As of right now, Legion’s only playable factions are for the Galactic Empire and Rebel forces. However, you can go ahead and pre-order the Clone Wars Starter Box and get ready to blast apart Droids and Troopers.
This box set will be coming with some of the most iconic units and heroes in the Star Wars lore like Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous.
Star Wars Boba Fett Expansion $12.95

Maybe you’re a fan of the classic Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker timeline. Well, did you know that Legion is full of playable units that you might not have expected? You can double down on wookies and devastate Stormtroopers up close with their sheer might. Or field the might Boba Fett
Star Wars Armada Core Set $79.99
Get yours for less from Miniature Market
If you’ve always been a fan of the massive space battles in Star Wars lore, you can live them out on the tabletop as well. Star Wars Armada pits massive fleets of Spacecraft against each other. Why not start your list off with a core set and save some money!
Star Wars X-Wing $39.95
Get yours for less from Miniature Market
This box contains everything two players need to get started playing X-Wing, including painted plastic ships, custom dice, cards, tokens, and quick-start rules. Advanced rules and special missions are also included to let players take their game to the next level.
While Armada might be a massively-scaled tabletop game, X-Wing is more up close and personal. The game dives down into the details of each pilot flying in your list. You can have different upgrades and named characters jump in the cockpit as you try to outmaneuver your opponent. If you’ve always liked the intense X-Wing dogfight scenes from the movies, you’ll probably love this game.
These are just a few Star Wars games that we recommend to anyone thinking about joining the tabletop world. You best places to start would definitely by purchasing a Core Box Set for any of the games. These are great deals, come with rules, and have models to get you started on your tabletop journey.
