Featuring characters straight out of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Fantasy Flight Games has announced two new Rebel soldier expansions for their ever expanding miniatures game, Star Wars: Legion.
First up, is a single character expansion featuring the fearless Rebel commander, Jyn Erso. The Jyn Erso Commander Expansion includes one finely sculpted, easily assembled Jyn Erso miniature to lead your Rebel army into battle, complete with three new command cards to field in battle. Along with Jyn Erso, you’ll find the associated unit card and four upgrade cards for you to enhance Jyn Erso and your other units. Jyn will need a commando squad to lead so Star Wars: Legion is also launching the Rebel Pathfinders expansion featuring some of the brave soldiers who volunteered to fight at the Battle of Scarif. The Rebel Pathfinders Unit Expansion features six finely sculpted Rebel Pathfinder miniatures, enough for one special forces unit. This expansion also includes the unit card and an assortment of upgrade cards, inviting you to outfit your Rebel Pathfinders for any operation. You can learn more about these two upcoming expansions over on the Fantasy Flight website. Jim Henson’s Labyrinth was a game meant to invoke nostalgia to the classic movie starring David Bowie, and if the score on BGG is anything to go by, it doesn’t quite do it. But River Horse Games is looking to improve, or at least expand, on that experience with a expansion coming in 2019. Not much has been released about it other than the name and teaser graphic below, but it does show that five new figures will be added to the game, with four of them being these mischievous Fireys. Who do you think is the final figure in the middle? Another Jareth model? We will have to wait and see as new information trickles in from the River Horse Games Facebook, and look for the expansion in stores some time in 2019.
The Emperor, while certainly a master of the dark Force, is still in need of those to protect him when he goes out (he doesn't have a lot of friends). Those protetors come in the form of the Imperial Royal Guards, those red-robed sentinels always around him. In this preview, we get a look at what they'll be like when coming to the tabletops in Star Wars: Legion.
From the post: The Imperial Royal Guard is shrouded in mystery. Encased in blood-red robes and peering out from behind featureless masks, these enigmatic warriors do little to reveal their combat prowess. Regardless of the rumors surrounding them, their mere presence and menacing force pikes are all it takes to keep any visitors from making threats against the Emperor. Soon, you can witness the deft reflexes and superb combat awareness of the Imperial Royal Guards firsthand with the Imperial Royal Guards Unit Expansionfor Star Wars™: Legion. These elite warriors are trained in many forms of combat, making them equally lethal up close or from a distance. More importantly, they are unquestioningly loyal to Emperor Palpatine, following his orders without hesitation. Within the Imperial Royal Guards Unit Expansion, you’ll find everything you need to field a group of these crack bodyguards, including four finely sculpted Imperial Royal Guard miniatures. Additionally, the skills of your Royal Guards can be further enhanced by five upgrade cards, while a unit card and a handful of tokens help you fully integrate them into your army. Join us today as we get a look at what the Imperial Royal Guards are truly capable of.
