Legion - Imperial Specialists Unboxing and Review

Just got these Imperial Specialists in! I did initially mis-read the TREAT WOUND rule - a Restored Mini comes back with effectively one health remaining

[@anthonygarcia6229]

My favorite strategy is using Vader's "New Ways to motivate them" on royal guards, giving them 3 moves and essentially turning them into melee missiles >:-)

[@jacoballen8616]

My favorite strategy is to have fun. I got tired of X-Wing's "Play the meta" mentality, so I switched over to a game where every unit, even the overpriced ones, feel useful.

[@2011scuba]

Watching your legion videos always make me sad I have yet play haha I got 2 cores and all of wave 1 stuff at launch and have yet to play even 1 game. At that time my wife had her our first child, and 10 months later our 2nd one came. Two babies like that dont leave much time for playing haha.

[@Crabbok]

I initially mis-read the Treat Wound rules - new product made my brain run at half speed!

[@tomwilson1487]

My brain ping is high right now... Not good

[@adamhazen4212]

do you think we will ever get shore troopers? im starting to love these Legion videos. grr and i dont know what i want Armada or Legion lol. i saw you putting that driod together and was yelling at my screen to flip it lol

[@jamesjurewicz8357]

LOL so was I

[@Crabbok]

Ha ha! To be fair - brand new unspoiled product shows up at my door - I was a little fidgety!

[@adamhazen4212]

@@Crabbok i have been like that to. getting a new model and all thoughts go out the door becouse your happy

[@Longo556]

Shore troopers! I can’t wait. I think Death Troopers and the tank make it a real possibility - after they bring in more flavor. If beach troopers are corps, I’m wondering how they differentiate them from other corps? Deployment like path finders would be rad, but not sure they’re specialized enough.

[@adamhazen4212]

@@Longo556 yea i did see the deathtroopers i think im going to order myself some along with that tank. yea true but you never know really. i found a person on shapeway that makes some so if there the same size im just going to porxy them and use the rules for stormtroopers

[@timunderbakke8756]

My favorite strategy for Legion beyond having fun is “blitzkrieg” - I like having a heavy slam forward clearing a hole and having corps flood in behind them. Can’t wait to see the whole vid - this is the expansion I’ve been waiting for

[@CollinMAFilms]

Always love seeing new miniatures,

[@philippniemann8842]

I really don't like the ayn rand hair cut on the commander but the medical droid is the shit

[@TheWarwolf102]

Imperials, radical individualists they are

[@benjihuffine]

I play to have narration and fun. I use s soundboard for blasters and Vader.

[@Crabbok]

Awesome!

[@handbanana3763]

My favorite strategy is to get my opponent liquored up first before we play

[@webwayhobbies4336]

I like to try to set up area denial to get the job done. Fleet troopers and snipers! have not found a home for the bomb team yet.

[@BenSmithninjaben]

Ugh, I still haven't gotten to play as I'm working on the the paint right now, but I just want to collect all of these!

[@flipmoviemaker]

My copy of the core set just got delivered today!

[@pilot9004]

Haven't gotten into Legion yet...but I am interested!

[@sainbrian2]

Cool. I like the idea running 2 of the officers.

[@MasterJediDude]

This is a sweet set! I really dig these sculpts. I want to see some Imperial Naval Troopers now that we know they can get the helmets right.

[@Hepabytes]

Now we just need our regular Imperial Army models.

[@nikvernon4251]

I love this expansion! Like you I'm totally going to make myself an Imperial Commander stand-in. I might use Krennic's sculpt to do it though

[@epicknightgames9979]

Great video, I myself play for fun. Thanks for all your videos.

[@brendandm1511]

I'm waiting for the B1 battle droid to come out so I can field nothing but an entire army of B1 battledroids and nothing else

[@bronzesparrow8716]

I don’t like the sculpt of the Officer. It looks like Rose Tico in disguise. Maybe she’s a rebel Operative?😳

[@timunderbakke8756]

Bronze Sparrow going to paint mine as a blonde and absolutely rule that possibility out

[@GORDUNFREMUN]

Favorite strategy is tripple speeder bike!

[@megapizzadragon2397]

I always play fleet troopers and commando saboteur on urban maps. So good.

[@3ggh3ad]

kinda expecting an imperial probe droid in that pack

[@choassassin]

GR and CIS previews!!! Thanks for this video spoiler.

