Switching gears a bit from the recent Star Wars strategy games, and refocusing on my RPG efforts. This week finally sees our return to live, in person gaming, a situation I have been waiting for for quite some time. Not only will this be my first GM’ing post-Covid with a life group, but it will also be the first time using my new basement and gaming space – something that a few others have already had the opportunity to do. This will also be my first opportunity to return to video archiving the game sessions, though I expect the effort…

If you have followed me for any time, you know I am big into the 3d printing hobby, with a Prusa i3MK3s FDM printer. I use it extensively, for pretty much anything quick that I need to either print or design. I have featured more than a few large builds, including terrain, star ships, and dungeon tiles. In the past, I have also tried to fine tune it for gaming miniatures, but honestly have never been satisfied. The level of tweaking and adjustments, and the print times involved, just make FDM impractical for fine detail at the scale needed for…

We managed to play the first couple of turns of our Legion game on Monday night, with my Separatist army vs my son’s revised Empire army. Mistakes were made, forces were killed, and thus far the game is a draw per the objectives. I am leaning towards an Empire victory by the end of the game. In round one, the Empire consolidated their forces, and lined up their numerous snipers. Iden Versio and several scout units fired repeatedly, wounding both Grievous and Dooku from long range. They also softened the nearby B1 battle droids. For the Separatists, I managed to…

Figured I would detail exactly what forces I have been fielding in the Star Wars Legion games, looking for any feedback or suggestions. As a newer player, I fully expect I am either using tactics poorly, or not fully understanding the options or mechanics. No doubt a lot is personal preference, but most of my current design was really based on model availability and ease of painting. Separatist Alliance – 800 pt army list, 8 Activations General Grievous (172 pts) Situational Awareness Count Dooku (213 pts) Force Choke, Force Reflexes, Fear 3x B1 Battle Droids (36 pts x3) 1x B2…

Set up for another round of Star Wars Legion, with my Separatist army (unmodified) going up against a revised Imperial Army. The battlefield is set, and the units deployed, and the forces are ready to start (as soon as we have time enough). On the field, we have a rather symmetrical field of forests (light cover), rivers (difficult terrain), and hills (hard cover). The center is dominated with a rocky bridge, and there are a number of river crossings. The trees are newly painted (but not done), and the river is freshly printed (and not painted at all). Still a…

With my newly painted army, I remembered to take a few pictures of our table and terrain during our first battle. Ended up forgetting to go further after the first couple of turns, but at least I got what I did. The scenario was Recover the Supplies, which really turned into “meatgrinder”, with both sides fighting to the last man. The droids moved in on the side, trying to take the center point against the Empire, with both forces deploying their heavy armor on opposite ends of the field. However, the droids were a big disorganized, and scattered, resulting in…

As posted before, I ended up being inspired to paint up my Separatist Army for the Star Wars: Legion game. After spending time generating and deciding on a 800 pt list, I acquired the necessary models, assembled, primed and ultimately painted the entire set. Fortunately, droids are fairly straightforward, total time was less than 2 weeks from start to finish, including several days of priming, painting, and basing the models. Following the painting, we have played two games with the force thus far, both resulting in a Separatist victory against Empire. Both were Recover the Supplies missions, against the same…

Have been inspired recently to paint my Separatist army for Star Wars Legion, after our last game. At the time, I opted to focus heavily on the Separatists, and went ahead and planned out an army. Since then, I have acquired all of the rest of the figures, assembled them, and am now working on steadily painting the set. For me, this is a major accomplishment – I used to play 40k and Fantasy Battle routinely with unpainted figures. Sadly Darth Maul is apparently sold out everywhere, so I ended up having to substitute in Count Dooku. Not my first…
