About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to bring Imperial chaos to your table with the Kayn Somos Villain Pack for Star Wars: Imperial Assault! If you enjoy the tactical gameplay and epic battles of the base game, this pack is for you. Kayn Somos isn't just any Stormtrooper; he's a brutal and ruthless commander, ready to crush any resistance. With this pack, you add not only a detailed character miniature but also new Command cards and missions that will spice up both the campaign and skirmish modes.
For campaign players, the Emperor gains a new ally with an exclusive side mission and an Agenda set that enhances the Empire's might. In skirmish mode, new command strategies emerge, along with a brand-new map featuring two unique missions. Kayn Somos brings a fearless style of warfare and tactical expertise that can turn the tide in your favor (or against you, if you're on the Rebel side!). Remember, this is an expansion pack, so you'll need the Imperial Assault Core Set to play, and some missions might require the Twin Shadows expansion. It's time to showcase the Empire's power in a new and exciting way!
