FFG POST THEIR OFFICIAL LEGION RELEASE DATE & OVERVIEW OF THE IMPERIAL FORCES!

Fantasy Flight Games post an overview of The Imperial Forces of Wave One. The info in The Imperial March article is not much we did not already know but it is fun to see them talking about The Vader-Monster and just piling on the LEGION Articles in general.

FFG ALSO SNUCK IN THE OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE OF LEGION: MARCH 22!

"GET THE STOCKS PILED UP AND RELEASE WAVE ONE ALL AT ONCE!"

COLLECTION DIARY: JANUARY 2018

I have been meaning to get caught up on my beloved and somewhat neglected STAR BLAZERS - YAMATO 2199 Collection. I decided this month to get some of the big kits to start the new year off right! Now I have most of the models I want for my Great Imperial Garmillas Fleet!

I love Space Battleship Yamato so much, but the models are expensive and you get less bang for your buck per kit when you are trying to build an entire fleet game like ARMADA. I think we are going to start getting new models from the currant series so I have put some serious effort to getting the 2199 series in my Battle Parlor before a whole new collection is announced!

Happy Blazers Boss out!

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE LEGION REBEL FLEET TROOPERS!

After the horrid Leia (HEia) and wonderful Rebel Fleet Troopers expansion previews yesterday I had to try and find some better images of theses forthcoming models. I did not find anything for HEia but check these beautiful Fleet troopers!

Other info I just discovered this week; Leia and Fleet Troopers are actually listed as Q2, so FFG had the great idea to have five Imperial Expansions and only three Rebel Expansions for Wave One! Unless Veers and Snow Troopers are mistakenly listed as Q1...

KEEP IT TIGHT FFG... AND FIX UGLY HEia!

Amused Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS FINAL LEGION WAVE ONE EXPANSIONS: LEIA AND REBEL FLEET TROOPERS!

FFG has started STAR WARS: LEGION Wave Two with the first expansions preview! Check the Leia Commander in the Inspire Rebellion article and the Fleet Troopers in the Defend The Fleet article!

We knew that Wave One was going to be comprised of Ten Expansions since Veers and the Snowtroopers got previewed last month. Some of us have had a little bit of fun nervousness since then wondering just what The Rebels would be getting to even things out with Expansions Nine and Ten. I think most of us are very happy to see Princess Leia and some of our favorite Rebel Troopers... now we can relax and wait for all of this goodness to be released. I am going to have fun improving Leia Organa with some sculpting work... 

Today's preview articles are obviously reactions to the weekends spoilers of both of these expansions. I hope that Fantasy Flight Games does not continue to rush this project. Slow down and do it right gang!!! These skimpy articles just annoy us.

Legionnaire Rebel Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS THE LEGION STORMTROOPERS EXPANSION!

FFG has previewed The Stormtroopers and I love them even more now!
Checkout the coolness in the Imperial Legions article!

I have always loved these guys and I am going to have a whole lot of them. Some people have commented that the stock trooper here is kinda weak, and with their white attack dice are virtually useless. I do not agree. These are the guys that you get into some hard cover and lock down an objective. In time these wonderfully useful core units of the Empire will shine on our tables... The Imperial Glory shall not be denied!!!

The base Stormtrooper is good enough, and leaves plenty of room for The Special Forces to shine in their own way too!

Happy Imperial Legionnaire Boss out!

THE STAR WARS: LEGION AT-ST PARTS LAYOUT REVEALED!

Our internet Star-family have spoiled the Leia and Rebel Fleet Troop Expansions this week and now I find a nice layout of the forthcoming AT-ST Expansion floating around too!

I am very happy to see that the model is going to be easy to pose and magnetize for ease of storage and transportation! From what I can see there is no open hatch on top however; but that can be fixed for those of us who want our hero commanders popped up out of the hatch!

ARTIST UNKNOWN

I am going to be very entertained by the pair of AT-ST I will have... soon! You guys know you are going to buy two of these badass babies too... admit it Star Brothers!

