Unless you specifically like playing with big squares of ranked up olden folks with sharp things, or specifically like playing with teeny tiny toy vehicles, I sincerely believe Legion is the best miniatures game on store shelves right now. And I own a lot of them and have played more than I own.

Nothing wrong with a little Gaslands... now THAT is a cheap game I got into it when some coworkers introduced me because on a small scale it’s playable in a lunch hour and it’s premade to be multiplayer (more than 1vs1) supported. Now, if you go poke at Legion’s resource page you’ll see there’s this new season 3 “Deep Jungle” that was meant to be played on 3x3 with much less points. Got a coworker who’s going to give it a shot with me on lunch see if we can’t make it fit a lunch hour since it’s only 300 points and half the board size

I never liked video games either and they were huge when I was a kid. For me it was D6 Star Wars miniatures, which led the SW RPG, and which led to Battletech and 40k, which led to all the other GW games, which led to blah blah blah blah.

See someone else would call that and an old door "Garbage". Go forward and make more scenery from garbage!

Actually The door wasn’t garbage. I picked it up at Lowe’s a year back when Legion was announced this was for a birthday present and I got all the tools and material I needed. Wood glue Sand a gallon of black paint a sample of gray paint. Then I got to work making the board I told you I wasn’t raised on video games. but I have played them before at my cousins house. now I live up in Alaska but we have family down in Florida One time we were on vacation and I played Star Wars battlefront now I took some inspiration from the lava map. in the game and decided to put that on my board. so I started with wood glue now I took a brush I squirted wood glue on the board. this door is a little bigger than 3 x 6. so I marked off the extra 6 inches And then spread would glue all over the board after that. I took sand and I sprinkle it on Then I took the board and Shook Of all the excess sand. after that you let it dry for overnight then the next day you take your gallon of black paint and paint it with a roller i use a roller. When you roll it on to the sand it also seals all the sand. after that let it dry again and then take your gray paint. and you wipe it off on a paper towel so to get the least amount of paint on it. and then Drybrush the whole board with the gray. you’re technically done. I put lava streams using some basic acrylic paint first start with red and put some orange on top of the red and do the same thing with yellow then I add a finishing touch and take some Elmers clear glue and put that to make it look shiny. and about the XWing it actually looks like garbage. Because I scratched it up and put it on my board as a crashed XWing. now the board looks kind a dole even with the barricades in the crashed XWing. then I took some foam that I picked up at Lowe’s. then I cut it with a bread knife so I can make the base of a Rock formation and I glued a smaller piece on top of the big one. I waited For it to dry I did a whole batch and then I painted it with my leftover black. Then I dry brushed it Gray. So if Thinking I made everything out of garbage. no I did not most of the stuff I bought.

Thanks for all your support and I don’t go to school I’m homeschooled so I don’t have as many friends as you guys think. I really like. FFG community I know you’re great people and you help other people with questions about The rules and terrain building, I really like what everyone’s doing and I want FFG community too stay forever.

That’s all for now guys see you soon. ?

I’m driving to the store to pick up my rebel 1.4 laser turret.

If you're bored I'd love to see a picture of an assembled FD next to a trooper and a T-47. I can find out for myself tomorrow or Friday, but I'm curious and impatient. ?

It may not be assembled today. I think I’ll be using regular rebel troopers, not the snow troopers from this expansion with the turret.

The base is huge comparatively. I think they did this on purpose to increase the front arc range and justify the cost difference between this and the eWeb.

Yeah, I know it's the "Huge" base, the same as the T-47. From the pictures in the articles it doesn't look like the top of the FD is as tall as the flight stand for the T-47 though. It appears to be about twice the height of a Trooper mini, which puts it around 3" tall. I was just curious how tall it really is instead of my guesstimate.

I don't think it uses the huge base. It appears to be the big one (the same as the AT-RT) and the E-webs use the medium (same as the speeder bikes)

Thanks for the pic, they look a lot shorter than I was expecting

It’s the huge base. The AT-RT. Ashe is definitely smaller. It’s the same base as the T-47.

Given that they’re still listed as “late pre-order” that’s not a bad question. Did they send some early?

I was wondering the exact same thing. maybe they did send some early.?

Sent some? I just went to my store today and grabbed one off the shelf, sucks if you've pre-ordered and not got it.

From what I've heard from my FLGS, FFG deliveries usually occur on Wednesdays so the stores have the product available for sale at start of business on official release dates which is usually Thursdays.

I've gotten calls for my preorders confirming they arrive on a Wednesday but they do not allow pick up until Thursday so as to adhere to street dates set forth by FFG.

That may be how it’s supposed to be done. I’m not sure. My LGS posted it on social media. They made it public.

Those troopers are the stock ones but I do plant to use rebel troopers. That being said I’m still going to paint the the stock snow rebels that came with the package. I was also thinking of just using green stuff to make desert cloaks for the snow rebels and doing some head swaps. Not sure yet.
