So both boba fett and scout troopers on ffg upcoming as of tiday were changed to shipping.....yay

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ give scouts preview

Hurray!!!

we will probably get scout preview Friday or early next week. They don’t want to slow down the xwing hype train

I'll take a scout preview or a new unit announcement. Maybe a sweet new Heavy unit. Or an operative.

I think a new Heavy for each faction is next. Then we might be close to the Clone Wars armies so they might focus on those for a few months.

Keep in mind we haven't gotten the anouncement article for the specialists, so I wouldn't expect a new product anouncement fo a while unless another big event comes up.

I guess that puts them 2 weeks out. I would like a Scout Trooper preview as well, but how long before we get an article on the "Generic" forces we saw at GenCon? I am looking forward to support droids on both sides as well as those "Death Star Troopers" aka "Death Squad Commander". I have been wanting those guys since Imperial Assault came out and Pilots for both sides too.

I'm hoping for a new heavy announcement soon. Imperial troop carrier?

Rogue one occupier tank seems likely for Imperials. Rebels maybe Ewok gliders.

Ewok gliders would be cool as a heavy, but I would like a good heavy unit before we get a potentially mediocre one again

Are you crazy? Gliders are totally a Support unit. Catapults will be the Heavy for the future Ewok army.

Please no. I’m not an angry man, but the first time my stormtroopers get beaten by Ewoks, I am going to flip a table.

If we get ewok gliders before we get echo base troopers on tauntauns I will not be a happy man.

You know... Tauntauns are basically meat AT-RTs...

How are they gonna spec them so they're not duplicative and worse?

No ranged weapon other than the blaster... so would it be some crazy range 1 or melee attack? Sharp claws + Arsenal?

Give them speed 3, 4 hp with red defense, 60pts

No idea on the weapon though

They would be basically a cross between speeder bikes and the AT-RT. Multi-unit squad, high speed, no armor obviously but with red defense, I'd probably give them unhindered.

The weapons are indeed the biggest question. I like the idea of Arsenal with a good melee attack, possibly with A-300 rifles, though that might be too similar to the AT-RT.

Im not exactly raring to buy them....but I dont get the hate for Ewoks regards Legion.

They are part of one of the most impacting battles for the rebellion.

They would add a whole new dimension to the Legion game....surely variety is good?

Playing as imperials...fighting an Ewok/rebel force would bring a whole new style to the game surely?

Could be loads of new things introduced....literally off top of my head is an imperial force going from 1 long edge to the other and victory tot he ewoks/rebels if they can bring down the ATST before it gets to the far edge(maybe just some extra vps rather than a win). This would bring a new element to ATSTS and actually see them doing their stompy walk in stead of stood around.

So much scope for more fun in legion...honesty dont get the dislike.

With their speed...maybe Tauntauns could have the option of coming on from other table edges etc?

An infiltrate ability is a great idea. I think they should just have the rider's blaster and a melee attack and just be another relatively cheap Corps unit, no Arsenal or red die defense or anything crazy.

I think most of just have very long wish lists and for most people, ewoks are nowhere near the top of those lists. Heck, I was disappointed they choose to do wookies instead of a multi species rebel heavy trooper unit.

And those of us that actually want Ewoks were disappointed in Wookies instead of Ewoks.

Cheap and multi unit is an interesting angle - basically a support unit for Wookies.

I could see a scout 1 or even 2 over something new and possibly over powered like an infiltrate.

I can't see a red defense dice if AT-RTs get white, they may be marginally more nimble, but they're a big target that's easily spooked! I dunno maybe give them nimble?

Arsenal was just a suggestion to make their offensive capabilities worthwhile when all you have is the same wimpy blaster as an AT-RT. However if you do multi unit, you could even give the riders a special 'carbine' blaster and give each two dice which makes 4 dice and gives them something that's not totally useless as they close into charge range.

I know right? Me too! ?

Scout definitely seems like a good option, as they are scout units. I would say Scout 2 or maybe 3.

All vehicles so far have white defense with either Armor or a defensive ability (Cover 1 on speeder bikes). So white defense with surge and nimble would be reasonable, but I also think just a red defense with no surge and no ability is comparable.

I was originally thinking Speed 3, but I don't think they should be as fast as speeder bikes or the T-47. Maybe Speed 2 with Steady?

Also, I suggested the A-300 (the Rifle used by the AT-RT pilot) because it gets two dice: WW. However, I do think an A-300 Carbine could be interesting, maybe Range 2 with BW or even BB. Maybe crit surge so they can actually slightly threaten armor?

What specialists? We have every announcement for everything that is coming out by the end of this year.

Sort of a reverse of the original release of rotj. I will say, I have cone around on ewoks since battlefront did the ewok mode, but I still have so many other units I want to see first.
