Head To Hoth With FFG’s Snowtroopers & Veers For Star Wars: Legion
December 21, 2017 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games has previewed another of the expansion units for Star Wars: Legion. This time they are heading to the frozen planet of Hoth with their Snowtroopers.
The Snowtrooper set comes with seven new models as well as upgrade cards, tokens and more for you to use in the game. As well as their standard rifles you'll also find that they come with some special weapons too like the T-7 ion disruptor rifle which can be used to target infantry and some of the lighter vehicles in the game too.
It's going to be slightly odd using these Snowtroopers in games beyond the bounds of Hoth of course in their insulated armour, but I'm sure that they will make a splash as more specialised troops.
General Veers
You will also be able to pick up a character for your Imperial force too with General Veers being thrown into the mix as well.
Veers is of course not as much of a frontline combatant as Darth Vader is but he still has a commanding presence on the tabletop. He is able to give you better control of vehicles like your AT-ST walkers and also get troops into place with ease.
If you feel like playing a bit more of a tactical game, pulling the strings of your army from on high, then Veers is certainly a character to consider.
Are you liking the look of these new expansions?

Those are really nice.
What, no E-web blaster? Seriously, I love the models.
Love the mini’s and have to agree with @beetle , where’s the Snowtrooper E-Web ?
Yes, yes, yes! More great stuff for Star Wars Legion. 7 minis of snowtroopers and 7 poses, that is nice. Next thing to be made and released will hopefully be the Hoth defenders. General Veers looks good, too. As for his role on the battlefield I´m sure FFG will come up with some nice options and charateristics that make him “useful” apart from being someone for Darth Vader to practice his Sith mind tricks and choking gestures with.
The w-web will probably be a unit attacment expansion.
Still great to see new bits and pieces trickle out about this game, I’m excited! 🙂
Do they look badly out of scale next to Imperial Assault?
and are there going to be supply issues. The Imperial Assault packs I ordered from a Supplier took 8 months to arrive 🙁
Still they look awesome 🙂
It’s that latter question that could stop this from being as it could be
2018 is going to be an expensive year.
Same as every year then 😉
They look great, and I’m definitely consider buying into this, but I’m getting a little fed up with the typical FFG: “Here’s the second wave of expansions for this game that isn’t even out yet!”
*Considering darnit
I can only second that! 😉
If this were an lcg or board game I’d agree but it’s a tabletop minis game it needs a range of option and the avaiable pool expanded quickly. I think slow release hurt runewars.
Darth will be happy with this reinforcements.
These are not the Troopers I was looking for …
I like them, and really positive ffg arekeeping a good release tempo, I think that is something that hurt runewars. Minis games have very different releaee demands, particularly on new games.
Only issue how to pick a force that looks cohesive and incorporate all the toys? Suggestions welcome
