About the game
Inscrutable behind their blood-red masks, the Imperial Royal Guard will face down anyone who dares threaten the Emperor. While little is known about these enigmatic warriors, one thing is certain: their sole directive is to protect the leader of the Galactic Empire, with their lives if necessary. The Imperial Royal Guards Unit Expansion contains everything you need to add a unit of Emperor Palpatine's personal bodyguards to your army. The squad of four unpainted, easily assembled miniatures stands ready to protect the Emperor or do his bidding on any planet across the galaxy. Meanwhile, the Royal Guards are also accompanied by five distinct upgrade cards that invite you to outfit them with even more tools for protecting the Emperor. —description from the publisher
