping more toward Droids and Clones! Take a look at the next releases that are on the way with this inside look.
Some o these pics show how each model is put together. These were revealed on FFG’s Twitch Stream.
Star Wars Legion Brings In a Wave of Droids & Clones!
Starting off with some fast-moving Droids, the STAP Riders are looking to be an awesome reactive unit option. If you’re getting pressed hard on one of your flanks, these dudes can scoot across the board and lob three black dice at the target.
Often deployed to support their fellow B1 battle droids in Separatist armies, STAPs can also relay information to other vehicles. When outfitted with a Command Control Array, a single STAP unit can serve as a vital link in an army’s integrated network.
Overall the kits look pretty straight forward. One thing to watch out for on a unit that uses clear flight stands is that you’ll want to paint your mini and detail the base BEFORE you glue it on. Or else it gets tricky trying to prime and paint your model without getting anything on the stand.
Within the STAP Riders Unit Expansion, you’ll find two beautifully detailed, unpainted STAP rider miniatures that featuring a number of customization options. Two different flight stands let you depict your STAP riders at different heights, while the STAP pilots themselves can be assembled in a variety of poses.
Republic AT-RT
Another walker is going to be hitting the table. First, we had the Rebel walker inside the core set and now the Republic is getting one.
Built for speed across any terrain, the AT-RT Republic scout walker lets a single clone trooper bring an entire unit’s worth of heavy firepower to the battlefield. Capable of striking from unexpected angles and outflanking formations of enemy battle droids, the AT-RT makes a formidable addition to forces of clone troopers.
Comparing the AT-RT to the STAP riders above, it’s got a little bit more firepower with two weapons (both having at least impact 1). Another sweet thing about this model is that it gets a free move at the very start o the game and you can climb with it!
The Republic AT-RT Unit Expansion puts a single beautifully detailed, unpainted hard plastic AT-RT miniature at your disposal that can be piloted by two distinct variations of an Advanced Force Recon clone pilot. Beyond the pilots, you can also pick the weapon mounted on the AT-RT’s hardpoint, choosing between a rotary blaster, a laser canon, and a flamethrower.
With this being the first look at a solid vanguard expansion for Droids and Clones, it’ll be exciting to see what’s ahead. There’s still plenty of units out there from the Clone Wars universe to pull into the tabletop.
With all of this covered, what will you be grabbing to play with next? What’s your favorite unit from the Clone Wars era?
