Luke/Sabine/3 mandos is an awful lot of points and mandos generally prefer to skirmish- plus Sabine really likes having a commander that can take Vigilance. I'm not the biggest fan of Rebel veterans but they're irl cost effective since they come with both the troopers and an emplacement so you get two units for the price of one; I'd probably pick up a box of Rebel specialists for the generic officer as well. 2x vets/turrets, Sabine, officer, clan wren and 2 generic mandos is a pretty decent list. You might also want Lando, he comes with the excellent Vigilance upgrade and pairs well with Sabine and a lot of other heroes, including Luke.

If you're playing Rebel, especially Mandos, then Cassian and K2SO are simply excellent choices for command slot. You probably still want a Rebel officer in there. Edit: this is a really fun and flexible list, no jedi, but Sabine can psuedo fight like one with the darksaber. Commanders: - Cassian Andor (90): Offensive Push (4), Situational Awareness (2), Recon Intel (2), A280-CFE Config (10) = 108 - Rebel Officer (45): Vigilance (5), Portable Scanner (6) = 56 Operative: - K-2SO (70): Comms Jammer (5), Jyn's SE-14 Blaster (10) = 85 - Sabine Wren (125): Situational Awareness (2), Recon Intel (2), Electro Grappling Line (5), The Darksaber (15) = 149 Corps: - 3× Rebel Troopers (40) = 120 Special Forces: - Clan Wren (34): Tristan Wren (38), Ursa Wren (38), Situational Awareness (2), Recon Intel (2) = 114 - Mandalorian Resistance (72): Beskad Duelist (28), Offensive Push (4), Recon Intel (2), Jetpack Rockets (8) = 114 - Commando Strike Team (20): DH-447 Sniper (28) = 48 From the core you'd need only a few extra boxes. 1 of Cassian, Specialists, Sabine, Mandos (one box gives both squads), Commandos, Rebel Trooper Upgrade. hoiyes fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Nov 17, 2021 |

Yeah just drop Cassian and K2SO for Luke with force push and force reflexes and emergency Stims. The main issue with that list is trying to get orders on your key pieces so you can time when they activate. Edit you probably have enough left over for a medbot on those troopers too

Commander Luke isn't super great but he's a good fit for Cassian. (Operative Luke is fantastic but he's a separate purchase)code:Something like this is basically the same stuff as listed above, technically you'd need a second box of commandos but you cam proxy pretty easily. E: whoops that's only 9 activations and you probably want 10, so maybe toss in another box of troopers. (A second core set probably isnt a bad idea if you're splitting it, since both of you will need the cards, tokens, etc) StashAugustine fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Nov 18, 2021 |

GreenBuckanneer posted:So lets say I go rebels, and go halvsies on the core box, and buy the max amount of Clan Wren, and a coworker goes for Imperial, what else would I need for a “full” team? Legion is a smaller model count than 40k and because of that I'd say it has tighter list building. Even if you do have a list with lots of units, those units are probably 3-5 models. You don't just chuck everything cool onto the table, you are looking for synergies and what a unit is bringing to the list. You want both Vader and Palpatine in the same list? Prepare to fill up on basic Stormtrooper squads without upgrades, and put the AT-ST back on the shelf! Personally I think it's a sign of good design if you have to pick and choose, which means you aren't going to see the same thing over and over again. It also means you probably aren't playing the exact same list every time, so the game won't get so stale for you.

This game has turned me into a monster and I've decided to get into painting these figures. Does anyone have a recommendation about decent paint sets that they've used? specifically for the core set of imperials and the imperials expansion. I was looking at just buying the paint sets from the Fantasy flight games but I've read that citadel color is better?

