A friend recently brought over his Legions minis that he’s been working on and we played a skirmish match.
The image linked is the setup from some time mid-game.
The matchup was Republic Clone Troopers (him) vs. CIS Droid Troopers (me). The Droids took it in the end, mostly due to General Grievous being an absolute truck.
I found the game a lot of fun to play. We’ve played a bunch of Fantasy Flight’s games - Runewars, X-wing, and Imperial Assault among them - and I’m starting to recognize a lot of common mechanics among their games. This was was relatively snappy and I enjoyed the command/activation mechanic.
Minis and terrain were painted by my friend, who is a much better painter than me, lol. I was really blown away by the ship in the center of the play area, which he kitbashed from this Zurg Mothership toy from the Lightyear movie:
That looks epic. Tell your friend they did a great job on those minis! I really like how immersive a fully painted tabletop game with terrain pieces is. Did the terrain come with the game, or is that homemade too?
Yeah the terrain really took the game to the next level.
I think he got the terrain from one of those online 3d print services, but I don’t remember for sure. It’s not fully homemade but he did paint it up to match the mat and I think he did some texturing as well.
