Star Wars Legion News Breakdown - Ministravaganza Recap - All the New Announcements and Spoilers!

[@gilbertorivas1017]

I’m so glad Geonosians didn’t get swept away with the mercenary rules because they were literally soldiers for the separatists. Also CLONE COMMANDOS AND CRAB DROIDS BABYYYYYYYY

[@keving82383]

Very excited for Geonosians. Definitely thought they'd be their own battleforce, but actually like that they slot right into the CIS

[@joshcoles1255]

Really pleased to see Clone commandos finally coming to Legion. Aso cool to see we’re getting updated sculpts for some of the older stuff. Personally I hope one day we get a new Ep3 Obi Wan that matches Anakin we currently have. Overall the news has really got me hyped to get back into Legion after a long time out!

[@briangiddens2811]

I never thought I would see Delta Squad again. Really good reveals all around, and thanks for hosting a watching party!

[@rhettdobson2426]

So glad you make these videos because I never would have had time to go through the whole livestream so thank you!

[@ScottB1775]

Glad to see that there are plans for Legion in the future. I was slightly worried that Shatterpoint would take it over. But it seems those fears are unfounded

[@jacobnestle3805]

Shame that Armada is being postponed though.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Geonosians seem pretty crazy. I think you could do a CIS melee skew pretty easily now. No idea how good it would be but it definitely will catch folks off guard

[@gilbertorivas1017]

Plus they finally have an affiliate corps unit that can’t be affected by ion 😂

[@Andrewc87563]

Appreciate the time you take to make these videos for us all

[@devyndiaz6001]

Great point about updated hard plastic sculpts being a great opportunity to show off improved painting skill for those of us who have been with the game since launch. Legion was my first miniatures game that I had to paint, so the quality difference between my first batch of stormtroopers and my shadow collective units is night and day.

[@andresacosta9282]

Glad to see the republic getting some new things. Can't wait to get them to play against my brother and cousin. Thanks for all these videos Crabbok.

[@theriddler2006]

I love recaps like this. Thanks, Crabbok!.I couldn't watch much due to life-things, so this helps so much!

[@acid-trip6922]

Thanks for compiling everything i missed the streams😊

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

Watching Revenge of the Sith last week, I was like, "wait, why aren't crab droids in Legion." Next thing I know, crab droids _and_ Clone Commandos!?" Nice.

[@AsgardMedic]

Still not happy about amg watering down the releases for legion because shatterpoint, but it's nice to see some new toys for it. Love the commandos, easily a must have

[@Raydrian]

Really looking forward to more GAR support! Would love to be able to run Mandolorians and Padawan Ahsoka in that army someday.

[@gilbertorivas1017]

Fr I was devastated when I found out REBELS were getting Ahsoka first?? Like who cares if GAR already has 3 Jedi I want MORE

[@GaNSiNaTeR]

The crab droids also were super prevalent in the episodes "The Citadel" and "Citadel Rescue" in Season 3 of the clone wars show. Where Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ashoka lead a handful of clones to break Jedi Master Even Piell and Tarkin out of a maximum security prison by freezing themselves in carbonite and having R2 unfreeze them once they were passed the scanners for the prison. That was such a good little mini arc.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

That is great, really happy to see new Legion love.

[@LazzaRuss]

🦀😍 Excited to see the stats on the crab droid! Keep up the good work dude.

[@cheneymoss6402]

Glad to see Legion is continuing to grow with so many exciting things in the pipeline. As you said during one of the live streams, the announcement of reworking old units into the hard plastic does tend to bode well for the longevity of the game.

[@connanufrijevas9813]

New versions of old units are a welcome sight indeed

[@viperseven1922]

thumps up after 3min 😉...because I do love your reports in general👍👍👍 carry on 😃😃😃

[@josephmoberly2109]

I do appreciate you breaking this down, thank you!

