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. Some of us just have to learn the hard way. But those of us who have traveled the path before, learning by trial-and-error, will gladly share our experience if it will keep a fellow nerd from falling flat on his face. I’ve touched the hot stove so we won’t have 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 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.” Muster your units of Stormtroopers and prepare to march into battle! The power of the Galactic Empire will spread across the galaxy and the Imperial banner will fly above every planet. Look for the Stormtroopers Unit Expansion to release alongside the Star Wars: Legion Core Set and seven other expansions! Almost all tabletop games use a sliding scale to scale down larger objects. This is because if a large vehicle was at the exact same scale as a miniature, the battlefield itself would become overcrowded. It would be hard to fit all models onto the battlefield and the miniatures would have less space to move in. 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. I both highly recommend the game Imperial Assault ( you can learn more here) and also painting miniatures that are included. It’s like nerd meditation for this long time Star Wars fan.

Stormtroopers are foot soldiers for the Galactic Empire, which is led by Emperor Palpatine and his commanders, mainly Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. These soldiers are known to use brute force to achieve the Emperor's wishes. All stormtroopers have a strong, plastic-like armour that protects them from projectile weapons as well as dangerous environmental conditions. They also carry thermal detonators that can be set to explode between 6-18 seconds and also cannot be used against them. On top of this, they also have a grappling hook, an E-11 blaster rifle and a powerful DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. They accompany the Imperial Navy and are deployed very fast in response to any civil unrest.Outfit your Stormtroopers with new heavy weapons for even more tactical flexibility. Add a T-21 Stormtrooper to make critical strikes or an RT-97C Stormtrooper for powerful shots from long range. A ubiquitous sight across the galaxy, white-armoured stormtroopers strike fear into the hearts of all those who would oppose the Empire. Though their uniform armour and rigid tactics emphasise the crushing weight of Imperial might, Stormtroopers can be surprisingly flexible units that serve a multitude of roles in Imperial strike forces. This expansion for Star Wars: Legion contains four unpainted and finely sculpted soft plastic Stormtrooper miniatures different from those found in the Star Wars: Legion Core Set and the Stormtroopers Unit Expansion, inviting you to enhance your existing Stormtrooper units or to form a corps unit of their own. Alongside these new miniatures, you’ll also find new heavy weapon and personnel upgrade options to outfit your Stormtroopers for any situation.
