Savage Fighters

 AMG’s Twitter has dropped Wolverine and Sabretooth full character cards. 

Wolverine looks like a complete beast, Adamantium Slash a five dice attack with a wild bleed and pierce at range 2. That seems pretty good. The big one here is the Healing Factor. Being able to remove damage at the end of an activation two for Logan and one for Sabretooth. This is the first time we have seen this ability. I am not sure how good will it be but considering all of the unaffiliated damage reduction cards have been put on the restricted list you have to assume that it will be some use.
Adamantium Skeleton is a double edge sword. Logan counts as size three for throws and colliding which means that he can not be thrown by only a size two throw but when Logan hits he counts as size three aswell. The Best as What I Do is charge with Wilds counting as two successes for three power. Seems good. Oh and Immunity Stun
On his dazed side the only changes are gains immunity Stagger and Wild Rage with adds dice to his attacks but can no longer interact with or hold objectives tokens and goes from seven stamina to five.




Sabretooth, Victor Creed. Long move and an out of turn attack when attacked. Interesting interaction though both Untamed Force and Aggressive happen in same step so you can Aggressive can trigger advance small and see if you can hit the attacker. Claw Slash is exactly the same as Logan. Savage Predator is strength seven costing four power with a Wild and hit trigger for another attack. All I can say is he will attack alot. Only thing I can see as a weakness is his defence three across the board average. Six stamina on both sides with that healing factor. 

I can not wait to get these characters onto the board.

 O my god, finally we have the card for the merc with the mouth. We have seen his model for awhile now but I can not wait to get this model and paint him up. The biggest surprise for me was the 3 threat. I was sure that Deadpool was going to be a 4 threat. Deadpool has 4 stamina on his healthy side and 6 on his injured side, moves medium at size 2. His defences are 3 physical, 3 energy and 4 mystic. This is about normal for a 3 threat expect the extra one on the mystic. Deadpool's stab attack is range 2 strength 5 and costs no power but Deadpool gains power equal to damage dealt. So it is a staby strike. Strength 5 is nice for a 3 threat. Deadpool next attack is Bang it is range 4 strength 4 and 0 power and if a wild and hit is roll Bang, Bang goes off which is another attack against the same target and if this attack rolls wild and two hits Deadpool gets to make another bang attack against the same target. Deadpool has one more attack on his healthy side, Duodenum Poke it cost 3 p...

 FFG has revealed the Lando Commander and his many capes expansion for Star Wars Legion. I am going to start with the miniature, it looks like you get 2 heads and 3 different capes along with two poses. These is awesome and I don't know which way I will be building my Lando.  Lando comes in at 105pts with 6 health on a surging white defence. He also is courage 2 and surges to critical. Upgrade slots are command, training and gear. Nothing special so far but his unit keywords are were alot of the value for this character is. These are Contingencies 3, Covert Ops, Flawed, Sharpshooter 2 and Uncanny Luck. Lando's X-8 Night Sniper Pistol is range 3 red black Pierce 1.  Contingencies 3 allows Lando to place 3 command cards in a separate pile in addition to the normal command hand and these can be subbed in for the same pip card after revealing command cards by discarding the current card. For Lando this could actually be a down side because his flaw card interacts directly wit...

Joining the Rebellion

 At the end of 2020 and the reveal of Lando I decided to take the plunge into Rebels. I have not been interested in the Rebels play style especially during the rampaging of Tauntarns. I have looking in at the Rebels disinterested in the way they play. I am not saying that Rebels were at any point bad or boring to play, they just did not appeal to me. That is until the last points change and the reveal of Lando.  Lando's style both on the battlefield and off has peaked my interest, so much so I have been able to get hold of a bunch of Rebel troopers, 2 ATRTs and 2 units Commandos. I have also added some Mandalorian Resistance, 2 Rebel Trooper Upgrades, a Rebel Specialist Pack and Cassian Andor. This is a starting point but I need to get alot more to be completive.   I have played three games with Rebels so far (one skirmish and two 800pt games) The skirmish game was against Clones which I lost despite my opponent over extending with Rex and Phase twos trying to take t...
