With new battle force boxes coming soon, AMG has released a bunch of new Star Wars: Legion Shadow Collective rules and updates!
If you are eyeing up the new box and getting all those mercenaries into your forces, the Shadow Collective box is the way to go! It’s also nice to see some rules before you buy the actual product.
AMG released all the new rules, but let’s first look at the actual box, then get into the rules updates.
Star Wars: Legion Shadow Collective Starter Set: $69.99
Yup that’s right 22 minis including three squads and the man himself Maul for just $69.99 (retail).
This is just a really cool box with a ton of awesome minis in it! If you love everything Star Wars: Legion, check out what else is going on with it.
Here’s what they have to say about the new set:
The galaxy’s seedy underbelly comes to Star Wars: Legion with the Shadow Collective Starter Set! This set introduces mercenaries to the game, inviting players to hire units from the notorious Black Sun and Pyke syndicates to join other faction’s armies. Alternatively, Maul himself can unite these disparate criminals under the banner of the Shadow Collective and lead them as a standalone force. Alongside his Mandalorian Super Commandos, they form a threat that could bring the galaxy to its knees.
Star Wars: Legion Shadow Collective Rules
Starting with how you can build the battle force. Normally you can’t build full mercenary armies, however, this is one of the battle forces that allows you to do that. Plus, they update the loyalties here.
You have a decent range of units you can take, and obviously, everything in the box can be used for a single force. It’s fairly normal other than every unit included must be mercenaries. P
lus, you only have Black sun Enforces and Syndicate Foot Soldiers for your corps, and you must include at least one of those in your force. Some people are upset about no Fett in the force, but it doesn’t really make sense with the lore, so hey, sorry about that. You can download the whole thing here.
Rules Reference Update
Nothing too crazy here, mainly just some updates to bring the new battle forces into the game fully. However, if you want, you can download the whole thing here.
Will you be picking up the new battle force? Do you like the rules so far?
