Being that Fantasy Flight Games (the company behind Star Wars Legion) won’t tell us the exact scale that they work to. It is very much up to us as fans of Star Wars Legion to work out the correct scale to print our miniatures, landscape and props. 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. 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.

A DLT-19 Stormtrooper from the Star Wars: Legion Core Set or the Stormtroopers Unit Expansion, for example, can blast enemies—even those with armour—from beyond the range of a standard E-11 blaster rifle. Similarly, an RT-97C Stormtrooper found in the Imperial Stormtroopers Upgrade Expansion can maintain these long range shots while also producing a higher rate of fire. So the sliding scale steps in to help out with this issue. It works by squeezing the scale of objects the larger they are. For example, small objects and vehicles that are either nearby miniatures or used by them will stay at the correct scale of 1:48. This makes them 100% scale as it is true to scale compared to the minis. We also know the scale height of the Stormtrooper is 1 17/32″ or 38.89mm. In 1/47 scale there are 6.48mm in a foot. 38.89 / 6.48 ~= 6, so a stormtrooper in armour is 6′ tall. Honestly, this seems a bit too short… if you bump it up to 1/48 a Stormtrooper is 6′ 1 1/2 inches…. but I couldn’t find exact measurements on stormtrooper height IN armour.” The white-armored stormtrooper is a common sight on occupied worlds throughout the galaxy, so it only follows that it would also be a common sight on the battlefields of Star Wars: Legion. Two units of

Striking Fear

Trim the plastic. When plastic miniatures are molded there will occasionally be tiny slivers of plastic residue or a little extra plastic which builds up around the mold line. This extra plastic needs to be trimmed off because it distracts from the detail of the miniature. 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 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. 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.

We certainly wouldn’t shrink an AT-ST to 50% scale as it would look unbelievably small and affect both immersion and gameplay. 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. 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—theSo 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.
