Star Wars: Legion large scale FFG ground combat minis wargame

[Earther]

Interestingly, the partially visible ticket on the right hand side of the rebel commandos image, looks to read Not Final Product… so maybe they are painted prototypes specifically for GenCon?

Thanks, Earther.

Technology bad.  Fire bad.  Get off my lawn.

If the bases aren't integral to the figures (in the painting video, they aren't) you just need to swap them for a smaller size one. That would shave some height on them.

Having seen those photos and done a bit of reading around the place I think it is highly likely that I'll be buying into this. More than a little miffed the IA stuff will be out of scale but will almost certainly buy in nonetheless.

Bring on the Gungans!

There's an article about the new game over on the FFG blog. Pre-order link $89.95

I don't see scale mentioned, but I've only skimmed the article.

Depending on the figure some of the Legion stuff may be fine with IA. The more alien figures may not jar in the same way as directly comparing stormtroopers, for example.

Did no one else read that Big Luke link back on page 3 or 4? What the hell is that all about? I'd never heard about it before but it sounds like a drunken conversation. It also reminded me of the Father Ted 'these cows are far away' bit.

I see the set is up for release in Australia in December at the nice round price of AU$150. Discounted through some sellers to be a little cheaper at AU$135. I hope someone does some comparison pics between which of the IA figures are reasonably compatible before I nibble on this release.

US Prices are:
Core set (33 figs - Darth Vader, Luke, 14 stormtroopers, 14 rebel trooper plus Rebel AT-RT and 2 Imperial speeder bikes) $90
Imperial Speeder Bike expansion (2 speeder bikes) $25
Imperial Stormtroopers (7 figs) $25
AT-ST $50

Rebel AT-RT walker $25
Rebel Troopers (7 figs) $25
T-47 Airspeeder $35

I still wait until I see the final product to check the scale.
If the minis are really that big, like 36mm, I might pass this one.

[Elk101]

The size issue might not be that bad with some of the vehicles?

True, but as along time SW fan I already got these ...

I did not take any notice until you mentioned it and have just read it.
What a load of waffle, it seems some people have to find hidden meanings or conspiracies everywhere.
It reckon it is just a wind up to see if anyone will start taking it seriously.
Take this quote for example:

The activity of combing the original Star Wars trilogy for instances of Bigger Luke is known as Luking.


That HAS to be a wind up, surely.
 

[Daeothar]

No no no; this is a very serious theory. Also, I might add that the linked to article is out-dated, as proper Luking measurements are now done in YHE's (Yoda Height Equivalents), as there is also an ongoing debate about the obvious Yoda size differences between the wonderful prequels and outdated original trilogy...

Really; I troll you not...

Aren't you a little short for a Jedi Master?

[eilif]

Prices aren't too bad, but not good enough to tempt me to buy in.  It would frustrate me to no end to already have two Imperial Assault AT ST's and not be able to use them without buying another just to get the darn cards and tokens. 

That said, if my Adepticon swag bag comes with a Legion starter set the way it came with a runewars starter set  last year I might get reeled into this the same way I got reeled into Runewars.

Here's to hoping I guess...

I'm not really following this all that hard, but they have previewed a couple new packs of Imperials, a set of 7 snowtroopers and a General Veers to lead them. No rebels listed

Prices nominally $25 and $13 for each set.

I'm waiting on someone to get them and do a real size comparison so I can see if I want to throw the white armour into a Star Wars/Aliens mashup
