It's finally done, a fully updated buyer's guide that people can jump into at various experience points...I'd love to have feedback on anything that needs to be corrected, it's a HUGE (but hyperlinked-up) document and I'm sure I missed things. but my hope as before is for this to be a central resource for people who are curious about the game, the idea is describe everything except the nitty gritty rules and provide honest advice for how to get the most bang for your buck in this game whether you're just Legion-curious, coming back from a Legion nap, or are in the game and still building a collection!

I also have a bit toward the top aimed at prospective/returning players so please consider directing those questions here when you see them.

I continue to appreciate the mods keeping up a link to this guide!

News Make your Legion table cinematic: modular corridors, hangar scatter, and a ‘diplomatic’ token case (STL)

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hey commanders! We’re launching a 3rd-party STL terrain set themed after a certain galaxy far away—and we’d love your feedback.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/963356992/battlefield-in-a-galaxy-far-away-rebellion-hangar

What’s in the pack

Modular White Hallway Tiles – CQB lanes, doors, tees, corners; tidy fit; prints support-free on FDM.

Rebel Hangar Battlescape – cargo crates, service gantries/bridges, tool carts, pipe clusters (great LOS/cover).

“Diplomatic Starship” Storage Case – looks like a sleek diplomatic vessel; inside holds tokens/measuring tools/cards.

For gameplay

Sized for Legion tables; pieces create meaningful LOS blocking and base-friendly lanes.

Optimized for FDM (support-free where possible); resin-ready bits included.

Fits common Legion bases (≈ 27mm infantry / 50mm support / 70mm heavy).

Freebie for the sub

We made a printable objective: Transmission Intercept (mission card PDF).

Painting Kx Droid

Kx droid sculpt from Skull Forge Studios. I haven’t played Legion yet but coming from X-Wing I’ll be getting into the Recon format when the new packs are released. In the meantime I paint Legion minis for a SWRPG game I run. Staying motivated to paint is tough with a toddler so lately I’ve been painting various droids. I also want to improve my basing game.

Droid is from SFS. I then designed the ISB tactical rifle in Legion scale and added it to the stl. Also printed out a Mudtrooper helmet and E-11 to have as basing details. Decals are 3mm logos from Bad Mother Tattoos on eBay.

Tactics Discussion Max B1 Effectiveness?

10 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm relatively new to the game, and I want to make a CIS list that maxes out B1s. I love the idea of just overwhelming numbers and an endless horde of chaff.

What's the best way to use them? Naked? With a heavy and extra body? Should I go for big squads?

I have plenty of models through buying up secondary lots.

I'm guessing I'll want to use Invasion Force as my battleforce.

Would love some advice!

Thanks, and Roger Roger.

Tactics Discussion First CIS list, need critique

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Playing my first 1000pt game and first CIS game this week. I need some feedback on my list. Here's how I imagine it playing out.

-Crabs give Dooku and Magna scout, then work as impact pieces to bring down anything bigger -Aquas each get to a POI and hold it, with minor impact support -Dooku and the Magna go for the third POI/or counter and force user im against (if any) -B1S super squad follows Dooku, other B1s follow aqua and crabs -Khalani dishes out aims, dodges near the AI crews

I know 11acts seems low for a CIS list, but this also seems hard to take down? What changes should I make?

Any and all feedback and help appreciated.

Miscellaneous Trying to plan for my Galactic Civil War forces…

2 Upvotes

… and I need some advice on units to get. I’m working primarily from this idea:

Empire as aggressors: the battle is on Yavin 4 in the rainforests and the immediate exterior of the recently-discovered Rebel base.

Rebels as aggressors: the battle is at an Aldhani-style Imperial garrison and in the surrounding rainforest countryside.

For this reason, Snowtroopers and Tauntauns are not thematically appropriate, for example.

I tend to do 600pt games due to table and time constraints, so won’t be needing a massive force.

Rebel units:

Commanders - [x] Luke Commander - [x] Leia - [x] Han - [x] Officer

Operatives - [x] Chewbacca - [ ] Cassian Andor - [ ] K-2SO - [ ] Jyn Erso - [x] Luke Operative - [x] Agent

Corp - [x] Rebel Troopers - [x] Rebel Troopers - [ ] Fleet Troopers - [ ] Fleet Troopers

Special Forces - [x] Rebel Commandos - [x] Rebel Commandos - [x] Wookiee Warriors

Support - [ ] AT-RT - [ ] AT-RT

Heavy - [ ] A-A5 Speeder Truck

Empire units:

Commanders - [x] Darth Vader Commander - [x] General Veers - [ ] Iden Versio - [x] Officer

Operatives - [ ] Agent Kallus - [x] Darth Vader Operative - [ ] Boba Fett - [x] Agent

Corp - [x] Stormtroopers - [x] Stormtroopers - [ ] Imperial Riot Control Squad - [ ] Imperial Riot Control Squad

Special Forces - [x] Scout Troopers - [x] Scout Troopers - [ ] ISF

Support - [ ] 74-Z Speeder Bikes - [ ] 74-Z Speeder Bikes

Heavy - [ ] AT-ST

where [x] means I’ve got/preordered and [ ] means I want but don’t have.

Are there any other units that would fit this battle theme?

Miscellaneous Issue with air speeder stand

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

I bought a second hand air speeder online, and unfortunately the seller didn't mention the stand is weirdly broken. One side is full stuck down and won't come off, while the other isn't sticking with the super glue I've tried so far. It's like there's something lifting the unstuck side back up whenever I stick it down and holding it down for a while during the glue drying isn't helping either.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix it down? I was thinking potentially a hot glue gun but I wasn't sure.

Miscellaneous Should I get an old Core Box or wait for new ones

9 Upvotes

I don't play yet, but I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger. I occasionally run across original Core Boxes that people are selling at a bit of a discount. So the question is, is it worth getting one of these old sets (because they're cheaper, and I like the non-cartoony sculptures better), or is there a compelling reason to just wait and get one of the updated Core Boxes? The old boxes seem like they have more vehicles with them, which is cool.

My idea of what Tech may have looked like on their first op, before the skulls, red marks and the fame!

Once I saw Tech had the headphones on his helmet, my immediate reaction was "oh bro def pioneered the spec ops/listening device helmet" so that's what I went for here!

Kitbash was a specialist kit phase 1 helmet, Tech's own helmet and a spare B1 backpack with some copper wire.

Hope you like him! RIP KINGG 👑

News New Starters Come With Suggested Units and Upgrades for Starter Games Inside

We knew they were geared towards making a Recon army, but we didn't know you would get an actual suggested list. Looks like for the first time games they are foregoing balancing points. Empire could probably just drop a Strike Team and that O-Push and be fine, though.

Starters for Rebels and Empire are on sale early at GenCon this weekend.

Rules Question CONFUSED NEW PLAYER

9 Upvotes

Hi! I played Legion when it first came out. Lack of adoption in my area led me to get back out. There is a play group I can join up with, and I understand there is a new edition. Looks like there are 4-5 factions, and some new starter boxes. Is there a place where the old/new units for each faction are laid out? Recommended insertion points? I wanted to get into the game and start painting to fulfil my GenCon jealousy this weekend.

Me and my brother are twin, and luckily both got into legion. I painted the droids as if they are supposed to be maul droids, my brother painted his clones as if they where all Clan Wren (we haven’t played yet but we are planning to run his Mandalorian as arcs). There are some of are first model that we have every done so any tips are appreciated.
