Learn AT-ST Tactics With New Expansion For FFG’s Star Wars: Legion
January 15, 2018 by brennon
When it comes to scale, the folks at Fantasy Flight Games have certainly got it right with the massive AT-ST Expansion for Star Wars: Legion which will be coming shortly after the game's launch.
The expansion box comes with an AT-ST which dwarfs the model from Star Wars: Imperial Assault. As well as the model you'll get all of the appropriate tokens, upgrade cards and more to fit it in with your growing army.
Coming in at around 195 points when you build your army, it takes up a large chunk of your 800 point limit for a standard game. So, if you're going to use one then you need to make it worth the investment.
The only way to get through its armour with regular gunfire is to roll those criticals so it's going to take some special anti-vehicle weapons to punch through that armour as it rampages across the battlefield.
You can get into its blindspot however as shots into the rear of the AT-ST can be converted to punch through armour - still, this is no pushover!
It comes armed with all manner of special weapons and when you give it the character upgrade of General Weiss you can unleash hell.
What do you think of their AT-ST?

They put a picture of the At St on Facebook the other day. It’s around twice as big as the Imperial Assault model making it a pretty hefty model
looks good.
Air speeder with Wedge. Free move past an ATST, full pivot so you’re facing it’s rear arc, and fire with Impact 4. Several passes and the ATST is done.
I am quite sure that I get into Star Wars Legions, so … I need one. Already I practice imitating the sounds the machine makes whilst moving: Uuiigh-U Uuiigh-U.
I´ll have two chewbaccas, too. One is going to be cut in half. The upper half will be looking out of the vehicle, shouting: Roooooaaaaar. Which means, of course: “Hey Han, ol´ chap. Look what I got!”.
I am still totally unsure if I get into Legion, the scale just seems wrong to me…
Anyway, we are getting countless previews, but WHEN is the game coming out?
Looking mid-feb currently.
But where are the Ewok gliders?
Got one on order, I like the options in the kit, don’t see that becoming more than one. Legion looks good but not looking to it as a tournament game but rather a fun skirmish.
I will get it but i am thinking, when i see it, a couple of ‘concerns’ 1. Always using Luke and Vader in the battles, would like to see other leaders who are just ‘leaders, i.e. Rebel Commander or Imperial Trooper 2. Recreation of big battles will take forever with the die rolling , saves, etc.. 3. Scale for vehicles looks off, if i had a speeder, it should go from 1 end of the board to another in 1 move, it’s a speeder. For the ATST, it walks and it blasts and the only thing that should take it… Read more »
