 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...

 FFG have dropped full spoilers for the upcoming Agent Kallus Commander expansion for Star Wars Legion. He is 90pts base but has an armament that cost 25pts. Six wounds with red defence, courage two and surge to critical. He has Cunning, Sharpshooter 1, Tactical 1, Flawed and Contingencies 2. Flawed has only been seen on Anakin up until now. Contingencies is new thing that Lando and Kallus have, it allows them to add a new pool of command cards outside of the command hand. These cards can be swapped in after command cards have been revealed by discarding the selected command card. You can only do this with a command card with the same number of pips. Both cards must be legal to play. You can not reveal and discard a command card for a defeated character for example. On the face of it Kallus seems like different take on Krennic with some keywords switched around however his armament sets him apart. Kallus has the option to wield a J-19 Bo-Rifle, a weapon he received from a Lasat Roy...

 AMG have had there first stream discussing Star Wars. Will Shick and Simone discussed the future of the Star Wars Miniature Games. They discussed how the delays from the lockdown will start effecting production timelines. In short expect delays for new product development especially since some of the transferring team have not made it over to AMG.  Then Simone discussed the reasons for the move including a deliberate focus on miniature games. This to me says that AMG wants to really focus on being the best miniatures company. Considering the talent that AMG assembled to create Marvel Crisis Protocol I am keen to see what they can do. The big take away from the first 20mins is no change to the fundamentals at this stage. The biggest change is all social media will come from AMG but articles will still post on the FFG website starting immediately and also lock in Wednesdays and Fridays to talk about Star Wars games on the AMG Twitch page. AMG is basically have a mini stream con...

 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...
