I picked this up a few weeks back and have since started work on sourcing a full range of both the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War ranges of Legion models. I actually got into both the Legion and Armada product lines whilst on the hunt for prospective miniatures to use in an Edge of Empire RPG game I'm looking to run with my social group when we finally manage to escape lockdown!Overall I've found that this is very well put together core box. For me the quality of the materials is key part of any game, primarily due to the high use that they can get if they're popular with the group. Suffice to say that this is no exception, the tokens, cards and rulebook feel like they should wear well with continued use and I love the artwork.I really like the models in the entire Legion range, not just this core box. Similar sort of build quality to the likes of Game Workshop, with a nice level of detail and solid build feel. This is also one of those ranges that I can see myself painting up all nice and fancy. They just look and feel like they're going to be an easy paint job!There are only two things I would raise.The first is to beware the droid models when putting them together! I'm used to taking apart flimsy bits and pieces from sprues over the years, but I suspect the droids are all very easy to break for the uninitiated, so be sure to take care when getting them off the sprues, I would suggest a good pair of clippers and/or a sharp crafting knife (I almost snapped the end of a blaster rifle whilst using a crafting blade but was luckily able to salvage it with a smidgen of super glue). Oh you will need to get super glue for this...My second point would be that it would be a little easier if the General Grievous model had individual blueprints for putting it together. There are several variant builds/poses for General Grievous, but (presumably to save space in printing) they've only used a single visual instruction of the model with all parts for all the variants shown, definitely threw me off for a bit trying to work out whether one or two parts were meant to be included or not!Apart from those two points it's a good little starter set and I look forward to dual using it for both Legion games and to supplement some RPG gaming. I only wish more of these came with foam to protect the models once their built...

Firstly, this is a great looking addition which also adds plenty in to the gameplay options. It can be run as a generic Imperial Special Forces unit (4-5 troopers) or as Inferno Squad (3 troopers). In addition, you get the option to use the 2 Inferno Squad heavies as upgrades to a regular Corps unit. All 3 possibilities are well worth exploring.My only minor gripe is that a single box won't allow you to do this fully. While the box states that it contains enough for both units, the truth is that it doesn't allow both units to be full. 3 troopers make up Inferno Squad, and 3 more E11 troopers can be used in an ISF unit. The final trooper in the box can be assembled with either an E11 or a heavy T21. ISF units require 4 regular troopers, with the option of adding one heavy. So if you build the final trooper with a T21, you will not have enough regular troopers to run both squads together. If you build the final trooper with the E11, you can run both squads but your ISF squad won't have a heavy weapon to equip. I believe this is the first time this has happened in any Legion expansion I have bought, so I was a little disappointed.

Whilst this is just the "core set" and really less than 1/2 of what you'll need to be able to field two full 800 point armies. It does contain enough to play the learning game on a 3x3 foot area and get used to the rules. You'll need to add either a second core set or several of the expansion units to reach two full armies, more if you want to add a great deal of variation to your army lists.The game is just so much fun. The rules are simple with just enough depth to bring tactics into play and with ample expansion units there's a lot of room for variation in play style and army lists. There's really endless hours of re-playability to be had if you get into this game.Requires a small amount of assembly and ideally painting, which can be a fun hobby in itself.

Excellent product, very good value. Just be aware that the clone troopers only have 5 or 6 parts to put together and can be built in minutes, the battledroids have more parts, smaller locating lugs and will take considerably longer. They can also be quite fiddly to handle whilst doing so. But persevere and you will be rewarded with some really good little models. May also be a little less rugged than the clones due to difference in material/construction if not handled more carefully - but i have had no disasters yet.

Easy to build. Good detail on hard plastic over the soft type used previously. A lot of fun to paint and can't wait to deploy these Phase 2 Clonetroopers. For the Republic!Recommended white primer and then a thinned oil wash. From there use whatever Clone Legion markings you want

I bought these as my first set before buying the core set of Star Wars Legion. It's a lot cheaper than buying the big box which is quite pricey, to find out you're not a fan of painting miniatures. These are very well detailed, and as you can see in the picture, easy to prime. I'm no expert but using this simple set of 4 figures to practice before jumping on the main sets and game, it's perfect.As for the people already in to the hobby, it's a nice little set that will boost your armies towards the dark side of the force.

Didn't buy for the game bought for the two figures which become Han and Luke on a snow base for display these look awesome as a display. Small too paint a good set of brushes help.

all good, easy to build, vehicles are a little fiddly and annoying at first but once you get the hang its easy enough, the men are easy to build and is great value for money and the plastic is quite good quality
