Five Separatist leaders are the Legion command carton four days out.

Four days. Star Wars: Legion Leaders of the Separatist Alliance streets September 11, 2026, for about $62.99 in the Asmodee USA listing, with UK RRP around £54.99 depending on the shop. Atomic Mass Games is putting five leaders in one carton: Count Dooku, Admiral Trench, General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, and Savage Opress. Three commanders. Two operatives. Unit cards, command cards, upgrade cards, bases, punch sheet. That is the Separatist command carton four days out. I am filing the miniatures desk on the command shelf, not on another Clone Wars lore essay.

Legion players already know why a five pack of villains matters. Army construction is a diet. Diets fail when the only spicy models are expensive singles scattered across a year. A command carton that drops Dooku, Grievous, Trench, Ventress, and Savage together is a Separatist identity refresh you can put on a credit card once. Once is how hobby budgets survive September.

Asmodee's product copy is delightfully blunt. From shadowed halls to open warzones, the Separatist cause is driven by power, strategy, and fear. Dooku, Trench, and Grievous lead. Ventress and Savage destroy lines. Marketing departments usually bury that kind of sentence under lore fog. Here the fog is short. The SKU is long on names you can pronounce in a game store without opening Wookieepedia.

Five leaders are the Separatist command carton four days out.

Contents, as published: five miniatures, five bases, six unit cards, one upgrade card, ten command cards, one punch sheet. Enough to field three commanders and two operatives. That split matters for list builders who want a warlord and a knife in the same shopping bag. Knives without warlords are operatives looking for a story. Warlords without knives are speeches. Separatists always wanted both.

I am not inventing points costs or tournament legality beyond what shops are selling as a September 11 release. I am not inventing paint schemes. Unpainted plastic is still the deal. Preparation and assembly required, as every miniature carton loves to remind you. Reminding is fine. Pretending the models arrive battle ready is how beginners cry into primer.

Why this carton now? Because Separatist shelves need faces. Battle droids are the army. Faces are the reason people photograph the army. Dooku is the aristocratic threat. Grievous is the nightmare silhouette. Trench is the admiral energy the faction sometimes lacked on the table. Ventress is the duelist people quote. Savage is the wrecking ball. Five faces, one street date. Street dates are how factions feel alive between big boxed refreshes.

Price talk stays anchored to published tags. $62.99 at Asmodee USA. UK shops advertising under the £54.99 RRP with discounts in the wild. Australian preorder pages show their own AUD math. Regional pricing is a fog bank. Fog banks are why you check the shop you actually use instead of quoting a Discord screenshot from March.

October plastic already has a shipping window in Assassin's Creed Animus warehouse date.

There is a collector angle and a player angle. Collectors want the five sculpts because Separatist display shelves look lonely without the famous knives. Players want the cards because Legion is a card game wearing miniature cosplay. Cosplay without cards is a statue habit. Cards without sculpts you love is spreadsheet night. This carton tries to sell both in one AMGSWQ49 code.

Command cartons are how a faction gets a face again.

I care about Trench as much as the celebrity Sith adjacent toys. Admirals change how a table talks about objectives. Lightsaber villains change how a table talks about duels. A healthy Separatist force needs both sentences. Both sentences in one box is efficient hobbyism. Efficient hobbyism is sexy in a year when every game wants a second mortgage.

Painting note, filed as opinion. Grievous will eat evenings. Multi limb nightmares always do. Ventress will look incredible with careful edge highlights and punish you if you rush the blades. Dooku's cloak is a fold puzzle. Savage is a muscle study. Trench is the gift for people who like non human faces. Gift yourself time. Time is the real MSRP.

Secondary market weirdness will start the day after street if allocation is tight. Allocation is always tight for Star Wars minis that look like trailer screenshots. Preorder if your FLGS still has a ticket. Walk in on the 11th if you enjoy gambling. Gambling is a lifestyle. I am too old for lifestyle. I am preordering the command carton like an adult.

