The Legion Outriders: A Star Wars Legion Podcast

LJ stops by to talk the Final Four of the Invader League, the rules updates, and recap from Kublacon and Prescott RPQ.

We talk upcoming RPQs, how to get crackle effects on buildings, and have the Rebels fallen behind the Empire in the competitive scene?  

With Invader League Season 3 Elimination Rounds underway, we pretend to know how to analyze the competitive meta. We also take a look at whether Sabine's upgrades are worth taking and who really is "objectively better."  

With the Legion community abuzz with controversy, we address the tough questions on everyone's mind: how was Josh's wedding and when are these new paints available? We will also discuss a recent tournament decision involving a top player and accusations of cheating.    

John and Matt mourn the loss of someone near and dear to their hearts: Peter Mayhew. Oh, and Josh is gone this week. We recap our first game using the new Terrestrial Slipper, look at the new Legion Tournament Circuit website, and finish our March/April/May Madness tournament to pick the best unit in Star Wars Legion.  

The vehicles have arrived, so we take a look at how to use them, how to fight them, and how they make shift the meta. We also talk about how to diversify the terrain at your FLGS, recap our trip to the Scum and Villainy Cantina, and tackle some Q&A's.  

Matt returns from Star Wars Celebration without a Vader, but with lots of stories and we take a look at how newcomers to Star Wars Legion can catch up and how to build your Battle Card deck.  

While Matt geeks out at Star Wars Celebration, John and Josh talk about the newest Imperial announcement...Dewbacks and Shoretroopers! Matt did some recon work for us and gave us the sneak peak of everyone's favorite Civilized Warrior, Obi-Wan Kenobi.   

Josh and Matt are joined by LJ Pena and Nick Freeman to talk about all of the goings-on from this past weekend's Adepticon Last Chance Qualifiers and High Command Invitational, and they'll also take a look at the Occupier tank and X-34 mounted weapons, plus a little look into the efficiency of the AT-ST and the T-47 (yes, it really is as bad as you think.)   As a disclaimer, there is one NSFW word around the 20 minute mark or so, but it's foreshadowed, so you should have plenty of time to skip that before it actually happens!  

The Clone Wars have been revealed! We bask in all the glory of Obi Wan, Gen. Grievous, and the Rolly Bois, discuss the newest upgrade cards for the tank and Terrestrial Slipper, and update our Imperial March Madness brackets.  

Get your brackets together folks, it's time for our first annual Imperial March Madness Tournament! We are pitting our favorite (and overlooked) Legion units against one another in a winner-take-all Battle Royale! Also, we take a look at the recently previewed Krennic Command cards and chat about all of the big Star Wars news. (Old Republic Trilogy anyone???)  

Dust off those snow terrain tables because Legion is going to Hoth! We take a look at the Tauntauns and Rebel Vets and decide if they are worthy of a Josh-rant. Also we talk about the latest Operation kit.    

The FFG team blessed us with a cornucopia of new cards during their live stream, so we take a look what those might mean for the upcoming releases...plus we tackle the user submitted questions.  

The guys take a look back at our first episode and see how our predictions have turned out, discuss the new event-exclusive Vader sculpt, and theorize what it might take to make the T-47 a viable unit.  

Everyone's favorite doomed indie-rock band is now on the shelves, so the guys chat about how to use them (and why John only listens to their earlier stuff.) We also break down the new rules changes and celebrate our 1 year/ 50 episode anniversary!  

Back on schedule after the tournament high starts to wear off. We finally get a chance to tackle the big news of the week: Sabine, Bossk, and the seductively-posed AT-ST expansion. And of course, we welcome back FFG wunderkind Luke Eddy to talk about the inside scoop on Legion.  

The guys sit down (in person!) with L.J. Pena and Nick Freeman to discuss the biggest event in Legion's short history, the Las Vegas Open! We recap what lists won, why this event was so successful, and which Outrider managed to lose to a T-47.  

T-minus 7 days til LVO, and the guys are gearing up! We recap some prep games, discuss the new organized play, and discover Josh's obsession with an obscure Star Wars actor.  

We've got our specialists and now it's time to establish our Command hand before LVO. Do the new command cards rank among the best? Will Standing Orders be dethroned as the only "must have" card in the game? Can John actually count to 5? All these questions will be answered on this week's Legion Outrider Podcast!  

Big news this week! We've got transports, tanks and speeders on the way, we analyze the full spoilers on the Rebel Specialists expansion, and explore the legend of Spleemo Magnetbutt.
