Star Wars Legion: Rebel Troopers

Rebel Troopers for "Star Wars: Legion" - plastic miniatures from Fantasy Flight Games.

Even more "Star Wars: Legion"? Well, why not? I'm making more progress on components from the core box set - here are the two squads of Rebel Troopers that come with the base game. These are 30mm plastic figures from Fantasy Flight Games (or Atomic Mass Games, or whatever the f*ck they might be called by now). Each squad is comprised of seven figures.

Squad one - ready to raise the rebellion...

Squad two, ready to take on The Galactic Empire...

While the soft plastic is something of a challenge, I did really enjoy these figures overall. They look great, and paint up pretty nicely.

Support weapon options for the squad.

In "Star Wars: Legion" think each basic Rebel squad is meant to be four troopers strong, and you can add to them from there. So the Core box gives you some options - you can bump the squad up to five troopers, or to add a trooper with a support weapon.

I could not figure out what, exactly, the sort of Ghost-buster-style backpacks were supposed to be...so I just went with black...

I went with a fairly generic palette of khakis, browns and greens for the uniforms on the troopers. I tend to think of desert terrain when it comes to a battle with Star Wars infantry, but these paint jobs could fit in fine with a wide assortment of terrain backgrounds.

Not sure if/when these will see action on the table, but at least the Imperial Storm Troopers now have adversaries. That's all for now - I hope to have some more "Legion" content to share before long. Thanks for reading!

They look bloomin‘ awesome Greg! Really dig your choice of colours for that Rebel scum. Pardon my French. Should feel right at home on Tattoine.
