Command and Colours was mentioned earlier. They'll probably go that route and you'll end up with 20mm mans fighting 6mm tanks and artillery. I am totally fine with this.

Yeah, They already make Battlelore - so a hex based game like that is the most likely.

TBH the "smart" way to do this is probably to keep the infantry at 28mm and sell dual-use Imperial Assault/NewGaem packs to encourage people to buy into both.

There are Storm troopers guarding the empty tables at the FFG booth, and we are waiting in line for the in flight report where they will announce... Something...

My friend said there were speeder bikes shown as well as endor bunker. Might still be tempted, but really only if they make a speeder bike with Paploo.

Is he from the St. Paul meta? If so I talked to him yesterday in the FFG line. I got his card for his podcast thing. Cool guy. He was coy about what he was demoing besides "new" and "I can't talk about it"

Star Wars: Legion huh? Sounds a little generic. They should have called it Star Wars: Battlefront  Edit: Sorastro was quick https://youtu.be/1OVnCFq1j04 And a teaser trailer for the game,looks like Sorastro painted all these: https://youtu.be/8hNV5sSNM5M Is it a bit of false advertising if theyre unpainted figs? drunkill fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Aug 18, 2017 |

Personally, I hate painting and only do it when I'm about to go into a tournament situation that requires painted minis. Seriously, like 90% of my painted minis were painted the night before a tournament event. Otherwise, I just say "gently caress it" and play unpainted or base coated minis.

Some game mechanics explanation: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-legion/ Realistically, I wasn't expecting a regimental game closer to historicals despite that being part of the flavor of Grand battles in Star Wars. However, it looks like it's similar to infinity or test of honor with a linked orders system. There's a limited ARO system which I guess is OK. The interesting thing is to see if they take advantage of the panic caused by loss of leadership. The descriptions keep talking about using unit leaders to move squads. Hopefully that means that if the unit leader is removed, squads are pinned, easier to flee, or have extremely limited options.

Really hope that it's not gonna have the same activation number issues that Armada has.

It looks like a decent cleaner and more lightweight take on 40k and I'm very interested as to how it pans out. Super curious as to how they'll handle factions and additional content and support. Also those movement templates look like they'd be clunky as gently caress on a crowded board.
