I’m really surprised that Scout Troopers weren’t on the list considering one box gives you two units and the unit just got some great new buffs in the recent update. In fact, I bought three of ‘em and I still don’t own ISF and didn’t plan on getting Iden anytime soon (but was surprised with it for Christmas). But I do get how nice it’d be to have Gideon and Del Meeko.
Great timing for myself. Been playing Imperial Assault for a good while now but managed to pick up Legion Core box on sale for £60 ($80), looking forward to painting, playing and building an army. Thanks for the content.
Crabbok you are the man. I love all your videos. My credit card doesn’t because you convinced me three years ago to start pretty much collecting every faction in legion, armada, and X-Wing lol
This is well-timed! I just finished up my CIS and Republic armies and now I am looking to start collecting some Imperials. I was a little overwhelmed by the number of options for Empire vs the clone war armies. This really helped me focus on what I should purchase first. My wallet and my brain thank you lol.
Thanks Crabbok, as someone who is just getting into Legion I really appreciate your videos and I’m glad you’re updating them. I hope to see a new video for the Republic soon.
New to legion. Just watched your buy series about a week ago and was hoping you’d make an update for 2022 and luckily I didn’t have to wait too long! Thank you for taking the time to make an updated list!
Would you ever consider making buyers guides for Legion Skirmish? I think that might be an easier entry for some who might not be ready for bigger games. I’m planning to run some teaching skirmish games at my FLGS with units available for purchase in store right away. That way people can try a skirmish army, then buy it after playing if they liked it.
I'm happy to see that 90% of my first purchases these past few months for legion lined up exactly with this vid! (except for death troopers that came with my core set from ebay and krennic to boot) Almost finished with painting all that's left is infero squad, the health droid and vader!!!
I love these videos!! Legion, X-Wing, and Armada!! I recently got the Empire and Rebels (Christmas haul) and this video has justified my purchases ;). I have been building my CIS and Republic armies exclusively for my wife and I over the past year, but I felt the empire calling to me and had to enlist. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch a Legion Battle Report video...
Thanks for the "where to start"! I haven't gotten many chances to play but I have a full republic army with my eyes set on empire next. Keep doing what you're doing!
Nice video Crabbok, surprised Veers didn't make the list considering you recommended the ATST. Was surprised to see snow troopers on the list. I love them but they tend to not get a lot of love in general I think. Looking at the inferno squad expansion, after watching this it could be my next purchase to be honest. 🤠
Great content. Definitely looking forward to the Rebels video (my faction 😁) I've got the core, Lando, Cassian and K2, a set of Tauntauns and a set of wookies. Love this game
Another great video, having just got into Legion I look out for your content, a great source of insight, plus I downloaded your solo AI so I can get more games in. Thank you!
Perfect timing on the update!! Recently acquired a new core set for 60bucks. Through Xmas had few units added. Are you forced to hafta have every box for the cards like early Armada? Or will the card pack and basic units keep you covered??
I got into Legion a little bit ago. I don’t think you will have enough upgrades starting out, but I think the upgrade card pack adds enough extra cards unless you’re playing competitively and need a specific newer card.
@@JaretOnUA-cam Thanks. I come from a GW/ 40k background going back to 89'. I liked Battlefleet Gothic so i tried Armada few years back and enjoyed it. I don't play competitively. I lucked into a Legion core set and was slowly adding units, to make it playable. Price wise Legion is waay cheaper than most GW projects. Was looking to try it out.
Awesome video man! I just ordered the clone wars core set, unfortunately it's not gonna be delivered until early February. However, I bought a phase 2 clone trooper set, and a b1 battle droid set to keep me occupied till then...
Always enjoy these what to buy videos (they were crucial for me when I first got in to X-Wing 1.0) Enjoyable even though I’ve been playing Legion for a while. Surprised to see the LAAT so high up but I get the dual faction thing Original Core Sets were only $80.00 MSRP when the game came out, that $40 jump is steep considering it’s still the soft plastic 😮
Some good choices crab. Surprised you mentioned getting just 1 dewback, they tend to only be effective in 2 or 3’s. Looking forward to you CIS run down, although I own most of there units now 😂 iv got addicted
For imperials I think the LAAT should be at the absolute bottom of the list, just my opinion. It’s expensive, it takes up a lot of points in your list, and it just doesn’t do enough. You need to get some scout troopers for sure with their updated abilities. Otherwise I like the list!
Where do I find news about Legion nowadays? I've seen something about Battalions, new Darth Maul model and the introduction of Pyke faction, but their website's last post is from a year ago. ALso are they still printing the Core Set? I'm strugling to find one (I''m from Brazil, and the core box is gone here and someone told me they are not printing more anymore and the prices here skyrocketed, like it's above $200,00 around here)

