I know I’m mostly known for my takes on different RPGs, but I do appreciate other games as well. Specifically, I do love any game involving miniatures and chucking dice around. Star Wars Legion is how I like to get my FFG fix when I'm in the mood for a miniatures game. I'm not the largest Star Wars fan, but I really like the gameplay of Legion compared to other minis games. Other than maybe Warhammer 40K Kill Team, I've stayed away from lots of the Games Workshop games. This is largely because while I really enjoy rolling dice, I'm not a fan of rolling 3-4 sets of dice to determine if I damaged your unit. In Star Wars Legion, like many of FFG's other games, I roll a set of dice, then the defender rolls depending on how many hits I had. Then we see if any of my hits get blocked.

Recently, a large focus of Star Wars Legion releases have been surrounding the new Clone Wars box set (you can see me unbox the core set with my cat Oscar here). Eventually, I will get around to reviewing the Clone Wars Core Set, but the darn battle droids have taken me quite a while to get assembled, let alone painted. In the meantime, I'd like to talk about some of the last units that came out for the Empire: Director Krennic and the Imperial Death Troopers, characters made famous from the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story movie. Not only that, I'd like to talk about some new painting techniques that I used to get them looking as good as they ended up turning out.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert at this game, so if you are looking for detailed analysis of the point costs and how their abilities play into the metagame of Legion, you aren't going to get it here. If you enjoy playing Legion casually and want to know if it is worth picking up these units, keep reading.
