The way I described legion to my 40k friends is as such. The Clones=Space Marines in play style. The Empire=Imperial Guard but with better saves. The Rebel's=Tau. And the Droids as you said are the Nids.
@HollywoodWargaming3 жыл бұрын
Clones are absolutely the Marines, and CIS are more or less the Nids. However I think the empire is much more akin to the Tau in recent additions with rather middling gun line units that rely on buffs and some powerful special units. Rebels are a bit harder to pin down but I'd say maybe Genestealer Cult? Idk

@@Crizzly122 I think second sister would be better than ninth. Yeah, Kal could be cool, I imagine his little droid will be like Iden's little droid, but will have treat 1 capacity 2 or something instead of shielded. It would be nice to get some cheap budget Force users, around the cost of Iden. With the inquisitors, I think they should have Block instead of deflect cause it's definitely harder to redirect shots with the spinning blade, but maybe they also get agile 2 or nimble or something

The Rebels boring to paint??? I collect all 4 factions and think the Rebels are by far the most interesting to paint. At least if you want to keep it close to the movies etc. Empire, Republic and CIS all have so many monochromatic color schemes. White troopers, more white troopers, beige droids... But with the Rebels you can go crazy and they still fit into that Star Wars aesthetic. Good video otherwise, but I couldn't disagree more in that specific point.

@@sheepystopmotion7713 Yea, I painted my Phase 2 clones in different color shemes according to different Batallions.

An colorful ATST may look cool, but it won't give you the same Star Wars feeling like a classic grey one. For the Rebel Landspeeder it doesn't matter how crazy you paint it, it will always look fitting.

You say the Stormtrooper model looks bad and weird poses? Im a Separatist player to the heart but I feel the Stormtrooper models are beautifully portrayed. The lumbering armor won’t allow them to take dynamic poses and the detail is beautiful along with the shapes of the scultps. Also for those of you who want to field our beloved droids, despite what he says, some heroes do have synergies with the troops and all other units such as Count Dooku. Certain combinations of units and leaders can be devastating to your opponent. Such as Count Dooku with Magna Guards. That is a literal nuke headed towards the enemy army. Or swarms of troops with Dooku and an AAT Tank. Massive hitters that blow away your enemies army while your loyal troops mop up the mess.
