[@RagnarTheGrey]

I can imagine people going nuts with the clear acrylic on the shields, making all sorts of different colors etc etc

[@kamenridertheblueknight5313]

How do you do that?

[@RagnarTheGrey]

@@kamenridertheblueknight5313 there are people who tend to make custom pieces for these kinds of games. Additionally, one could *probably* figure out how to mold these on the sprue and make their own type of plastic version in things like a clear blue.

[@LordMacharius]

@@kamenridertheblueknight5313 clear candy paints work too, just put them over the plastic.

[@nicka.9057]

@@kamenridertheblueknight5313 there are also clear resin you could you use by making a mold or using a resin 3D printer.

[@JeffJuggernaut]

Just started with Legion a short while ago and bought my core set and first units about 2 months ago. I've been watching a bunch of your videos and had no idea you were local to Orlando! What a small world.

[@Kroby_]

I think the fact that you're able to place the blaster through one of the shields shows the detail and dedication put into these miniatures. The easy thing to do would have been to just make all the shields one solid piece, but adding that little extra piece of detail sells the whole thing.

[@joshuajordan3507]

So excited for these guys! I preordered mine so I look forward to using them in November....

[@ARCcommand]

Pre-ordered a set of these at the last minute, can't wait for them to come in!!!

[@tigernite646]

3:25 only a sith deals in absolutes

[@kamenridertheblueknight5313]

Can’t wait for the training upgrade that gives your unit Demoralize so I can combo that with the swords, and I call this upgrade, Terror Tactics!

[@petervonbleichert9688]

Yes, unboxings are back!

[@guyguy1403]

I dont even play legion, but commando droids are so badass

[@russdyer820]

Try humbrol maskol or liquid mask. It is used for clear parts on models such as aircraft canopies. Should work on the shields.

[@thegreyinitiate3680]

They’ve got the spindly droid body of the B1’s but with the easy of assembly that the B2’s have. I’m a fan. They did a good job with these ones.

[@theriddler2006]

I love those shields. These are gonna be so cool to see customized

[@Jakubeasy]

Absolutely favourite unite from the CW. Can't wait to assemble and paint this guys!

[@Thomasjbeach]

The clear shields are awesome. Great video as always showing off the models and going into how they play. These droids are gonna be fun.

[@MrKworks]

Argh, my local store is having trouble with the distributor! I have to wait a couple weeks for my preorder.

[@greenmachineminis206]

same here. they were supposed to get 9 they sent 7. I got shorted 2 units. Apparently Asmodee didn't make enough... again.

[@DrBanzai]

Vallejo makes a liquid mask product that you apply like paint; so you could assemble is, use the liquid mask, then prime the mini, detail, etc, then just peal it off :)

[@karlrebeck5307]

It blows me away that your FLGS can get it faster than the pre-order. Awesome video man!

[@NathanielBroombiz]

I pre-ordered 2 sets already, from a shop that is a bit cheaper, but kinda don't want to wait for shipping and may go to my local store tomorrow.

[@flimflam00]

I don’t even play legion but this commando set and the arc trooper set are totally enticing me into getting started

[@finnjames7438]

So many options in comparison to older sets, I may have to pick up 1 or 2 for painting purposes.

[@greenmachineminis206]

Unfortunately my FLGS was shorted their shipment so I was only able to get one of the three that I ordered until more come. Thanks Asmodee!

[@sulecen]

I wasn't expecting the shields. They are very cool.

[@Dumahlok]

I hope my 2 boxes arrives this weekend, so fed up with just b1's and droidekas

[@rockingmofo7850]

Lol same they just get destroyed so easily by clones 😂

[@greenmachineminis206]

no B2s?

[@Dumahlok]

Yeah, lets see how the BX droids do.

[@Dumahlok]

@@greenmachineminis206 Nope, impossible to find anywhere same with phase2 clones :(

[@greenmachineminis206]

@@Dumahlok Yeah the BX droids have fallen into the "if you didn't get at least one, you aren't getting any for awhile catagory.:

[@HALOLAMOREUX]

Hopefully the glue will not fog up the shields. Always had trouble with clear plastic.

[@andrewcook3983]

Or you could mask the shield parts before priming. There will be a good number of vids on YT that will step you through it I would think. Applying glue to a part of mini that is already painted can cause issues. And some glues can generate frosting on clear parts, not sure what they will do to the shields.

[@nathanjoslin3972]

These models are really detailed, I'm pretty impressed!

[@joeswift403]

Great looking minis, really surprised they didn't go with a ball and socket joint for the arms.

[@Broken777Arrow]

These are going to be such an awesome addition to my sep army! And thank u for that shield tip. I would've totally primed the acrylic xD

[@benquinnobi6461]

Really looking forward to getting these sometime, the models alone look incredible and they seem like fun to use

[@aydenhuennekens]

preorded my first set a bit back and am excited to get it. keep up the great videos

[@Ant-od1vj]

Can't wait for the 2 units I ordered to come in! Currently painting some B1s in a Republic Commando scheme but these will be next in line!

[@donut8483]

The droid commandos are so badass, like honestly, hands down my favorite droids

[@XylaOXO]

The BX droids were some of my favorites during the clone wars, too bad how they acted in the episode was usually hit or miss.

[@quintonneal2881]

Watching this after watching war-corgi get absolutely demolished by those dioxis mines. Def a sick play that I’m gonna have to try out haha

[@carterj7547]

Very cool! Can't wait to get my own.

[@odharrison23]

Can’t wait to get them!! My all time favorite battle droids!!

[@BaileyBecca]

Had to stop what I was doing to watch this. I preordered a box at my local game store but might have to order a second one after this video

[@thedjlexx7601]

They just delayed the droid commandoes and arc troopers by one month here in Norway...

