Fantasy Flight Games preview the BX-series Droid Commandos Unit Expansion for Star Wars: Legion.
Baktoid Combat Automata produces a dizzying array of battle droids for the Separatist Droid Army, all designed with one purpose in mind: crush any who would stand between the Separatists and domination of the Star Wars™ galaxy. While most of these models simply replenish the ranks with a seemingly never-ending supply of droids, others—like BX-series Droid Commandos—fill an altogether different role.
Featuring advanced AI not seen in their battle droid cousins, these droids can stand toe-to-toe with the Galactic Republic’s best, even battle-hardened ARC Troopers. Soon, you can make use of your own deadly droids with the BX-series Droid Commandos Unit Expansion for Star Wars™: Legion!
This expansion gives you access to seven highly customizable BX-series Droid Commando miniatures that can be deployed as two distinct units. No matter if you make use of a full unit or a two-droid strike team, your miniatures can be assembled with an array of weapons and gear, including E-5 blaster rifles, vibroswords, and deflector shields. Finally, a BX-series Droid Commando carrying a sniper rifle provides a lethal long-range option while a saboteur spreading poisonous dioxis mines sows chaos across the battlefield.
In addition to deciding how your BX-series Droid Commandos look on the battlefield, you also have to power to customize how they operate. This expansion also contains eight upgrade cards that give you access to additional weapons, training, and more.
Superior Programming
BX-series Droid Commandos are a different breed of droid trooper. Manufactured with the ability to operate independently and employ a wide array of tactics, they display a versatility not seen in other droid units. Rather than work wholly on their own, however, droid commandos offer the perfect complement to existing Separatist strategies.
Unlike the often clumsy B1 and B2 battle droids, BX-series Droid Commandos are extremely agile, easily scaling any obstacles that may be present on the battlefield. Add this to their ability to scout ahead with a speed-3 move when they are deployed and these droids can easily take on a variety of roles in your army while the enemy is focused on larger groups of droids laying down heavy fire.
Read more here, and pre-order the BX-series Droid Commandos Unit Expansion (SWL72) being released alongside the ARC Troopers Unit Expansion (SWL70) on August 28th from your local game store or direct from the Fantasy Flight Games website — happy gaming!
