I'd like to see Acklay as a creature unit.
Keep the flip or pass, it's fun to see the thinking behind what you keep or pass
Thanks for watching
As someone who found these battle report looking for a way to learn more about the game, having flip or pass and explanations for decisions is great! It's nice to see how other people look at the game.
For creature troopers, something for CIS or GAR would be great ideal. It would be a bit to big but I want a rampaging Zillo beast for the battle field
Welcome to the game
I think it's helpful to see the flips to get a better understanding of how you think your lists match up against certain objectives and advantages. As someone who hasn't had the time to get many reps in with the new rules, it's very nice to try and get some useful knowledge about how they interact!
That makes perfect sense and don’t worry we will continue to do it. Thanks.
-Joe
I enjoy how you go over the battle setup for explanation. Enjoying the battle reports
Thanks for watching
Nice to see the salt king back! Please keep the turn zero flip or pass. It’s always nice to see the way players make their decisions. Helps us all learn.
We will
I was under the impression that flip or pass was eternal (it even has its own theme song) along with “Star Tours?!?!?” so not seeing it would be unsettling. Obviously a Rancor would be awesome but I personally think it would be kewl if a Sarlacc pit was in the game as a objective or as a battlefield expansion (kinda like crashed x-wing expansion) a Krayt dragon would be awesome too! Great video as always guys congrats on all the success this channel has seen as it is well earned and deserved. Also shoutout to J^2 for all the success as well.
Thanks and thanks1
Flip or pass for the win!!!
Speeder units need some love. They should have Cover 2 built in. Cover 1 is awful now. Also, Airspeeders should have armor 4. They're super overcosted.
Yeah they do feel over costed with how cover works now
I love watching the flips
Thanks for watching!
-Joe
Kaadu would be cool for gungans and banthas would be awesome for tusken raiders. With the new mount characters, I’d love to see Boba riding the rancor as a creature too!
Thanks for watching
For creature troopers, Twilek blurrg riders would be a cool unit for both Republic and rebel lists.
That would be cool. Thanks!
-Joe
Its really nice how you guys explain every aspect of the game. because all the games are different, when we can see every step you take, its more easy to understand all the difficult parts of the game. so keep the flip or pass. well there is maybe some magic in this world... do you have a weakness now?
Thank you very much!
-Joe
Good watch. And I would like to sees Tuskan Raiders on Banthas.
That would be fun
I'd like to see Geonisians on a Nexu as a creature unit. Or maybe Paploo on a Speeder Bike. And I do like flip or pass. It's good to see the thought in that phase. And for the defensive dewback: William Perry. You know why.
Thanks for watching!
-Joe
The thing I want that is most likely going to be added in the future is a rancor but the other creature I would love is a kowakian monkey lizard. Even if it’s just decoration for a base
Haha those are good ones
Please keep flip and pass❤ is always fun part. As creature trooper maybe creepy spiders from rebels as neutral enemies spawned as advantage card.
Thanks for watching
100% keep doing flip or pass!
Thanks for watching
That was a rough game this go around but still entertaining. Flip or pass is a staple and would feel a little weird if it disappeared. I think a cool creature unit they could add could be a Rancor rider or tamer. It could be a mercenary unit so they could beef up shadow collective or any army.
Also looking forward to the Riot Troopers and Sleeper Cell units when they debut in the near future. That and all the new shatterpoint units. Keep up the great work guys!
Yeah for sure
Definitely like hearing the thought process that goes into Flip or Pass
And we for sure need Obiwan, Anakin and Padme riding the animals from the Geonosis arena
Will do
That would be cool
If the rumors are true that the Gungans are coming to Legion, the Kaadu are a must-have for that faction. Old Obi-wan riding an Eopie would be dope too... XD
That sounds good
Definitely would like to see some gungans, with their Calvary and portable shield generators
Yeah that would be interesting
Flip or pass is good. You scored on bring them to heel in round 1 but it only starts from round 2. It's probably to stop people not having a commander on the field.
The first part for sure but the second part I’m not so sure if it doesn’t score
The top section says round two the bottom dozens. That’s what we weren’t sure about when we were playing the game we asked. So just curious to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks for watching.
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I commented before I saw you had that discussion. It is interesting, I've been playing it all as round 2 but you have got me questioning myself.
