Star Wars Legion: IG-Series Assassin Droids

Loyalty is not on offer here. IG-11 and IG-88 work for whoever is paying, which is why this pair can be hired into Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance armies without anyone at the table raising an eyebrow.

Both are Operatives, and they exist to solve one specific problem: the enemy piece your army otherwise cannot reach. A commander sitting behind a screen of troopers, a support weapon on a rooftop, an objective held by something small and inconvenient. Between them the two droids offer different approaches, one better at working through several targets and one better at hunting a single mark, so which you field should follow what your opponent has brought.

Treat them as precision instruments. Sent in at the right moment they decide a game outright. Sent in early and alone against an intact army, they die for nothing. Five command cards give you meaningful control over that timing.

Good in:

• An Imperial list built on Stormtroopers that has no answer to enemy characters
• A Rebel force beside Rebel Commandos for an army of specialists
• A mercenary themed collection with Galactic Bounty Hunters and the Mercenary Card Pack

Two miniatures and bases, two unit cards, five command cards, two upgrade cards, two token sheets and an insert. The tall, spindly sculpts are a striking painting subject and stand out on any display shelf.
