But as an object or vehicle gets larger we start to reduce the scale percentage. For example, an AT-ST figure could be at around 80-85% scale. This means that it is 85% true scale when compared to a miniature. The 35mm reference is due to the miniatures eye height, which is 35.7mm from the ground. Fun fact! What scale are the official Star Wars Legion model kits?

Muster your units of Stormtroopers and prepare to march into battle! The power of the Galactic Empire will spread across the galaxy and the Imperial banner will fly above every planet. Look for the Stormtroopers Unit Expansion to release alongside the Star Wars: Legion Core Set and seven other expansions! I both highly recommend the game Imperial Assault ( you can learn more here) and also painting miniatures that are included. It’s like nerd meditation for this long time Star Wars fan. Add new personnel to your Stormtrooper units! A Stormtrooper Captain miniature is ready to lead your troops into battle while a Stormtrooper Specialist supports helps improve the unit’s aim and gear. So while the exact math points to Star Wars Legion miniatures being around 1:47 scale, official kits point to 1:48 scale. Both Bandai and Revell sell Star Wars model kits which are at 1:48 scale. They both also sell model kits at 1:52 and 1:53 scale which will also work well with Star Wars Legion. The sliding scaleWhen standing a miniature next to an 80% scale AT-ST, the miniature will appear ever so slightly larger than they would if everything was true 100% scale. But with a sliding scale, we try to ensure that the objects, terrain and vehicles that are scaled remain within a realistic scale. Stormtroopers Star Wars: Legion Core Set, but as a corps unit, you can include up to six units of Stormtroopers in your army. Their low cost of 44 points for a single squad also makes them one of your go-to options for filling out your army’s rank and file. Almost all tabletop games use a sliding scale to scale down larger objects. This is because if a large vehicle was at the exact same scale as a miniature, the battlefield itself would become overcrowded. It would be hard to fit all models onto the battlefield and the miniatures would have less space to move in. Ultimately, no matter how you choose to equip your Stormtroopers, these squads fill out your Imperial armies, supporting mighty units like Darth Vader or an AT-ST as they stomp into battle. This expansion for Star Wars: Legion contains four unpainted and finely sculpted soft plastic Stormtrooper miniatures to enhance your existing Stormtrooper units or to form one corps unit, along with new heavy weapon and personnel upgrade options.

A ubiquitous sight across the galaxy, white-armoured stormtroopers strike fear into the hearts of all those who would oppose the Empire. Though their uniform armour and rigid tactics emphasise the crushing weight of Imperial might, Stormtroopers can be surprisingly flexible units that serve a multitude of roles in Imperial strike forces. The final upgrades in the Stormtrooper Unit Expansion—for grenades and gear—mark a departure from the upgrade cards included in the Core Set. Within the Core Set, you have access to Within this expansion, you’ll find four unpainted, uniquely sculpted soft plastic Imperial Stormtrooper miniatures to enhance your existing Stormtrooper units. Joining a Stormtrooper Captain are a Stormtrooper Specialist as well as a T-21 Stormtrooper and an RT-97C Stormtrooper that can both be constructed with their heavy weapons or the standard E-11 blaster rifle. These miniatures are accompanied by seven upgrade cards that allow you to incorporate them into your existing Stormtrooper units as well as a unit card inviting you to create a completely new unit. The reference to Star Wars Legion being 35mm scale is not due to the height of the miniatures. The miniatures themselves are actually 40mm. So if a miniature or a small vehicle like a speeder bike is 100% scale, and a medium-sized vehicle such as an AT-ST is around 85% scale. Then using the sliding scale an even larger object such as a large AT-AT could be reduced down to around 70% scale.There is of course the issue of the Stormtrooper armour. Up until now, we have been working on the height of a Stormtrooper without armour. That is because the eye height of a 75th percentile man is also taken without any shoes on. Stormtroopers are foot soldiers for the Galactic Empire, which is led by Emperor Palpatine and his commanders, mainly Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. These soldiers are known to use brute force to achieve the Emperor's wishes. All stormtroopers have a strong, plastic-like armour that protects them from projectile weapons as well as dangerous environmental conditions. They also carry thermal detonators that can be set to explode between 6-18 seconds and also cannot be used against them. On top of this, they also have a grappling hook, an E-11 blaster rifle and a powerful DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. They accompany the Imperial Navy and are deployed very fast in response to any civil unrest. He worked out that the average height of a Stormtrooper is 5’11”. This means that a Stormtrooper falls into the category of a 75th percentile male. What scale are Star Wars Legion miniatures?

Alternatively, you may decide to bring in some specialists with armaments that make them much more dangerous than a standard Stormtrooper. Stormtrooper units have a single heavy weapon upgrade slot, and the same two heavy weapon miniatures are offered in the Stormtroopers Unit Expansion and the Core Set—the Mistakes are simply an opportunity to paint battle damage! I simply pretend the Rebellion hit him with a blaster shot, and paint the mistake area to reflect that. So with a little maths, we can divide the actual eye height of a Stormtrooper (1678mm) by the eye height of the mini (35.7mm) and this will give us the rough scale of the minis themselves.A ubiquitous sight across the galaxy, white-armored stormtroopers strike fear into the hearts of all those who would oppose the Empire. Though their uniform armor and rigid tactics emphasize the crushing weight of Imperial might, Stormtroopers can be surprisingly flexible units that serve a multitude of roles in Imperial strike forces. We certainly wouldn’t shrink an AT-ST to 50% scale as it would look unbelievably small and affect both immersion and gameplay.
