We also got the “Veers triple bikes,” and “Veers AT-ST” archetypes, which showcased heavily in the first two major Legion convention tournaments… August 2018 – Gencon The Invader League Season 1 final, which occurred somewhere around this time, was a Rebel mirror of Wonder Twins vs. This archetype remained a staple of Rebel list building all the way through Worlds in June 2019 and was probably the longest running, most enduring Rebel archetype. The Rebel archetype known as “Wonder Twins” started to develop, fielding Leia and Luke at the same time in the same list. Players found they could fit a lot more beef into a list when they only had to pay 80-90 points for their commander instead of 160-200. Leia and Veers were the first “support commanders” available for the game, and they really opened up list building options. Rebel commanders had to wait an extra two whole weeks to get their hands on Leia and Fleets. People almost certainly don’t remember, but there was an unexplained delay with Leia and Fleets, who were supposed to release at the same time as Veers and Snows. This was actually a big deal, as previously we only had the three units in each core set to work with for each faction plus the heavies (Luke/Vader, Storms and Rebel Troopers, AT-RTs and Speeder Bikes, AT-ST and T-47). May 2018 – Veers, Leia, Fleet and Snows release, Invader Season 1 Not dissing 40k, or anything…Īnyway, I split a core set with friend Mike. A miniatures game can have alternating activations? An order system where you have to allocate orders to time sensitive units and adapt on the fly to bad pulls? Cover that actually matters? Flanking? Incredible. I did a demo game with Mike, and man, was I hooked on the mechanics.
Well, I still have a lot of 40k crap to paint… but hey, maybe I’ll give this thing a shot.
(not my cohost… I have a surprisingly large number of friends named Mike) started poking me about Legion. March 2018 – Legion launch weekendĪt this point I had become personally aware of Legion, though I hadn’t bought in yet. I was busily engrossed in Warhammer 40k, which I had been playing on and off for the better part of 20 years. I’ll be honest, at this time Legion wasn’t even on my radar.