Rules chatter will explode when cards are fully public in hand. Chatter is weather. Weather is not a Monday grade. Monday is the till date and the five name roster. If you need a competitive primer, wait for the people who play weekly to burn the first fifty games. Fifty games is how Legion truths appear. Unboxing reels are how plastic truths appear. Both matter. Only one belongs in a four days out filing.

Separatist Alliance and Shadow Collective tags show up on some shop pages for this SKU. Tags are aisle stickers for search engines. The emotional aisle is still Clone Wars villainy you can push across a 3 by 3. Emotional aisles are why miniature games outlive better designed abstracts. Abstracts do not give you Ventress. Ventress is the point.

Monday wire. September 11, Atomic Mass Games and Asmodee street Leaders of the Separatist Alliance at about sixty three dollars American, five miniatures deep: Dooku, Trench, Grievous, Ventress, Savage. Three commanders, two operatives, cards included. The Separatist command carton is four days out. Buy it if your droid army needs a face. Skip it if you are still painting last year's clones and being honest about hobby debt. Honesty is a list building skill. So is fear. Fear is the Separatist brand wearing a street date.

I will be looking at first paint logs the way other desks look at patch notes. Paint logs tell you whether the sculpts sing. Singing sculpts sell the next carton. The next carton is how Legion stays a living war instead of a closet of forgotten droids. Living wars need leaders. Leaders arrive Friday. Set a reminder. Clear a primer bottle. The CIS is about to get louder on the shelf.

Coffee-table war math still holds from Kill Team turned the coffee table into a killzone.

One more selfish want. I want Trench to feel like a commander who changes deployment conversation, not a novelty bug. Novelty bugs become eBay leftovers. Deployment conversation pieces become staples. Staples are how $62.99 stops feeling like a tax and starts feeling like an investment in the faction's voice. Voice is the whole point of a leaders carton. Speak clearly, AMG. The aisle is listening.

List culture will do what list culture does. Someone will declare one of the five dead on arrival before the plastic is dry. Ignore day one obituaries. Day one obituaries are content. Content is not a battle report. Battle reports need games. Games need the carton to exist in hand. Hand arrives Friday for people who preordered like adults.

I keep thinking about how Separatist armies photograph. Blue white clones are easy Instagram. Separatists need drama in the command stand or the feed looks like a toy aisle accident. Drama is Dooku's posture and Grievous's silhouette and Ventress mid strike. This carton is drama in a rectangular box. Rectangular drama is how miniature games recruit painters who do not care about objective tokens yet. Recruit the painters. The objective tokens can wait.

If you already own older sculpts of some of these characters from earlier Legion eras, do the boring inventory before you double buy. Boring inventory saves money. Money buys the next terrain pack. Terrain packs win more games than duplicate Dookus. Duplicate Dookus win display shelves. Know which victory you want.

Four days. Five leaders. One Separatist command carton. File it, preorder it, or honestly admit your paint queue is a war crime and wait. Waiting is allowed. Lying to yourself about weekend painting time is how closets fill with gray plastic guilt. Guilt is not the CIS brand. Fear is. Fear Friday. Fear with a receipt.

Atomic Mass Games has spent years teaching players that Star Wars miniatures are a lifestyle with a points budget. Lifestyle products fail when the villain shelf is incomplete. Incomplete shelves make people proxy with cardboard standees and then quietly drift to other games. A five leader carton is anti drift medicine. Medicine tastes like $62.99. Medicine works when the sculpts and cards both justify the receipt.

I also want a boring logistics reminder. Check your FLGS allocation. Big box stores may show the SKU late. Online warehouses will claim street dates and then slip by a week. Slip is normal. Rage tweeting about slip is optional and usually useless. Useful is a text to the shop that already took your money.

Four days is nothing in hobby time and everything in calendar brain. Calendar brain is why Monday wires exist. Put the Separatist leaders on the calendar. Clear the paint desk. Decide whether Savage or Ventress gets the first brush. First brushes matter. First brushes are how cartons become armies instead of unopened investments. Unopened investments are sad. Armies are loud. Loud is the CIS promise wearing a September 11 sticker.
