Yoda, Wookiees, MagnaGuard & More For Star Wars: Legion!
March 22, 2021 by brennon
It was a big weekend for the folks at Atomic Mass Games as they showed off what they've been working on for Star Wars: Legion. Those who like the Clone Wars era are going to be very happy! Leading the way was Yoda!
Yoda // Star Wars: Legion
Shop Star Wars: Legion @ Store.OnTableTop
Yoda is leaping his way into the world of Star Wars: Legion soon with lightsaber at the ready and plenty of Force powers to boot. He comes in at a whopping 200 points but is there really a price you wouldn't pay to include this masterful Jedi in the mix?
Of course, his lightsaber is ready to slice and dice but he also gets that Force Wave ability which will no doubt be quite handy when surrounded by droids! I love the idea of Yoda dropping in and just sending clankers scattering with his abilities.
Wookiee Warriors!
As well as the new miniature(s) for Yoda, we also got some Wookiee might! More Wookiee Warriors are on the way with a couple of different sculpts shown off over the weekend.
Wookiee Warrior // Star Wars: Legion
This new kit is very much focused on delivering that moment from The Revenge Of The Sith on Kashyyyk. The new set WILL be dual faction and work for Rebels and Republic armies, working as a semi-replacement for the old set.
Wookiee Warrior // Star Wars: Legion
I say "semi-replacement" in that it will come with new options for the Wookiees who now get a lot more in the way of ranged weapons. However, your old Wookiee Warriors pack will still be viable (of course) and give you a more melee-focused unit to drop into your games.
Here's hoping that we're going to be seeing some Wookiee characters down the line beyond just Chewbacca. The dream of a big furry army is very close indeed (insert Wookiee roar).
Clankers!
In addition to the miniatures for the Republic, we also got a new set of previews for the Separatists. Here we have one of the upgraded Super Tactical Droids.
Super Tactical Droid // Star Wars: Legion
If you want to step away from the need to have anyone even slightly organic in your army then this is another good option. We already saw a Tactical Droid as part of one of the recent sets but this adds another level of tactical planning to your force. You could even paint it up like General Kalani from The Clone Wars show!
When running someone like Kalani on the tabletop, you might need a little bit of extra protection. You don't want someone sneaking around the rear of your force and shooting him! That's where the MagnaGuard come in!
MagnaGuard// Star Wars: Legion
People have been wanting MagnaGuard for a really long time at this point and it's good to see that we're finally getting them! Able to go toe-to-toe with Jedi, these droids might be what you need in the absence of someone like Maul or Dooku in your army. You could also refight that clash aboard Grievous' flagship in Revenge Of The Sith.
New Vehicles
If that wasn't enough, we also got a peek at some new vehicles which are getting added to Star Wars: Legion.
A-A5 Speeder Truck // Star Wars: Legion
The A-A5 Speeder Truck gives you a solid Rebel transport option that has been stolen and added into the arsenal.
You might also find a use for the LAAT/le Patrol Transport which can be used as part of a Republic or Empire force depending on the era that you're fighting in.
LAAT/le Patrol Transport // Star Wars: Legion
It's nice to see more of these smaller vehicles getting added into the mix to give you the option to build on the mechanised element of your armies. Being able to drop troops off at vital locations and provide them with a bit of cover means that you're not having to slog it across the battlefield on foot.
I am very encouraged by what Atomic Mass Games has been showing off and it looks like they have some neat ideas for Star Wars: Legion going forward.
A good weekend for Star Wars: Legion? Let me know in the comments below...

Great stuff, really like Yoda, the MagnaGuard and the LAAT, still waiting for an old Ben Kenobi.
Like the Yoda with his three poses but sadly is only for the CW forces. Wookies will go on the order page just for collection completeness sake and the vehicles are already on preorder XD
I think he’d be a bit old in the Rebellion era to do much fighting!
But the force is strong with him! A powerful ally, yes.
True. And grandpa Palpatine is in the game…
So why do we have Palpatine?
Good question. After all from what I remember from SW EU (I am not sure was it old or current) that Palpatine liked to keep his force powers secret and allowed only small group of people besides of Vader and Royal Guards to know about them. In one what if story were he survived destruction of Death Star II he went down to Forest Moon of Endor to kill everyone personally. After that he killed his own troops that saw him use his force powers.
I’d also hoped they would include a rebel era card for Yoda, perhaps taking more of an advisor role… but alas.
You could also just use him in your army regardless with friends. I don’t think they’d mind.
True enough. You could use the rebel commander rules but wouldn’t really give you the feel of having Yoda commanding your force. But then again, he didn’t go in for much of that in his 900’s!
With Stargrave on the way I’m now window shopping these. At the very least I can shoehorn Yoda in there somehow. Also the robots and Space Van.
put wings on it and you have Lonestar’s space truck
The SW:L rules are such a bloated mess right now I am thinking of just using the figures I have with the Stargrave rules.
Fans of the Clone Wars era will be happy. Yeah – speak for yourselves. 😀
A Yoda for dummies – wielding a lightsabre and spinning and jumping. Yawn. Still no Clone Wars Ahsoka. I feel vindicated for calling the product managers clowns.
CLOWNS!
Anyone else seeing Lonestar and Barfs ride from Spaceballs in that rebel transport…
yes, pretty much since day 1 when I saw the first pictures XD Thinking about converting that thing with magnets just for a fun look. The wings shouldn’t be to hard to make… I think… (famous last words)
Was definitely my first thought!!
That’s confirmed it, I’m getting one!
Space Balls… fun movie. I’d forgot about the van. Where do we get a Joan River bot? And I need detachable headphones for Princess Leia 🙂
Time to find the whole crew!!
I’m pretty sure somewhere someone did the 3D files for them 😉 Including Lord Helmet.
Size matters not. Those look great. It’s good to see some vehicles as well.
Was it all only for Clone Wars?
yup
Aren’t the vehicles for the Galactic Civil War era?
technically they’re both, but I think that’s only because someone probably pointed out that they were going to have a years worth of releases that would include nothing for original players. The wookies also have duel cards
Nope, the A-A5 Speeder Truck is Rebels only. The LAAT/le is for both.
Although I don’t play legion (I bought into Imperial Assault and decided I had enough Star Wars minis), I do like the A-A5 Speeder Truck. Great for SF skirmish games and would look awesome on a Stargrave table.
Ooh fantastic opportunity for Ben to add to his wookiee army fab new figures to game with.
Yoda 🙂 Not for use in Rebel army 🙁
The floating camper van is meh, but the LAAT looks great.
These are all very awesome.
They really all have that classic Star Wars vibe thats not super “busy” yet still detailed enough to be interesting.
Great sculpts!