There's three main brands people use. Army Painter makes the official Legion stuff, I've only used their primers but I know some people say they're lower quality. I use Vallejo most of the time, it's cheap and I like the more muted WW2 colors. Citadel/Games Workshop is the most expensive but their stuff is pretty good, though their pots suck. Citadel is usually carried in stores ime, and right now Vallejo seems to be having trouble with shipping. In general you'll need not only the base paints but also primer (usually spray on) to form a bottom layer, and probably washes (very thin, almost watery paints) to provide easy shading. Varnish is also good for protecting the mini (matte usually but maybe gloss for the shiny armor.) For Imperials you can kinda get away with just white, black, red, grey and a bit of skin tone for most stuff, I usually buy stuff piecemeal as I need it. The trickiest thing is painting white since it's hard to apply and easy to mess up. Personally what I do for storms is prime them in white and give them a thinned coat of apocathary white contrast paint (a new line from Citadel that's basically base and wash in one), which gives you a clean white look with grey shading.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks contrast paints are M A G I C for getting stuff to a tabletop standard easily. contrast white is incredible for storm/clonemans.

The way I paint white stuff is I spray them white, give them a ridiculously heavy wash with GW's black shade, spray them white again but very lightly, and then drybrush white over that. I've not done stormtroopers yet, but here's how it looks on a mech of approximate size.

alright cool. my local comic/game shop I believe actually has a decent selection of citadel paints, I'll probably see what colors are used in the fantasy flight specific paint and try to just grab what I need. I'm not artistic at all, these will probably turn out horrible but they can be the disaster im proud of I suppose.

Yeah, heavy weapons are generally the only thing that must be represented on the model. But you can do arm/head) swaps if you want (though it's pretty hard with the old soft plastic kits which are made to fit only certain ways.

Yeah I did a bunch of kitbashing with the rebel troopers but all that really matters is that somebody's got the long rifle and somebody's got the shotgun. I usually like to give them as well as the specialist and leader minis slightly different coloring as well

Anyone have good recommendations of a solid commander/operative combination that doesn't absolutely destroy your point count for the galactic empire? Going palpatine/vader is nearly half of your points allocation with two units, along with having imperial guards to stick close to palpatine to provide a bit of support for his fragile rear end, and vader being amazing in some ways, but not others. I'm fully aware that the imperial troops are some of, if not the most expensive units in the game but I feel like my units are so brittle in comparison to the theorycrafting I come up with in my head with the other factions. My last round I rolled with palpatine and Boba Fett, which worked out super well given the mission was to sabotage the enemy's base, but getting more than 7 activations (had 8) required limiting a few of my units to being straight up barebone troopers. poo poo, if I wanted to go just as an imperial officer that's 45 points for a commander, albeit worthless in comparison to every other commander at my disposal. I'm considering trying out Krennic and having Vader as my operative, allowing me to throw a bunch more fodder/beefed up troops to not get overwhelmed by a ton of enemies.

Nice and hot piss posted:Anyone have good recommendations of a solid commander/operative combination that doesn't absolutely destroy your point count for the galactic empire? Palps and Vader are two of the most expensive heroes in the game so that's not surprising; they probably both work best on their own. Kallus works well with most other commanders with his contingencies, especially ones that have situational or weak command cards- he might fit with Vader though probably a bit less so now that Vader's cards got errata and are almost all very good. Bossk/Boba is popular, sometimes with Kallus as well. Veers is basically just paying a bit too much for an officer so he can fit anywhere, Krennic might also work with Vader purely for Deploy the Garrison. vvv: it'll be fun the first time you catch someone out with a recon intel move-claim-move on the center box! I do feel like Iden/Vader might be a problem given that you've got 3 nutty 3-pips in there, and the one Iden brings also wants you to blow points on your special forces StashAugustine fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Nov 30, 2021 |

I think I used either Zandri Dust, or something close to it? for my shores.  My stormies were just straight white.  And my snowies were primed white, with a light Celeste Grey over it (with a few tans thrown in for good measure).  Mandalorian/Sabine:   My phase II’s were done with a white primer, and Ushabti bone.  My thought was to try and link them all together at least a little bit via the paint schemes, since the lineage runs mandalorians->clones->stormtroopers->other troopers. Boba, for shits and giggles:

Very nice. I'm going to do my first figurine painting on some basic stormtroopers here soon, try and get into some texturing/shading with them, followed by my AT-ST. My signature pieces like boba fett and vader I'd rather wait after I get some experience painting so I don't absolutely botch the gently caress out of them.

I really hate painting stormtroopers since it's just getting a plain white surface (spray primer helps) and then doing a bunch of finicky details on the face which I inevitably gently caress up and make them look like clowns; and the paint scheme isn't even interesting visually or technically