[@andrewlewis2123]

This was a very helpful breakdown, thanks for putting this together! As someone just getting into the game, I’m very excited for new molds of old units (especially since I missed out on special boxes like the Luke vs. Vader and Emperor), but I can also see why veteran players maybe aren’t as excited for a fourth Luke or Vader haha

[@Ch3f81]

I am soo excited for Special Operations to be coming out of Beta, with a whole heap of finalised card arts. I would have loved to see some more squads added to it like a true Wookie Squad, Ewoks, and Shadow Collective!

[@ScubaSteve2381]

In response to what you were talking about with the Imperial Range Troopers, Will Shick responded to comments about these being corps. He said something to the effect of these wouldn't be "empire's elite" as corps units. He didn't outright say it, but it seems like they will be special forces.

[@timalder8940]

Thanks for the info... still very new to SW Legion so finding your videos really helpful

[@BUChiAlpha]

The Geonosians look much better than I expected. I really appreciate that they are not a battle force. I'd like battle forces to remain the exception rather than the norm. That said, love the Wookiee Battle force.

[@Slate92]

Finally we needed these.

[@thomasgrellner-or1ti]

Thanks for doing this, it helps bunches on keeping up on everything. I also like using these models for different games.

[@mrl501]

Melee Wookiees and Magnaguards also count as corps for battle cards. That means you can use them for hostage exchange.

[@michaelcalabretta8158]

So glad to finally see clone commandos, and having an official delta squad spoiler is absolutely awesome.

[@immortalheretic1009]

Very exciting news. Although the Experimental Droids Battleforce may not be as thematic as others, the timing on this release is super awesome for a narrative campaign my group is planning. Thematically speaking I see it as a way of representing the Techno Union or other major corpos.

[@kalebdowell3510]

Commandos yes! I won’t have to 3D print them now they are an actual real unit!

[@johnnytsunami593]

Words cannot express how excited I am to get my hands on those clone commandos!

[@elbanditouk]

Thanks for all the updates!

[@lelouchhatake424]

So glad we are finally getting the Republic commandos!!!

[@timothydevoll12]

May the force be with you brother

[@rudypeeters8713]

Great wrapup for Legion, thx !!

[@cl0ak419]

I’m so excited for the Republic Commandos and Delta Squad! I grew up with Republic Commando on the Original xbox so I’m very eager to get them painted and fielded on the tabletop!

[@ChapterAncientWier]

I love your videos, I’m glad you condensed it all into one video. Do you think you’ll ever release any spec ops battle reports? If so who would you play???? Long love the empire!

[@RadicalLatias]

Super excited to see more factions like Geonosians coming. I am curious to see if we get others in the future. I know Gungans is one I see talked about, so we will have to wait and see though. I am just glad the game is still seeming to get plenty of support moving forward.

[@NickPotts-eq6go]

I'm so excited for more droid stuff! I was worried the well might be getting dry

[@AsgardMedic]

Also, just saw not long ago a warhammer 40k review from a few years back on your channel. Do you mind making a comparison video between legion and 40k? What could the 2 games "learn" from each other?

[@calebbarnhouse496]

I wouldn't say there is much they could learn from eachother, the main things they could is gw could learn that ripping people off is bad, and legion could learn that you shouldn't make 60 factions if you are only going to care about 1 of them

[@trentonjporter]

Looking forward to painting up more variety in the rebel army.

[@guilegustafson1459]

So excited for the clone commandos and re sculpts!

[@Maiotiger]

looking forward to all the new legion stuff

[@sea_triscuit7980]

Shout out to Crabbok for all he does for us!

[@Crabbok]

Awww thanks!

[@sea_triscuit7980]

@@Crabbok no sir, thank you!

[@Lorenzsidlo]

Geonosians look sick!

[@kingbonezai4925]

So excited for the Crab droid!

[@not_joshin3257]

Geonosians look pretty cool, but I’m super excited about those clone commandos!!

[@dochavok7010]

I’ve been wishing for Chirrut and Baze since I first saw them in Rogue One. Feels like a long shot of ever seeing them though. 😢

[@silentgravesasmr4584]

Wonder if the inquisitors will lead to other inquistor it’s units it would be nice to see some purge trooper. Sidenote it’s nice to see released older units in new posing and plastic

[@Shrackhyde]

Really like the inquisitors! Geonosians are also great! Thanks for the info!

