Boba Fett & Scout Trooper Expansions Detailed For Star Wars: Legion
May 11, 2018 by brennon
Cult favourite bad guy Boba Fett is one of the new expansion boxes coming to Star Wars: Legion. Alongside him, Fantasy Flight Games also announced the new Scout Trooper Expansion too.
Boba Fett might be out for himself, but he can be called upon by the Galactic Empire to do their dirty work thanks to the contacts he has at his disposal. So, you're going to be getting this awesome looking Bounty Hunter thrown into the mix, ready to hunt down some Rebel scum.
This is Legion's first Operative model which are powerful units that can fight alongside your Commander. You can have two in each force. As you might imagine he is adept at shooting down his foes, causing havoc with their units and generally making a nuisance of himself. You can find out more about his abilities on the link above.
Recon Troops
As well as Boba Fett we also have the Scout Troopers Expansion which will bring a more specialised unit into the mix for Star Wars: Legion.
Much like as we saw with the Rebel Commandos these troops are key to seizing objectives, taking out important targets and harassing enemies from afar. They come with an array of different weapon options which allow them to engage at different ranges.
Make sure to let us know what you think about the new units for Star Wars: Legion. Is it getting you excited to play more?

It’s Boba Fett…..Nuff said.I am one hell of a happy Star Wars nerd right now, i never expected to see him this early in the games life.
Haven’t had a chance to paint my Veers, Snowtroopers or AT-ST yet and they give me more to choose from! 😀
Really wish that Fett wouldn’t have been an Imperial.
He’s more of a mercenary and would have been the a great first mini for being a neutral mini that either side could deploy…
Nothing stopping a house rule in your flgc for that, unless you intend on just playing in events ?
Yay boba fett for the wild card.
Bounty hunters. We don’t need their kind of scum.
Boba Fett and Scout Troopers are very nice. It’s just weird to see Scout Troopers without they Speeder Bikes.
I’m loving the pose on Fett. Scout troopers are solid too.
I have to disagree. I really don’t like the pose. Thou I love Boba Fett. The pose they did for the Imperial Assault one is better by far in my oppinion.

Oh yes, gotta get these.
Awesome, these units and abilities really open up gameplay options.
NEED IT!
This is ever so great.
@sotf suffers, because Jango´s clone son is imperial. But does he have to be? I regard this as a suggestion. Why not let him do a job for the rebels? He´s in it for the money, not for the wrinkling half-dead maniac whom we call the emperor.
The troopers are searching for droids on a desert planet, I presume. They went this way … Time to paint up some rebel troopers like desert rats or the Africa Korps. Aaaand … ambush!
Was also thinking of other forces in the future.
Things like a collection of bounty hunters for a guild force such as the books where Fett and Dengar teamed up through the majority of them.
Or for some real fun, perhaps have a variant setup for dropping the Slave I into the mix of things like the time Fett pretty much took on an entire Imperial fortress by himself on foot and utilizing the slave circuits on his ship…
I do wish they would release cards for folks that already have the Boba model from IA. But I am still going heavy into Legion
Fairly sure that’s intentional to try and force you to buy him; same reason they bumped the scale a few mm between IA and Legion.
Shame they didn’t manage to design a more elegant solution than the flight stand. Right now everything sells as it has Star Wars on it and the names of iconic characters, but in the cold light of day, their 28mm sculpting efforts are mediocre by today’s standards.
Oh yeah, now we are talking, scout troopers are looking great. Boba looks good, and is iconic, but I would rather of seen an actual Imperial leader, probably not the popular view. I shall buy them though and wait for Krenick and the death troopers.
I think it’s the lack of characters, they seem to be sticking to the movies at the moment for the releases for the moment and there are far more recognisable Rebels than Empire in that regard.
They will presumably move away from the original trilogy once they’ve established themselves a bit.
I agree, although I feel Rogue One fits the trilogy as part of the ‘first’ trilogy. They did say galatic rebellion would be the focus so there is room. Plus cool toys …
Although I would like to up the releases initially. Also I feel Legion is actual set for the clone wars.
I’m glad i was right in predicting Scout trooper (always loved their look) and Fett looks great.
Now we need Imperial officers!
With Boba being a new class for Legion, I suspect Chewie will be the same type for the Rebels. Not everyone can understand him so it makes sense for him to be a more action type trooper than a leader type.
Good point, although I’d call a wookie with a bowcaster sir on first meeting
As would i, it’s only proper decorum ( and i like my arms attached to my body 😉 ).
I don’t play Legion yet. But everybody needs Boba Fett. He can hang out with my Eschers and be a bounty hunter in Hive Primus. 😉
I absolutely love these future releases. The dynamic boba fett model is amazing and the scout troopers look they’re they’re gonna be awesome on the tabletop. Its a shame they’re so far off but that does mean it gives me plenty of time to get all my other projects ‘finished’
