Imperial commanders will soon have more options than ever before when they choose who will lead their troops into combat—General Veers, the first new commander for the Imperial forces, is coming soon to Star Wars: Legion.
An expert in ground combat, and especially noted for his use of walkers in the surface attack on Hoth, General Veers is well acquainted with leading the Empire’s finest into battle against insurgents such as the Rebel Alliance

I have a game against a mate using both these. Dropped my AT-ST for Veers and Snowtroopers and managed to get another Stormtrooper squad. Due to the luckiest dice rolling and utilising special rules, I tabled my mate.
Not looking forward to Leia’s release as she is 10pts more than Veers, but much better special rules.
Quick Tip: Impact grenades are anti-vehicle. Concussion grenades are best for attacking enemy in cover as it has [Blast]. Impact grenades have [Impact 1].
Snowtroopers are going to be much more interesting, texture wise, to build up. There is the classic look as shown by the 501st: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TS_snowtrooper
But I am looking forward to seeing alternate schemes more than the Stormtrooper alternates.

I think the commanders add a lot of flavor to the game, and I am hoping to see a lot of variation in the lineup. However, I want more non-human species in the game. It has been quite human-centric so far.
I still want a Space Balls expansion.

Go back and re-read that Snowtrooper card! They’re not just a different armoured unit 🙂
They only have Move 1 compared to Stormtroopers 2 and “Steady” means they get a free ranged attack after moving, so you effectively get 3 actions per turn instead of the normal 2 – for example you can aim, move and fire as opposed to a Stormtroopers move & fire or aim & fire.
Have 3 squads of these and Veers sat waiting for me to finish off the last bits of my current project and then I’m off to Hoth! 🙂
I would like to see a rebel and imperial generic officer so the main characters are not used, Vader and Luke can’t be everywhere. Still, glad to see veers, met him this lasg weekend and ottawa comiccon, Julian Glover is General Veers
Nice.
Nice little video.I can’t believe you guys missed their special rule ” Steady “,they’re more than just cool Stormtroopers 😉 . As for paint, the troopers are definitely getting a Galactic Trooper paint scheme,rather than ” just ” being Snowtroopers for my Imperial forces.