[@silentgravesasmr4584]

I’m excited to finally see some organic Separatists tough I doubt we’ll get many more of those though, still a lovely addition I can’t wait to collect em though it is pretty funny ti see Peggie the lesser wonder if we’ll see them in shatterpoint at some point in the future. Crabs and Bugs an arthropod era ti the Sepretist it would seem

[@markhenderson6389]

Love all the new Rebel Commando and Imperial Stormtrooper variants!

[@nickhartung6941]

Anytime the game is expanding and giving army's new units and new ways to play is so exciting. Maybe one day they will move from 800 points to 1000

[@josephsiessmayer6458]

I highly doubt it but I really hope so! That would be so awesome.

[@dereks338]

Im so hyped for geonosians!! My separatist army is fully geonosian themed so to have them will fully complete my army vision

[@Isrephael1]

Great job! Thanks for doing this.

[@jeftroch1801]

I imagine how happy my brother is gonna' be with the geonosians. While I was hoping for the commando's for years now

[@sargentcoldcountry5276]

I am so glad to have clone commandos coming definitely my most requested unit

[@Pappa_Palpatine]

I like how they are making battleforces of existing units, doesn't make them a ton of money but it's great for the existing players. I love this and look forward to more. As always, I'm still waiting for any/all clone variants that we can get. Top unit on my wanted list- Clone Airborne troopers! They could be a nice fit to drop in using the existing "rapid reinforcements" rule and hold down a point.

[@justincase3469]

Glad to finally have some legion news.i am the most excited for the republic commandos and the Inquisitors since you can never have too many lightsabers in legion.

[@gregburger6404]

I want to build the ultimate kashyk army!! With this new battle force and the persuader tank- the battle of kashykk will be coming to a tabletop near you

[@kaiserspinnhelm7881]

Overall I am really happy with all the announcements, especially the Wookie Battleforce, Clone commandos, the crab droid and the Geonosians, but one thing bugs me: I feel like Poggle's 1 pip is very bad. Since he isn't immune to deflect his attack could totally backfire against Jedi. Also if he doesn't manage to kill the threat he is a sitting duck/bug.

[@henrikingholt9245]

Either shoot something that doesn’t have Deflect if your’re worried about it, or place him in position the turn before and then use his free jump 2 ability to get the heck outta dodge once he has attacked!

[@alanbyrne9972]

Living for Delta Squad❤❤. I have a lot of hope for the future if they're investing in new tooling for older product

[@shukilevyandbrookesheildsl2638]

Finally! Republic Commandos!

[@SonsOfGondor1]

I was talking to my son the other day about a Chirrut/Baze blister - it would be good if they came with Operative cards/tokens as well as Leader Heavy Weapon versions that could be taken on Rebel Pathfinders . . .

[@6O8gamer07]

Seeing that Geonosians are getting good love makes me so happy as a Separatist player. Cannot wait to add them to my army!

[@anthonyguz7414]

And just when I thought that my Republic army was complete.... they announced the Commandos... it took them long enough! I was planning on building a Empire army as well, think I'm gonna wait until they release the new storm troopers then!

[@kingbonezai4925]

Finally a Wookiee battle force! So glad they finally did this!

[@flewcrew2493]

Hyped for the geonosians and the THRID CORE UNIT FOR SEPPIES

[@javanpetersen4048]

I’m really looking forward to the geonosians gives some variety to the droids

[@marcoantoniosalazarmatamor9496]

Geonosians are an interesting design. Flying capable, all, obviously a glass cannon group. Would be nice to get both for Legion and as a proxy Vespid-esque group for One Page Rules armies. And here come the clones… quite the barrel of clones… and they are all awesome clones.

[@brain_13s]

What about Snips? GAR Ahsoka is at the top of my wishlist. I know they’ve mentioned she will be coming, but I’m surprised there is no news yet.

