Star Wars Legion: Refurbished Gonk Droid

 

Carrying on from my last droid the next completed model for Star Wars Legion is a refurbished Gonk droid.


This little beauty is an upgrade card for the Rebels and Shadow Alliance Speeder truck or the rebel only landspeeder. This gives 2 shield tokens to the model giving extra durability and with the added bonus in the end phase of recharging any spent shields. 18 points is a doozy of an upgrade.

Star Wars Legion Black Sun Enforcers

 Star Wars Legion Black Sun Enforcers



The Black Sun Enforcers are the foot soldiers and troop choice for the Shadow Alliance and Empire. At 48 points for the base unit they are expensive and premium troop choice. With a max range of 2 they need to use cover very well to ensure that they do not get focused on my the opposing army or make use of the A-A5 to get them closer to the enemy lines. The high points a costly but you do get Red defence and Close Quarters dice, so yes they are more expensive than the Pykes but should be more durable. 

    The models are big and at first I thought that Atomic Mass where guilty of scale creep but from going back and reading up on them and watching them in the animated series they are big, so hats off to AMG to staying true to the source material. The unit has 2 nice upgrades to choose from; Scatter gun If you opponent is infantry focused or the Mag-Det enforcer if they like to take vehicles. You can also add in another enforcer which gives you a cached dodge token.



My first completed unit is below and drew from Sorastros painting guide, which if you have not checked out are well worth while a watch.



Def need to invest in a cheap light box and get some better pictures taken. Up next will be the Pykes as I have at least my  2 troop choices complete. From reading over Christmas I will either need more Black Sun or Pykes, just need to get some more games in to firm up that choice.


Oh and Happy New Year,

Star Wars Legion Bossk Complete

 

So next up on the painting table is Bossk first featured on the bridge of the Star Destroyer in Empire Strikes Back and then more fame in Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon series. 

The base needs a bit of tidying up, the yellow is far brighter in the photos than it shows in real life. I think the green is maybe to green and needs to be more camo green colour. But happy another model complete. Next up on the painting table is Gar Saxon to lead my Shadow Alliance Force.
