Star Wars Legion

One of the game-defining changes packaged with the revamped Legion rules is the option to take double-sized corps units via a personnel upgrade. This will be the way going forward as many future corps kits will have twice as many models as we’re used to.

...

Still, I don’t think large corps units are Legion’s catch-all infantry solution in future. AMG’s counterbalance measures and FFG’s game design are already showing their usefulness, with the new units bringing plenty of advantages and disadvantages. There’s a strong argument to be made for taking one or two big squads, but you need a plan to use them. They represent a larger commitment of resources that should always be balanced by forethought.

Star Wars: Legion is getting The Bad Batch treatment with this new Operative Expansion. You’ll want to send in these Clones!

...

One of the first things to note about this new Operative Expansion is that it’s got the new hard plastics but still has some of the older style cards. You can read about the Star Wars: Legion refresh here. The newer plastics are easy to work with and (I think) have better detail that the older stuff. I’m glad AMG made the switch for these miniatures.

The long anticipated Clone Commandos are finally fully revealed for Star Wars: Legion. Today we’re going to look at this unit. We’re also going to touch on Delta Squad.

Just a picture of one of the official ewoks (unpainted) next to one of Anvil Rage's eowks (painted).

The Anvil Rage one is a little bigger and I think the proportions are a little better. Not sure how much I like these official designs yet... maybe they'll grown on me once I paint them up. Will probably mix and match when I play but I only play for fun so it shouldn't be a problem.

I know the game started with Galactic Civil War so obviously it haw greater variety, but does anyone else feel like Clone Wars isn't as interesting to play? I sorely want a third corpse unit for GAR and CIS. Whenever I make any army for either, I feel like I always end up with less units and the upgrades don't synergize very well. Am I just not playing them right?

I think this is what the rocks will look like on my Geonosis table. Hoping I can get it done this weekend. I’ll post once I have the full table done.
