Care to share some details as to why you would think so?

It’s stuck with the 1b 2w range 3 gun. Not good, even if it is 10 points cheaper than the rebels.

No it isn't. That's the driver's weapon, the hardpoint weapons are the same as the Rebel version, which can be seen on the build instructions.

Maybe it’s because it’s blurry, but that didn’t look like a weapon upgrade like the rebel card. And it doesn’t look like the driver is holding a rocket launcher. But maybe I’m wrong.

The stream told us everything we need to know. Luke said the heavy weapons are exactly the same.

Is it 55 or 65 points?

65

Did we get a look at the STAP cards at all in the stream?

Never mingle they’re on the imgur link just needed to “show more”

I wasn't sure since a lot of people are taking it as gospel elsewhere. I would like to see Umbarans as well (since they would make for interesting models to break up the sea of droids), but I would be surprised if they were released before Geonosians personally, since the bugs have the movie recognition.

I don't think Umbarans will show up before Geonosians. In fact, i believe the altter will show up alongside Gungans - both mini-factions for CIS and Republic, respectively

65 points for the ATRT is fine, it has Scout 1, a better base weapon and "different" surges.

Cheaper than 65 or better than this would have been a terrible case of powercreep, and we have enough of this in the game... I'm glad it's on par with the Rebel one.

How so? The melee weapon shown off was a heavy so the rest of the squad doesn't get access to it. It looked like dookie to me.

You're right, only the heavy weapon model gets the sword. But with an aim, the whole squad gets Pierce 1 in their pool, something some players have been saying is severely lacking in wookies.

I haven't seen the Mandalorian unit card, but it's possible they have 1 red as their melee attack. 6 red with Pierce 1 on the attack with a speed 3 unit (again assuming on the unit card) with red armor + surge and Impervious (with the ability to get immune pierce in melee) is a pretty powerful unit. You're pretty close to Jedi levels at that point.

They have to be really careful with a unit like this, it's going to be really strong. Super defensive with Impervious, probably Jump2, 8 points for the Jetpack Rockets giving them Blast and Impact...

The Beskad dude costs 28, so we can say that a Mandalorian is going to be... in the 18 points range? I'm not sure if the base unit is 4 or 3+heavy though.

I would be ok with this, as long as it was costed near Jedi levels. I mean, in the old lore way back Mandalorians were one of the few who could take on the Jedi, even if they ultimately lost (source: references to history in both clone wars and rebels).

So, as someone who has 3 armies of casual standing, this was an expensive announcement day. I was originally writing off some of the old era stuff to focus on republic, but I don’t think I can do that now that I’ve seen the sculpts.

1x clan wren, 1-2x inferno (depending on stat line of the generic unit), 2x RT because the new pose ability (instead of my original “meh I’ll proxy with my rebel ones”), 1-2x ARC, Padme..... and I still need to go back and grab the escape pod, plus Cassian + vital supplies.

(never mind the massive backlog of existing SKU).

I doubt they're gonna get red melee dice. I can see black for melee, then the sword trooper adds 2 red on top. So 4 black, 2 red with pierce seems ok

The Jetpack Rockets are one use, so whilst powerful will only ever happen once a game. Plus as they seem to be equipped with pistols the rockets mean they can contribute an early attack unlike most pistol equipped troops

I wouldn't be too surprised given that Death Troopers have a red die in melee for some reason.

Forgot about the deathtroopers melee.

I once put a low health Sabine into melee with a half strength unit of them, thinking they only rolled black dice and she'd be fairly safe. I was wrong

The mandos look great I'm just really disappointed that the majority of the squad uses the "Owl" style helmets/armour. Maybe its just me but I can't stand the design, I just hope we have some options to change the heads or I may just end up casting more classic style helmets/chests.

Based on Del Meeko they will show the symbol of the unit if it can be used on any on that type of unit.

You are not kidding. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt but how in the ever-loving ****-word did they not realize that would be super confusing?

Should have abbreviated it to ISF or something, if they had to use the in-universe official name for the units, as opposed to 'Special Forces' the rank.

Did they say anything about additional Mandolarian expansions? I was convinced I read something in Facebook about this about further Mando units, but didn't hear anything when I listened in YouTube.

They said somewhere else they that Mandalorian stuff would come to Legion at the end of the year (announcements at least )

To specify, they said there will be releases from The Mandalorian TV show, not Mandalorian stuff in general.

I mean that is just how they've represented female Mandalorian armor since Clone Wars at this point. I'm a little disappointed about there not being an alt helmet in there for Ursa since if you buy multiple she doesn't make as much sense to be there and is at least to me sort of a useless extra mini like how the Pathfinders have Bistan and Pao for the extra boxes they buy.

thats a fair point. I guess I was thinking about them in terms of just range 0-2 which isn't necessarily fair to the wookies.

And it does look like they maybe come with another heavy weapon? (The rifle?) Unless he’s just there for a bit of variety.
