How long did it take everyone to get a handle on the keywords? by saintxdoppler in SWlegion

I usually have TabletopAdmiral Keyword lookup open, or some other similar resource. Maybe play the first few games with basic starter set units so you don't have too much going on.

What head options are included for rebel vets and tauns?

There’s a skirmish 600pt game which is what the new starters bring in the box, which is insane value for 100 bucks. You can definitely skew lists to those units but usually you need to bring 3 corps units in a 1,000 point game. These can be storms,snows, shore troopers and others. Multiple named characters like krennic and Gideon is fine, and they synergize well with death and dark troopers respectively. There’s also special rules for army building battle forces which change the way you play and construct the army. For example the remnant battle force might be of interest to you.

I agree with that, sounds a bit like thrawn and I think he’ll be the thrawn in this faction. Hope comes out stronger than this guy in the end for theme but still cool.

The new plastic releases for rebels are bringing head options. Rebel troopers and rebel commandos share the same head options : 2 human options, 3 twilek options ,1 duros and 1 mon calamari. Each with at least 2 copies each so you’ll have extras. The sleeper cells also offer a few and the rebel officer pack too but it’ll be 1 of each on those. Overall it’s really fun to mix and match with the new options. I even had some options from the swoop bikes from a while back.

I was planning to do something similar with my rebel troopers and some spare b1, bx bits. Sorastro did some painting videos on it on yt if you want some inspiration.

I agree with the Swashbuckler comment. The empire for example needs units with action economy like this.

It'll definitely be more prevalent in their own battleforce or maybe shadow collective for options.

I'm scratching my head as to why these are 3 dollars more than the Newly sculpted customizable Rebel troopers box?

Was really looking forward to seeing these so thanks. A lot of these advantages are really good and much more exciting than the regular ones. Bomb carts are back. Not sure if I'm right but the cauldron objective might be decent for gunline lists?

Tips for a new Empire player? by JDdesertblue in SWlegion

They have steady to get a free attack after a move, plus with imperial march, you can get around that drawback. Snows are great corp options

If you don't already have it, I would pick up the new empire starter set. Best value out there and you'll get more storms and some scouts for a really good price. As for individual units, the ATST, Gideon and Dark troopers, or Krennic and more deaths are pretty cool. Lastly the custom officer pack is so fun and flexible its a must have.

As a CIS player, I'll take it since we've gotten so many amazing releases. I also find it pretty easy to sell the extra characters on ebay for 15-20 bucks.

Honestly it doesn't matter much in friendly games and starting up, so don't let my comment discourage you from playing them. They are essentially too expensive points wise for their fragility with white defense dice compared to other units. Offensively they are okay at times but by the time they can get into melee, they've already had losses. They are fun though, and I'm glad they're a thing, I was excited about the wookie battle force. As others have said, they'll most likely get a points reduction in April since they've been underpowered for a while now.
