Star Wars Legion Battle Report Episode 120: Shadow Collective vs CIS

[@carloluigid2104]

I loved the slow camera pan up to Don and his crown right after his bugs got wiped out 28 minutes in. He's remarkably patient (at least on camera). Regenerate is one of those random things that make the game so "swingy" in a fun way, like the occasional Rebel Z6 shot from new players who get 5 hit/crits and think they've found the ultimate thing.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I’m glad my acting comes through cause I lose my mind sometimes haha

[@abbysalgods]

Lover seeing separatist lists, and an absolutely splendid paint job done

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@jordanvozenilek1092]

GG guys, it was nice to see the Geonosians doing their thing. I came up and said hi on Thursday and got a sticker I brought back to Iowa. I played a Bossk list a couple weeks ago and had him regenerate a bunch before getting run down by speeder bikes.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It was nice to meet all the viewers

[@orrinfreeman5672]

Respect for not intentionally drawing. I agree we shouldn't get on people who did, there was reason to, but I respect you for playing it out.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks! Just didn’t feel right for me to advance but I get why others did it. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@GrumbleGombol]

Your videos have helped me clarify and learn so much rules. Thanks and keep it coming.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We try!

Great scrap! Love the look of the Geos ^_^. Bossk's regenerate was the final straw lol

Love seeing those unique lists. Appreciate all you do!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We try to keep it fresh

[@CanistSyaoran]

Finally got my Shadow Collective together, and watching you guys play them makes me excited to get them to the table. Hopefully Bossk can regenerate half as good as you. Feel bad for Don. I know the frustration, but he takes it a lot better than I would. GG guys!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@nicholausszabala4268]

Loved meeting you guys in person at worlds! Hope you found a good home for that inferno squad sticker! Let’s regenerate and get to the next event!

We loved meeting all the viewers as well

[@Zeromus5555]

Bugs!!!! Grats on your showing at worlds, Joe! So close. Can't remember if I already said it on a past vid.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks! -Joe

[@jwaterdrag]

Did you know: many lizards can completely or partially regenerate a lost tail. Similarly some Bossks can completely or partially regenerate a lethal number of wounds.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Very true

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

[@ChaoticFrog123]

Congrats on the 8k subscribers! You have helped me as a new player with lots of rules, loving the salt and banter very much like my games. Regenerate FTW.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@343omen]

Love the paint job on the bugs Matt did a fantastic job. Every time I’ve played bosk that regeneration never does anything for me just blanks all around.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That’s how it usually works for me as well

[@boardgamer1017]

The black-sun are always so much fun to play against once they get into range 1, plus the regenerating Bossk. Thanks for the game it was entertaining to see the salt crown come out and "death from above" get some play.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Glad my pain entertains the masses -Don

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks as always for watching! -Joe

[@Zeromus5555]

@graysquadrongaming8670 Biggest thing I see you do too often is placing your guys in a position where Joe's can shoot them with multiple units. I'm not sure if it's just the excitement of shooting or what, but sometimes it's good to be patient. Joe is a great player, so maybe at the end of each game just ask him what he thinks you could have done differently. I know I'm always looking on ways to shoot units without being shot back.

[@Jaymz19702002]

I haven’t played Bossk yet, but it’s nice knowing he can regenerate up to three on his turn. Great job as always. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is a beast for sure

[@WaaaghPaint]

Been hoping for this - I am currently painting the Shadow Collective box set I got in an auction for $10 (finishing up the Maul-dos tonight) and wanted to see these guys in action. Freaking knocked one off my desk while drying and had him explode - luckily, he can regenerate.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Shadow is fun

[@humblesurvivor582]

Were those Black suns Prince Xizor's finest Black Suns? With the addition of regenerating Bossk, Shadow collective looked dangerously scary.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah black suns feel to good

[@thunderbound7800]

great episode as always. my regenerate rolls never do anything lol. thanks for the video.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@HishUnderscore]

The regenerate just felt like that extra kick to a man while he's down, poor Don.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That’s how it usually goes

[@teamvalenstorm9686]

