It’s time to take a closer look at the baddies of Star Wars: Legion. The Galactic Empire has a new starter set and we’re diving right inside!
So I already did a pricing breakdown of this fantastic deal for Star Wars: Legion. Now I’m excited to dive into the actual contents and see them up close.
If you’ve been wanting to play with Vader and the Stormtroopers, this is the Starter Set for you! So let’s get inside and see what this one has in store for us.
Galactic Empire Starter Set Unboxed
There’s a TON of stuff in here. And this picture doesn’t even have all the cards in it. But the point is that this is a full on 600-Point Recon-Level army ready to be played. Ya know, once you build it…
How is it a Recon-Level army? Good news: AMG has you covered with how to set that up.
The flyer on the right comes in multiple languages, too. It walks you through how to setup the contents in this box to be used as a 600-Point Force. And yes, it’s all in there!
You’ll also get the unit cards and everything else you’ll need to play. They also come in the four supported languages. I didn’t go over each card because you can find them online from AMG if you really want to check those fine details out.
SO MANY TOKENS. And yes, because this is a Starter Set, included are all the tokens you’ll need to play. That’s just another reason this is perfect for brand new players. Speaking of brand new players…
You’ll also get the dice you need, although you might want more of them at some point.
You’ll also get the range and movement tools to actually play the game with as well. Those are certainly nice to have. Now, we get to the miniatures!

All in, you get 37 miniatures. Those include 22 Stormtroopers (two units of 11), 14 Scout Troopers (two units of 7), and they are all led by Darth Vader himself. This one comes with a different sculpt than what was available before as well.
He looks plenty imposing once he’s assembled and painted.
Overall, yes, this is a great deal and a fantastic starting point for anyone looking to get into Star Wars: Legion. As mentioned, it is a fully playable 600-Point army in a box. And there’s plenty of room to grow from here. The Star Wars: Legion range has been growing and getting a ton of great kits. AMG has been updating and re-releasing older kits into the new hard plastics and they are just better than the old ones.
I would not be surprised to see more new faces picking up Star Wars: Legion because of these starter boxes. If you’re a FLGS store manager or owner you really might want to see about starting a Star Wars: Legion league. Just tossing that out there…
The Galactic Empire Starter Set is currently available right now from Asmodee. If it’s not in store shelves it’s on the way!
