My $120 800 point rebel army and the way I came to terms with imperial assault incompatibility.

By TylerTT, in Star Wars: Legion

Me and a friend are splitting two core sets. I'm taking the rebels and he is taking the imperials (we each get to keep a Luke and Vader)

I already happen to own an imperial army from the Wonderfull imperial assault game so I have no need to collect and paint a second.

Add to the doubled core set a t-47 airspeed and with upgrades I'm well into the 800 points required for a full game and I pick up some of the unique upgrades from the t-47 package.

the only upgrades I know I will be missing are the ones coming with the fleet troopers.

$120 is more affordable than I thought this game would be.

I mean, the price will go up a bit if you don't already have paints and glues, but yeah, it helps that upgrades and all required specially armed models are included in the kits.

So now you trip down the rabbit hole begins. Enjoy!!

Shoulda took the blue pill...

That sounds like something i said 2 40k armies ago before i got in xwing and armada... its a slippery slope.. lol

I have done the miniatures game thing before. Even spent a few years painting for commission on the side.

My main problem with legion was doubling up on the subjects I already have covered with Imperial Assault. But I’m guessing the scope of this game will be far more limited than IA

I’m honestly quite impressed with the value of the core set and posted this because I loved how cheap it was going to be.

the dice pack is the most annoying thing about the game but everything else is good enough that I don’t mind how they have it worked out.

Now the real question is when do they make Ewoks.

My god. At first i thought you mean my $128,800 Rebel army. Was already afraid how big this will be.

I thought the same thing and had to click on this. Smells like Clickbait :D jk

How many corps units can you have again? I've forgotten.
