The Legion Outriders: A Star Wars Legion Podcast

The guys discuss whether the Specialists should be legal at LVO, how your friendly local game store can effect the Legion community, and John eulogizes an FFG favorite with his rendition of Sarah McLaughlin. Sad reacts only.

We ring in the New Year with Legion Hero and Impact X founder Nick Freeman, as he shares his new campaign supplement, Gathering Legions. He also talks Leia/Han/Chewie and the proper way to use Palp.  

Happy Holidays from the Outriders! We recap our first games with the Wookiees and talk about the Prison Break scenario, debate who was the best bounty hunter not named Boba Fett, and announce the winners of this month's Patreon drawings.  

Laugh it up, fuzzballs...the Wookies are here! We also wrap about the new OP kits, new theme missions, and what role Nick Nolte could play in the new TV series.  

The guys debate whether or not a melee-centric list is viable, what the future holds for organized play, and discuss how the latest errata is shaping competitive play.  

It was a big news week for Star Wars Legion, so we've got plenty to talk about: is Chewie everyone's BFF? Are Veers and Krennic the new Wonder Twins? Will we ever find Josh's restraining bolt? These questions, and more, will be answered on this week's Legion Outrider Podcast!  

After stuffing ourselves with Rogue One News and Thanksgiving meals, we jump right into our Christmas wish list, Josh breaks down his actual list for LVO, and we announce our monthly Patreon raffle winners!

With Thanksgiving upon us, the Outriders recorded early, and what a time to record ahead of schedule!  Fantasy Flight blessed us with a bounty of great news, confirming the Jyn Erso/Rebel Pathfinders leak AND dropping a new rules reference that fixes Key Positions and adds a a ton of insight into the upcoming Specialists release.  

We talk about whether or not Key Positions should be used in competitive play, talk about our first draft LVO lists, and finally, bust out the salt, because we got some BIG rumors.  

We're back, and with news! Today we talk about how to field Emperor Palpatine and his Royal Crayolas, which of the newest upgrade cards is going to have the greatest impact, and how to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In honor of the greatest holiday known to mankind, the guys talk about specific battlefield roles for Legion units and recount the clash of the titans when Matt and Josh made their latest Long March. Also, we announce the latest winners of our Patreon drawings!  

So, we haven't really done an episode that focused on the hobby side of things for a good long while, so this week we figured we'd do *JUST* a hobby episode!  Josh has a new 3d printer, so he's been slowly cranking out some terrain pieces for around the store, John's been painting them up, and Matt just revels in the free stuff.  So, the two J's opine on build quality and the general 3d printing experience. We've also got an interview with Dave Lawson from Imperial Terrain to get a pro's views on 3d printing and where it slots into the community at large.  

Invader League organizer LJ Pena stops by Power 9 to get a game in and talk to us about the upcoming Las Vegas Open. Also this week the guys take a look at the new specialist card reveal and talk about the upcoming emplacement weapons.  

The guys explore some options for creating narrative in Star Wars Legion, we look at how Scout teams and Boba Fett perform on the table, and speaking of mandalorians, we nerd out over the new TV series and what that might bring for the future.  

Boba Fett is finally here! Plus Josh gets his first game in using the terrorist Rebels, while John puts his fascist jack-boot Imperial forces on the table in a "Freaky Friday" role-reversal game. Finally, we announce the winners of our very first Patreon monthly drawing.  

John returns from the frozen abyss, and balance has returned to the force! The reunited gang shares their ideas for new operative units, reveals their thoughts on the Scout Troopers, and speculate on the importance of scenario selection in tournament games.

With NOVA wrapped up, it's kind of a lull in the Legion-verse...in this episode Josh and Matt talk to 2018 NOVA Open Max Firepower 1st place finisher Matt Dunn, discuss a rumor about the Scout Trooper sniper rifle, and recap one of the local Legion events in Las Vegas. Not a lot of hard news, but we hope you'll be entertained nevertheless. 

So, we're pushing this episode a little bit later because we had a really great interview lined up for Thursday, and life (and Louisiana bridge traffic) had a different idea.  So, instead of pushing out half an episode, we thought it was best to delay to give you guys the best content possible! In this episode, we take a look at some of the winning lists from NOVA Open, chat about the preview article for the upcoming release of everyone's favorite bounty hunter (yes, it's IG-88) and we have a great talk with Jeremiah "RoadDog" Chamberlain, one of the judges for GenCon 2018. Also, we're happy to announce in this show that we've finally launched our Patreon effort!  Check it out at https://www.patreon.com/legionoutriders.      

Matt, Josh and John play around with Han Solo, talk about the state of commanders in the game, and discuss some ways to make your terrain at home a little more interesting.  

The guys finally get their hands on Han and the Rebel Commandos, they debate how Pruneface lost an eye, and discuss whether the supply of Legion products is meeting the demand.
