Just got into legion. One of the first minis I put together was the snail tank. Took like 4 hours and only missed one piece on the inside. 1/1 would recommend for first timers
This came right on time lol. A friend and I went halfsies on the Empire/Rebellion core set and have slowly been building up our armies for a few months. Finally got to play and was gushing about it to another friend and he immediately went out and got the GAR/CIS core set. So now I'm tasked with putting together the CIS army cuz he wanted clones haha. Thanks for the suggestions
Forgot how much I loved droids as a kid so when I got into it with a friend and they took republic I looked into cis and realized I love every single mini available for the faction, thanks for helping guide what to prioritize for functionality(still bought tank early on cuz, tank and on sale)
B1 minis are very well-made. I bought a standalone box of B1, loved the minis and now will try the game. Waiting for the core set. Too bad, in the place I live, there are not much wargamers, and the ones we have are WH fantasy guys and SW Legion minis available are rebels and empire
My favorite new combo I just tried out is magna guard following dooku around with the protector upgrade and dooku having the force barrier upgrade. They each become nearly impossible to kill.
It’s a good list, I honestly would replace the super tactical droid with Dooku. I feel like he is easier to use and you would spend less money overall because he takes up 1/4 of your list already. Just my 2 cents.
Agree with this. Super Tac Droid might be a little easier to use and can help newer players deal with the activation chain, but honestly the game isn't to hard to learn and once you do, you'll want the advanced strats Dooku can bring.
I was skimming through this video in the shop today as I was deciding what to buy. Got a core box, B2's, commando droids, Maul, and the new separatist invasion box. Thanks!
I recently purchased the Clone Wars core set, as I have most of the SW:Imperial Assault components and didn't want to repeat the same Empire vs. Rebels combats. Really like the larger size of these mini's...easier on my aging eyes. Your list of recommendations for future buys is much appreciated!
I totally missed this video. Good advice, this is probably the army I want to start. The Separatist have the coolest leaders, Grievous, Maul and Dooku. Also the droids look cool.
As an experienced model builder I spent 2.5 hours making 9 B1s on stream last night, then it only took 25-30mins to making all of the clones and obi, not including the speeder. Ironically those droids we still faster to make than Necron warriors games workshop, their sprue organisation has really gone down hill. This army at least for assembly I can see a lot of kids struggling to build.
Where do I start? I guess that you can't go wrong with any of these choices. I absolutely love my AAT. It really commands a lot of respect and fear. Which leads me to the next unit. The Super Tactical Droid was literally a godsend for the Separatists (imo). Kalani is the exact fit for my play style. Crabbok is right, he does take a more advanced play style to really utilize. While I have the snail tank (Persuader), I haven't played with it yet, really (not quite two turns before the game had to end doesn't really count in my book, lol) I think Crabbok summed it up very nicely when he said "buy what you like the most, because that's where you're going to have the most enjoyment"
Still crazy to think that you got me into star wars legion and I got my cores and expansions in the same sci fi city in Orlando youve mentioned in other vids without even noticing 😲
Woah, I was literally there the other day . Place is cool, think it's called something else now though. Was looking into getting into this game, there a decent amount of ppl who play here in Orlando?
I just finished putting together my clone wars starter box droids and can confirm they were surprisingly difficult to assemble. Also thanks for this! This is really helpful content.
