Star Wars Legion Snow Troopers Come In From The Cold
Snowtroopers are equipped for action in extreme environments. With special armor that allows them to survive in temperatures of -60 degrees, they are hardy–and they come with special weapons to help them take out Rebel Scum no matter where they hide. Take a look.
There’s a preview of the new Snowtrooper Unit Expansion for Star Wars Legion up today. Let’s take a look at what they do.
For starters, they’re slightly more expensive than their regular stormtrooper counterparts, coming in at 48 points. But they’re much more mobile–they are equipped to fight on the run, giving up precise for Steady as seen here.
So they can keep pressing the attack no matter what. They come standard with the same E-11 blaster rifle that the other stormtrooper units have, but these come with a few spicy upgrades. You can grab a Flametrooper or an Ion Snowtrooper, giving you access to some powerful attack weapons–the Flametrooper, in particular, is devastating against infantry.
With your Flametrooper, you can add a dice for each weapon in a unit you can see–at least within range, so if you can get up in there (which, with steady, you’ll be able to), you’ll be well equipped to take out big squads of troops. The Ion Blaster is, like all ion weaponry, great at taking on vehicles. Especially since you have impact, which lets you increase the effectiveness of your first shot.
These guys look radical, and you can pre-order them below.
