    Shatterpoint is a new, separate game from Legion.

    It’s uh…entirely hero focused. The scale is different as well, it’s 40mm like Marvel Crisis Protocol. Bigger minis, but fewer of them on a board and each mini looks to have more intricate stats and abilities, which again makes me think of MCP.

    I have a friend trying to get me into it but I’m like bruv, I JUST painted all these Legion models.

      I just had a quick look. Yea, that is unfortunately exactly the direction I dislike in core Legion already. I think it’s a fine direction for a spin off game though and has the potential to play better than Legion.

      What troops do you have? Because I had the feeling that the more troops I bought the less tactics I could employ and the less fun I had. We even build a small Tatooine space port and got really into making sure our minis were looking the best they could but we could never quite make the gameplay work out for us.

        I tend to buy the models I like first and then cobble together lists second. I’ve got scouts, speeder bikes, Vader, Boba Fett, and Stormtroopers.

          I see. Good looking Boba for sure. So do you mostly collect or do you also play?

            I mostly collect but I do play. 1 win, multiple losses. Only played a few Legion games since it’s not super popular at FLGS. Currently Marvel Crisis Protocol (which I do play) and Conquest (which I don’t play) are the current flavors of the month. Alongside the eternal Warhammer (which I am not touching the current edition of).
