Thundercloud posted:Yeah, bounty hunters and scum would definitely get me picking this up. Each expansion has one or two cards that aren't in the core set, but they're the same across faction so like Stormtroopers and Rebel Troopers both have the same new cards, and so do the Speeder Bikes and AT-RTs. Digging around the extra cards don't seem that great, so they aren't giving me a ton of incentive to buy the standalone boxes at launch. They do have different poses, if you care about that. I think right now I'm ending up with 2 cores, Snowspeeder and AT-ST. The Empire list that lets you build isn't great, but I don't want to end up buying a ton of units at launch that end up never coming out of storage later, like happened with X-Wing.

Acebuckeye13 posted:One of the first things I bought when I got into X-Wing 4 1/2 years ago was 4 Y-Wings, and I still use all of them regularly. Yeah, I had a lot of A-Wings and Tie Interceptors taking up shelf space for a while. Ugleb posted:Personally I'd hesitate to double up on stuff too quickly. For one thing FFG are probably keeping higher stock levels of this in the pipeline as they expect high level of interest, plus as more releases come through the meta won't just be limited to the core box plus 3 other things per side for long. My problem right now is that, unless you want to load up with vehicles, it looks like you need around 4 or 5 units of troops per side in an 800 point game. To that end I'm getting 2 cores (also for the extra dice and templates and such), but the other route I was considering was just playing small until Snowtroopers and Fleet Troopers get released. They have a different enough niche from Stormtroopers/Rebel Troopers since they have more of an offensive focus, and I'm pretty sure most armies are going to want to run some mixture of the two. I need to look up a release date for the next wave of releases before I put down my preorder, if it's just like a month I might just go with a single core and focus on painting until they're out.

The clone wars set is going to get me playing this game, but I think I'll wait until there are more than two units out. I had some friends get burned with the original starter that way.

Ugleb posted:Burned how? Got bored from repitition or bought too many of the basic units at launch? Both, honestly. I think they went overboard trying to do big games from the start and then for a while all they had were the starters and the wave with Snowtroopers in it and they were very disappointed.

It sure would be nice if... basically anything was in stock anywhere. I didn't realize that one core set wouldn't even get me halfway to an army for the Imperials and I don't really want a second core since I don't see myself running 4 speeder bikes or 4 squads of stormtroopers.

I said come in! posted:So, I bought the Clone Wars Core Set but wanted to make sure, is there enough in that box for two people to play together? Or is there anything extra I might need, or want to add later on the two factions included? Looking forward to painting these figures as well. There's enough to play a skirmish mode game, but you don't have enough core units or points to play 800 v 800. https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/a2/7c/a27ca34a-465b-4210-8949-0436062d1064/star_wars_legion_skirmish.pdf

Yeah, I would say that by far the biggest con right now for separatists is that unless you get really lucky and find a box of B2s somewhere, the only units you're going to have access to are what comes in the core box + Dooku. The clone side of the core is pretty solid but they have the same problem of access to units. I think Droid tanks and Rex are still sorta easy to find. Separatists are also super spammy right now, so if you don't like the horde style they don't have much else to offer. The cons for the original core are that Speeder Bikes are pretty awful, but they'll do while you don't have anything else. There are plenty of things out to replace them with. The rebel side of the core is OK but doesn't make up much of an army, points-wise. They also have tons of available options.

Basically everything that's come out since you stopped playing is great. Shoretroopers were THE thing for a while, but they got nerfed a bit so they're not as must-take anymore. My favorite units to run that you don't have are probably scout troopers, since you can run a sniper team. The emperor and royal guard make for fun gimmick lists. edit: Since you have 4 squads of stormtroopers you probably want 1 or 2 stormtrooper upgrade sets, if you still want to run armies based around them.

Yeah, a lot of competitive ("competitive", considering very few people can play right now) Legion lists trend toward spamming the most effective units they can, which is why you get people saying you need to buy like 3 boxes of ARC Troopers or whatever. I'm not a fan but I do hope it'll change as more units come out. I picked up Anakin and Darth Maul yesterday, they're both fantastic models. No idea what kind of list to build around them, but they're super cool. long-ass nips Diane fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Dec 6, 2020 |

GreenBuckanneer posted:If I wanted to get this, mostly to do Jedi stuff or Mandalorian stuff, which one should I get? Rebels (the original core set) gets you Clan Wren, Sabine Wren, and Luke Skywalker. This is where all the Mandalorians are in the game at this point, but eventually there will be a Shadow Collective box that has late-era Darth Maul and his mandos. The box coming with the Empire also gives you Darth Vader and The Emperor. Republic (clone wars core set) gets you Obi Wan, Anakin and Yoda for Jedi, but no mandos. Some of the clones are aesthetically close. The starter box coming with Separatists lets you take Count Dooku, Darth Maul (from the phantom menace) and Grevious for jedi/lightsaber action.

GreenBuckanneer posted:So lets say I go rebels, and go halvsies on the core box, and go for rebels, and buy the max amount of Clan Wren, and a coworker goes for Imperial, what else would I need for a “full” team? You have to have minimum 3 "corps" units so you'd need either a 3rd unit of rebel troopers to compliment the 2 in the core set, rebel veterans or fleet troopers. After that just get whatever you want, I'd go with Sabine Wren and then whatever else you think looks cool and isn't in the same troop category as mandos (so no commandos, pathfinders or wookiies).

The Echo Base defenders box would be a good pickup for you, everything in that box is on your list of stuff to buy and you can make a pretty decent army out of it. I wouldn’t get the Wookiees or the fleet troopers unless you’re buying enough to spam them or you’re getting a speeder truck to transport them, otherwise it’s likely they’ll just get shot trying to get across the board.

I would not recommend getting the Crashed Escape Pod unless you just really like the terrain, the Echo Base set would be a much better way to get the characters out of it and a bunch of other stuff you want besides. The other boxes that come with scenarios (Vital Assets etc) would be a much higher priority for me since they have a big effect on gameplay, but you can always just print those cards off and use tokens for the objectives if you'd like to play with them without spending the cash.
