Wouldn't be surprised if there are troopers and Vanguards in the Rebel side. Could be that Rebels end up with the highly specialized infantry this time around?

I don't think I've waited in more anticipation for any other game than right now, except maybe Armada on release day.

I agree. I haven't been this excited to hear about a game since I heard about Armada.

Has FFG said if you can watch the presentation live online anyplace? Twitch maybe?

Team Covenant are streaming the presentation-

OH MY GAWWWWWD! Well it's IA scale :) and features upgrade cards <_<.

Yep, it's real!

"Around 34mm" was the statement, but very unsure, and suggested everyone check the case and website afterwards.

No.

There's been no updates to the News page.

Pics anyone? Some of us poor blokes are on our mobile devices and aren't able to stream it right now. :unsure:

Gotta be honest, not super thrilled about the scale. I'm sure it's going to look friggin' sweet on the table, but the larger size is going to put it well out of my price range.

There's no really good pictures yet. They're all blurry pics from the Powerpoint at a distance...

But the Demo Area will open soon and we'll get actual pictures on the tabletop, and probably an Artcile too.

I don't understand the disappointment from the live post thread for Legion.

Seems like exactly what I expected, a 28mm star wars mini game that can and most definitely will have all the things I want in such a format.

I think the Core set will be a little less specialized than snow troopers and gun emplacement.

Calling Imperial Hover tank from Rebels plus Rebel Hovertank from Rogue 1 and a smattering of Infantry for each. Maybe an E-Web for Imperials and Rocket trooper for Rebels.

Mostly I was just disappointed it looked like IA without the board. FFG has a tendancy to do things in new and interesting ways with interesting mechanics. I will still follow it for a bit but I was just expecting a little more creativity.

I wish it was a little smaller scale than IA as well, but I find myself far from dissappointed.

And we have yet to actually see it on the table, until someone snaps a pick side by side with an Imperial Trooper from each game for reference I won't know for sure.

So you're saying Space Marine conversion packs imminent, ehh...

Those pictures are alright I'd say: https://twitter.com/teamcovenant

Yep, right off the Demo Table, as predicted :D

Uhmm... at what part of the video is this Star Wars Legion thing mentioned? :blink:

Skipping forward in small steps I found no mention of it.

Oh found it elsewhere ;)

It's the last thing, naturally.

My poor wallet

Oh no, it's not on that video, they cut the feed!