[@ASpooneyBard]

As an empire player (more of a collector really), those inquisitors look like fun. Going to need stats on those troops though. It's still a little weird that we don't have Tarfful. I feel like he's at least as iconic as some of the characters that we've had for years. I wonder if the new sculpts for Luke and Vader will be available separately, or if they're exclusive to a new starter. I feel like they could sell the model by itself as an "upgrade" maybe through their website or something. Or a box that just has the new sculpts and either no cards, or a couple of new command cards to sweeten the deal. Unlikely, but fun to wish for. That also opens up the possibility for multiple poses for each of the characters. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with that. These have been my scattered thoughts on the future of Legion.

[@Tyrannosaurus_Mechs]

Glad to see more Legion units in the pipeline!

[@steve6135]

Really looking forward to Commandos and I’m hopeful for the inquisitors. All we need is grand inquisitor to really flush that out.

[@binbontree259]

I have been waiting for geonosians, I’m so excited

[@agudarkshadow2418]

Will said in the closing stream where he finished painting the Range troopers that they are special forces.

[@Kwehthulhu]

So, so pumped for commandos. The whole reason I bought into Legion in the first place was hoping they’d eventually make them

[@kennethp1423]

I’ll be happy to see Baze and Chirriut too

[@captainunderdog]

Thanks for the update. I just got the soft plastic core set and I thought I was going to have to rebuy it! 2025 release is plenty of time to give this set a good run for its money.

[@joshuataylor7213]

Been playing with the new BF builds in TableTopAdmiral (shout out!), and really struggling to build anything i feel really good about. Really wish the other support options were available, especially given that DSD1s and STAPs were both present at the battle of Kashykk😔. The Kasykk defenders feel a little better, but there really isnt any reason to put the defenders in at all, IMO. I guess i just need to get them on the table. Glad for the new content, but would love competetive BFs for the factions not named "Imperials." Cant wait for that free jump and death from above. LET THE TALL, TIPPY TERRAIN BE SUMMONED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BIN ONCE MORE!!

[@danteg3198]

Thanks a lot for the recap!

[@Skady1]

I can't wait for the inquisitors to be released, but the fact that their inquisitorius card is only for those two characters makes me think they have no plans for other inquisitors in the future. Or they just change the card later? Second sister would be cool to have.

[@mattchristensen7271]

I'm so happy about the Wookies!

[@richardbudd3217]

I think the astromech in the rebel saboteurs is going to have some damage functionality against vehicles. Like an anti-repair keyword when in range 1.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

I really hope it's gonna be a detonating gonk droid stand in, rebels using them as a bomb is just really good world building, and it would make for interesting gameplay to have it

[@logandraper5608]

Hoping to get into Legion someday... Just waiting for Thrawn/the chiss

[@matthewhanks8831]

Republic Commandos will be awesome. It’s about time.

[@sea_triscuit7980]

When they showed them I almost cried haha then they showed the Crab Droid and that broke the dam...

[@Vokdor1]

I can't wait for this release! I love droids and I love wookies

[@benc8738]

Sooooooo glad the seps get a new core unit. They needed it badly. These arent amazing compared to clones, but a sep core without AI is gunna be a huge help for running hero-based lists. Call me crazy, but I sorta feel like they are a couple or three points too expensive. Only range 2, 4 units, no offensive surge. Fleet troopers are 40, and I think the abilities of Geos are great, I dont think its worth 5 points more. Still stoked for these.

[@solace019]

Glad I painted my clones in camo!

[@Ironbudha23]

I am super excited for Delta Squad! Now I just need Thrawn!!!

[@sleepsinleaves]

Finally getting around to watching the Clone Wars cartoon and wished there was a local Legion group.

[@CloneShockTrooper]

Thanks for the great news 🙂.................you did well !

[@taylorfisher-johnson5878]

I'm so excited for the Woolies!!!

[@Ant-Man95]

Thanks for the recap.

[@MithrandirAv]

With Geonosians, i hope we also get Jango Fett. Would love to run Dooku and Fett for a thematic battle

[@jakea6924]

Super excited for clone commandos

[@CaptainRoyalty]

I'm glad that they are finally adding Geonosians into legions so now I can have more than just droids in my separatists forces.
