Star Wars: Legion – Aqua Droids Rules Preview

Did you think the water would mess with the Droid army’s electronics? Guess you haven’t encountered the Aqua Droids before.

They might not have JAWS but these Aqua Droids mean the beach will not be safe from the Separatist Army. The new ground vehicles are ready to unleash devastation to their pre-programmed targets.

“The Haor Chall Engineering Corporation was responsible for creating many fearsome weapons of war during the Clone Wars. From the IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank to the C-9979 Landing Craft, their designs were a common sight in the Confederacy of Independent Systems’ fight against the Galactic Republic. Conflict on a galaxy-spanning scale required numerous specialty patterns and Haor Chall responded with the creation of the AQ-series battle droid. Used to attack aquatic planets, these bulky constructs were fitted with propellers to help them expertly navigate the depths of any seascape. Prepare to repel boarders as we take a closer look at aqua droids for Star Wars™: Legion!”

The Aqua Droids

A team of Aqua Droids is considered a Heavy unit consisting of three miniatures. Really, when you use them, they function similar to walking tank than to your standard “vehicle” on the tabletop. They aren’t going anywhere without some sustained attacks on them either. That Armor of 2 and 3 health is going to ensure that! They also come with the Infiltrate keyword, too. You didn’t expect the droids to attack from the water, did ya!?

AI: Attack, Move are also important for this unit. That means they can continue to press the attack without having been issued an order token. These Aqua Droids are programmed for destruction!

If you would like to increase the unit size you can also add a Heavy Aqua Droid to the squad for another 28 points. This upgrade brings the Heavy Blaster to the fore with Impact 2 and 2 red dice and 1 white die. The damage will be felt by your opponent!

This cool looking unit is on the way. It’s currently up for pre-orders and will be available on January 17, 2024.
