Star Wars Legion Events At Adepticon 2018
December 11, 2017 by deltagamegirl22
I cannot believe that we're nearing the end of 2017, but that only means we are that much closer to Adepticon 2018- and what a show it's shaping up to be!
We were fortunate enough to be in attendance at the Adepticon planning meeting this weekend, where we got to see Star Wars Legion being demoed by Matt Holland from Fantasy Flight Games.
I am soooooo excited about this game! After seeing the game at Gen Con, it was great to see it again and taken into more detail.
We were learning to play with essentially two starter boxes of miniatures, which gets you to 800 points, and the size of a typical game. We were able to see the specific command cards in play, as well as some weapons upgrades and see how gameplay worked with objectives involved.
The scenario we played involved securing towers on the table in a hostile environment, which meant that the suppression rules operated a bit differently and it was far more challenging to get rid of suppression once you had it.
If you love Star Wars (and who doesn't? And if you don't, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore), you are going to love this game. It literally takes all the things we love about Star Wars and brings it to life on the table for us to play. Is it the first quarter of 2018 yet?!
Back to Adepticon. At the show this year, gamers can have the opportunity to interact with Star Wars Legion in a few different ways. There are two seminars on Painting the Starter Set, as well as a couple ways to play the game in the Boxset Skirmish individually or the Combined Assault as teams.
There's even a Star Wars: Legion Hobby Kickstart, which is a friendly introduction to miniature gaming and painting miniatures for those making the jump to lightspeed - I mean, into miniature gaming.
Will you be playing the Empire or the Rebels in Legion?

I am stoked for this game too. I have a starter set, an AT-ST and. Speeder on pre-order. I just hope it hits in February as rumoured.
I’ve signed up for the Star Wars: Legion Hobby Kickstart! on 3/22. Alas, I won’t own the starter by then, but I am quite excited to finally be able to see this in person! I have my WotC figures from the CMG from a dozen or so years ago, so I may be able to use those as proxy models until I can recover from paying for Adepticon.
Adepticon in on my list for 2018.
Looks like I’ll have to commit to pre-ordering it so I have a chance at having it before the con!
I could find myself playing the Empire as that’s what I played to must in Xwing. Plus, those Stormtroopers are just doing their job. He he
Wow. Just re-read that post. I should never speed type while at work and post without checking what I’ve written.
Pre-order Star Wars Legion
Played the most in Xwing.
(hopefully BoW 2.0 will let us edit our posts. Unless I’m missing it here somewhere now)
As someone who can barely type, I concur with the option to edit!
i wanna say ill be playing both, but that could change depending on how my wallet feels!
cant wait to check out the game!
great looking figures.
I was hesitant at first but stoked for it now, my Empire will be done first going for some Endor themed basing as it seems a great fit with initial releases.
Star Wars Legions is currently the game I´m looking forward to the most. Soon after it had been announced I watched episodes I – VI again and I got thrilled by the possibilities this game is going to offer. What a plethora of stuff to borrow from: It goes without saying that we are going to enjoy battles on Hoth, Kashyyk (I think I didn´t get this name right, I mean the Wookiee-planet) and clone armies all over the place, to name but a few. And, I don´t remember who suggested it, but there might even be a Gungan army,… Read more »
