Recently got into legion and I've found it super helpful to go through your backlog of videos. Thanks for being such a consistent content creator, it's made catchup up really easy!
@@ChosenOne-il4bm It is different than tcgs. TCGS are a lot less involved to play casually, but probably a lot more involved to play competitively. They are both awesome games to play though.
I've been waiting for this one. Awesome! My younger brother and myself just got in to Star Wars Legion, both of us playing with my starter set for the Galactic Civil War. He was thinking of starting a Clone army so this video is going to help him massively! Thanks Crabbok!
Just need to add "til all are one" at the end lol. As a new player to Legion I appreciate that there is no overlap between the core box and the battle force box.
Got the Core set and my brother bought the Infantry Platform because he's always loved that vehicle and was surprised to see it... They pair up insanely well with the Clone Troopers and the Infantry Platform is cheaper than the T Battle Tank (points and money wise). Not to mention the Fire Support Mechanic plays in nicely with the Platform. Anyway, it's a quick buy to give yourself a heck of an edge... The firepower and gunslinger ability on the weaponry works well too... I speak as a CIS player with the core set's droids and a squad of B2 battle droids to deal with my brother's Infantry Platform, it's very hard to deal with haha
One thing I think worth mentioning with the 501st is that its 3 sets of the ARC trooper expansion so it gives not only 3 full squads but 3 strike teams too, enough to fill out a standard list's SF slots with either. Def agree on the LAAT/LE build instructions, at least one of the smaller pieces straight up isn't shown where it goes, just suddenly is on the model in the diagrams. I think R2 is a solid addition to a cody list since cody wants to have vehicles, and adding 3po can help give out tokens to either your clones for sharing, or vehicles. The dodge might not do much (unless its a saber), but 70 points for potential 4 extra health and consistent extra aims on a vehicle is solid. Getting the secret mission point is a bit hard with his speed 1 tho and dedicating a laat for transport is a bit much compared to say an x-34 on rebels.
You are very well spoken, I will say with your Chanel, I’m just starting out with Star Wars legion. Found your information very helpful. I will be back. Thank you.
Just started expanding from my GAR collection from the core set. So glad to see the clone commander and specialists were what you recommended. I thought many of the same points as to the value. I really want to use rex as the commander and the clone commander as a phase 1 clone unit leader.
I got myself a core set of the Republic some phase 2 clones a Tx-130 and Grand master Yoda for my 1st buy just a month ago so still painting them up and watching alot of videos
Love these videos! I picked up 2 core sets last year based on your 2022 recommendation videos, so these are a good place to find additional key units. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the battle force boxes before picking up the 2nd core set...
I purchased the Wookie box before I even purchased any Core Box Set. And, I will run an all-Wookie team in a heartbeat. Back in the D20 Star Wars Minis game I used to run an all-Wookie team. I lovingly called...The Hair Bear Bunch, us old heads know who they are. I will revive the Hair Bear Bunch once again in Legion and even in Shatterpoint. They have to make a Wookie unit for Shatterpoint.
Your video on Empire recommendations was very helpful, and I’m sure I’ll come back to this one when the time comes. Right now, I just want to buy ARCs for days. Haha.
I feel as well as pointing out the print errors in the 501st Legion Battle Force Box, you should also point out that some genius at AMG wrote rules that allow 4 Special Forces in a list, but only included 3 Special Forces order tokens. Also mine and others I've seen didn't come with flight stands for the Arc Troopers, and despite the UK still having a parts department the waste of space Asmodee UK seem to be 12 weeks on still haven't rectified this. It's great to spend all that cash and have miniatures I cannot use.
I have recently started playing gar and am just waiting for my 501st box to start playing so this was helpful to find some good units to fill out my army thanks crabbok
Great content as always! Will we be seeing more battle reports on the channel? Love your precise games and explanations, keep up the good work 🎉 Luv ya!
Guess i need to throw my name in the hat for the shatter point give away. Have only just finally invested in legion after corting it for a long while but some of the sculpts and minis in shaterpoint are awesome. Have really been enjoying all your legion content and found it super informative so thanks for it all.
Been looking forward to this series! Can you do an updated series on Armada ? Been keen on that game also but don’t really know where to start in 2023.
Started off with the Shadow Collective battle force and quickly started expanding into GAR, super excited to fully expand into all that this army has to offer
@@Pelorious GAR obviously has a bit more diverse play style depending on what you start out with while SC has limitations on your units, but I have found that it all depends on what you are looking to get out of it. You can get a full 9-10 activation list with two SC start let boxes and GAR is going to be a little more expensive to get into, but it’s very much like Crabbok suggests it’s what you like and want to play/have as a collection and you can always branch out and build multiple armys
@@charlescassels3826 my 10 activation list with SC consist of 2 battle force boxes and Gar Saxon as there aren’t many other options for them, but they are a lot of fun to play as and painting Maul’s Mandos was and awesome bonus
27:02- Really?!? I guess it was a bit of a pain for me also. But I definitely wouldn’t consider it the worst for me. Obviously everyone is different and we all have things we are good or bad at but I had huge issues with the AT-ST and it’s F-ing legs!!! My AT-ST looks drunk sitting on a bench! Lmao
Started legion recently coming from 40k, so far GAR is the faction i like the most. But i feel their roster is a Little lackluster, especially on the operative Side( no Jedi There really?). I hope they are gonna release more content for Them this year.
Where do I find the 'nerf's to Rex? I can't find anything in the errata document that's on the AMG site. Is it hidden somewhere else? And is there a place you download updated unit cards for printing?
trying to get into legion after years of following it, but before i know what to buy i have an stupid question: i´m buying it to play with a friend and that´s it, no tournaments no anything, just to play it at home with one copy of each core set and a bunch of expansions, even if we make big games with a lot of points, even if we follow the rules and stick to 500-800-1600 points, there´s one thing bothering us, which is mixing phase 1 and 2 troopers on the battlefield so we were thinking.. since we´re not compiting anywhere, can we get a bunch of phase 2 clone troopers, save their cards, and just use the rules for the phase 1 clones with the phase 2 minis, considering we´ll also have captain rex, commander cody, arc troopers and stuff like that on the battlefield? or would that be too confusing and illegal even for a fun, chill game night at home? maybe 3d printed minis from etsy would be better? give me your opinion and best advice on that if you can! thanks and amazing videos, very helpfull for new players!
I’m glad to see a Cody model coming out soon, but I hope he isn’t so good that he becomes and auto-include for every GAR list. The great thing about the starter set phase 1 clone models is that they are really easy to build…and they are excellent corps units still.
Prices will rise soon, seen it on my favorite minis already. I collect more than playing personally, 3d printing single pieces is becoming more wallet friendly for me.
For the Republic!
I just got into Star Wars legion. Love these videos they have been a big help when make purchases.