[@AwSOMEKGAMES]

Just picked mine up today aswel

[@DenverZenn]

Are there both left and right sword carrying arms? I kinda want to make a dual wielding BX for the leader of my vibrosword squad. I think it'd look pretty cool.

[@thatblastedsamophlange]

Crabbok, if you want to use all the shields, would you consider trying to make a clone that has taken one off a defeated foe? purely thematic, but could be cool.

[@Broken777Arrow]

It's so cool that there's enough in the box for a full squad and a strike team

[@greenmachineminis206]

It's just like the Rebel Commandos and the Scout Troopers. These are a similar type of release.

[@Claymanfilms]

Has anyone asked for IG-100 Magnaguards, those would be awesome to play with General Grevious! Do you think those will be our next set of droids?

[@briandunbar4740]

So how is everyone going to run this Squad? I can't wait to get my pre order however we have just finished assembling the core set so do not have enough experience to see how to outfit them.

[@lucasyantz4210]

These models look so good

[@eikduff]

Can’t wait for the ARC unboxing

[@Deniz-dq2pq]

Ordered mine a couple of days ago, can't wait. And Padme with them, because my seperatists have significantly more stuff than my clones and it's getting out of hand xD

[@Ironbudha23]

Looks great. Worried that the shield frames may be too thin.

[@jordodrogo]

Definitely looks like easier assembly than the Marvel: Crisis Protocol minis I've been putting together

[@jabbathehutt1222]

Love your videos and streams! Keep it up!

[@ravensco]

ive got 2 boxes of these on pre-order with my FLGS, just hope the supplier doesn't let them down...again...

[@therealneal9980]

Man those look nice. Might have to pick up a box.

[@jroberts786]

Can’t wait to get these boys!

[@BlitzMekanika]

Thank you! I lost my instructions, and couldn’t find the pdf. 🙏🏻

[@rhasminiatures9409]

These shields are awesome!

[@darthunlucky8283]

These look so good!

[@kthlars]

Okay, those are pretty cool, almost enough to tempt me into running a separatists army... almost.. I wish there was a way to run reprogrammed droids with the clones now...

[@davidjarkeld2333]

Does Shield 2 apply to each trooper or the entire squad?

[@calebpearson2020]

Can’t wait to get them

[@erickenneth4436]

Those shields look amazing!

[@daxor483]

Love this droids !!

[@shaunscott4773]

I've been playing the RPG more lately and whenever I see AI: move / attack etc, I can't help but think just spend 2 strain and get another manover 😂. Great vid, the minis look fantastic! Thanks for the heads up about the shields and priming!

[@rodrigoqf92]

Very cool shields

[@leonardobrusco2282]

On Armada's predictions. It does not seem very fair to me that the Separatists have 2 ships with a large or medium base and the republican one with a large base and one with a small base. What do you think about that?

[@jasonmoreno8179]

I called in at my local game store to preorder them. Hopefully they get them tomorrow. I really don't want to deal with the Post Office.

[@griffinparks8042]

How do they make those shields!

[@miniaturemarine9236]

How are we gonna paint these?

[@rendred5442]

Hey crabbok are you going to review the revan lightsaber

[@c3pu333]

Made that mistake with the windshield on the rebel speeder.

[@jeanborges7201]

Shields are awesome 😎

[@thektorMK1]

I understand there’s a rush to get the video out quickly. With the options these guys come with it might’ve been worth it to assemble some more models. Was hoping to see the heavy weapons guys and the vibrosword wielders. Just my unsolicited advice.

[@Crabbok]

Understood. However I assure you I do indeed plan to complete their assembly someday!

[@generalsmite7167]

I haven’t got clone wars yet but I might just buy 1 unit of these

[@spacemanERAU]

So does it come with 7 minis so that you can run a full unit of both?

[@Crabbok]

Yes

[@VanillaSoup]

Wait. I thought these come out Friday! 😲

[@GHOSTDOG58]

Wow just came out and on sale already? Lol

[@OnlyP0P]

Can’t wait for the commando droids. And the arcs

[@isped8650]

Probably gonna get 2to have one with shields and the other with sowrds

[@FR8-TRAIN2429]

I am looking to see “What to buy first” for the Clone Wars 2020!

[@Alex-uw6vl]

I didn't realise they came with shields!

[@potatotoplacek7302]

This shields are awesome!

[@gilbertorivas1017]

The shields gave me hyped

[@sheepystopmotion7713]

The shields were used in the escape of the citadel

[@DoubleDepressoEspresso]

Really surprised by the colored shields and the ease of assembly. Compared to b1's...

[@eduardzavedei3726]

These look 🔥

[@matthewcouncell8170]

The shields are just the beginning hopefully

[@tomwalker7288]

those look awesome but im excited to get my arcs when they eventually make the way to me.

[@jonreyes587]

Man, I hope I can find some at my lfgs

[@nsing406]

Commando Droids are the best :D

[@SmoloTHEKloWn]

Head all together is the best part!

[@jorgeacsota2782]

Arc Troopers would be epic with paddle

[@MrRogue1974]

Love your vids

[@erichludwig2095]

It would be fun to mod a BX head onto a Clone Trooper body for an undercover look from the Clone Wars episode Rookies

[@MagnusOrkzyd]

My tip: just spray prime the frames with all of the parts still attached.

[@benjaminbailey595]

Those are sick!

[@i_am_stil_nameless.]

I'm kinda confused on how to enter that giveaway, so here' a comment😁

[@christopherpeery7436]

Just make sure you're subbed too

[@Araxel]

Need them! They are not my favourites in the CIS army. But still

[@2x4noah]

Looks sick

[@xombie7979]

i like these droids even if they are to blame for heavy

[@averyw2385]

I hope they end up as powerful in Legion as they are in The Clone Wars
