Our first game of Star Wars Legion

 After much painting, Imi and I got our first game of Legion today.

Close ups of the painting here! 

Imi was Rebels, I was Imperial, using the starter scenario and rules, so no special powers apart from Luke and Vader being combat monsters. Two squads each and a special weapon, Imi with an AT-RT, and me with two Speeder Bikes.

Everyone moves forwards, as does Imi's walker.

Heroes move to the centre to confront each other. Speeder bikes move across to threaten Imi's troopers, while the Stormtroopers lurk behind barricades.  Imi's walker fails to hit.

Speeders lay in the hurt on one squad, killing two squad members, but take a wound in response. The speeder bikes did not last much longer as she coordinated fire against them with two squads.

My second squad moves up to the centre barricade, to be met by Luke Skywalker. On the way they get shot at by the walker, which misses again! Luke cuts loose, and slices and dices two of the troopers down to pieces and blew away another trooper with fire. I could not damage the walker, it's armour bounced off every hit.

Vader moves up, slowly. He's a heavily armed and armoured tank, but moves very, very, slowly.  When he does go in, six red dice are pretty amazing!

After two turns of melee, Luke saves everything, but Vader fails! Imi polishes off the remaining trooper from this squad. An emphatic win for her.

A good first game, without the special rules, or scenarios. We probably got many many things wrong, but it was a real giggle. I need to get my snowtroopers and support weapons in play. Imi wants to try out her favourites of Jyn Urso, Cassian Andor and K2S0 too. She also has a unit of pathfinders, I'm scared.

Should be a great match up.

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
