Star Wars Legion: Mandalorian Warriors

Impervious is the keyword that decides where these fit. Pierce, the tool most armies lean on to crack armor, stops working against them, so a Mandalorian line ignores the exact upgrades your opponent packed to handle elite infantry.

Both cards in the box are Mercenary, so they slot into Empire, Rebel, Separatist or Galactic Republic lists alongside a Mandalorian leader. The Corps version holds ground and hits back with Duelist in melee. The Support version runs as a detachment with Heavy Weapon Team and Sharpshooter 1, trading the squad leader for reach and a Galaar-15 carbine out to range 3. Jump 2 on both cards means vertical terrain is a road rather than a wall: rooftops, gantries and ridgelines open up, and a table with real elevation is where they earn their keep.

Red defense dice and a Clan upgrade slot reward committing to them rather than trickling them in. Run the detachment behind the Corps squad so the heavy weapon has a screen in front of it.

What is in the box:

• 11 Mandalorian miniatures, each with a base
• 4 unit cards covering both battlefield roles
• 5 upgrade cards
• 1 insert

Not for you if you want cheap bodies to smother objectives. These are built and costed as elite infantry, and a flat table with no verticality wastes half of what makes them good.
