    Still haven’t played a game, and all my models are still gray except one

    I’m really looking forward to painting the rest though! I’ve got a huge backlog of Legion, 40k, and Fallout Wasteland Warfare minis to get through. The game looks fun too though IDK if I’ll ever have time to try it.

    Nice minis! Looking good. Got some too:

    Unfortunately me and my friends realized that we don’t like the gameplay of Legion at all, especially the focus on Hero units. I still love my rebels but I don’t think I will play them ever again. As for Shatterpoint, I will have to look up what that is. Haven’t followed any Legion news in a long while.

    Edit: Just had a look at Shatterpoint. No, it doesn’t seem like something I’d enjoy. Seems to me the focus will shift even more towards Hero/special units. I’d enjoy a game more with less special troops and more actual full scale war.

      Shatterpoint is a new, separate game from Legion.

      It’s uh…entirely hero focused. The scale is different as well, it’s 40mm like Marvel Crisis Protocol. Bigger minis, but fewer of them on a board and each mini looks to have more intricate stats and abilities, which again makes me think of MCP.

      I have a friend trying to get me into it but I’m like bruv, I JUST painted all these Legion models.

        I just had a quick look. Yea, that is unfortunately exactly the direction I dislike in core Legion already. I think it’s a fine direction for a spin off game though and has the potential to play better than Legion.

        What troops do you have? Because I had the feeling that the more troops I bought the less tactics I could employ and the less fun I had. We even build a small Tatooine space port and got really into making sure our minis were looking the best they could but we could never quite make the gameplay work out for us.

          I tend to buy the models I like first and then cobble together lists second. I’ve got scouts, speeder bikes, Vader, Boba Fett, and Stormtroopers.

              I mostly collect but I do play. 1 win, multiple losses. Only played a few Legion games since it’s not super popular at FLGS. Currently Marvel Crisis Protocol (which I do play) and Conquest (which I don’t play) are the current flavors of the month. Alongside the eternal Warhammer (which I am not touching the current edition of).
