Rebel Goodstuff 2.6

I’m a new player after playing Warhammer. I grew up loving the IP, and decided to play the Rebels! I’m more of a collector but would like to learn to play as well.

I read up on the Fifth Trooper and got some of these units, and was going to try and put a list together to bring to my LGS so I can start learning to play.

I splurged a bit with the ongoing sales and bought:

  • Rebels versus Empire core set

  • Operative Luke

  • Leia, Han, Cassian Andor and his droid friend, and Jyn Erso

  • Rebel Trooper Upgrade Expansion, the one with 7 and upgrades

  • Rebel Commandos x 1

  • Rebel Specialists x 1

Admittedly most of this was rule of cool. They didn’t have any vehicles at my shop, so I will be infantry and hero heavy. Any suggestions on making a list with these, or anything to add to round it out?

So these are no value now?

I'm out of the loop, so I read the new Buyer's Guide from Fifth Trooper. I got this in a lot with some Rebel and Imp stuff. I don't have any Republic. Wanted to sell/trade these.

Supposedly these are useless/worthless?

List building and Theory crafting

Haven't played a game yet, but have most of the army and just need to paint it. Figured i'd put something together which seemed alright to me and see what anyone else thought of it.

This is by and large most of what my collection has to offer, besides the Vader's and Inquisitors I have.

Ewok Playstyle and General Rule Effects?

Can you make an army of entirely Ewoks? And what kind of playstyle do they have? New to the game so I don't really know any of how their mechanics work.

Have crits ever done two wounds?

For some odd reason, me and my friends have always been under the impression that crits do two wounds. But upon looking at the 2.6 rules, and even the older one from asmodee we've been wondering where the hell did we get the impression that crits did two wounds?

Is this some weird Mandela effect? We all could've sworn we read that in a rulebook somewhere

Question about standard rebel troopers units

I've come to realise that most upgrades aren't really useful on a standard rebel trooper unit. Which ones are essential? Is it worth it to bring a heavy gun on them with how squishy they are?

Any Rebel List Advice?

Just got into the hobby. Haven't played at the local game store yet, just with my brother. Any advice on how I can optimize my list? I also just bought the Wicket commander box!

Thank you!

Current State of Star Wars Legion

Hey Guys!

I am looking at getting into star wars legion, and I wanted to get a feel for the current state of the game. I have played x wing and armada in the past, and I have loved the thematic feel to star wars games. My table top experience has only been with Bolt Action which I have also enjoyed.

I am not to concerned with the rules and balance of the game as I will only be playing with friends and not competitively. I just don't want to get into another game only for massive changes or discontinuation. This happened to me with both x wing and armada. Will yall inform me of the general state of the game and the direction that it is ahead? Any other helpful information for a newbie would also be great!

Is Iden and Krennic a good combo?

I heard from around this reddit that the reason krennic is so good as a commander is because he's a great support commander. Does this apply well and synergize with Versio. Does he have any particularly crazy combos otherwise?

Where do you all have your mini’s painted?

I’m assuming most people do it themselves but I don’t think I would do well at all so I am wondering how to best go about having some painted and where to find someone to do it if I can’t. Idk if anyone can help but any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Help playing Rebels

I've been away from the Legion scene for about 2 years now and only recently played my first game with the new rework. I played mostly rebels and have a rather large collection of them, but am struggling to find a list I like to run and tinker around with. Any rebel experts out there willing to help me out wish different tricks and combos?

SWLegion news

New to the game and I'm curious what are some good sources for news on upcoming changes and units for SW Legion? Coming from League of Legends I'm used to there being a pretty lively news cycle.

In particular I'm curious about units that will be added or game mode changes. Any chance we will see more mandolorians added?

Can somebody help me with Republic? What units I should buy for better chance?

I played my first game with a buddy yesterday and he was very kind to teach me but I got stomped albeit had a blast. Just wanna know what I can do better? I play republic with Rex and Clone commander while he play grevious, magna guards gets a doge from grevious and AI free dodge every round makes him cancels 2 hits all the time? You can have 2 dodge token at the same time?And the ATT roll so many dice from upgrade, regular attack, and front canons (are upgrade one time used? Cus we use it every time) so my core unit basically dead every time he attacks. His ventress also deflect my attack back to me so I can’t do much attacking her either, I hurt myself more. And I can’t shoot his grevious with another unit when he’s next to one of my core unit.

Those are the units he used I have trouble with. Am I just playing incorrectly? I had Barc, Swamp speeder, and the rest are core units. Any tips on how to play republic?