That great and very different cruise and freighters outter rimcharts ASTRO charts okay wow, and cool different upgrades cards.thank update.
Thank you for all your hard working in producing your content! 😀

Stay with ( sorry )
I enjoy the caveats you place at the start of these videos.
Just got into legion in the past couple months, was looking forward to this video!
Im so glad you did an update for GAR when Im trying to buy more to get started
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

Thank you so much for this video, just starting republic so this is very helpful
I've been waiting so long for this list!! These are amazing watches especially if you are getting back into the swing of the game.
I'm just getting started I used to play war hammer 40k but it's just to expensive solutely loved your budget videos they really helped out a lot
Love these videos! I picked up 2 core sets last year based on your 2022 recommendation videos, so these are a good place to find additional key units. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the battle force boxes before picking up the 2nd core set...
This is the list I was most looking forward to. Thanks for the great content
Been looking at starting an army for Legion, this video may have just helped me find which one I want to pick
Great video! Always great information that you give to new players. Keep up the good work.
Been waiting for this one... and it didn't disappoint! Thanks 😊
Nice points. I'll use them in making my next purchase
Wow I didn't realize how few units the republic has compared to empire and rebels. Great points tho!
Republic hasn’t gotten a new unit in about 2 years.
@@DakkaDakka12 well with Cody and Ahsoka it seems like they'll finally get the reinforcements they need 😊👍🏻
Wish they keep up with armada
Thanks for the video, recently into Legion with Empire, but was very close to doing GAR instead!
Thank you for these videos, as a new player has helped me figure out what I need to make an army

Good stuff! My GAR is all still in boxes but I will get to them oneday.....
I'll be restarting my GAR this year and hopefully have a proper 212th army when I get Cody and Obi Wan going.
Gotta get that battleforce soon.
It will round out my army well enough.

