C'mon FFG. I played with Vader in Rebellion, in IA, in xwing, in destiny... the basic troopers don't need to be that variable, but the commanders will be the face of the army. Don't you dare announce Leia, Han, and Chewie as the next commanders... Give us Kylo Ren( helmet wearing) with the sick *** unstable blade, Phasma, Krennic, saw gerrera...

Phasma would be awesome, but how do you paint chrome armor?

And my personal want for the Imperial side commander: Thrawn.

I think you will be waiting at least another year for Resistance stuff. Possible 2 to coincide with Episode IX.

I would rather they flesh out the current period (GCW) before branching off Then release Resistance or Clone wars as 'New' cores to + new wave one to flesh out the new armies.

Still, absolutely crazy every single Legion battle for the near future will have Darth Vader facing Luke Skywalker.....

We don’t know that, though. Has there been anything that says the stuff they just previewed was everything from wave 1?

Unless they have done that, they could still be planning on releasing more commanders.

There are a couple of ways to paint chrome armor. The easiest is to just not paint chrome and instead paint the armor silver. The medium, but still not very easy way is to get some specially made 'chrome paint' and literally chrome out the armor plates. The hard way, likely requiring a TON of practice, is to use a sky/earth non-metallic metal effect (SENMM) to paint the model using whites, blues, tans and browns.

If we get a Phasma, I'll just paint her silver. Dirty silver, with a good red cloak would look great on the battlefield.

Runewars doesn't exactly have waves, but if they follow the same release schedule, I'd expect the next new product announcement to be a Special Forces slot and a new Commander slot for each faction.

Then again, "Commanders" are optional in Runewars. They aren't in Legion.

Yes, it will be a problem until they announce Generic commanders. I am hoping they do soon. And I hope there are Generic/un named/faceless options for command, because I want it to be about troops and vehicles not Vader vs Luke or even worse, Vader vs Vader/ Luke vs Luke. I can handle empire vs empire if there's options for generic commander, makes enough sense Vader trying to stop a renegade stormtrooper faction or Luke and his group coming to blows partisan rebels.

Agreed in that I very much want there to be generic commanders.

It dosnt always have to be about the heroes.

Exactly, and it gives the heroes more presence when they do show up.

I'm keeping faith in Alex saying at GenCon that they have a "very aggressive release schedule" planned for expansions. I have a funny feeling that in a few months, we'll be complaining that FFG is releasing things too quickly and we can't afford to keep up.

This please!

I could go for some variation in officers, Grand Admiral Thrawn and General Veers, possibly even a generic Imperial commander for Imperials, some generic cowardly terrorists for rebels would be okay too I guess.

Thrawn would be great. he gets better when the opponent has has a quality paint job (aka artistic skilz) on his minis.

Phasma's chrome wasn't particularly shiny, so a I think a silver Phasma with just some lighting effects would look pretty true to form.

If you're gonna have models whose rules are based on paint schemes...

In the show, Sabine is shown to be an avid painter/graffiti artist. I think he was kidding.

Well, you can explain one of those as Luke Vs Luuke

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm not touching this game until the Clone Wars armies come out. Grievous, Dooku, and Assajj would me awesome commanders!

My wallet's probably safe from this game, though.

Characters from Rebels would be great. Rogue One as well and just about anyone else that is not a Skywalker.

Like 90% sure Alex Davy let slip that the wave 1 rebel commander was Leia.

Edit: Nothing he said in the team covenant video indicated that Leia is necessarily coming in wave 1, but she was the example he used for a game with 2 commanders.

Hope its Endor Leia. Although plonking her head on Alliance Rangers from IA might do the trick... we shall see.

Hoth Leia is a bit more "commandery"...