Happy Impstire Boss out!

SPOILER IMAGES OF LEGION EXPANSIONS NINE AND TEN... YAH!

Princess Leia and Rebel Fleet Troopers are The STAR WARS: LEGION Expansions Nine and Ten!!!

It's a small world after all...

Happy Rebel Legionnaire Boss out!

BOW STAR WARS: LEGION AT ADEPTICON 2018 VIDEO!

Thanks to the BOW Crew for sharing this! I recommend watching the entire video if you care about the event, you will get a lot of info... however I am more interested in what BOW said in their STAR WARS: LEGION segment.

This is a fun and informative talk, but we like this portion of it best for the FFG talk about the coolness still to come for LEGION! We can expect a lot of great things in 2018; like CHARACTERS, VEHICLES, and SPECIAL UNITS! The FFG fellow made it a point to say HARD Plastic... for the worriers... lol!

Happy Legioner Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS THE T-47 AIRSPEEDER EXPANSION!

FFG is gearing up for the release... and it is fun to see all of these previews! Fantasy Flight made a nice weekend with the AT-ST Preview, and now they are keeping it cool by starting the week with the Scramble Airspeeders article!

Now that I see the magic paper goodies... I love this little badass Airspeeder! I did not expect the T-47 to be this strong in the game! The extra options from the weapons hardpoint is just great. 

Happy Rebel Legioner Boss out!

FFG PREVIEWS THE AT-ST EXPANSION!

FFG rocked this Friday with the AT-ST Expansion preview article and a nice scale comparison image which they posted on their sneaky (LOL!) Twitter account. Checkout the Imperial Glory in the Massive Destruction article... WOW!

You BAMF You!

Go Fantasy Flight... GOooo!!!

Happy Impstir Legioner Boss out!

STAR WARS: LEGION FFG ART AND POSSIBLE MODELS...?

Back in the day I called a few models correctly based on FFG Art and common sense speculation for The STAR WARS X-WING Game. Now that LEGION is all shiny and cool and new I am in the mood to see if I can call a few possible models for this wonderful large scale game.

We all know that FFG wants to compete with GW's 40K. I can see a nice clunky but lovable and badass CR-25 Troop Transport coming for the STAR WARS: LEGION game this year. Think Thunderhawks... in Star Wars. If GW can do this kind of game enhancing model then there is no reason why Fantasy Flight can't make it happen!

I feel like this type of Huge Expansion could fit into Legion perfectly and be less difficult to package than a AT-AT Expansion. It is going to be fun to see what happens with STAR WARS: LEGION this year!

FFG PREVIEWS THE LEGION GAME MECHANIC: BATTLEFIELD SETUP

FFG is doing a fine job of presenting us with a slow-burn towards the early 2018 releases of STAR WARS: LEGION. Checkout the Game Mechanic: Battlefield Setup in the Battlefield Recon article.

This is all looking like a fun way to get the randomness into a game that could get stale if you setup each battlefield in a more traditional way. This all supports that RPG'ish element again that I am loving about the game!

FFG PREVIEWS THE LEGION GAME MECHANIC: COMBAT

FFG is doing a fine job of presenting us with a slow-burn towards the early 2018 releases of STAR WARS: LEGION. Checkout the Game Mechanic: Combat in the Pitched Battle article!

This game is going to play nice and smooth, and reward an RPG'ish story driven style!

BOSS SHOP: STAR WARS: LEGION - TERRAIN PROJECT PREVIEW

I can get started... after three months of collecting the cool stuff to build serious game environments.

I am going to proceed with this themed terrain project by focusing on the three Boss Shop Factions and their unique environments. I am starting with The Cartel of Jo'Bos'Ka The Hutt which is basically the city featured in The Star Wars Land video, then my Techno Mutants and Wasteland Scaves.

Most of the terrain I am going to build in this initial series will be featured on the Urban Wasteland mat from DeepCut Studios. I will be doing a greener series too, but for now I want to play in The Spooky Outer Reaches.
