Opinion - converted scouts as officers

By Winter79, in Star Wars: Legion

Hi FFG hive mind

I assume you can have multiple officers leading different units ? Could you have two officers as commanders?

I won an extra set of scouts - probably use the 3 minis for strike teams - that leaves 4 minis. I'm not a fan of the normal scout unit, but feels a bit of a waste.

I'm thinking of using some these as custom officers - Although i'll buy 2 or 3 specialists so I have the cards and droids etc.... having multiple officers just wont look right out of the box.

Cut the heads off the scouts, use 3rd party heads, paint a bit like IA infiltrators. I think they will look the part.

2 questions

Do you think according to the rules these models will be acceptable as replacement officers in organised play.

Any suggestions for heads.

If it looks cool, can be readily identified and isn't dodgy then go ahead, this is a wargame hobby and too many peple forget the converting aspect.
