Star Wars fever has gripped the rag-tag crew of the TG-1300. Not only has the second season trailer for The Mandalorian dropped, but Fantasy Flight Games has finally released four new unit expansions for tabletop wargame Star Wars Legion.
Clan Wren
The infamous Clan Wren join the rebellion, led by non-other than Ursa Wren, Matriarch, and mother to our Clone Wars era favorite Sabine Wren. The seven Mandalore warriors bring the tradition and training of hundreds of years to the battlefield. Three of the warriors are equipped with jet packs and along with some Ascension Cables have unstoppable aerial movement. The set comes with a variety of weapons to customize your minis.
Republic Scout Walker
They are joined by a formidable ally in the guise of an AT-RT, a Republic Scout Walker, a one clone killing machine that carries enough firepower for an entire unit. The lightweight vehicle is capable of ambushing Separatist Alliance units and can easily out-flank slower battle droids. The kit comes with two different pilots and three weapon options. Our advice is to mod the kits with some magnets that will allow you to switch out pilot and weapons combinations between games.
Inferno Squad
Inferno Squad joins the ranks of the Imperium, being formed in response to the humiliating defeat at the Battle of Yavin. The kit gives a couple of assembly options; you can choose between a T-21 or an E-11 blaster rifle and two of the units can be assembled as helmeted troopers or as Gideon Hask and Del Meeko.
Separatist Alliance
The Separatist Alliance has called in reinforcements with STAP Riders inbound to provide aerial support. The kit contains two mounted B1 battle droids with a choice of flight heights, while the droids themselves can be assembled in a variety of poses. These nimble crafts give support to land troops. They are able to survive through the nimble craft’s agility, pulling off maneuvers impossible if the craft were piloted by a non-droid.
All unit expansions should be available now on the FFG website, or at your friendly independent games store. Clan Wren and Inferno Squad retail at $34.95 and the Republic AT-RT and STAP Riders have a sticker price of $29.95.
