Clone infantry would be largely uniform and split by support weapon access like missile launchers and rotary guns, and with veterancy, but also with ARC troopers, and Clone Commando squads; for vehicles they have speeders and swoop bikes, AT-TE, AT-OT, AT-RT, AT-AP, Juggernaut, Stun cannon, A7V artillery, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser; and Y Wing, V Wing, Torrent, ARC-170, Z-95, Aethersprite, Actis, and Republic gunships for flyers. These are things that all appeared in the prequel trilogy and/or the clone wars show CIS, Republic, Empire, Rebellion can all be separate factions.

bonds0097 posted:I guess Imperials mostly just get a bunch of variations of Stormtroopers though. Its not like that really matters in other games. If you play space marines in 40k you basically have: space marines, space marines with jetpacks, space marines with HUGE GLOVES, space marines with slightly bigger guns, ect ect.

With only 2 factions you probably need to ramp the variety in each up a bit though.

I'd just like some fuckin battle droids instead of people who seem to hate 15 year old movies enough to still actively not want any of the cool characters or aesthetic in their stormtrooper game; it's absolutely nuts I mean X-Wing had to dig into fuckin video games before they brought in prequel ships for some reason because nerds are so toxically moronic about three movies they haven't even seen since 1999 i'm just salty because a lot of dumbasses with disposable money are keeping companies with star war licenses from doing anything interesting with an entire half of the franchise with their endless whining, except for stuff for young people because that's the half they prefer

I think the X-Wing designers have said that they didn't do prequel stuff because they were consistently getting cool content from the other EU stuff and Rebels (they are big fans of the Rebels series)

If you really want to do this, do what everyone who pines for Scum Naboo Starfighters versus Empire Refit Vulture Droids does and just homebrew your poo poo. Just don't actually expect FFG to start throwing a bunch of Separatist and Republic starfighters into X-Wing anytime soon or think the reason they won't is because of some OT fanboy hate. With Legion though, there's no good reason to keep it just in the Civil War Era and not expand into Prequel territory.

Theres not enough poo poo in the prequels to support entire factions. Theres like what...2 types of battle droid and like 2 vehicles in AotC that may or may not even fit the scale. Ok cool wave 1 of a droid faction literally used everything seen on screen...then what? Its not like theres a ton of EU poo poo to pull from like x-wing. And if the game goes on for a few years you need a huge supply of stuff to pull from otherwise FFG has to just make up poo poo themselves which is a loving long, involved process that requires a bunch of disney back and forth. In xwings entire existence they made exactly 1 ship from scratch.

You're kidding right Because the game is shipping with Stormtroopers, of which there are maybe maybe a dozen if you stretch deep, deep into the EU to include like, minor helmet variations or like, entire models where the only difference is an orange shoulder patch Here are some droids using only the movies and Clone Wars cartoon, not even an exhaustive list http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_droid http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aqua_droid http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/B2_super_battle_droid http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/BX-series_droid_commando http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Demolition_droid http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DSD1_dwarf_spider_droid http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droideka http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/IG-100_MagnaGuard http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Octuptarra_combat_tri-droid from there you can add Geonosians, Night Sisters, Mandalorians you can add Maul, Grievous, Dooku, Asajj Ventress, etc etc I'd be far more worried about running out of canon GCW Empire stuff way way way before running out of droid stuff

I want to make sure that my Tatooine 3rd Stormtrooper Division model looks noticeably different from my Jedha 257th, because I'm playing a 5BBY-era army. Sure, Tarkin reformed the leftover divisions to what would later be the Jakku 5th Corps in 3ABY, but I want mine to be historically correct and the Tatooine veterans were known for their epaulettes.

I don't disagree with this. But we're talking tabletop wargames, not movies, and as such there's no reason not to dig into that particular well as opposed to continuing to mine the literal poo poo out of the corpse of the old EU, much of which is of equal or even lesser quality to the prequels.

The Hammerhead debuted in Knights of the Old Republic, so that also qualifies as a "made canon" and not a new introduction in Rebels.

In all fairness, the Hammerhead was 'reintroduced' into Rebels and then Rogue One, since Pablo Hildago mentioned that the corvette "was a nod to Knights of the Old Republic." *E* I'm not really looking to split hairs though, and I'll just say I am glad to see it 'cause it's a cool ship.

In many ways, the best setting would be post Endor - where Rebel troops are fighting to reform the Republic. No Vader, but more freedom with larger formations, and the Rebels are transitioning to a proper army. I kinda hope the Rebel's replacement covers this period, with the Rebels on the rise and the Empire falling.

Also yes, the Trade Federation aka CIS had heroes and leaders - General Grievous, Admiral Trench, Nute Gunray, Wat Tambor, Poggle the Lesser, Super Tactical Droid Kalani, Super Tactical Droid Kraken, TV-94, TX-20, OOM-9, B1-268. Plus, Dooku and Ventress if you want force users.