[@swordsman111982]

I have yet to start Legion. I am waiting for the Clone Wars

[@darrenbrear]

Awesome video and figure 👍

[@charlielara1578]

Very cool unboxing and I would like to see a Juno miniature

[@sebastiaandegroot350]

I consider buying this game but I don't know if I have the time to buildterrain and paint the miniatures to play it the way I want

[@OnlyP0P]

Love these videos! I love to run Han and Chewie with double AT-RTs

[@PharmaCellist]

lol beat FFG spoilers

[@Crabbok]

Yeah turns out they never even did an article on this one at all! Jeesh!

[@willgates3892]

Can’t wait to see what they bring in for the clone wars!

[@mr.tobjohn9877]

I dont have star wars legion, those things are realy expensive here in Norway...

[@lostspyder]

I really like just playing for fun -- playing cool units, etc.

[@gerbenvanessen]

i like to shoot things with lasers. i want this expansion.

[@soulfirez4270]

Or wack things with lasery swords lol .

[@Foxbat131]

Just pre-ordered from Amazon. Free shipping! Lol

[@justinchadima]

I actually don’t have a set in stone strategy, I play so much that I just try something new every time. However I do love running han and cheese in ATRTs or having mass infantry of ATRTs with flamethrowers😂

[@astubblefield6297]

I don’t play Legion, but these are really making me want to start.

[@CarusoDiplomat]

Strategy for legion is to have a balance between infantry and vehicles and strike hard

[@battlefieldcustoms873]

the people who say things like “well if you run that then according to the rules you can only use x-y-z” way to ruin the fun and thematic enjoyment. that raw mathematically yugioh 2002 mentality is ugly, no more of that crabbak it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of fans who enjoy the lore more then the garbage meta mentality

[@CokeDavidson]

What primer do you use on your minis?

[@nilsingvar7319]

So with the "Pinned Down" command card, correct me if I'm wrong, I can splitfire two AT-ST's at 4 different enemy units and knock out 4 order tokens?

[@sja7613]

My favourite strategy involves taking down enemy AT-STs as soon as possible. I like to keep the AT-ST busy by shooting at it with the AT-RT laser cannon from afar, using this distraction to manoeuvre two squads of rebel troopers with ion troopers close enough to keep its actions to a minimum, and escort Luke Skywalker up the battle field to deliver the finishing blow using Son of Skywalker!

[@xander8016]

Haven’t played yet because I’m still painting my stormtroopers (they are the first miniatures I’ve ever tried to paint) can’t wait till I play

[@familyofgamers777]

Honestly, we just play what we have and what we feel like playing. I do like heavy as much as possible.

[@pasewi]

Still kinda think better future proofing would be to just name it Heal instead of Treat. Force healing or something is possible especially with more Force users when they go to CW era.

[@DarkAutumnScribe]

I'm not considering Legion... I'm all in. But I still haven't gotten to play a real game yet... 😒 So my favorite stratagem is still in question.

[@Tikikai]

Just got Armada so I'm not going to be investing in Legion anytime soon. Also don't have the time to paint then. But hopefully one day I can.

[@samikoivisto7705]

Are those Imperial Army Troopers on the background of the Imperial Officer card?

[@reaperball6244]

Have fun

[@jasonkoier5996]

Not my favorite expansion. But at least Legion is getting new expansions unlike Armada.

[@tomthetoaster8004]

I havent started playing it but i am interested in getting into it. Any advice?

[@timunderbakke8756]

Papa Musk buy 2x core sets. Value per dollar is insane! Then go back and maybe sell the faction you don’t like or won’t use, to turn into the units that you want from expansions for the faction you’ll play

[@thegardenerofthetreeofwoe1001]

I’ve just ordered my first unit: scout troopers. With the empire had more interesting corps.

[@unclejoe3338]

The Gardener of the Tree of Woe awesome!

[@Kingofdragons117]

To be fair about the new one pips, if you have that comms relay you can pass the order to someone else right?

[@Oberkaptain]

I need to get 2 of these so I can run 2 of them as commanders. Also the 1 pip makes sense for operatives as well.

[@nancyleerollins7363]

Don't know why but I just always thought medical droids look cool

[@azeronbloodmoone5076]

my personal opinion rebels made out like bandits compare to imps with these cards.

[@FCCrewgar]

Pinned down is a super Han counter...that drawing fire card.....

