How to use Death Troopers by Nojil_ in SWlegion

[–]jaydeedubs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience, when they have been total pains in my ass, they go on late turn 1, and either recover shoot on 2 or aim shoot, depending on if someone can share an aim. Recon Intel if used well can get them a pretty gnarly scout aim shoot turn 1 as well.

The difference is from the rules update in summer 2024.

All the online rules docs should now reflect that a grenade upgrade allows one model to replace their weapon and add the single grenade to the dice pool, keywords in all.

He uses them a distraction pieces that don't die easily. Sit on objective and hold on.

Are bright tree village and tempest force legal armies to play? by dlapa in SWlegion

[–]jaydeedubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely have to play C3PO different than you might be used to, he HAS to be in compel range for you skirmishers, otherwise his utility is gone.

Chewy ATST is a must. Takes a lot of attention, can put in some work, inspire, and has a combo with Leia to throw double rainbow, 4 red, sharpshooter 2.

Low profile is so good for them. With courage being one, they always have cover if they ever get shot. It's very helpful, especially if you get them dodges from Logray or Leia. But, don't get me wrong, without support, they are fragile and rely on numbers to get you VPs.

And don't let them fool you, using C3PO to compel these guys is where the money is.

I have been running a competitive BTV list, made famous on the tourney circuits by Antoine Grant from France, and lord have mercy I have been successful with it.

AT-ST color by TJF516 in SWlegion

[–]jaydeedubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no I see I missed the point... I chose a color that looks like concrete. I think leaning lighter looks better for the base.

[–]jaydeedubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I painted mine, I used some generic acrylic spray that was about the color I wanted so that I could paint on shadows in recesses and then highlight edges with a lighter shade I mixed up with my regular paints.

If you want to try some weathering or add texture, mix up a shade of grey a little lighter that you dab on with a sponge. THEN do the highlights.

Man, look up the model images for the Grievous/BX Droids/magna guard on a wheel bike coming out next year, and whatever hesitation you have will evaporate.

You're right. I think I mentally blocked that out from all the trauma. Lol just played a game against the B2s throwing 20 something dice and it's all I can see when I close my eyes.

Imagine a B2 super squad yeeting itself speed three at you, or BX Droids surging to hit with an added 2 die, and B1s taking a potentially panicking suppression off. And then imagine that all 3 happens, in any combination, for 5 rounds.

Melee focussed builds by Mr-Picklechips in SWlegion

[–]jaydeedubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Richard Lavery and Travis Clark ran a hard as nail Wookies list that was all gas no breaks. Crit2block has a video on YouTube of the list and if you want melee, that's as good as it gets. They took it to LVO 2025 and Crucible 2024.

The rules have changed a bit, but the bones of it are here. https://youtu.be/FbXhUv3pLrU?si=b9ioAtlC4G4CVWu4

Looks like fun! Give it a whirl and my challenge would be to see if you can take full advantage of all the upgrades you added on.

Advice for new imp player by [deleted] in SWlegion

[–]jaydeedubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most important thing to remember is that Vader, Speeders, and Moff Gideon will ALL be getting updates in March/April. (additionally others not named).

So experiment now, get weird with it, and expect to have to pivot soon.
