Essen 2018

By naitsirk, in Star Wars: Legion

Hi guys!

Do you expect some news from essen this weekend? Perhaps the clone wars core box ? New vehicles? An ATAT like the armada's super stardestroyer?

Let's create a bit hype

Can’t wait for the news. Yes I hope we can build some hipe for it.

No. Fantasy Flight, as far as I know, never has an official presence at Spiel, only its German distribution partner. And they have no history of making any announcements there, only at Gen Con.

Turan the destroyer of hype.

Agreed

I was in essen 2017 and there was a huge ffg presence. They announced the atst and the speeder in essen and i played a few demos.

Based off previous announcements I sort of suspect if we see something it will be in two weeks at the earliest with them announcing the next expansion after the personal expansions, hopefully either a heavy unit wave pt 1 or Clone Wars stuff. Of those two though I suspect it will be the heavy wave with the Empire getting their next heavy and another commander or operative, though I'd love Imperial Pilots, with the following month bringing a rebel heavy option and another commander of operative, but again would love some Rebel Pilots too.

Pretty sure they said Clone Wars content was to first appear in X-Wing and then make its way to Legion. If we see any CW news out of Essen, I’d expect it to be for X-Wing.

My mistake, then! It does appear that's an anomaly, since the Web searching I did before posting showed year after year of posts asking about it and reporting FFG doesn't go to the convention - I had to search specifically for the AT-ST in 2017 to uncover pics.

IA was released at Essen too, if i remember correctly.

It seems that no news for legion this essen...?
