Atomic Mass Preview The Shadow Collective For Star Wars: Legion
September 10, 2021 by brennon
Atomic Mass Games fired up MiniStravaganza yesterday and one of the big reveals was a new range of miniatures for Star Wars: Legion. If you've watched through The Clone Wars animated series then you'll be very eager to see these characters hitting the tabletop!

A whole range of deadly gangsters and crimelords are coming to the tabletop as part of this upcoming release. The Pyke Syndicate are on the warpath, ready to sow disorder and you've also got the Death Watch hitting the tabletop too under the sway of Maul!

It is very awesome to see the folks at Atomic Mass Games working on miniatures beyond the standard Separatists and Republic soldiers we've seen so far. These characters had a massive impact on the unfolding story of Star Wars in The Clone Wars series and it would be great to see Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka clashing with these criminals!
There is also going to be a brand new miniature for Maul that you can drop into your games. He is armed with the famed Dark Saber that gives him dominion over the peoples of Mandalore.

It is neat to see what Atomic Mass Games has been working on. They seem to be really focusing on The Clone Wars era which is obviously packed with interesting characters. As I mentioned above, it would be great to see more of the Jedi Generals from the period. I would also like to see what they have planned for the newest trilogy of films too.
If you're interested in more then Dallas from the Atomic Mass team also painted up some of the Pyke gangsters in the video below...

More details are to be released today…. rumor has it that mercenaries will be a new faction…. but I wouldn’t hold my breath
If they’re not “borrowing” the name Scum and Villainy from that other Star Wars game I’ll be sad.
It would be irritating
Too soon eh?
While I wouldn’t mind a Scum and Villainy faction there is still the same problem as in X-Wing, why would dthese different crime snydicates creat an army together and work together.
Because… it’s a game, and not a pea-counting recreation of only and solely what is established in the lore? I mean, how comes that I can only play the Clan Wren Mandalorians alongside Rebel Troopers – something which never happened in the shows and was deliberately not even implied?
Ooh they look fabulous and will be a great new way to play star-wars game’s.
Dam, just like buses. I’ve just finally managed to get my hands on Maul and his probe droids and there another one (although with cool robot legs)
Those look really good. They are even bringing back that bad guy from Shadows of the Empire.
Prince Xisor I think his name was. Hated Vader and kissed Palpatine ass.
It was frankly a very odd presentation. You get a 2 minute preview clip half just a few images of the models they say nothing about them and jump straight into painting them ignoring all the chat and comments. For the life me why they do this beyond me. They are really trying to pad this out over 3 days. They could have done this whole event in 2-3 hours.
I give AMG two years to make Mandalorians playable as a subfaction in the Rebellion-era with Bo-Katan and the Wrens leading their uprising against the Empire. Otherwise, I’ll reduce their headquarters to rubble.
Remember: I now have a Star Destroyer, too! Ho Ho Ho…
😀
Units from the era between episodes III & IV are the ideal release right now. Hoping they work the way Mercenaries do in some other games, either acting within other factions or forming their own.