Yeah I agree but that’s because I absolutely love them, always have. They’re so hardcore and with a sniper too!!

I’d say follow the same guide - just get less for skirmish
I think these videos are tremendously helpful for new players! I am glad you are doing them!
These are always super useful! I tend to buy bits for Legion very infrequently, so this always lets me know what to get next.
Literally just started getting into legion and Armada and found this channel recently. These videos have been a big help!
May the 4th be with you! Thanks for SW legion, mate!
I'm happy to see that 90% of my first purchases these past few months for legion lined up exactly with this vid! (except for death troopers that came with my core set from ebay and krennic to boot) Almost finished with painting all that's left is infero squad, the health droid and vader!!!
nice, just as i was starting to get into legion, thanks Crabbok!

This is a great format for all the games you're covering.
Precisely what I was looking for! I’m just now getting into legion and have been watching your videos on it a lot lately… perfect timing!
Thanks for the "where to start"! I haven't gotten many chances to play but I have a full republic army with my eyes set on empire next. Keep doing what you're doing!
The timing on this is incredible, I'm going to the local games cafe for my first game of Legion tomorrow
Nice video Crabbok, surprised Veers didn't make the list considering you recommended the ATST. Was surprised to see snow troopers on the list. I love them but they tend to not get a lot of love in general I think. Looking at the inferno squad expansion, after watching this it could be my next purchase to be honest. 🤠
I love these getting started primers, they're great for players returning from hiatus as well.
i have been thinking of starting an imperial army, this vid is extreamly helpful ty
Back after a while. Good to be back
Great advice for newcomers to SWL. Can't wait to see the videos for the other factions.
Looking forward to the Rebel update Crabbok!
Been toying with the idea of getting into Legion, especially Empire. This was well-timed.
Thanks for these videos they are a great help to us just getting started in the game. Look forward to the rest of them.
Thanks, again, for doing these videos. I love the "rule of cool." The group suggestions in the videos are great for thematic play.
Very helpful for those of us who got core boxes for Christmas. I should have watched this before I went for Scout Troopers first.
The timing is perfect. Thanks for the suggestions!
I’m trying to get started in Legion, this was super helpful!
I just built my rebels and I have 2 cores of empire to try to use , thank you for the vid
I just got legion for Christmas so this is great thanks
Good timing. I'm having an intro game this Thursday!
I do enjoy these videos every year. Mainly because I got as far as building the clone wars starter set and that was it…
Staring up with a 2nd army and thinking of going empire, this helps
just getting into Legion...love me some imperials. This guide is a great help to know some good options after the starter box, thanks!!
Love this vids, me and my best buddy just started with Legion, never painted or assambled any miniature... Just Love Star Wars..
Great video! It’s been really helpful for me making decisions on what to buy first.
Seems pretty good for new imperial players! I didn’t think inferno squad got to see that much play.
Inferno just got a points cut and ISF has always been good so the box is a generally good buy, especially if you have/want Iden too
So glad you do a new version. Just started with republic and waiting for a video on that!
Big X-wing fan and am starting to dip my toe into Legion. Thank you for these.
Absolutely love the content! Getting into Legion now, your videos are great resources especially when it comes to this type of thing!
Great content. Definitely looking forward to the Rebels video (my faction 😁) I've got the core, Lando, Cassian and K2, a set of Tauntauns and a set of wookies. Love this game
Good to see a good starting list
Awesome. Thank you. I've been thinking about taking the plunge and getting into Legion.
I've got everything but the Dewback, going to wait a while because my painting backlog is nuts.
Great video! Can't wait for the Republic update
I'm glad I found your channel. It helps me alot to get into the hobby.
The LAAT also has field commander with governor pryce which is really good for operative Vader
Thanks for uploading this man. Been working on my core sets and other sets
Excited to start my empire build thanks for this
Thank you so much, I genuinely needed this video!!!
Hopefully we'll see a second card upgrade pack soon with the newer cards.
Another great video, having just got into Legion I look out for your content, a great source of insight, plus I downloaded your solo AI so I can get more games in. Thank you!
I’ve been looking forward to all of the budget videos for legion and Armada
Just started collecting! Appreciate the info!
Yeah nice update and agree with the options to start off. Only will added Veers as he does work well with most of the options you added the video.
He’s also a great option… just didn’t quite make the cut for this list as I was trying to keep it shorter.
I fully understand
For CIS, have you considered running additional Super Tactical Droids as regular Tactical Droids?
why?
Thank you, this was very helpful. New to this and trying to learn and research as much as possible.
i bought a few tokens there amazing well done
I love that at 9:40 of the video, he says rebel officer instead of imperial officer
Just trying to see who's paying attention!
just getting into the game your videos rock!
Very helpful video for a beginner like myself! Really looking forward to the new Shadow Collective expansions coming later this year!
Nice listing! Thank you for the detailed information! ☺ 👌🏼
Perfect timing on the update!!