I have a tournament coming up when I'm considering using a Gar Saxon/Cad Bane/Bossk list. I tend to roll poorly so there is no guarantee Bossk will ever regenerate, but the list seems like it could be a fun one. I'm also considering an Anakin list but we'll see what I go with in the end.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Good luck at your tournament and thanks for watching! -Joe

[@kylecampagna722]

Another great video guys!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks again! -Joe

[@jakebruner8925]

Now it makes sense why so many people were saying regenerating Bossk. Juat got back into Legion and loving all these vids with the new units.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@travisskane5459]

Always enjoy the recaps from the big Events. Yet another tough match to watch for #TeamDon, that regeneration was pouring salt into the wound. Also: Congrats on hitting 8K subs, you hardworking folks deserve all the recognition for featuring these games.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for everything

[@mythicgames7683]

That regeneration added just the right amount of salt at the end there

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

To much salt

[@killiandebrucker1447]

really nice match. so there was no bounty claimed today. even tough bosk tried to regenerate his health and cad to snipe his opposition. good match. thanks for the nice vid

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@jackmarshall5334]

It's awesome to see the Bugs in action - sun fac doing the Scooby Doo run away is always fun. I'm using Bossk for the first time next gsme, so hopefully I'll actually get regenerate to do some work for me

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah for sure haha

[@nickknackety]

In my games, I havent ever seen Bossk roll regenerate rolls that well! Great game as always!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He did work

[@ByronC900]

In Legion, you measure vehicle movement front to back like this? 11:40 Not front to front? That gives long vehicles way more movement. Is this the tournament standard?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Correct, this is the correct way to move theme by the rules. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@tyreselewislewis6863]

I didn't think Bosk's ability was that effective, I like the idea of him regenerating, while also bringing a bus to really make him and the other mercs untouchable.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah the regenerate can do work especially if you only have a few health left

[@Tw1tch93]

Forget regenerate, Don needs to rejuvenate his salty white dice rolls!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah for real

[@nickhartung6941]

Wheres that dice tray from?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

[@JamesWhite-jr9uy]

That first death from above shot was a real kick in the pants. Bossk's regeneration did not seem to help much either.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah for sure

[@joshuataylor7213]

I have really fallen in love with the Geo core unit - either naked or with the 5th trooper. Turns out 6 units with wings can be hard to fit on top of terrain for those DFA shots. Still working on a bug/bossk list I feel good about. Bossk's regenerate is just so much fun - maybe my favorite unique kw.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah the geo are fun

Great game as always, next time Don should use incendiary rounds, best way to prevent regeneration

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That does sound smart

bossk acted like a real lizard eating all those squishy bugs, Luckily for him they couldn't regenerate.

Poor Don,the dice have not been kind. Good on Joe for not Intentionally drawing to get into day 2 at worlds.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah we’re not fans of the intentional draw

[@loganmann2127]

Bossk is so fun to watch. Especially when he gets to regenerate.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is a value price for sure

[@brandonmiller3857]

Fun to watch Geo's do their thing, too bad the dice were not in Don's favor for the mid game. I do prefer Bossk over IG-88 for the Regenerate key word alone. It always seems to be a key swinging factor in my games with him. It can buy you 1-2 more shots with his weapon before he finally melts.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah bossk is also cheaper I believe

[@matthewgilson8187]

Your bossk makes better use of regenerate than mine does ... and I think that your quad laser cannon on the bus has better impact than mine as well ;). I don't think that the extra impact actually made a difference though.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

No but the black sun sure did

[@user-zx7os2cz7z]

[@Zeromus5555]

Sun Fac is actually trash. He's 30pt more than a 5 man bug squad. Throws 7 less dice. And all for an extra courage, a dodge turn 1 (as He's generally gonna be away playing the objective and not chilling near poggle) and surge to hit. I think he needs to be lowered to 65-70pt. As is, you can spend an additional 20pt and get Bossk, Cad or a Magna squad. He feels very untested to me. Just seems like an overcosted Speeder Bike. Seriously, put the 2 side by side and you'll see the similarities. 😅