Just got into LEgion, as a friend had 2 CW core boxes just sitting around, so i ended up with 4 units of B1s, 2 Grevious and 2 units of Destroyers, plus she'd bought Dooku as well, so i have a fairly hefty start, already eyeing up Maul and the T-Series, not to mention the AAT, love me some hovertank! Many thanks for the list, its given me some guidance on what direction to roll in, as bloody hell is this game pricey! ah well, better than alternative companies, as with this at least 9 times out of 10 you are getting a full unit, sometimes 2 or more in a pack.
I have to mention that while AAT comes with 3 pilot cards it only has a single miniature for OOM droid. You can get stl's for other two from Seb Miniatures tho :) I can honestly recommend those to anyone who wants to add bit more visual options to their AAT.
Am surprised by the bx teams above magnas & spiders. Magnas have been a auto include for me since iv bought them. So versatile. Completely agree on the b1 upgrade pack.
I have played a lot of games with just 2B1s and 1B2 and it works fantastic, so if you don’t want to buy the same box again you can buy some B2, Bx and maul and run a 800 list. Afterwards, you could also buy another core box if you want more B1s
The last Separatists video you did from 2020 had Count Dooku. Has be been replaced as a what to buy first model? Just getting into the game! Thank you for this very timely video.
Thanks for the help fellow Separatist player, I’m running maul AAT list atm it’s pretty fun and maul helps a little with that activation-control with his DRK droids
Been collecting Legion minis for a while and also watching your videos. Love your unboxing videos to see what everything is like in hand. Look forward to each new video
just the right time! bought the two different sets, what two armies do you recommend to collect? I'm very experienced with most wargames, she's a newbie - so its even better if she can get the "stronk" army and I'll take the harder army
Great breakdown as usual Senior Crabby, I do like the way you think in regards to Legion. A couple of questions... Kalani or Kraken? And. What? No love for the Spider Droids? :D
I'm still on the fence with the Spider Droids at the moment. My freaking antenna has broken twice within 2 days and I don't want to put new players through that grief. And Kalani all day every day!
waiting for my core set to arrive in the post. As someone coming from 40k/fantasy with general grievous I have noticed there are multiple build options. is it like 40k where different weapon options i.e the 4 sabres Vs 2 sabres Vs sabre and gun all play differently and are point costs differently or is it just cosmetic appearance? can you build with 2 light sabres and and still use the gun option in the game if not modelled with it for example like 40k?
As a Sep player... buy Cad Bane and learn to use him. It will make you a better player. All kidding aside though these buying guides are pretty spot on.
@@benoitlabrecque4513 I've never had issues running him, he just doesn't fit into the overall army play style. He really likes to run alone and cause havoc. Just gotta make sure you have ways to get your orders running when you wanna drop a Cad Bane card
I love Maul, he is a power house and a great choice for the CIS; but sadly currently I can't find him available to buy anywhere. Surprised the BX made the lists considering how easy they are to kill. AAT is awesome, got two and they are a brilliant way, to scare your opponent. Surprise Dooku didn't make the list seeing as he is such a powerful leader for the CIS
I wish people would play more legion in my area, I still havent bought in bcuz of this and xwing is dying too. Just sucks and wish me luck on the lightsaber!
I don't think they would put all the scenario sards into one box seems like too much effort for them for something that isn't a big priority for the community.
Just got into legion. One of the first minis I put together was the snail tank. Took like 4 hours and only missed one piece on the inside. 1/1 would recommend for first timers
I've started recently too, sucks that you had a missing piece, it is so much fun.
I'm a veteran 40k builder. I can make a whole box of 10 guys in an hour.
Took me 4 hours to make 4 droidekas. Those minis were awful to put together
as a republic player its a touch terrifying how cheap Seppy units are

