Mount Your Star Wars: Legion Models On New FFG Sculpted Bases
June 8, 2018 by brennon
If you're looking to get into the hobbying side of Star Wars: Legion then Fantasy Flight Games' new Premium Bases might be what you're looking for.
The new bases are designed to work with your set of troopers from the core box as well as being suitable for use on vehicles too as you'll see by the Large Bases. They still have the notches cut in them for you to move models around, and while the guidelines for cones of vision are harder to see...they are there.
You can follow the lines on the interior floor panels to give you a rough guide as to facings which is neat.
Admittedly, you better hope you enjoy playing out your games on interior locations. Maybe we'll see more designs popping up later down the line if these do well.
Do you like these bases?

they don’t look half bad, but I’m guessing they’re still about 2cm thick. Like others I’m on the thinner is better side
No I don’t. The only unit I see fiting this theme are fleet troopers and stormtroopers… But, snowtroopers? Endor rebel troopers? jetbikes? Snowspeeders? an AT-ST? I don’t see all the units mentioned indoor… and i don’t understand the decision after this look because they neither fit the theme of thir “official” mat that is clearly a sandy junkyard…
The plain bases are what you would use for desert, snow…anything really. This does give the option of giving the troops you mentioned themed bases. Although it helps spotlight the issue I have with making a Star Wars miniature game. Most of all the troops in the mythology are environment based in their clothing/armor and it’s weird to mix them up in my heavily thematic brain haha.
If you do it right, you could frost them up quite a bit for Hoth basing. Either inside the ships as they’re ready to disembark, inside Echo Base, or even, if you look at Hoth in The Old Republic, there is the entire section of the planet that’s a starship graveyard…
Add a bit of fine sand and you’ve got the sand getting everywhere like it tends to in the desert…and you get to make Anakin cry
I think that clear bases are still the best
Are there any clear bases with the notches?
sarissa precision is making them on the EU/UK side of the pond and I believe Litko are making them stateside. All with the notches in them for the vehicles
WHY for the hate of god…. 27mm???? WHY!
Very interesting!just brought the rebel ships crew so these would be ideal!
they may work well for space hulk ?
