MiniatureMarket.com has a bunch of Legion stuff on sale today. I told myself I wasn't going to buy more until I painted what I already had, but I could't pass up stuff that cheap, even with shipping.

OB_Juan posted:Is the airspeeder not big enough? The side of an AT-ST? That’s true. I could get an airspeeder from MM, only $9 right now. I was saving the ATST to be something more Sabine-like but I think JoJo part 4 is pretty much analogous to sabine’s style.

My partner bought the starter kit for this on Black Friday for us, what do I need to get my hands on to get our forces up to proper size? I recall getting the 40k starter set in 7th and that was a few units short to begin with, so I'm just assuming going in here it's the same way.

I recall getting the 40k starter set in 7th and that was a few units short to begin with, so I'm just assuming going in here it's the same way. The boring answer is probably a second starter set. Two more sets of stormtroopers and rebel troopers is good since you need a minimum of 3 corps units, and fielding around 4 of either of those "basic" units is a good idea most of the time, particularly with rebels. It'll also make it so you don't have to share rulers or movement tools, you'll have a good amount of dice since some attack/defense dice pools can get pretty big, and an extra copy of Luke and Vader with their command cards is good since they're not stand alone models in case either of you want to dip into both factions independently and have your own personal versions of those guys. Regardless of whether you want to go ahead and do that, the big vehicles on either side eat up a bunch of points and are ok power-wise; the AT-ST moreso than the airspeeder. They're both fun to put on the table even if they are a bit over costed. My lists tend to gravitate towards supplementing 3-4 of the stormtroopers/rebel troopers with 1-2 of their respective closer range corp unit counterparts, so a really good choice is at least one box of snowtroopers and fleet troopers. A box of scout troopers and rebel commandos are also a good buy because they are set up such that one box can be fielded as a two model sniper team and a separate 4-5 model unit. Basically just look at a list builder and go with the mentality of getting around 4 corp units for each side and then fill it up with whatever you think is cool. So far everything released is viable, with the slight exception being the aforementioned heavy vehicles being underwhelming for their points cost. So if another starter isn't appealing, a box each of snowtroopers/fleet troopers would get your your minimum 3 corps units and a little more variety within that unit type, scout troopers/rebel commandos would get you two solid units out of one box each, and then from there you could buy a second commander for each side, the emplacement trooper gun turrets, go crazy with upgrades, or whatever you want to cover the last ~100 points.

I recall getting the 40k starter set in 7th and that was a few units short to begin with, so I'm just assuming going in here it's the same way. A second core is a good way to go, especially if you're trying to build both armies simultaneously. It gives you two more corp and support units for both sides and let's you play a full-sized game and gives you an idea for how it plays before you start investing in different units. Even at full retail price you're getting a good deal. One of the really nice things about this game is that you will always need to have 3 core units in an army, so the standard rebel/imperial troops will (supposedly) never go out of style. And while the only two other options for basic corps units (fleet troops and snowtroopers) are handy, they seem more suited to specialized placement in lists; you wouldn't want to field 6 whole units of them. After that, I recommend Leia and Veers as a second commander unit for each respective side. To be fair, I've bought way more than I've played, but in my local area Leia/Luke lists are still popular, and Veers plus a ton of troops and bikes can be very effective. If you get another core, I don't recommend buying a 3rd ATRT like I did, though; two is more than enough. Haven't tried more than two bikes, either, but I feel like even 2 is maybe too much for most lists. Hellburger99 fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Dec 3, 2018 |

How does the AT-ST fare? I think I remember hearing early in the game's life that it was incredibly costly for what it brought to the team, or something, but the model calls to me.

Its overpriced for what it does. It cant take or hold objectives, and it cant really go out hunting units either since it's really awkward to use around your own troops and maneuver around dense terrain. you just kind of stick it where it can hopefully get decent map coverage and hope it's enough of a deterrent to funnel enemy troops into other areas.(it wont be) Most people will just straight up ignore it though since it doesn't put out enough pressure to warrant putting in the effort to kill it.

On the new stuff: I keep forgetting that the flatbed truck from Rogue One is 1) A tank, and 2) isn't a hover-vehicle. Will probably get the landspeeder set, and kitbash up a different vehicle for the guns and figures. Use the speeder as scenery.

They really don’t have many rebel ground vehicles in the OT or in Rebels, do they? Is there a Tactical Combat Forklift they can get or something? The Rebels should have a “looted” rule like Orks in 40k. They can take any Imperial vehicle, but it’s about 10% shittier (and cheaper).

Kinda, they had carts running around: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rebel_personnel_carrier That's what I was thinking of, and I agree, give them "looted wagon" rules.

I get that they want to be thematic, but it seems like the rules don't support what they're trying to do. I haven't played for a while, so feel free to correct my potential misconceptions. Thematically, The Empire marches across the field, with heavy armor and overwhelming firepower. So far so good. Legion has armored troops and lots of big guns. Rebels are supposed to be a rag-tag force of guerrilla fighters using hit and run tactics and sabotage. It's hard to pull that off in a table-top war game. some of the units work well for that, but it seems like the base Rebel troops are at their most effective when you can plant them behind cover and never move them. I would think you'd want to create a system that rewards positioning and maneuvering.

I mean if you're going to do a Star Toyoda Wars technical, they should just do like a repeating blaster on a pintle mount where the passenger seat would be ripped out with the gunner leaning on the droid's back seat.

New speeder doesn't matter. The best speeder will always be the snow speeder (at least aesthetically).

I am glad Runewars and Star Wars both have a very similar release structure. I think FFG missed a chance to stand out by not making it an asymmetric game of just Nazis VS Terrorists. Would anyone here have any interest in the game if it wasn't star wars? I just want my Battle Droids unit.

Were you unsatisfied with the response this post got in the death thread? It's coming off a little aggressive. Plenty of games have been successful w/o a pre-established universe attached. I think Legion's initiative cardplay and action system are interesting enough to make it stand out even if I have to admit that I'd ultimately rather play X-wing or Guildball.

Rebel thing might be ok if they let the gunner guys shoot in any direction but if they're limited to the front arc only with a speed 2 + compulsory move this thing is gonna be garbo for the same reason the AT-ST is. The fact that you can only put in single unit troopers kinda blows. Luke really doesn't need a 75point ride when he has double move and force jump.

The imperial one is just gonna be a Snowtrooper delivery system if the theoretical Disembark counts as a Move, and they can Aim disembark, shoot, or just disembark move move, it will be good. Maybe even Vader/Palp would be keen to hitch a ride. It also makes order token manipulation interesting, as you'll sometimes want the tank to go first, other times the troopers.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/2/6/on-the-hunt/ Sabine and Bossk operatives.   Sabine is whatever, I'd rather have more film canon dudes-- literally anyone from Rogue One would be great. I do like the modelling touch of being able to do her with or without bucket. Bossk... I'm with Admiral Piet on this one. Bossk is cool ectothermic duder, but maybe some of the Imperial operatives could be, y'know Imperial? Do a pre-face turn Agent Kallus, or dip into your own lore and give us Blaise.
