Star Wars Legion: Imperial Specialists

Not every reinforcement arrives as a new squad. Imperial Specialists are four individual operatives who attach to units you already own, which makes this one of the few boxes that improves an entire army rather than adding one more line to the list.

That is a genuinely different sort of purchase. A unit expansion changes what your army contains. Personnel like these change how the units already in it perform, filling the slots most players leave empty simply because they never bought anything to put there. If your Imperial force keeps losing the same way week after week, the fix is often here rather than in another seven troopers.

Four upgrade cards and three command cards come alongside the miniatures, so the box widens your command options at the same time.

Slots into:

• Any Galactic Empire army with empty personnel slots, which is most of them
• Lists built on Stormtroopers, Imperial Shoretroopers or Scout Troopers
• Collections already running the Empire Card Pack and current rules

Four miniatures, four bases, four upgrade cards, three command cards and an insert. Four models is a small evening of painting with an outsized effect on the table. Aimed squarely at a player who has been running the same Imperial list for a while and wants more out of it, rather than at someone still assembling a first army.