Finally😂. I was waiting for this
As a new Legion & GAR player thus gives me an idea what to expand my 501st box.
I can’t wait to get all the sets
Hopefully you do CIS/Droids next cause my bro and I literally just started thinking of getting into legion with clones vs droids
Been looking forward to this series!
Can you do an updated series on Armada ? Been keen on that game also but don’t really know where to start in 2023.
Started off with the Shadow Collective battle force and quickly started expanding into GAR, super excited to fully expand into all that this army has to offer
I started in GAR but I’m lookin g at picking up the shadow collective, seems like a great deal to cheaply and quickly build a unique list.
How did it feel doing that transition? I'm also looking to get into star wars legion, and those two forces are what I'm currently deciding between.

This is a budget
How much is a full army ??
"what to buy first" videos are always great and tend to need to be redone every couple of years as new products come out and rules are updated.
Keep up the great videos
Thanks great video
11:08- I like this box! But it is beyond disappointing that we STILL don’t have a upgrad box like this for our phase 2 troopers!?! I don’t get it!
Gotta wonder when Cody comes out who is gonna have the better list ? The 501st themed one or the star corps ? Be a cool battle for sure
I have the core box stuff and my plan is for the 501st, Commander Cody, and a Saber Tank. Because nothing says infantry game like a mechanized force.
thanks for the content
general kenobi
get it, he said the hello there funny thing!
I love these videos.

thinking of getting into legion primarily for painting the minis, i love mandos - what kind of faction would be the best foray into that?
Started legion recently coming from 40k, so far GAR is the faction i like the most. But i feel their roster is a Little lackluster, especially on the operative Side( no Jedi There really?). I hope they are gonna release more content for Them this year.
Captain Rex have 1 issue, have no acces to pierce keyword, via pierce or lethal, if rex have at least lethal 1 would be a god tier commander
Love it!
Great video
There really should be an additional video for the "universal" buys that should be considered first.
Deffinetely the clone battle force is the best one out, no repeted units with the core and the value of it is crazy!
Clone wars starter set in $60 on Amazon right now!
Where do I find the 'nerf's to Rex? I can't find anything in the errata document that's on the AMG site. Is it hidden somewhere else? And is there a place you download updated unit cards for printing?

I’m just dipping my toes into Legion. Would definitely buy Shatterpoint if I won the gift card.
Amazing
Glad to see they ran out of stock of the 501st battleforce. Hopefully it means theyre fixing the issues with the box.
You'll have to update this for Legion 2.0
This will be very helpful once iv completed the two armies I already started 😂 my wife thinks I have enough already but we all know that's not true
This list is pretty accurate to what I think. If you don’t get the battleforce box you will need Anakin I think
I love these videos to see what direction i want to drive my clones as the game progresses forward. Also comment to enter give away.
Still really intrigued by legion... Still deciding on faction.
501st seems to be out of stock everywhere, any idea why it's out of stock now? It's been this way for a few months now
Finally!! I have been waiting for this for months when I first found you after I started up with Legion 😅😅
Clones for the win 😊
As a Rebel player it's good info to see if not 100% relevant, but if I do start a second faction, it would be this one.
30 dollars for 4 minatures!? This game is heaven
With how the faction is I would still start with 2 core sets, phase 1 clones are still some really great units
GAR may not be the most meta of the factions, but I play it purely cuz of the cool factor
Cool video
Anyone know where I can find an English 501st battle force I found one on Amazon and it wasn’t English 😂
Hi, i'm from Germany and would like to know if the giveaway is US specific or world wide.
Nice vid
Asome
I’m glad to see a Cody model coming out soon, but I hope he isn’t so good that he becomes and auto-include for every GAR list.
The great thing about the starter set phase 1 clone models is that they are really easy to build…and they are excellent corps units still.
neat
god the core set on sale for 66 thanks Amazon
Hello everyone in chat.
Prices will rise soon, seen it on my favorite minis already.
I collect more than playing personally, 3d printing single pieces is becoming more wallet friendly for me.
Seeing how cheap all this stuff is, I wish there was a Legion community where I am. Instead, I'm just running Guard and Knights in 40k.
HELLO THERE
This game always interested me, but as a 40k player... Getting into another wargame gives me hesitation
Arc troops
6 vehicles, not four ;)
We want AT-TEs and Laat/i, also clone commandos.
First
