Cherokee Open 2023 After Action Report

Cherokee Open 2023 was my first large Legion tournament and holy hell did I have a good time! I am definitely going next year. It's an easy drive for us, only about 2 hours from Knoxville. The venue was also great, the large convention hall area was excellent and the

Building a Battledeck for Legion is one of the most brain-melting things to do in the game. Each player must bring 4 Deployment, 4 Objective, and 4 Condition cards with every army. The Blue player is whose battle deck you use during a game. Players take turns voting on which

Asajj Ventress - First Thoughts!

Yesterday we got our first look at Asajj Ventress' Unit card and Command Cards and oh boy is she spicy! Her official release date is 3/17/23, only a month after Gideon and the Dark Troopers! I'm not going to go super in-depth here, I'll wait to do a

It's Raining Droids! - The Barracks

Dark Troopers have finally been revealed! This has been one of the most anticipated releases in a while. We've known the primary unit card for a long time but now we have the complete picture and boy are these guys frightening. I am looking forward to seeing these guys on

You Have Something I Want - The Barracks

The first piece of our first release under new rules is Moff Gideon himself! As a Rebel and Republic player I am scared out of my mind to see how Moff and Dark Troopers mix up the legion world, as a good friend of many Empire players and a Star

Mando is Back - The Barracks

I've been behind in my analysis on the new units coming out this fall, but as AMG starts revealing the remaining cards and units I'm going to hop back into it! So grab your beskar, do the little hand thing, and get your armor back from some Jawas, we're gonna

Programmed Punishment - CIS Heavies - The Barracks

With the recent battle force rules and the Persuader tank doing well at GenCon I felt it was necessary to look at the two Separatist heavies in the current meta. Heavies have come a long way since the AT-ST and T-47, and so by the time the AAT and now

BFG (Battle Force Gaming) - The War Room

So battle forces have been out for a month or so and we're starting to see them pop up in the tournament scene, so I thought I'd take a crack at what we may be seeing in the near future in terms of competitive battle force lists. Some of these

Cassian Said I Had To - The Barracks

With the release of a new Andor trailer today I figured there was no better time to revisit one of the Rebellion's greatest assets: Cassian Andor. This is a strong unit card, one of the first ones with native Tactical and one of two instances of Loadout. Let's dive deeper

The Game's Biggest Cheerleaders - Beggar's Canyon

Man the irony of me writing an article about burnout and then disappearing for a month isn't lost on me. It wasn't intentional though! Just a lot going on in life, all good, but I had to put this hobby on the side for a moment. AND BOY DID I

Burnout - Beggar's Canyon

This post is inspired by a recent Reddit thread that I felt was very insightful into the hobby of miniatures wargaming. Burnout is very real when it comes to a tabletop game. There are very few games that I have never gotten tired of, even if I'm only ever tired

Out of the Shadows - The Barracks

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the players" - Maul, a Rival Shadow Collective is finally here! After weeks and weeks of buildup we have hit the moment where we figured out what the battle force composition is for Shadow Collective, and it is a doozy! The basic trade

Roger Roger, Roger. - The War Room

So I hadn't played CIS before, but I had played against them so much it seemed so easy! I finally finished painting a CIS squad and brought it to a tournament (only four of us, so closer to a league night, but still) and had a blast. This is what

Kenobi's Custom Cards - Beggar's Canyon

Uh oh, Blaze is on it again. He's back with more custom cards! After my last article on custom cards, and with a wealth of time on my hands, I decided to make some cards related to Obi-Wan! Some are humorous, some serious, and some are just meant to be

It's approaching that time for Kenobi to drop on Disney+, and so in honor of that today we'll be taking a look at the galaxy's sexiest man, Obi-Wan himself!

Herohammer - The War Room

Herohammer is such a fun list archetype! I love getting to put iconic characters down on the board and letting them do their thing. If I had to define herohammer, it would be "a list with two or more 'hero' characters that are the crux of your list". Commonly this

Black Sun Rising - The Barracks

Steady... Steady... - The Barracks

For the longest time the rebels really only had one corps unit. Rebel Troopers at 40 points were just too good for what they wanted to accomplish. Their initial cost has been adjusted though, and they are now tied for cheapest, which feels right. I think that fleet troopers are

Dish or DirecTV? - The Barracks

u/NinjahDuk eat your heart out. I ranked the supports a few weeks ago and I put the rebels' 1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team at the very bottom. Then I saw a crazy list that ran three of them (and also had two landspeeders and three fleet troopers) that
