COMIC BOOK - Units

By wintermoonwolf, in Star Wars: Legion

Would be interesting (and fun) should some of the current STAR WARS, DARTH VADER, DOC APHRA comics include some of the unique individuals and unit types into the game...

SCAR Troop (Special Commando Advanced Recon Troopers) with Sergeant Kreel, Zuke, and others.....

Imperial Officer Magna Tolvan, Captain Punfor, Triple-Zero, and BeeTee-One, and others...

Did I miss any individuals or unique potential units? Or have clips of photos of the folks?.....

....vielen danke...

With all the information out there between comics, books, movies, and TV shows, they could put out a new release for Imperials alone every month and be busy for a decade. Just doing a Sand Trooper detachment would have Sand Troopers, heavy weapons, scout snipers, Dewbacks and riders plus the already released AT-ST and Speeder bike scouts. They have no shortage of units to pick from. While I personally cant wait to build a Shore Trooper detachment with support or an Ice Trooper unit, I hope they knock out the basic Storm Trooper units first before moving on to the more specialized units from the movies, then reaching into the more esoteric units from comics and books that relatively few know anything about. Further, pray they make things balanced so your storm troopers today, wont be outclassed by say Ice Troopers in 2 years. They should all be roughly equal in power and not an arms race.

I totally agree, I would definitely buy the s**t out of a shore trooper pack but if this or any pack becomes seriously op and become must include for armies It will piss me off.
I hope they find a way to make units different without power creep. I would like maybe something thematic, shore troopers according to the wiki :
- " They also had limited or no upper leg armor for swifter movement in battle, similar to Scout Troopers "

Therefore a shore trooper unit could be based in the Stormtroopers with white dice and defensive surge conversion (same as the rebel troopers) but in return get some kind of extra mobility through some yet-to-come keyword (nimble would be already too much IMO cause I would leave the precise 1) or simply for less points.

FFG loves to recycle, especially their art work. It isn't too hard to figure out what the possibilities are for new units in this game.

We just started getting some characters from rebels/comics in imperial assault. I'm hoping we get them a little sooner in legion. Aphra droid army??
