Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Page turners, they are not.

Guys, you've taken your feet of the peddle.

Let's not go to "Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout."

It's a silly place.

The pedal to hit page 400?

Or the one governing the tread actually having predictions instead of just general discussions?

Interesting that Moff Gideon's light cruiser is a new class of ship rather than a heavily modified Arquitens, what are the chances the 546 cruiser becomes a light carrier expansion? I could see a younger Gideon officer/commander card and a dark trooper boarding team bundled with the ship.

The talk behind this, is... *Heavily* controversial, and basically, there's little-to-no evidence that it is.

The frame is visually the same. It’s a refit at best, or I riot.

I heard new article was going to be 5 minutes after they shut this forum ;)

also pleased to say no missing items in my clone wars Xmas presents. Just had fun sourcing squadron packs here in the UK

Clifton Road Games currently have 2 Republic and 3 Separatist fighter packs in stock.

SWM36: Republic Fighter Squadrons - Clifton Road Games, Exeter

SWM37: Separatist Fighter Squadrons - Clifton Road Games, Exeter

Is there any rumour or intelligence report on when the wave 10 ships are going to hit the stores? My wife and I have an agreement that hobby stuff is given on special days as presents to each other, so if they aren’t out by Valentines then I’m waiting until Fathers Day!

The rumor from FFG was Q1, ideally January. I am betting on March at the earliest.

I figured that it was simply an Arquitens with heavy modifications but where did wookieepedia get the name "546 cruiser"?

Even if it's just a refit we still could still get some Armada content out of it, a unique title or ship card perhaps.

Unironically would buy the RLS Legacy expansion.

Proof I am correct. They already have the ship files.

Actually, I would really love a wooden ships and iron men in space game. Love the looks of wooden Men of War, LOVE space battles. Since Disney owns both, SEQUELS!

At best it would be a Title in a Campaign expansion. It could have a unique boarding team.

Only 103 pages to go! Come on! Come on! Come on!

Does anybody here play Legion? If so, could you please answer a few questions about the models?

When the preview shows helmetless clones, as in the Arc Troopers expansion, are helmet options provided, or will 2 of the 7 models permanently be without helmets? Is glue required in the assembly of the models, or are they 'snap' together?

Thanks!

1. Helmets / Heads for the newer expansions are often options. Don‘t know about the Arc Troopers. (I have rebels and imps only.)

2. You need glue for the hard plastic minis of the newer expansions. Some of the soft plastic expansions could hold without but are meant for glueing as well.

What about the limbs (legs and arms, maybe head) - if there are optional poses, would I be gluing those, or are they swappable?

I think the wave will be split into two separate waves. The two large ships will come out in February/early March. The two other ships will be released in late spring (may or so)

Can you get gift cards from your favorite game store as your Valentine’s Day gift? The next wave might be out by then but gift cards cover ya if it’s not.

This is part of the controversy.

A Highly Blurred, Freeze-Frame from the show, specifically just after the Facial Scan. From *That* Computer.

And of course, its in Aubresh. And it only says 546.

(To the point that if you overlay the known "Regular" Arquitens even the mismatched painted panels are duplicated)

So of course, that could be the Cruiser Registration Number for all we know. But the controversy is about how certain members have adamantly taken it, and how more reasonable minded people (in my opinion) have been shut out of the discussion.

It really depends. I didn‘t glue the arms of Sabine Wren and Bossk, so I can swap them with the alternate weapons options. That works just fine. But the head of Iden Version always popped out, when I lifted the model, so I had to glue it. (I lost the alternate helmet anyway ... 🙃)

The hard plastic minis like Clan Wren had to be glued completely. You can’s stick the limbs in holes and swap them if you like. The alternate poses are only good if you buy a second expansion. I know that the B1 Battle droids have lots of different possible poses but have to be glued. Don‘t know so much about the clone minis, but think they are the same.

All in all I like the quality of the minis very much.

Ships and squadron stands

do we think the move to amg, that we could see spare parts.

I find squadron ones from mels feel too chunky

No. Not any more than previously, which was a "No" due to multiple factors.

The AMG side is only *design*.

Production and Manufacture will still be under Asmodee, as it has been.

I've shifted the majority of the extant painting guides to galleries on my KoFi page for now.

Clone Wars guides will come as I have time :)

But expect those as well as more unique tips and tricks, like cockpit jewelling
