Even though the Stormtrooper Corps was the only major Imperial Military branch to utilize legions, various Imperial Military units that included both the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy could sometimes be compared to legions if the manpower and force strength was sufficient, especially if the unit in question was a joint task force for all three major branches of the Imperial Military utilized for a vital objective. This was especially evident during the Battle of Endor, where the Galactic Emperor Palpatine, when revealing to captive Rebel commander Luke Skywalker that the Rebel Alliance's Endor strike team was headed into a trap, referred to the unit guarding the Endor shield generator bunker, Tempest Force, as "an entire legion of [Palpatine's] best troops."

Painting white can often be pretty intimidating but there’s a lot of great tools out there to help ease the process. While I start mine with a light grey prime and then a white ink zenithal, you could just as easily rattle can prime grey and use a directional white drybrush to get a similar effect. Soon, these heroes will rise from the ranks of your Star Wars™: Legion armies. Fantasy Flight Games is happy to announce four Clone Wars-era expansions: From legendary heroes to cold and calculating droids, these expansions bring new ways to build your Star Wars: Legion armies and prove your worth commanding them.

The legion was not a standard element in the line Army forces of either the Galactic Republic or Galactic Empire, which identified comparable formations as divisions and battlegroups. It was, however, a key field formation for the white-armored clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic and their successors, the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire.

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. Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous each pose with lightsabers at the ready, prepared to lead their troops into battle and show off their skills in combat. Both these miniatures are exclusive to the Clone Wars Core Set. [3] When you’re ready to deploy them to the battlefield, the ARC Troopers are an adaptable unit made even more versatile by eight upgrade cards that invite you to outfit them with additional heavy weapons, gear, and more. Join us today as take a look at everything included in the ARC Troopers Unit Expansion!Effective Clone Trooper armor that emulates what we see in Star Wars: Clone Wars isn’t that difficult with a little now how. Looking over images of the Clones in the show we see that battle hardened clones of the series have mostly white armor with hints of gray. It took a bit of referencing stills from the show with some testing and eventually I found that contrast paints would work great for Clone Wars style armor. It was I who allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them." ―Emperor Palpatine, to Luke Skywalker [1] But ARC Troopers can contribute more to your army than just their skill with specialized weaponry. Each ARC Trooper is an example to the troops around them and this expansion includes two exceptional ARC Troopers who can either fight alongside their fellow ARC Troopers or bolster one of the Republic’s corps units. Beyond boosting the combat effectiveness of his unit,

A lightsaber is an effective weapon against both blaster fire and other melee weapons, particularly in the hands of someone who has received extensive training. Anakin Skywalker can use this training to adopt a In this set, the Galactic Republic squares off against the Separatist Alliance, each force coming to the battlefield with a different tactic. For the Republic, the core set includes two squadrons of Phase I Clone Troopers, a fast-moving BARC speeder (with optional sidecar), and Obi-Wan Kenobi serving as commander of the troops. For the Separatists, two factions of B1 Battle Droids, two spinning Droidekas (in both wheel and active mode), and General Grievous serving as the Separatist commander. Two squads of B1 Battle Droids are ready to crush any resistance with sheer weight of numbers. Seven are armed with E-5 blaster rifles, while two heavy weapons specialists bring either an E-5C blaster rifle or an E-60R missile launcher. [3] If a Clone Commander has spotted some advancing enemy units, they can take more direct action by calling in some devastatingA BARC Speeder miniature gives your Clone Troopers some much-needed speed as they look to out-maneuver the Separatist's battle droids and can be assembled with or without its sidecar. Those who include the sidecar can further customise their speeder with a twin laser gunner, an RPS-6 gunner, or an ion gunner. In the chaos of combat, ARC Troopers can be counted on to take the lead and set the tone for their fellow troops. Scouting ahead as soon as they hit the ground, they are considerablly more mobilite than other troops, allowing them to take up advanced positions and get the drop on enemy forces. This mobility is only enhanced by the wide variety of equipment they can carry into the field, including Within the box you get three miniatures, Commander Cody, Waxer and Boil and each are easy and fun to build. What I really like about this set is that all three models give you all their visual options on how to bring them into battle, all three can be constructed with either phase I or phase II helmets and with both Waxer and Boil they also come with a third helmet option that creates another option of how they can be brought into the battle. For long time star wars fans this means you can construct them to represent your favourite part of the clone wars and this can even encourage buying multiple copies to create these different variants for more accurate versions if you wish to create iconic battles. But being an effective commander is about more than your individual combat skills. In addition to being a renowned duelist, Anakin Skywalker also leads the legendary 501 st Legion of clone troopers and his bravery is often reflected in those he commands. Skywalker became a

Both these miniatures are exclusive to the Clone Wars Core Set. It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again! War has engulfed the galaxy. The vast forces of the Separatist Alliance, bolstered by seemingly endless ranks of battle droids, have pushed the Galactic Republic to the brink of dissolution and defeat. The Republic's only hope is its army of elite clone troopers, led into battle by noble, Force-wielding Jedi Knights. The war between them is an epic struggle where every battle could turn the tide and change the fate of the galaxy. You can immerse yourself in this epic conflict, assembling your forces and leading them against your opponents in the legendary ground battles of Star Wars™ with the Clone Wars Core Set for Star Wars™: Legion! [3] This is the first time I’ve ever set out to fully construct an entire core set, and while I struggled a bit at first with the droids, after putting a few together I felt like I really hit my groove. I no longer needed to look at the instructions, and I was able to use way less glue (and get way less glue on my clumsy hands). Painting the droids and clones was a delight, and it was fun to come up with ways to differentiate each unit. For my clones, I decided one should be pristine and shiny, and the other looking a little worse for wear, mud-stained and haggard. General Grievous leads an overwhelming number Separatist Battle Droids in Star Wars: Legion. Search Your Feelings The Separatist Alliance relies on its seemingly endless ranks of battle droids to secure victory in the battles of the Clone Wars. It should be no surprise, then, that still more droids are used to maintain these vast droid armies. While members of the Separatist high command like Count Dooku are plotting a galaxy-wide strategy, T-series Tactical Droids are leading the way on the ground and other droids, like the PK-series worker droid, are keeping the army up and running.While the Battle Droids and Clone Troopers you find here mainly saw action during the Clone Wars, this does not mean they’re limited to fighting one another in Star Wars: Legion. Once you’ve built your clone or droid army, you’re free to deploy it against the forces of the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance and play out any Star Wars ground battle you’d like!
