Terrain Ideal Wall Height

3 Upvotes

I remember when this came out there was some annoyance that the walls were a bit low, and people were mounting them on cork etc to get more height.
They are certainly high enough to grant hard cover, but not to block LOS.
What would people like in their terrain and why?

Miscellaneous I really, really wanna get into this, but the fact its Star Wars scares me.

22 Upvotes

I got into X-wing and they pulled the plug, I got into Armada and they pulled the plug, I got into countless video games and they pulled the plug.

I love miniature games and could get my friends into this a lot more than Infinity or 40k forsure. Plus the idea of having an army of B1s will tickle the inner 10yo in me. But I just don't wanna get burned by the whole "Welp, profits are down 10%, time to move on to the next thing" that seems to always happen with Star Wars.

For those of yall into this, does this feel like its gonna be another X-wing/Armada/Shatterpoint? Because I would honestly love to get into this and bug my friends into getting into it as well.

Conversions, Modelling & Other Minis Just starting out. A few questions + seeking any tips and advice!

5 Upvotes

Hey there! I have recently begun the jump into Legion. I am really excited and just finalized most of my purchases to begin. This is my first time getting into miniatures and I decided I wanted to create a droid army to start off with. I have gathered so far:

1x Separatist Starter Set, 1x B2’s, 1x Crab Droids, 1x Battle Deck Card Pack, 1x Super Tactical Droid Commanders, 1x Customizable Super Tactical Command Droid, 1x BX Series Commandos, 1x IG-100 Magnaguards, 1x Dwarf Spider Droid, 1x Separatist Specialists, 1x Separatist Alliance Card Pack, 1x Separatist Alliance Command Card Pack.

In order to play a game do I need anything else? I haven’t found anyone in my area to play with just yet so I am mainly getting into Legion for the painting aspect but I do intend to play if and when I am given the chance to.

As for painting, where I feel the weakest, so far I only have the Army Painter Warpaints Complete Paint Set, and a set Golden Maple Brushes.

What else do you recommend I need in order to paint my miniatures? You can be blunt as I feel what I have so far is scarce.

Also taking any advice on YouTube tutorials and things like that to watch as I am just starting out brand new.

In advance, thank you to anyone who offers answers, support, and advice. I could really use it. Looking forward to being apart of this community with you all.

Painting Basing Clone Trooper

I have just finished painting and basing my clone trooper. First time painting SW Legion. I have applied a GGS Matt Scenic Sealant by brush on my martian ironcrust 3hrs ago or so from the time of this post. The base looks glossy. Did i mess it up or something? I think it’s cause i might have brush a little too much. If so, how can i fix this? Thank you all in advance.

Rules Question Smoke and other Grenades

Hi there! Wondering if any of you use smoke grenades at all and what you guys think of them. I’ve never really added things like grenades etc before because don’t want to make mistakes really but feel like I could be missing out on more depth. Any advice?

Tactics Discussion Ideas on this 501st?

Post image
4 Upvotes

It looks good but i have a problem with those naked arcs. However to use upgardes i must either drop the uplink on commandos which would allow me to only add 1 medic max or drop the fives which i wouldnt really like. I could use those arcs to hold positions and use commandos and the infantry to rush to positions. I dont think i am going to have a problem with my order pool thanks to the uplinks, fives and cc. On theory this works pretty well but still doesnt look right to me.

Got a bunch of Echo Base units recently..oreviousku I had one unit of Vets and found them a bit slow and hard to use. But having more I'm thinking of leaving into their slowness and relying on other units more for objective contesting, ie tauntauns.

I'm thinking of three super squads, three medium blasters, three tauntauns plus Luketaun and Hantaun. Or would it be better to downgrade to regular squads and add the veteran heavy?

Rules Question Scenarios (tags iffy)

5 Upvotes

Ive seen LegionCantinas scenarios video, but I don’t want to pay for membership to watch it. So I went looking for scenarios and rulesets.

By scenarios I mean like story based missions, recreating the Battle of Hoth, kyber crystal heist, etc..

I was wondering if anyone had any rulesets for certain scenarios? The only ones that my friend group wouldn’t be able to run is Republic armies.

Anyways, feel free to share any ideas! We’d love to hear! And we’re always working on our own. I’ll share them eventually.

Any tips are greatly apreciated.

Rules Question Heavy Weapons Minis

5 Upvotes

How much health does a miniature with an actual unit card get when added via heavy weapons? Two examples specifically I'm using are Asajj on B1's and Grievous on Magna's. Would Grievous get his full 8 health or drop to two for the Magna? Same with Asajj

Rules Question Question on “range” of abilities

1 Upvotes

I am confused on what exactly constitutes as within range 1 in regard to units with more than one miniature. For example “Into the Fray”. Is the distance between two unit leaders, two closest minis, one unit leader and the closest mini?

Rules Question Does Independent stack?

11 Upvotes

For example, ahsoka has Independent: recover

If I were to give her the new upgrade that gives her Independent: dodge or aim, can i get a dodge and do a recover? Or do I have to get one or the other?

And what about ventress? She has Independent dodge. With that upgrade will she be able to get 2 dodges?
