Some Imperial Guard and Bossk
« on: May 13, 2020, 02:43:40 PM »
I don't know why I've never gamed Star Wars.  The story is interesting.  I loved it when I was a kid.  And they make some fantastic figures now.



The detail on the figures is fantastic.  The characters are great and it really gives you a chance to explore some of the stories of these neat looking aliens that never really got fleshed out in the films.





I bet this game gets a lot of kids started on the road to being miniature gamers.

Yeah the Legion core set is a good value. Super fun line of figures, though the rules are not what I prefer.

What don't you like about the rules?  I've only played them once on a demo table.  I didn't really get a good feel for them one way or the other in the one 20 minute long game.

It took me some time to get in to Legions as well, not sure why, I am a serious Star Wars fan and love wargaming, and yet, didnt get in to it until a few weeks ago really. But its super addictive! :)

Nice brushwork! I have liked Bossk since I was a kid.

Here are some Imperial Specialists and General Veers. 

Neat figures, nothing too special about any of them, but they look like what they are supposed to be.



I had the toy of the droid with all the arms.  I remember it had little things that came out of the bottom part.  I guess that is some kind of torture droid.

Top stuff, nostalgia boost right there. Bossk was an interesting chap who I wanted to find out more about when I was a kid. I do like the way Bounty Hunters are expanded in Clone Wars and obviously The Mandalorian.

And now the Boba Bunch.




These figures are pretty well done.  I'm not so keen on how they did the flight stands.  It seems like a little cast-in hole would have been better than the small attachment site but they have held together so far. 



It is nice to do something a little different from the GW and historical stuff I'm usually doing.  They went together easy and there was only one that wasn't completely intuitive in how you put it together.
