Our first game of Star Wars Legion

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

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.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them. Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure, Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure, completly repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
