Should I Put My Rocket Launchers on the Kryze Vets or Fire Support Warriors?

Still undecided on the next squad colors. It would be smart to just do different variations of these colors, but really like the 80/20 sister squads I have going on.

For Mandalore!

I have not played the game yet.

I’m new to legion only have 5 games in at this point and have yet to win a game. Looking for help on how people have successfully run the 501st? Thanks for any insight!

Btw what type of glue do I use to assemble the figurines? I saw one plastic glue that apparently dissolves the plastic to fuse them together and got a bit scared so I figured I’d ask the pros lol

Now to assemble at least part of this before my LGS does an event

I was using the awesome Legion Helper tool by u/takras and came across a tad frustrating scenario when trying to print some of the command cards.

Basically my method to printing cards is to print print the front and back on the same side, score along the middle and fold / glue then cut for a thicker end result. This works great with the way the unit cards are horizontally oriented. (See 1st picture)

However, for the command cards and other vertically oriented cards (See 2nd picture), when I select print front and back on the same side I get a configuration that is of little use as I can't fold the card and it's 9 per sheet (an odd number) which means nothing aligns. It'd be awesome if the default for front and back on the same side was horizonal or at least offer a toggle as this would make that particular setting quite useful.

The site is still a great resource and I figured I'd provide some helpful feedback!

The following is an account of a legacy Star Wars wargaming campaign that my brother and I have designed and completed over the last year. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as we enjoyed playing it!

Why did we do this?

My brother and I play own a lot of different tabletop miniatures games (including things like Hail Caesar, Silver Bayonet, Pillage, Black Seas, and MESBG). We don’t get to play together that often, or for more than a couple of hours, so some games definitely see more play than others. We struggled to find a reason to get some games on the table.

 I first got the idea to create a campaign when I managed to get my hands on a Super Star Destroyer for Star Wars Armada. These are rare and getting rarer, and I was lucky enough to get one at a reasonable price on eBay. I already had a bit of an Armada collection, but I wanted to do the SSD justice.

I’d also just got a Star Wars Legion compatible model of one of our favourite characters, Kyle Katarn. My brother and I loved playing Dark Forces II Jedi Knight back in the 90s, and I was looking forward to painting him, but then started to think about how we could do a campaign using my Star Wars Legion models (with Kyle) leading up to a big space battle using my Armada stuff.

I then remembered that I had a small X-Wing collection that I’d not touched since before Covid, and that felt like a nice bridge between the ground combat of Legion, and the fleet combat of Armada. I found the final piece of the puzzle at the UK Games Expo 2025 in Birmingham, where I picked up a copy of 0200 hours, a WII commando wargame. I realised the rules would work perfectly with a handful of Legion models, and I started to plan!!!

The campaign

The campaign booklet with story, suggested forces, and pages for tracking results is available here - Star Wars Multi-Ruleset Campaign Guide - Shareable.pptx. We played each mission twice, swapping sides each time to have a go at using all the cool models on each side. We found it to be pretty even overall.

I designed a 4 part story, starting with a small commando raid using 0200 hours, then a dog fight using X-Wing, a ground battle with Legion, all leading into a big space battle finale with Armada.

I wanted each mission to influence and impact the future of the campaign, and a few of the objectives are all about the effect they have on the final big battle.

I set the story in the Legends universe, roughly 5/10 years after the Battle of Endor. The New Republic is firmly established, but the Imperial Remnant remains a threat. It’s most coherent with the Legends timeline and stories, but probably does clash somewhat. I also reused the character of Admiral Screed as my main villain, a character than I knew little about, but who happened to be available in Armada.

A lot of the story is as much inspired by the art and pictures I was able to cobble together from various online sources, including comic books, video games and movie stills. I absolutely don’t claim any of the visuals as my own, but am pretty proud of the story, albeit rudimentary, that I have been able to tell.

The armies / fleets in each battle are chosen mostly because they’re what I had in my collection. We did find the SSD to be VERY difficult to take down, and I’d probably adjust the rules to be more in favour of the New Republic in the last battle if we played again. I’m trying to get my hands on a Starhawk which would probably even the odds. We used the latest Legion rules, but stuck to 1.0 for X-Wing as I don’t have any 2.0 in my collection.

I’ve included some pictures from each of the games we played. If you like the look of the church in the 0200 game then check out this post I did last year - Dark age church finished : r/wargaming

What did we learn?

Firstly, it’s great fun to have a reason to get different miniatures games on the table, especially those you don’t always enjoy as much or struggle to find time to play. It breathed some new life into bits of my collection that were gathering dust, and formed some great memories of tight battles with my brother.

I probably found X-wing the easiest game to pick up and play, everything just feels really simple and sensible. We both found the use of keywords excessive in Legion. We spent loads of time constantly looking up keywords during the first battle, and found it much easier when we printed off a custom glossary for the second one.

0200 hours adapted really well to Star Wars, and the mechanics of the sentries on patrol with Stormtroopers was really thematic. I really don’t like the shooting though, so may try a mash-up of 0200 rules with Legion shooting next time. I do also want to try the Legion Special Operations rules too.

Finally

Please do let me know if you run your own version of my campaign, or if this inspires you to do something similar with your own story and rulesets.

I want to say thank you to jocke01 who posted the following on the FFG forum back in 2019. I used their custom Legion profile for Kyle and it worked brilliantly - FFG Forum Archive.

I bought these Clan Wren mandos a couple of years ago just for painting. Now I can run them in GAR I decided to make them Clan Kryze vets. Happy with how the colour scheme looks, now just need to try them in a game.

Painted up a new phase 1 Commander Cody to homogenize him with my new(er) phase 1 early war army. Really been liking 212th lately!

Greenstuff ball neck joint, glowing display screen to match Rex and a metal rod instead of the B1 corpse are the mods on this one.
