Yeah Now ya say it. I was so caught up in the Hoth Theme though I was actually a bit surprised.

Better than Hoth troopers IMO.

No disagreement in regards to training in cannon, however FFG has already treated Echo base troopers as a separate entity to the "standard" Rebel trooper in IA. If for nothing else than to give people the option of different uniforms. I wouldn't mind seeing Alderaanian consular security though, particularly as I have seen rumors of Leia being the next Rebel commander released.

I think Rebel commandos will end up in the "Special forces" army slot, potentially as the Rebel release alongside the rumored Scout trooper sniper team.

HA! FOUND IT! :-P

EDIT: Just proving I had posted it and not just thought it.

Huh, kind of strange considering they seemingly were going for a Hoth theme with the first announced expansions.

Snowtrooper make sense with Veers regardless of Rebel releases.

Leia in her Endor combat gear makes the most sense for this game (Yay for sensible combat outfits for female characters!), and she is most closely tied to the Alderaanian consular security, which if that photo is to be believed are being released as Marines? (Soldats de la flotte is what I'm seeing on the box, Google translate says Soldiers of the Fleet, assuming that localizes to Marine).

@Caimheul1313 I didn't disbelieve you, let me clarify.

I did not see it coming, but now you mention it, it is obvious to me.

Bet you this will be the preview later today.

And I'm gonna be busy so won't even be able to cover it in a video until maybe tomorrow.

I don't think this is a "possible" spoiler. I think this is a straight up spoiler, and I'm happy to see it.

Also happy it isn't Hoth Troopers, and I like how they have modeled Leia. Fantastic!

love it.
very happy to see these troops and this version of Leia

Yeah nothing 'possible' about it. Looks like the real deal.

Looking at the French Fantasy Flight web site, they are now saying March for Legion. The Spanish site just says 1Q.

@Sk3tch I didn't think you were in any serious fashion, just was proving it to myself as much as anything .

To be fair, Leia had three designs that would be reasonable for this game: the white dress from a New Hope, her outfit Hoth, and her Endor combat gear. Given that Snowtrooper and Veers were the announced expansions, it was assumed by many that Leia would be released in her Hoth outfit. Upon further consideration, Endor makes MUCH more sense, and fits in very well with the design of the initial Rebel Troopers. To tie the Rebel releases together the former Alderaanian consular security, or Marines, makes a lot of sense as we only see those uniforms shortly before seeing Leia in two different films.

@tgall I really hope that's not the case, unless they for some reason are delaying so Waves 1&2 are out at the same time......

Wow! I am surprised and delighted! I love the fleet troopers! I just hope they have a little bit more gear than they have in the movies. Maybe some pouches

and backpacks in addition to the black vest. If not, no big deal.

I'm actually really happy that I don't have to rush my Hoth terrain and I can focus on Endor. I'm sure Hoth troopers are farther down the road.

Ok since the cats out of the bag, lets get an official announcement today FFG!

@JBar But now you need ship interior terrain!

I watch all of your videos for armada and legion and look forward to this video whenever you get time. Also jealous over the new armada expansions you received!

@Crabbok would be the luckiest gamer ever if that happens.

"fleet trooper" Or "Naval troops" or "Marines"...I think all of these can apply.
I wonder if they will get a bonus for "aiming" or hunkering down instead of moving?

Hmm these Rebel Troopers dont fit in with my Endor Battle Table at all.

I must purchase them!

easy fix...change the blue shirt to light green and the pants and helmet to dark green or brown.
boom "naval troops" outfitted for temperate forest landing.
