Star Wars: Legion Imperial Shoretroopers UNIT EXPANSION - Elite Troopers! Tabletop Miniatures Game, Strategy Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 14+, 2 Players, 3 Hour Playtime, Made by Atomic Mass Games

I bought 2 of these, for my son and myself to paint. They were easy to assemble, well detailed but without being overwhelming and fun to paint. I will say that the stance of this model is a little weird. I prefer the one in the base starter set but the model is still awesome and the impression of movement is pretty great.

Incredible value. This is another hit for the amazing Fantasy Flight games team. The miniatures are highly detailed and a joy to paint up. The rule set is their best yet and really gives you a gradual introduction into the complexity of miniature gaming. Just the core set is enough to have a small-scale experience. I would have dinged it a star for not including more dice, but for the price, you are already getting a lot and most other company's miniatures 2 player sets (looking at you 40k) have the same number of minis for twice the price.Component Quality:The plastic used for the minis to my mind is better than the brittle plastic for 40k or other table top miniature games. The minis are easy to put together and most are only 2-3 pieces that easily fit in together. Unlike other games, you won't have to hold the glue together after you glue them. The tokens and range measuring tools are typical high quality stuff from Fantasy Flight. The tokens are on heavy cardboard and easy to punch out. The rulers have great little details that make them look like Star Wars ship/droid components.Gameplay:I will need to update this later, but from my first impressions, there is a good amount of depth and decisions in every battle. I love that each scenario offers different conditions and the command cards really mix up the activations between players (many other games are "I go, you go" with a die roll for priority, but Legion gives you options to trade off priority for more activations and adds more strategic depth). I was amazed at how easy the game is to pick up just from the learn to play rules. And everything you need to know about a unit is on the card that comes with it. You will rarely find yourself hunting through the rule book to figure out how to activate your unit.Summary:This game is definitely more on the hobby side for miniature games (eg you will need to build and paint your minis), but it is manageably so. There are plenty of great painting tutorials out there and with painting shades/oils, it has never been easier to get into miniature painting. Star Wars Legion is a solid entry to the miniature war game front, and I can easily see it overtaking other major games due to the ease of entry and lower price point. I expect there will be a strong tournament and casual scene for this game. This core box is the perfect starting point and offers a lot of fun with just its components.

Rápido y buena calidad

This game completes me. If I'm not using them for legion, I'm using it for my TTRPG.

My first ever miniature. Painted while I was recovering from surgery. Model is greater, barely had to clean him up. I should've used better paints, but used what I had on hand. Turned out great, painted both helmets. Not difficult at all to assemble. Came with cards and tokens for the game, as he is an expansion, but I have no use for them. He's made of plastic, so durability is no problem. Don't know if he is worth the money for someone who wants to put him on a shelf, he is about 2 inches tall.

I like painting minis, tabletop wargames, and Star Wars - thus, Star Wars Legion immediately caught my attention and I ordered this core set almost as soon as I had heard about it.I only recently started getting into various Fantasy Flight Games products and I enjoy their nice balance of depth and simplicity. Legion, as a game, is on par with this as it’s easy to get into and grasp the mechanics of quickly so you’re spending less time reading rules and scouring forums for answers and more time actually playing the game.The miniatures themselves are surprisingly well made and detailed and fun to paint up.The core box itself is also a great deal as the value of the included minis (if you were to buy the individual boxes) would cost you between $100 - $150. Plus it comes with two (Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader) that are entirely exclusive to this set.HOWEVER, there are two issues with this box and they’re both aimed at FFG getting more money out of you.First off, you’ll quickly discover that to easily play a full game you’ll need to purchase the additional dice set. While the box comes with the appropriate white, red, and black dice you need it doesn’t come with enough of them. This will leave you playing in a manner where you’ll have to re-roll already rolled dice for attacks and defends and having to make a mental note of what’s already been rolled. It’s not a game breaker but it’s, quite simply, annoying and clearly a tactic by FFG to gouge you - forcing you to spend more money on more dice.Secondly, the units in this box do not come with ALL of their upgrades or associated cards. To get those, you’ll need to buy the separate boxes. Another blatant move to get more money out of you.These two moves really make it feel like you’re not getting the FULL experience and FFG is just unapologetically trying to squeeze you for more money - questionable practice to say the least.

My first tabletop war game. Bought it because my 7yo is a big Star Wars fan, as am I. He doesn't know the intricacies of rules and strategy, but he loves moving the minis and rolling dice.The minis are well made, and I like that I don't have to clip sprues. Some very minor mold lines needed cleaning and was able to paint the speeders and AT RT without riders, which was nice. Primed the storm troopers white and just picking out all the details with black. Simple, straightforward, but there are 13 in the base box! So much black and white... I'm almost done with both armies after a solid 12 hours painting over 4 sessions.I'd almost rather just paint storm troopers.... the rebels have a lot more tiny details to pick out, and I hate painting faces...