This is perfectly timed just played legion before Xmas and really like the design. Trying to decide which faction to pick up.
Just started to play this. Thanks for the advice. Just wondering if AMG is going to totally change the game going forward.
Very cool video. i look forward to collecting these to play.
Great vid man just started and thinking of empire or galactic republic
Thanks for all you do with the videos love them!
Great video as always Crabbok.
Thank you so much. Been wanting ti get into the game but I don’t know what to get.
Is there a good List when you want to play Deathtroopers and Darth Vader?
Will you be doing this with the other factions as well?
Yes
@@Crabbokok thanks because I just got into legion and gotten alot of galactic republic stuff except for captain rex
Awesome video man! I just ordered the clone wars core set, unfortunately it's not gonna be delivered until early February. However, I bought a phase 2 clone trooper set, and a b1 battle droid set to keep me occupied till then...
Can't wait for you to do the 2022 clone wars ones as that's the sets I'm getting into
Great information. Do you have the republics?
Always enjoy these what to buy videos (they were crucial for me when I first got in to X-Wing 1.0)
Enjoyable even though I’ve been playing Legion for a while.
Surprised to see the LAAT so high up but I get the dual faction thing
Original Core Sets were only $80.00 MSRP when the game came out, that $40 jump is steep considering it’s still the soft plastic 😮
Good content as always :D
It's hard to build an empire army because there are so many fun units, you want to use them all!
will you also make a film about the republic?
Yup!
I loved Rogue One so much, is a thematic Scariff army viable? I was planning to get the starter set, Krennec and Shore troopers to start
Thanks for the info!
You are awesome! made my Birthday gift for the GF!
Let’s go Empire!!! Best faction!
I think I guess it depends on what you really want to do with your army. But I like your budget list
Some good choices crab. Surprised you mentioned getting just 1 dewback, they tend to only be effective in 2 or 3’s.
Looking forward to you CIS run down, although I own most of there units now 😂 iv got addicted
Lightsaber cool!!
You should do an updated separatist on a budget
I am a returning player what buy for 2nd edition
For imperials I think the LAAT should be at the absolute bottom of the list, just my opinion. It’s expensive, it takes up a lot of points in your list, and it just doesn’t do enough. You need to get some scout troopers for sure with their updated abilities. Otherwise I like the list!
I enjoy these videos.

Nice resource!
Can you do this for Star Wars x-wing as well?
Great video thanks 😊
As of Feb. 2022 I paid $65 for the core set on ebay.
Well, that was faster than i expected. Now i only have to wait for the Separatists 😁
Great video.
I just checked the video you made a year ago, how come that these guides e.g. your top first buys differ that much?
