I noticed that in the announcement article. FFG have had some goofy loving sculpts in Imperial Assault, but Legion is supposed to be better. That is... not.

Possible that they just don't want to pay Harrison Ford for his likeness, and thus we get a duff model.

I'm pretty sure Disney have the rights to Harrison Ford's likeness as Han Solo in Star Wars. It's not like the card art sucks balls. And the are the license holders. It's just a poo poo mini. Even the IA Solo is better. It's a little derpy but it's recognisable when painted.

The minis are the main thing preventing me from getting into Legion. Star Wars skirmish Combat would be right up my alley otherwise.

The other minis are great, tbh. The airspeeder and at st are amazing. The rebels are great.

I'm generally liking what I see for legion, it is a Squad/vehicle based game so I'm OK with the troopers not being individual jewel like objects of wonder. The main characters do however need to be a good likeness of the iconic characters.

I dont think thats the issue in this case (because gently caress, is there anything han solos face HASNT appeared on at this point?), but likeness rights can be screwy. Thunder Castle Games had the license to make the officially licensed CCG of Highlander. They had the rights to the TV shows and the Movies, and the card art was stills from the shows/movies. But for a long time sean connerys face didnt appear on any card art at all. I think there was like 2 cards with his shoulder or hand in frame, but that was about it. Apparently there was something about his image rights in particular, and they had to negotiate with him separately (they did eventually put out a "ramirez" set with his face on some cards, but then the game died). As I say I doubt thats the issue here, disney has literal platoons of lawyers who make sure their licensing rights and contracts are locked down *tight* and thunder castle games by all accounts I've heard were slightly less organised and professional (being a CCG company in the boom of the 90's).

Because it's literally a Western, and the crew are literally escaped ACW Confederates, so it makes weird old-tymey names?

The others are entirely ok blockbuster action movies, but nerds have raised star wars up to such a weird level.

There's a dude who regularly posts on the MWG forums building one that's even bigger. IIRC, he's already got over $1800 in bits in the thing. For what loving purpose I have no clue.
