The Star Wars Legion: Clone Wars Core Set is Available Now
War has engulfed the galaxy. The vast forces of the Separatist Alliance, bolstered by seemingly endless ranks of battle droids, have pushed the Galactic Republic to the brink of dissolution and defeat. The Republic’s only hope is its army of elite clone troopers, led into battle by noble, Force-wielding Jedi Knights. The war between them is an epic struggle where every battle could turn the tide and change the fate of the galaxy. You can immerse yourself in this epic conflict, assembling your forces and leading them against your opponents in the legendary ground battles of Star Wars™ with the Clone Wars Core Set for Star Wars™: Legion!
This Core Set invites you to enter a completely new era of infantry battles in the Star Wars galaxy, pitting the overwhelming Separatist droid forces against the Republic’s crack armies of clone troopers and Jedi Knights. As you do, you’ll assemble a force of the Clone Wars’ most iconic heroes, villains, troopers, and vehicles, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous. In addition to introducing the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance to the game, this Core Set contains all the cards, tools and tokens you need to begin staging your own Star Wars battles right away, making this the perfect starting point to begin building your Star Wars: Legion collection!

The first troops to take the field in the Clone Wars, Phase I Clone Troopers represent a new era of galactic warfare. Genetically crafted for battle and outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, Clone Troopers charge into battle on countless worlds to do the job they were made for: defeat the Separatist Alliance and restore order to the galaxy.
The Phase I Clone Troopers Unit Expansion contains a full unit of seven unique, unpainted Phase I Clone miniatures, identical to the Phase I Clone Troopers included in the Star Wars: Legion Clone Wars Core Set. Five Phase I Clone Troopers wielding DC-15A Blaster Rifles are joined by a Z-6 Phase I Trooper and a DC-15 Phase I Trooper.

B1 Battle Droids Unit Expansion
The Republic’s Clone Troopers may be bred for battle, but even the finest soldiers eventually break under the crushing weight of legions of B1 Battle Droids. Despite possessing little cunning or tactical intelligence, these droids march heedlessly forward to crush any resistance through raw attrition alone. Mindlessly loyal and eminently expendable, the Separatist Alliance has few qualms about sacrificing endless waves of B1 Battle Droids to subdue a planet.
The B1 Battle Droids Unit Expansion gives you the chance to supplement your Separatist Alliance forces with even more battle droids. Nine unpainted and finely-sculpted B1 Battle Droid miniatures identical to those found in the Star Wars: Legion Clone Wars Core Set stand ready to form the backbone of your army, including two miniatures carrying heavy weapons. Joining these miniatures are a unit card and a variety of upgrade cards inviting you to make your own personal refinements to your battle droids.

Upgrade Card Pack
Selecting the troops that you’ll lead into battle is only the first step in creating your own Star Wars: Legion army. Once you’ve supplemented your armies with fresh recruits, you can further enhance them with the addition of upgrade cards. Each upgrade unlocks new tactical possibilities for your army, giving you the freedom to customize your units to meet your individual preferences.
While every Unit Expansion contains a variety of upgrade cards that help enhance that particular unit’s natural abilities, the Upgrade Card Pack conveniently puts a vast library of upgrade cards at your fingertips no matter which faction you play. Bringing together sixty neutral upgrade cards originally found in expansions through the Clone Wars Core Set, this pack gives you access to a wide range of upgrades that invite you to fine-tune your units as you see fit and build the Star Wars army that best fits your strategy.

Clone Wars Core Set Release Date Again Pushed Back
Sources are telling us that the Clone Wars Core Set has been pushed back from its recently announced release date of Oct 4th.
The Oct 4th date was already a delayed date as the Clone Wars Core Set was previously expected to release Mid to Late September. There are many rumors to the reason for these delays but none have been confirmed.
The online gaming store Miniature Market preemptively shipped some Core Sets to customers who preordered.
The Dewback, that were supposed to release with the Shoretrooper expansion but due to a packaging error were also delayed, has yet to receive a confirmed release date.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
Clone Wars Core Set and Expansions Release Date Has Been Announced
The Fantasy Flight Games’ Community Coordinator, Matt Holland, announced in a Facebook post on the Star Wars Legion fan page that the long awaited (and slightly delayed) Clone Wars Core Set, along with two of its expansions, will be released October 5th.
Also in the posted he announced that the Upgrade Card Pack will also release on that date.
This is great news as it was recently announced that the Core Set, which originally had a street date of Q3, was being delayed to early Q4. October 4th is only two weeks after the speculated date of September 20th and only 4 days into Q4.
