Captain Versio and 2-3 operatives (the rest of Inferno) that she gets Teamwork with? Could also make them her entourage (whatever it was called to ignore the rank of a unit when building a list).

It sounded like people on the FFG Legion board were expecting an announcement this week, maybe Iden and Cassian? Either way, FFG announced paint sets for the Republic and Separatists instead. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/12/9/enter-the-clone-wars-1/

I can’t wait for the big gently caress-off tank and a pile of Phase II’s. I want to run clones-only at some point, with Rex at the head and nothing but his brothers out there with him

Oath Complete!

Just don't go and do something like buying 4 boxes of snowtroopers, 2 e-webs, Vader, Veers, and a generic officer all within the span of a month-ish   This is from a while back, but they're all done now (and most of my clone troopers are done, too  )

Zuul the Cat posted:I'm pretty close to that! I painted up both my stormtrooper units over the holidays. Those came out beautifully Shoretroopers are next on the list. I've got a Hoth theme (seen above), and I've started on a Scarif theme Empire list. 1 squad of Deathtroopers is done, out of...many more I need to buy, before I can even consider painting.

I use LegionAB (iPhone). Same idea as Armada Fleet Builder or LaunchBayNext, you can put in what you own and restrict it to only allow you to use cards you own when building your list.

Cad Bane may be what tempts me into Separatists. I don't particularly care about the droids or Grievous, but I may pick up the Clone Wars era bounty hunters just to paint and display.

Bane was proof you didn’t need to be another Jedi or Sith to go toe-to-toe with Jedi council members, being clever and well-equipped enough could carry you through. And also a willingness to sacrifice minions

I did it without, but his hair is smooth enough that he’s just painted to be bald. It’ll be a touch easier to pick him out in the sea of clones I plan on running, too. e: previous oath with Rex and a squad of Phase I’s.

I mean, you’d have 5 activations with Grievous + 4 squads of B2’s (each w/ the B2/ACM)...that’s a disgusting amount of health to try and deal with as they throw all of the dice at you. It’s disgusting, in all the right ways

Thanks! It’s my 501st theme army. Whenever Anakin finally comes out, he’ll swap in for the tank (assuming he’ll cost roughly the same).

That’s how I’ve got 2 speeder bikes Rex and 4 Phase 1 squads clock in at just under 500pts, and is perfect size for a skirmish match.

My buddy with a droid army said much the same, until it came time to paint them. I think he spent ~10min per squad on them. Base coat -> paint weapon -> apply wash, and done! I’m still scarred from playing IG in 40k, so I won’t be doing droids anytime soon.

Dreadwroth2 posted:Dag that is a sweet clean paintjob, I really like the Saber tank a lot. Thanks! It took the better part of a day (and I still missed a thing or two), but it’s as done as I want it to be. Floppychop posted:I play 40k/Sigmar and am thinking about picking up Legion. So, the only things I bought that weren’t in the Clone Wars core set are Captain Rex ($10-15), and the tank (~$40 if you don’t have an FLGS to support). Me and a buddy split 2 CW boxes, I took all the clones and he got all the droids. A full clone army for ~$140, minus paints and such. e: forgot about Obi Wan. You could do effectively this army, and swap the tank for him.

If I ever get around to doing Phase 2’s, I want to try contrast paints. Doing at least 3 coats of Pallid Witch Flesh as the base color got old fairly fast

I said come in! posted:You all were not loving around about assembling the Separatist droids. I think you'll spend about the same amount of time per droid as I did per clone, but most of my time was wrapped up in painting. Seemed like my friend who did 4-5 squads of droids hated the assembly, but painting them was "dead loving simple". I think he primed them Zandri dust, painted their weapons black, and hit it with a light wash. 1 droid done in ~4 min or so, on the painting side.

I was thinking of picking up Rebel Veterans just for that, as a counterpart to my Imperial Hoth army. My T47 is painted up in Rogue Squad colors already. I had a laugh of building a legal list with a generic officer, ~4x rebel vet squads, and 2x T47s just for display purposes, opposed to my Imperial Hoth army. I could never decided if I wanted to keep Vader in it, or swap him for the AT-ST. Unfinished (then), but best I currently have.  Veers, 4x snowies w/ flamethrower, 2x E-webs, and either generic officer + Vader, or AT-ST.

I feel like fleet troopers would be lethal at that range. I’ve had fun running Rex (at 90pts base), I think the cheaper commanders can start to shine. Mostly by allowing you to bring more troops, though.

Feeple posted:Do you think modifying the terrain count could help with Skirmish? For instance, instead of being on big open fields, make it snaking corridors through a ship? Yeah, Fleet Troopers are still good there, but the twists and turns could at least help the "standard" weapons like the E11 a bit. 40k Kill Team makes an Arena expansion that comes with a map like that complete with doors and obstacles. Rules for terrain are slightly different between skirmish and regular. Skirmish has 1/3 of the play area covered with terrain, vs 1/4 of the play area for normal Legion. Playing it with the right amount of terrain and some of the different deployment conditions in skirmish makes it feel like even the short-range shooters can get in a round or two of blasting fools on the other side of the table. Last time I played (March ) there was an utter bloodbath at range 2 or less, between my clones and opposing Rebels. Between fire support annihilating entire squads at once and Luke becoming the butcher he always wanted to be, there were less winners and only people who barely managed to survive the fight

So, I’m wanting to get back to painting again...after plowing through most of these guys in about 3 weeks time. Some of my old paints have dried out, so I’m in the market for new pots. Does anyone have any experience with contrast paints? I want to start back with shoretroopers/skirmish, and some variant of this list: (500/500) Empire Iden Versio (100) - Iden's TL-50 Repeater (15) = 130 total points Shoretroopers (52) - T-21B Trooper (32) = 84 total points Shoretroopers (52) - T-21B Trooper (32) = 84 total points Shoretroopers (52) - T-21B Trooper (32) = 84 total points Imperial Death Troopers (76) - E-11D Focused Fire Config (8) - DLT-19D Trooper (34) = 118 total points I’ve already got Iden (the easiest model I’ve ever painted ) and the DTs, so I’m looking for a scheme for shoretroopers that minimizes/eliminates painting white. I’ve got an army of snowtroopers and an army of clones done up in their standard colors, it’s time to branch out a bit.

Rex is just fun. Giving him fire support for a turn and having him blast fools that are swinging at his brothers is enough of a reason to take him. He’s great in skirmish, but I’m not sure if it’s because he’s cheap and can help you get another activation...or just him being a badass on his own. Maybe somewhat both?

Dawgstar posted:God only knows when I'll get the chance to play again, but how are folks finding the Clan Wren troops? Having played against them, they’re a unit you absolutely have to deal with. Surges on both sets of dice can make them death trooper-levels of nasty/durable, and they’re mobile enough to be slippery as well.

Lol I’ve got 5 as well. 2 cores worth, plus bought another. I cannibalized soldiers from there, the vet squads, the trooper upgrade box, and the rebel specialist box to get what I’ve got now (a random mix and humans and aliens spread through 4 squads that are whatever unit I want them to be in that game).

Last update had snowspeeders come down again (to 130 points), gave them surge->crit, and they get the harpoon for free now. I’ve been joking about running a list with 2 of them for a while now, but at that cost I may actually do it

Picked up a GAV today, and thought the cargo boxes could be drat fine objectives...but with the recent changes to the vehicle that make it count as heavy cover for whoever's inside, I couldn't just leave it as a bare space-truck bed either (wouldn't feel right getting cover while standing there on top). I magnetized the cargo boxes, and there's still enough space in the bed for 5 troopers to stand