@TheBarrelbear lol, right? Same here :)
Great video. Would love to see some Bluurgs, Obi-Wan on varactyl would be pretty cool. Or maybe some Kaadu. (Maybe with a gungan battle force)
Thanks for watching
The question of creature troopers is really making me think about what happened to the wealth of cool sci-fi creatures populating the background of the Star Wars universe? Also: Cue the "like a Bantha" meme from Book of Boba. Speaking of the game: for having a 1000 points to work with now; it seems like there were a lot less models on the board this match, though I do enjoy seeing more named characters than squads of generic troopers. Thanks for the upload!
Yeah adding lots of names means less grunts for sure
Fairly new to both the channel and the game. Really love the videos, they have helped me learn a lot! Maybe I missed this somewhere but I’d love a video showcasing your game room and maybe do a bit of an about us type thing. Would love to know how often you are playing games and how you find the time for everything. Keep up the good work guys!
Then end of a shatterpoint video like 2 episodes ago has a room tour!
I want boba fett riding a rancor
Would be sweet. Thanks!
-Joe
This series has been super helpful for learning the game! Give us a rancor!
Welcome to the game
Twi’leks riding Blurrgs, for Republic and Rebels. You could have Cham Syndulla as a Leader upgrade for them.
Also Flip or Pass forever!
That would be cool
Boba on a Rancor creature trooper 😂
Thanks for watching
Love the paint job on those dewbacks! I like seeing the flip or pass. It is helpful to think why certain lists want certain objectives, especially with new legion. I was really hoping they would make a mounted geonosian unit on an Orray. I was thinking they'd have a spear and could have 2 geos on a single orray. A Reek, Nexu, Ackalay, or Kaadu for gungans would also be sweet !!
Plenty more new units to come for sure
I would like to see Wampas that attack anything that gets within range 1 of it.
Thanks for watching
Keep the flip or pass PLEASE! It's great to hear your thoughts concerning strengths and weaknesses for your lists.
Kaadu for the Gungans 🤩
You mention courage bobble with Wedge... A field commander only grants courage 2 if he is the only commander / has the commander token, right?
Other than that he only has the function of being nominated commander with generic command cards.
We will. Thanks for watching!
-Joe
I love the flip and pass. Especially with the new rules still being fresh.( I liked it in the old rules too)
Thanks for watching
Oooh impact and armor1, I don’t know exactly what this is since this game and war gaming is totally new to me, but I would totally love to get started. I’m here for the long haul, let’s go
Welcome and enjoy!
the boga obiwan rides would be cool, love the map this time keep it up!
Thanks for watching
Rancor as a mercenary! Shadow collective needs new toys
For sure
Great BR! How about some of those camel looking things Obi Wan rode?
Thanks for watching
You know everyone would love a bantha and tusken raider unit. Also the clone blood hound thingy would be fun
Thanks for watching
Great game! As for mounted troops I'd love to see some clones riding felusian slugs!
Yeah that would be cool. They leave difficult terrain behind them haha
Kenobi on the big lizard would be a great creature unit for the republic!
Seems like Inquisitors are oddly squishy. Especially for their point cost. They probably do not like the new cover rule since it is no longer a consisten way to get hits removed. Though I did like seeing Royal Guards stepping up and trying to protect units!
Yeah that was the goal
If anything, I’d like more explanation for flip or pass to discuss your thought process. And as I understand Bring Them to Heel, the second part can happen immediately, although I’m guessing that wasn’t what they intended as you can get a cheap immediate panic with no commander on the board. We definitely need Acklay, Nexu, Reek as creature troopers for CIS
Yeah that would be fun
New Creature Trooper idea (in the spirit of the great Gray Matter Gaming tundra mat): AT-AT creatures.
Haha that’s something I can get behind
Blurrgs! We need to see blurrgs!
For sure
37:47 & 29:46 - POIs provide heavy cover. The rolls were such that it didn't make a difference.
We usually pay attention to that. Thanks
I like the flip or pass. Obi wan on the lizard, Boba on Rancor
Yeah boba rancor would be cool
Would love to see Echo Base again played with Covering Fire and Hold At All Costs. Second turn Hold At All Costs with 3x Veterans getting Aim + Standby, and then coordinating Mk2 to standby (potentially with aim with linked targeting array), seems really strong especially if you give the Veterans Overwatch as training.
Dream creature trooper would having Jabba's Palace as a mercenary faction with a Rancor. Looking forward to Luke/Han on Tauntaun, though.
That’s to many aims and stand buys
Don't sleep on Inquisitorious Training. Throw on Fear and keep them together near a POI. That's 4 suppression you can dish out very quickly to every enemy unit in a Range 2 bubble.
