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.

This expansion for Star Wars: Legion contains four unpainted and finely sculpted soft plastic Stormtrooper miniatures different from those found in the Star Wars: Legion Core Set and the Stormtroopers Unit Expansion, inviting you to enhance your existing Stormtrooper units or to form a corps unit of their own. Alongside these new miniatures, you’ll also find new heavy weapon and personnel upgrade options to outfit your Stormtroopers for any situation.

For this expansion, the Empire is getting access to 4 extra Heavy weapons, including the two new options:
