The Emperor has finally arrived on the battlefield in Star Wars Legion, but he won’t be alone. He is also bringing his Royal Guard as well!

Get a close up look at the Emperor, and his Royal Guards for Star Wars Legion, as we unbox and build the models.

Imperial Royal Guards $24.95

Get yours for less from Miniature Market

Royal Guard

The Imperial Royal Guard expansion brings you 4 miniatures that feature one with a heavy weapons upgrade option, bearing a two-handed Force Pike. These miniatures will need a little glue and may need some extra shaping to get the Force Pikes where you want them.

The Royal Guards are really detailed and well sculpted as far as Fantasy Flight miniatures go, as they seem to get better with sculpts over time.

Royal Guard

The upgrade options for the Royal Guards can add some more pain for your Rebel opponents. The Royal Guards fill a special forces slot in your Empire force organization and come with Scout and Charge to help them get into melee quick and easy. The Royal Guards can take some hits for your other models in your Empire force, especially the Emperor!

Emperor Palpatine 12.95

Emperor

The Emperor, Palpatine himself, is looking good and is rocking his boss cane to deal with the Rebels. He will be personally overseeing your battles in Legion so there is no room for error or defeat. His very detailed model will strike fear in the hearts of the Rebels and is ready to blast anyone that gets too close with Force Lightning.

Royal Guard

The Emperor is very expensive for his points cost but has some amazingly powerful abilities in Legion. During his activation, the Emperor can use his “And Now You Will Die” command ability to attack again and again, blasting fools with his signature Force Lightning.

The Emperor can also use his abilities to immobilize units, perfect for your Royal Guardsmen who would love to bash the Rebels in melee combat.

Bring the might of the Emperor to bear against the Rebels with his Royal Guard entourage in tow in Star Wars Legion!
