Shut Down Rebel Riots With New Star Wars: Legion Sets
August 23, 2024 by brennon
Atomic Mass Games has previewed a couple of new 28mm scale Star Wars: Legion sets that you'll be able to scoop up for the revamped and updated game. Both the Rebels and the Empire get some fun miniatures to play with, starting with the Rebels and their Sleeper Cell.
Rebel Sleeper Cell // Star Wars: Legion
The Rebel Sleeper Cell set contains eight new miniatures representing a special forces unit for the Rebels that works behind enemy lines. As you might have guessed, they work using stealth to set up ambushes, sabotage Imperial supply lines and when called for, blow stuff up!

The set comes with a good mix of both human and alien Rebel members, armed with a solid selection of different weapons. I do like that they have added in a Loth-cat, harking back to the Rebels TV show, a nice nod indeed. You get the sense that they have just busted out of different shops and dwellings, ready to take down the Empire and stop whatever machinations are afoot.
As well as the Rebel Sleeper Cell, you also have some Empire forces who are going to put them down. The Imperial Riot Control Squad is getting ready to lay down the law.
Imperial Riot Control Squad // Star Wars: Legion
This set comes with seven miniatures. You get enough for one Corps unit alongside all of the cards and upgrades you prefer. These folks aren't here to shut down just anyone. They are here to keep the peace and make sure everything runs as intended. Nothing nefarious going on here.

You get a bunch of Stormtroopers with E-11 blasters as well as others who are looking to get stuck in during close combat with their electro-batons and shields. These Stormtroopers are also backed up by a pair of Security Droids.
Both of these sets are available for you to pre-order now from Asmodee and should see a release in the middle of October.
Will you be siding with the Rebels or the Empire?

These aren’t the minis I’m looking for …
Why not booth? Sell weapons to both sides. Maximise profit! Rules of acquisition!
Not done with SWL….
Definitely done with Atomic Mass price gouging.
I love Rogue One, Andor, and Rebels. I’m working my way through the old and new Thrawn books with my son. These fit the vibe of those works well. I’ve been waiting for more creativity and branching off from AMG.
Looks like I’ll be buying more SWL soon!
(is it funny or ironic that these get announced shortly after England has been having massive riots)
im glad the rebels are coming with lots of different alien types. the diversity is a big appeal to this boxed set.
I feel like this unit should have been Scouts, rather than Stormtroopers, as they have already set that precedent with the Fallen Order games. Nice to see some new Stormtrooper figures though.
I know what you mean but as a counter point I think they’ve got this right because the Andor TV series had them in full armour and in real life when police or the military get put onto public order duties to fight rioters etc they put on more armour and shields rather than less armour. to counter my own point however, in universe stormtroopers are supposed to be few and far between shock troops rather than generic fodder or crowd control, the Solo movie kinda showed us that rather than the previous ‘fluff’. either way, I like them and… Read more »
You make a fair point! I had always wondered how Scouts were able to ‘scout’ with those massive shields tbh!
Smashing minis, looks great.
