Star Wars Legion – Space Station Interior Table // Part 7
June 22, 2018 by johnlyons
Hello everyone. In this video I respond to some feedback from Collin at Battle Systems and start to add more structure to the table. Come take a look.
I like the extra tower and walkway. It adds, what I believe, is more playable space to an area of the board that would otherwise serve no purpose.
The "docking" tower is ok, but I am not totally sold on the idea as it currently stands.

Hmmm, very nice. A few small items, it this is a IMPERIAL base, replace the X wing fighters with TIE fighters. The tower behind the shuttle, get rid of it, how is the shuttle to fly in with that there. How cluttered does the table want to be. If it’s an imperial base, hanger, from SW, the imperial stuff is spartan, not that much is there to ‘clutter up’ the scenery but as something else, outpost, etc, then it could work. If this is a REBEL base, clutter, clutter and more clutter. And then the X wings work ( but… Read more »
If they repainted the “Fire Spray” it could still work. The current scheme is very reconizable as Boba Fett’s Slave1. Unless Fett is in the scenario then thats a whole different thing. I think it looks great so far regardless and look forward to seeing the game play.
Re: shuttle – remember Star Wars ships have repulsorlifts so can hover and turn on the spot, so I imagine it’s flown in from the short edge and turned on the spot to land.
Also we’re assuming that the hanger was intended for Lambda-class shuttles to land in; maybe it was originally intended for smaller ships and some suicidally brallsy pilot has flown the larger shuttle in as an emergency for some reason (eg this could be a Rebel station and the shuttle is Imperial and carried a boarding party so flew into the first available hanger it could fit into).
I’d say don’t make it a docking tower, make it an ‘air traffic control’ room for the hanger, with that corridor leading off into the space station; I’m not a tactical expert, but I think it’d be wise to have the control room for the hanger not be directly accessible from the hanger for security reasons. In light of that I think there would be a wall it’s jutting from (obviously for practicality purposes you wouldn’t build that wall) rather that it being a freestanding tower. Dunno how practical it’d be, but it might look nice considering the height of… Read more »
It’s looking great John.
Absolutely aawesome looking table there,really shows what you can achieve with that terrain.
It’s a lovely looking layout no question. I just don’t know how practical it would be to actually play on. It very much depends on the game and I’m not sure how suited Legion is to that much terrain.
The Battle Systems stuff does look good and has the potential to offer variety. But I’ll be honest since receiving my Kickstarter lot I’ve hardly touched it because despite being exceedingly customisable it just takes too long to build up and take down.
I leave mine assembled as semi-houses. Speeds things up if you have the storage space for terrain.
looks like it will be a blast to play on. Good job.
