    Just bought the Blizzard Force expansion, I can’t wait to play it as my General Veers has yet to be played; it’s only fitting he gets his actual force to use lol

    I love your "on a budget" videos so much, and I'm so happy to see an updated one for Legion! I'm just now getting into Legion and the new Moff Gideon expansion and Imperial Remnant battlefront rules are actually really appealing to me (and may suit newer players methinks, from a collecting standpoint). As I haven't collected many multiples of same unit types yet, being able to field a more eclectic group of diverse imperials seems pretty cool!

    Literally got into Legion yesterday. Went with:
    Clone Wars Starter
    Separatist Invasion Force
    501st Legion
    Phase 2 Clone Troopers
    Republic Fighter Tank
    Super Battle Droids
    Count Dooku
    Captain Rex
    It was cheaper for me to add more as my FLGS gave me a discount that grew as I added more.

  • @WelcomeToLumbridge
    @WelcomeToLumbridge Рік тому +1

    After collecting most rebel units and heroes in the game, i really regret not starting at the Echo Base Battlebox. If you're reading this and leaning heavily on the Rebel faction, Echo Base Battlebox is a great way to get great troops and a nice force to start learning how to play.
    The only thing daunting for a new hobbyist would be painting white.

    I've had a 2 player starter sitting around forever due to a hilarious misadventure that I've done nothing with, but having been looking into it I've been actually considering it, naturally Empire because OMG Death Troopers are metal.

  • @TheNathonn
    @TheNathonn Рік тому +1

    Thx for the video ! i did go on a Blizzard Force not long ago , here's what i buy :
    - 2 Blizzard Force 300$
    - 1 Star Wars: Legion core set 120$
    - 2 Imperial Stormtroopers Upgrade 50$
    - 1 Imperial Specialists 25$
    - 1 General Veers 20$
    - 1 Darth Vader Operative 20$
    Sold the rebel side of the core set plus the fift speeder bike unit
    And you're all set for a nearly complete Galactic empire blizzard force on a budget ! ( and 2 extra Darth Vader model🤨😏 )

    • @reecepower8906
      @reecepower8906 Рік тому

      Probably only needed one blizzard Force.
      I personally would of just got 1 more unit of speeders if you brought the core.
      Also you're never gonna use 6 units of Snow's.
      Standard blizzard Force is 2 units of Snow's, 2 storm heavys and 4 bikes.
      The extra blizzard force box is such a waste

    Great timing for this vid and can't wait for the upcoming what to buy first on a budget for the Rebels. For the Imperial Specialists and Stormtrooper Upgrades what do you recommend for a ratio? 1 to 1, 1 to 2, 1 to 4 etc?

    • @nickgriffin3031
      @nickgriffin3031 Рік тому

      1 of each, maybe down the road you'd want a 2nd stormtrooper upgrade but by no means something early on

    • @bernhardholmok9950
      @bernhardholmok9950 Рік тому

      you don't need more than 2...unless you got free money to spend. I run a mix of heavy weapons so 2 gives me enough flex to field what I want.

  • @michaelmaddocks5316
    @michaelmaddocks5316 Рік тому

    I think the battle forces offer great value for money entering the game, I’d always lean towards them, especially if you’re only collecting 1 faction

    Essentials kit range rulers and movement tools are much nicer than those in the core sets, plus having the skirmish cards makes it great when learning the game.
    Aside from that great vid, but friends don't let friends play empire. Mmmk?

  • @tylered85
    @tylered85 Рік тому +1

    For beginners to the game itself, I think the core set is better. Snowtroopers require a little more finesse in my experience. I'd also recommend ISF and Iden over any terrain packs. Same with Deathtroopers. Deathtroopers are easy to use and with double surges, you just cant go wrong with that. Shoretroopers are definitely a must unless you are just a really big fan of Stormtroopers and want to swarm your enemy with them. I think for the extra 12 pts though, switching from white to black die for damage is much much better.