Thanks for watching
Demoralize is a target enemy unit, not all enemy units. So you could put 4 on one unit. Not every unit
@@ironjoebob7 "Demoralize X - (Unit Keyword) - After a unit with the Demoralize X keyword performs its Rally step, add up to X total suppression tokens to enemy units at Range 2." Why would it say "units" then?
Edit: Nevermind, the wording on this is so freaking stupid. It can be read either way. I feel like I'm in an episode of Superstore.
I'm not sure what other creature troopers they could have. Maybe Tusken Raiders on Banthas? Nightsisters on Rancors? Definitely the Gungans on their horse things. Could probably do like non-Clone infantry for Republic on creatures, like Twi'lek resistance (Hera's dad and his soldiers) on those things they rode in TCW series.
Blurgs I believe is what the twileks rode
Danny Trejo on a Rancor would be the best possible creature trooper
That’s the real winner
I’d definitely love to see obi-wan on his weird lizard since they also teased grievous on his monowheel
Yeah it’s a logical step
I quite like seeing flip or pass since it can be an important part of a match seeing what you dodged, what you wanted, and so forth. I can see at most once rules out for a bit just glossing over. "2 crits beats 1, so he's red. He picked X objective." But I don't think it feels slow selecting and it's fun to see what choices people make.
Also I blame you guys for making me want to get a Hoth map and Hoth terrain. Back when you guys first introduced me to LegionTerrain I had it low on my list, especially without a mat for snow. But everytime you do a hoth map... XD
Hmm I mostly play Rebels so what creature troopers could I get... clearly a Rebels crew riding loth wolves. A rancor as said by hume is a cool idea in general albeit not sure how. I'm happy to see the announcement of Luke and Han on Tauntauns. Blurgs are pretty stupid looking, but stupid in a way I kinda want one.
Yeah blugs would be fun
Table looks amazing!!
Thanks for watching
I don’t think you can force push commanders or operatives 38:15
You can force push any trooper unit. Thanks!
-Joe
I’d love to see Kaadu mounted with a gungan!
Yeah for sure
I'd love to see gungans Kaadu riders. I think they would be incredibly fun. Might be hard to differentiate them from tauns but I'd love them.
Thanks for watching
I know so many people have said it and the model would barely fit on the board but have to get the Rancor it would be awesome!
It’s not that big it would be at-st or smaller
A creature unit Id love to see would be an empire unit with a pack of hunting akk dogs, or maybe some loth wolves from rebels!
Also, thank you for these battle reports! I’ve been watching the new rules and just played my first official game two days ago!
Awesome welcome to the game
Not only should you keep flip or pass, you should bring back the jingle!!
Haha we will indeed
The different mounts from the gungun army would be cool.
Yeah for sure
I would like to see flip or pass continue. It’s nice to potentially see what options a list has.
As to new creature troopers needed, I have three in mind. The Gungans need Kaadu calvary when they get released, even if it’s just Captain Tarpals. Geonosian Orray Riders would be cool, especially if the second model was an arena beast, like the Nexu, Acklaay, or Reek. And I’d love to see Obi-Wan on his Varactyl, Boga. She was such a good girl.
Thanks for watching
Shadow Collective needs some love, so my vote goes in for a kick-ass mount of some sort for them. A rancour, perhaps? Oh, and Don, I think you're well past due on making Joe all salty over his "dice luck". Bad luck at key moments has prevented you from putting the hurt to him in proper fashion for too long now and even though I'm a staunch Rebel player, I'm pulling for you!
Haha thanks for the support
Would love to see boba riding a rancor! Luke or Mari’s could as well…
That would be cool
Some blurrg riders would be a fun creature unit. Could fit in rebels, republic (twileks) or as a merc unit. Would still love some more merc stuff like pirates in general.
Thanks for watching
Melee needs to get up fast can't wait it out. Gunline did it's damage!
Yeah for aure
The second part of bring them to heel scores on any round, including the first. Makes krennics 3 pip a very strong turn one play to score some points
Yeah that could potentially do work
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I played a game where we both played krennic and played that card turn 1. Haha. So much suppression, so many lost actions. I even had things unable to deploy until turn 2
Give me Jabba the Hutt as a commander creature trooper for Mercenaries. Also create a keyword, like Vengeful, to have an additional Operative rank at the cost of additional points.
That would be awesome
Jedi on Varactyl could be a cool unit.
