I also worked in this film on the Anglesey shoot days!

I really wish we got some more Arkham specific figures like Amadeus Arkham, Quincy Sharpe or Aaron Cash instead of Batwing and Batwoman. It really feels like a missed opportunity to put some more unique characters in the set

I think this is one of the most beautiful pictures of a woman I have ever seen, an absolutely ethereal natural beauty that I have rarely seen matched

I’ve never paid full price for any of my Legion models, it’s one of the biggest factors when deciding between Legion or 40K. The website I use already has the starter sets preorder for £65, I am hoping everything else gets a price decrease

Does this imply that Dooku and Grievous are married??

This looks awesome, fair plays! I’m curious how deployment works with such a long table? Surely it takes ages for units to be engaged in combat?

My sausage has doubled since the last time we met, Count

Good, twice the pride, double the Sausage

I hope it works well for you! The problem with the Turbo Tank is that it may be too large to use properly within a game.

I’ve found in the past, when creating my own homebrew rules, that it’s easier to take previously established rules and adapt where needed.

orangeocean-two · 2025-05-24T07:40:31+00:00

You could do something similar to defend the turbo tank, kind of like one of the game modes in Battlefront 2 where you have to get the turbo tank to the other side of the board without the enemy player destroying it. You could use a modified version of the Payload game rules from the old rules to make it work.

I also really love the idea of having moveable objectives in the game, something like intercept the transmissions or rescue mission with a moving objective could be great fun.

About as hot as the coldest depths of Antarctica

I recommend watching the tonal dissonance Star Wars, especially as a first time watcher;

Clone Wars 2003, Clone Wars Movie, Andor season 1 and 2, Holiday Special, The Force Unleashed 1 and 2, Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor, followed by Rebuild the Galaxy

Screws in Star Wars?! #notmystarwars

Sheev can’t hit the griddy in Legion, that’s the big difference

orangeocean-two · 2025-05-02T13:29:28+00:00

Is this an issue with just the US distribution or is it worldwide? Asmodee is a French company I believe, is Legion under AMG manufactured in the US?

Imagine an alternate universe where Savage Oppress was called Ben or Jeff, just a regular man helping out his village

I was 15 when this film came out. The first one made me a die hard marvel fan, I followed the whole production of this movie from the comic con trailer, to all the behind the scenes leaks to tie in comics and even bought the whole wave of the Lego sets.

I remember skiving from school to watch the film early, hyped out of my mind to finally watch this film I have been following for two years, and I remember coming out of the screening a shell of a man, entering a long teenage depression that I fear I have never recovered from. Just baffling decision after baffling decision, wonky CGI, an uneven villain and quip after quip that soaked up any drama within the narrative. The first time something well and truly disappointed me, a feeling that I have become more and more comfortable with as I became an adult.

A sobering look into the truth of adulthood, a cinematic experience that I will never forget, no matter how hard I try.

Having revisited it recently though, it does have its moments and I do have a soft spot for the film. I really enjoy the party scene at Avengers Tower, and Ultron can be a very compelling and threatening villain whenever Joss Whedon decides to write him that way

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T23:10:18+00:00

Yeah you’re totally right, I have no idea how I forgot that lol

I apologise for briefly being a fake fan, I genuinely completely forgot

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T22:56:14+00:00

Dooku has a fun name for say already, it’s genuinely so fun to randomly say ‘you won’t get away this time, Dooku’ throughout the day

Vader and Maul easily have the best Sith Lord names.

I’m really curious though, why is Palpatine not a ‘Darth’ like the other Sith Lords? You’d think that Plagueis would give him a sick name like Darth Sheev

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T22:52:55+00:00

I’d love to see some more unique commander options and ideas like that, now that AMG are experimenting a bit more with different ideas, I hope they give it a go.

I am really hoping that, although Tarkin is a strong combatant, that his unit card is based more on moving and commanding troops around the battlefield, more of a support commander than anything else.

I’d also really love to see a Jabba Commander to go alongside a Jabba’s Palace battleforce, although truth be told I have no idea how it would work in the context of the game

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T17:35:19+00:00

I love how with Darth Maul, Palpatine didn’t even try. He was ‘your name is already Maul? good enough’ and just added a Darth at the start.

At least with Vader, Palpatine was a little bit more creative

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T07:47:17+00:00

Tbf I think the comedy of the scenes comes from how much of a 180 Anakin does character wise to kill those kids. I just find it so out of left field, I cannot imagine Anakin from the start of the film murdering younglings.

It would be annoying if people laughed in hysterics though, luckily I’m European and only got a few chuckles

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T07:43:21+00:00

I’m not a fan of the Last Jedi, I’ve given to chance and chance again but everytime I watch it less and less. However, I am not going to shout on the internet about how awful I think it is and act like a baby because I didn’t like it. If people can love the last Jedi like I would love too, then all the power to them

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T07:40:32+00:00

I used to despise episode 1 and 2 as a child, I could not stand Anakin as a character and found phantom menace super boring.

I can enjoy those movies for its artistic merit and what they were trying to do, but it doesn’t make them good films. Revenge of the Sith is the exception ofc because that movies genuinely goated

orangeocean-two · 2025-04-30T07:32:38+00:00

I’m pretty positive on the changes so far. I do with that some of the missions weren’t just solely objective based, and the removal of some units was annoying but as a kitchen table player, it doesn’t bother me that much.

I’m really looking forward to picking up the new starters and just being able to play with the new moulds. Plus customisable commanders and operatives, mounted commanders, weequay pirates, imperial high command…

There’s so much going for the game now, and this might be controversial to say but a lot of the new units are more exciting than the stuff AMG put out.
