We wrap up our "Real Talk" Series on the important topic of Depression, talk about Krennic our lists and go into the weeds.
Yup. 3 core sets, plus 2 commanders and 2 operatives and probably Priority Supplies, will let you be competitive, and play two factions more or less indefinitely without boredom. Especially if you photocopy your equipment cards and stuff. Legion is insanely wallet friendly. Assuming no discounts that's $355 for two full sized armies. A tabletops worth of scenery is like $20 if you don't already have wargames. Paint and tools are maybe another $50 if you are new. You don't have to drop that $355 at once either, the buy-as-you-paint rule is important for budgeting. Even if you do go out and buy all that at once, it's still dirt cheap in the realm of grown up expenses. To be fair not all gamers ARE grown ups. But 2 each of core sets, commanders and operatives would almost do for indefinite fun, is only $240. Terrain could be scrounged for free, and I could probably squeeze $20 at a bigbox craft store (be sure to use their online coupons!) to paint all that stuff.
If you do get into the realm of buying your Legion stuff from discounted websites, it gets sickeningly inexpensive.
I don't think that's the correct use of the term "Luddites".
