Not thrilled by the storm troopers.

Preorder cancelled. Thank you for allowing me to see the error of my ways.

Gotta say, I sort of get the point.  A few of them look a bit stiff and unrealistic, in terms of how people move.  Snowtroopers look nice.

What, to 'silence' me for an opinion that these miniatures could be much better?

I find it ironic they have licenses to make 40k games, yet don't take any inspiration for their miniature sets.

Agreed. 

I just hate their officer.. Standing around and pointing.. the lack of creativity there is really disappointing.

They're just placing game mechanics and ease of recognizing the leader over having it thematically accurate.

If we don't care for thematic accuracy why make miniatures in the first place? 

I get the understanding that a leader/figure of authority has to issue a hand signal but there are a variety of ways to achieve this.. you could take any Snow trooper, and use his left hand to issue a hand signal and every single person playing will know he is the leader of that unit. Instead we need to 'insert generic officer from the first world war' complete with officer pistol ordering a unit forward.... and this is for 2018... this is when star-wars is trying to modernise it's mechanics with Storm Troopers of the First Order wearing webbing/load carrying equipment for the first time, and in Rouge One adopting more professional firing stances, and movement.. 

I'm really finding FFG's decisions more and more at odds the further we go.

Interesting that my 'not thrilled' topic on Rebels was allowed to carry on with all the hatred I received until users started to agree with me.

Yeah, stormtroopers are in squads of 10, not 7. 

FFG should of learned from GW before being arrogant enough to lean so heavily on the brand for this to be a success

The miniatures could be much better.

Women shouldn't be in SF or combat infantry

Thank you FFG for giving me a response, and that response to silence me, not even PM me with a warning or any acknowledgement goes to show what we're dealing with here. GG LEGION, i'll read about you either fading away or being released in a second edition with all the bits and pieces an actual miniatures war-game should have. 

EDIT: You can let this thread die now, I got what I wanted from FFG, it wasn't the ideal response, but I got one. Thank you to all the sane individuals that see where I am coming from and remember to communicate how you feel with your wallets, SW deserves better and has deserved better for decades while every other sci-fi setting got the miniatures treatment we get dished this, and for 2018 it just doesn't cut it.

I know where you are coming from, but I don't get how someone can be mad at this point in time. THERE IS A STAR WARS MINIATURE WAR GAME THAT IS GOING TO BE IN STORES SOON. Anyways, I get why you are mad but I think that there are bigger things to worry about than the way that tiny stormtrooper toys are positioned.

P.S. Why are you so mad about woman being infantry, I just don't get it; I don't necessarily think that you are sexist, but there are a lot of badass woman out there.

Bye 1.  I'm glad to see that you are leaving with ****** up views on women.  You disgust me.

You said you want more diverse poses, all the stormtrooper poses in IA are the same...  I'm seeing some double standards here...

I want to play a miniatures games with miniatures that I actually like, not a hard concept.

Badass looking women holding a rifle doesn't result in women passing through boot at the same standards and level of performance as males.

Imperial Assault is a strategy board game - FFG website.

I want more diverse poses in a miniature war-game.

At this point I really think 1 is a Russian bot sent to create division within the Star Wars community. Lol.

[Rumar 244]

The OP made a case that the Legion minis could be better, and what is more, how so. That deserves nothing but praise. Unfortunately he has started a different theatre of war with his statements about women in the military and "realism". (Star Wars and realism. Come off it). Predictably this has spooked FFG into purging the parallel thread about the rebel minis - why should FFG risk becoming collateral damage in a real life political war.

I have yet to see arguments, why the ameliorations the OP proposed would fail to make Legion better.