Starting the game and going with the Separatists. I've always loved the idea of a droid army and this is very exciting.
As an experienced model builder I spent 2.5 hours making 9 B1s on stream last night, then it only took 25-30mins to making all of the clones and obi, not including the speeder. Ironically those droids we still faster to make than Necron warriors games workshop, their sprue organisation has really gone down hill.

Every morning I wake up, make coffee, and listen to Crabbok. Very refreshing! Thank you, sir!

good video although i am surprised to see magnaguards so low on the list
I've been on the fence on Legion for a while now. Don't know any current players so this really helps in trying to figure things out.
I think magnaguards should be prioritized over bx commandos.
very epic can't wait to see what they bring out his year
Just ordered my May 4th Separatist bundle and am pleased to find out most of the expansions they offer are in this list!
Still crazy to think that you got me into star wars legion and I got my cores and expansions in the same sci fi city in Orlando youve mentioned in other vids without even noticing 😲
Woah, I was literally there the other day . Place is cool, think it's called something else now though. Was looking into getting into this game, there a decent amount of ppl who play here in Orlando?
Thanks for the updates to these videos. I’m still a new adopter and these are helpful

This will really help me out when I’m looking to buy. Thank you so much.

I modified a Tactical droid to replace the OOM figure that comes with it.
It is great that you make these videos as it is very helpful to have a guide of which units to buy.
Loving your what to buy first videos! Definitely helpful in trying to figure out where and how to get started! Thanks!!
These videos are soooo useful!! Thank you so much!!!
Great finish of all these for the entire set of armys.
Am surprised by the bx teams above magnas & spiders. Magnas have been a auto include for me since iv bought them. So versatile. Completely agree on the b1 upgrade pack.

Just got into the game, this is perfect timing! Awesome video.
Thanks for the guide I love the last few units looking to get the spider droid and the snail tank soon!
I've recently picked legion up, built painted some clones, getting a friend to play cis
Just want to say thanks for your videos. I'm new to Legion but your vids are very informative 👌
Just starting to put together a clone army now!
Thank you for telling me what to buy
i love the seperatists
Great series of videos. These have been very informative for us new guys.
Solid list! Maul is a ton of fun!! I need some tweaking with him to last a little longer. Haha
just the right time! bought the two different sets, what two armies do you recommend to collect?
I'm very experienced with most wargames, she's a newbie - so its even better if she can get the "stronk" army and I'll take the harder army
thanks for the suggestions
Just started playing. Thanks for the info!
love this era
Im still in school an paied way to much for legion i just love this hobby i want so many stuff and colours but i dont have the money!!!!
Thank you for the video!
Couldn't pass on Dooku or STAPS because they are so iconic but great video
I ended up grabbing 3 core sets. I enjoy the harder models to build so I guess I need that tank next lmao
Two naked ig-100s are better than one ‘full’ one. More protection
Very helpful video, thanks!
Great breakdown as usual Senior Crabby, I do like the way you think in regards to Legion. A couple of questions...
Kalani or Kraken?
And.
What? No love for the Spider Droids? :D

@@Crabbok Replace it with a length of nylon cut from a broom.
Great video. Wish the packs were not so expensive Inn the UK.
B1s… a pain to assemble but soooo easy to paint!
I remember when I first built grievous I put his legs on backwards
thanks for the info

Very well done!!
As a Sep player... buy Cad Bane and learn to use him. It will make you a better player. All kidding aside though these buying guides are pretty spot on.
Is he bad to play?

What do you think of the dwarf spider droid
Do you have one of these videos for xwing 2022?
Have you considered running a Super Tactical Droid as a regular Tactical Droid?
Love your videos
I love Maul, he is a power house and a great choice for the CIS; but sadly currently I can't find him available to buy anywhere. Surprised the BX made the lists considering how easy they are to kill. AAT is awesome, got two and they are a brilliant way, to scare your opponent. Surprise Dooku didn't make the list seeing as he is such a powerful leader for the CIS
Sir Christopher Lee disapprove this video 😱
@Crabbok - Do you have a recommendation for a container for the miniatures?
I wish people would play more legion in my area, I still havent bought in bcuz of this and xwing is dying too. Just sucks and wish me luck on the lightsaber!
will there be one of these for crisis protocol?
Thanks for the videos! Jus tot that your hands movement r a little distracting
Debating getting into Legion
I don't think they would put all the scenario sards into one box seems like too much effort for them for something that isn't a big priority for the community.
Got a video like this for people with no budget?
Does Maul have his metal legs as an option?
Not yet. He will in a new faction box set launching in the months ahead tho
Did someone say lightsaber
love these vids, keep it up mate... (can i have light saber? i have 2 kids .)