[@stephenmiles6516]

Mass infantry is the way to go. So those are basically is HQ PLT lol

[@sil_mz6260]

my mum wont let me have the money to get star wars legion and i love the death troopers love vids

[@TheCjamez]

I haven’t played before but I’m interested and enjoy the videos

[@hayessquared5662]

My strategy.... lots of ATRT's with flamers :)

[@majesticpurplebiscuit4646]

I didn’t even know these came out. I thought they were a ways away.

[@TheWarwolf102]

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined

[@coumadin100]

Love both the droids. Very cool minis.

[@tomwilson1487]

Favourite strategy is panic and hope for the best

[@acesky1457]

Pinned down would be good against reckless diversion

[@kyseegers7069]

How did you get these so early? Great review anyways

[@Crabbok]

I preorder alot of Legion stuff from FFG directly. This time it shipped REALLY early!

[@Matadatz]

I can dig this! give us more command cards!

[@CharlesFennell]

Cannot say as of yet, still painting the core set

[@GeorgeyWashington]

Did you hear about the new speeders?

[@gordym714]

Lol the medical droid assembly.

[@adamk4662]

What happened to Destiny? is it dead?

[@jjtrombone369]

I love the imperial comm unit. I wish we could have a super cheap unit of Imperial Military Troopers that look like him. Just aesthetically it'd look great with Veers, AT-ST and some generic imperial trooper units.

[@alexellingsen5908]

I'm just now getting into legion

[@cheneymoss3432]

Nice video, really neat to see what the new Imperial Command Cards are. One thing about the 2-pip command card, it can be used to counter part of the effect of Han's Reckless Diversion, as if you pin that unit down and put its face up order token back into the pile, then other units no longer have to shoot at that unit as opposed to other units. Hard to say whether or not I have a favorite strategy for Legion right now, certainly having fun with the game though!

[@bold1066]

My current strategy is to paint... slowly painting my minis. I have really enjoyed getting back into the hobby aspect of a minis game. Looking forward to getting both boxes of specialists as they all look fun to paint!

[@bronzesparrow8716]

Glad you posted this. I was climbing the walls waiting for the article.😳Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😁

[@jeffreyforrester6525]

Thanks Crabbok, for providing us Imperials with a full reveal on this new unit. I'm so disappointed that Fantasy Flight could not be bothered to share another preview before release.

[@Longo556]

@Crabbok - Stoked about officers. Did anyone else notice the Imps fleet troopers on the card behind the officer? Wonder if it’s a nod to a future corps unit.

[@jeronimotamez9567]

I really want to buy legion now

[@StormtrooperYD]

my favorite strategy is to push Vader up the board quoting Vader the whole time and watching rebel troopers drop like flies :)

[@DoctorRobertKelso]

I’m looking forward to painting two different officers... one in black and one in starship grey uniforms!

[@rmccleish]

Medical droid does look cool.

[@apathy831]

Those are gonna be awesome

[@shaunscott4773]

I love the minis, I'll use them for this and the SWRPG. Really nice review though!

[@modelpainter]

I haven't even game yet I have had my core set for a year now and just finishing painting the models and basing my table

[@soulfirez4270]

Damn man , you can play un painted, When I got the game I played tons of unpainted games using all sorts of crap as terrain on the table , Kept playing as I started painting them all and kept playing when i went back basing them all properly lol ( still havent finished that yet ) . Dont let the fun slip by ( as much as I love painting and crafting ,playing the game is still more fun lol .

[@modelpainter]

@@soulfirez4270 I know mate I need to get my was in gear

[@TRLAuthor]

I totally need a paint guide for that officer - like, what color paint is good for the grey Imperial uniform?

[@piersenbarber4662]

I love your videos and I love Star Wars legion. And this new expansion is sick.

[@TheVipersbite]

lots of stormtroopers

[@justinchadima]

Great video!!!

[@clonecrusader]

i am glad to finally know what 3/4ths of the expansion actually does now

[@connorjones5512]

I want to play legion

[@CaptainSardine]

Can't wait to start playing, building my imperial army slowly

[@marcus8792]

Woohoo!

[@sebastianbaker521]

These look cool looking forward to the rebel unboxing

[@chriskurtz3266]

The officer does look great. Thanks for the preview

[@mattward5418]

Quicker than FFG there 😀👍

[@Battle-Islandgaming]

Imperial officer mini looks nothing like her card art

Wookies and irg's