Thanks for watching
Good game guys, though I had a feeling it would be tricky for that heavily melee skewed list against those hover:air units. As for creature trooper units, I would love to see some mounted gungans!
Yeah that was inconvenient for don
Happy to see the Rebels win, but i feel bad for the Imp player. Getting tabled can feel very demoralizing.
It was a struggle
Blurrg riders would be pretty cool
Yeah for sure
I'd love to see Boba riding the Rancor as a creature trooper. Would be up there with Chewy in the AT-ST in terms of how weirdly specific it was but also would give us more big mega units to make battles feel more epic!
I agree
I want to see a wild Wampa, just roaming the board mashing up who evers closest or something like that.
Yeah that would be fun
Ibwould love some of the creatures from the geonosis arena. Episode 2 Anikan riding the reek operative unit.
Yeah neutral creatures just on the field would be cool
We need the gungans to come out with a bunch of creatures.
Yeah for sure
I think when they bring out commanders on mounts we’ll see more creatures but until then I doubt they will release any new ones. I was a bit surprised Vader died so easily, when I go against him he’s slaps me
He usually lasts longer for me
Good old family affair between a Dad and his kids.
Yep
Keep the flip or pass didn’t take so long ! Keep the great work
Thanks for watching
Not many creature troopers for CIS, but I would put in a vote for small and medium base vehicles (like droidekas and Spider droids) to be able to get cover again.
Give me the big lizard from the movie.
That’s true
Honestly I like Flip or Pass
I'd like to see Boba on a Rancor and Obi-Wan on that lizard
Thanks for watching
Flip or pass is life. I also really thought the empire had this. For creature units I think blurgs, the creatures from revenge of the sith and maybe gungan mounter troopers? Are there any wookie mounted creatures?
I don’t know that we ever saw Wookiee mounts
A rancor for the shadow collective would be so sweet!
Yeah definitely
I think geonosians on some arena beasts would be cool 👍🏼
Yeah that’s a popular answer
For the next creature my guess would be obiwan on his lizard guy
That would be cool
Good game! I'm planning to snag Echo Base at some point. Veterans seem like good Rebel core. Great game!
They are solid for sure
Keep flip or pass. Great batrep.
Thanks for watching
A rancor creature trooper merc could be cool, could play well with boba fett
For sire
Keep flip or pass lol gg bois
Thanks for watching
I'd like to see the arena monsters from Geonosis join the CIS. They were some of my favorite bits of Attack of the Clones as a kid.
That would be cool
Please keep showing us the flip and pass. I love the way you run the games. I would also like to see some theory crafting for teams or unit opinions like JoJo cast 2 minute unit.
Yeah we have some extra content options we are talking about
Definitely Boba Fett riding a rancor would be an awesome creature addition
Yeah for sure
One of these days we'll get the Don comeback game. One day. 😂
Gotta happen eventually
Rancor for mercenaries!
Thanks for watching
I want to see Blurgg riders or maybe some form of flyer like on the Anderon CW episode
Yeah that would be cool
I would love to see a rancor or clon varactile riders!
Thanks for watching
Would a Hutt be a creature trooper?
I think creature indicates a lack of intelligence so probably not haha
I never realized there are only two creature troopers. They should add a rancor for the shadow collective.
Right
The asteroid hand puppet monster
Thanks for watching
I suspect they (Exogorth btw) are too big for legion, given they can swallow freighters whole.
@@SeptulumMaybe Legion 3.0 and a 30ft wide table?
I would love to see Obi on the giant lizard he got blaster off of on that one planet in that one place. (Could I easily google this and be more descriptive, yes. Did I? Obviously not.)
Haha it was perfext
Keep flip or pass. A rancor or wampa wouod be fun.
Thanks for watching
Hey, my army is echo base and I won for the first time since I switched to mk2 on my 3 vets. I noticed you never issued orders to your vets, which is how the mk2s get standby tokens before activating. It's super strong as long as I read the rules correctly because it allows them to get 2 attacks in the same round. Correct me of I'm wrong
That is something we forgot for sure
@graysquadrongaming8670 I haven't seen any discussion about the rule change to fire support since 2.6 so I could easily be wrong on the rules, because I haven't seen any way to attack twice in one round besides this.
Show me the 3 monsters from the geonosian coliseum. Maybe they could be a part of a future battleforce. Or maybe just put any thing from any faction riding them, just want them one way or another!
That would be cool
