I love seeing different miniatures games on the channel, not just 40k. This game looks really intriguing and is a great switch-up with a narrative twist. Please keep up the great work!
The Separatists have become my main, mostly because General Grievous and Commando Droids are amazing. However, I will say, I didn't appreciate the standard B1 until I realized they make excellent cannon fodder to march down the middle of the board drawing fire and being a nuisance while Grievous and the Commandos do the heavy lifting.
Great to see Legion getting more online exposure, especially from you folks. It's a fantastic game, with a deceptively simple yet actually extremely deep rules system with all sorts of interesting twists that add depth in ways you might not initially expect or perceive. And the best thing about it is that all the rules are available online for free. They even answer rules questions on their forums more or less in real time (i.e. you don't have to wait 6 months for a FAQ ) with answers that become official rulings. It's such a breath of fresh air if you're used to the GW "you will pay us hundreds of dollars a year for rules, and you'll be grateful for it!" attitude. That's not to say it's perfect - the rules are free to view, but to actually use them in tournaments, you may need to buy cards that are sometimes only available in mini boxes you might not want except for the cards, which feels lame - they released a card pack a while ago, but it's way out of date now, and they don't seem interested in keeping it current. And although you'd expect tight balance from a game with only 4 factions, it often hasn't been great (though it's certainly no worse than 40k). But these are minor quibbles. The one thing I will say that is legitimately disappointing about the game is the quality of the original wave of minis, some of which are frankly a bit derpy, and most of which are very monopose with essentially no customization. The recent releases have gotten much better, both in terms of quality and potential for customization. Hopefully they will go back and fix up the originals at some point.
I’m confused about one of the rules about units if you have a group do you have to pay for each individual member of the group or do they all count as one cost
I'm so glad that you guys are doing Star Wars Legion. You guys have the best production value of any other tabletop wargaming channel, and my favorite wargame deserves the love you guys are giving it.
This couldn't come at a better time! Great video! Just got my hands on a starter set and some heroes. Seems Legion is getting a lot of love across youtube right now!
Would you consider doing a full rules video? As you're so good at explaining them 😅Me and a friend have just brought this and sometimes seeing rules being explained in action makes more sense than re reading rules 6 times before you know whats going on 😅
Thanks for putting this out, I've done the learning scenario a couple times now, and I still felt like I wasn't getting everything about the game. Great battle-report as well to Nick and Steve.
This is my favorite tabletop game!!! I love the aesthetic of warhammer, but I just always find myself enjoying legion better. The rules are so refined and easy. You can have complex activations with easy to remember rules. Love the way they implement armor and anti-armor weapons. Everything feels so clean.
I can tell you filmed this after playing your first game, because I hear the same excitement I had after finishing my first game this past Sunday! Great video, and excited to see SWL growing!
So awesome to see Star Wars Legion. I am just getting into it and these videos are such great motivation. Its also great to see the Play On guys try it out. I have met a few of them they are great dudes.
This is the first time I hear of this. I used to play Warmachine/Hordes, but I've since given it up. I'm going to start playing Middle Earth SBG & I'm definitely playing this!! NICE!!
That seems to make getting suppression tokens surprisingly good though, doesn't it? Even if actually suppressed, your shooting seems less affected than your survivability is improved. And high courage makes it even better!
Hey Play On guys, recently picked up the Legion starter set cuz I love war gaming and miniature painting but have fallen out of love with 40k’s gameplay. Legion is hands down my new fav TT war game, thanks so much for introducing me to the game, you guys are amazing keep up the work!!!
I really miss the Tau battles video. Hope they come back soon) tau and S.marines VS some overwhelming power of thousand sons or grey Knight would be interesting to see. Bullet against magic!
Very helpful video as I'm planning a Star Wars Legion getting started series on my channel using the civil war core set and I'm trying to figure out how best to introduce and cover certain aspects and rules.
Hey guys. Thanks for the awesome videos. This is going to sound crazy, but I randomly showed up to a 500 pt. Star Wars Legion tournament yesterday and managed to go 3-0 without letting my opponents score a single victory point. I created a fun list using my friend's models, and up until the tournament my only knowledge about the game was the material from your videos. Seriously. No models. Had never read the rulebook... just sort of showed up and kicked ass. Ended up winning the store exclusive limited edition Luke Skywalker! Thanks!
My friend and I are playing through the narrative scenarios from the Escape Pod, Downed AT-ST, and Bunker sets. I think that you could do some AMAZING work with those scenarios on the channel!
Could we get more Star Wars legion please! I love your 40K but lately Star Wars Legion and Conquest have been so much fun to dive into! I’d love to see the battle of Utapau or Felicia!
Amazing! It's funny, I actually learned these rules from the fantasy wargame "song of blades and heroes" which this activation and movement sets are sourced from. Quite a fun alternative to warhammer's massive confusion.
I know it's just one instance, but the Legion Battle Report got me to sign up for the patreon for early access to the video. haha Typically I wait until the 40k ones come out on TH-cam, but I couldn't wait for the Legion one. Hope y'all are able to do Legion reports!
Great idea for battreps if gw will try to use their banhammer on your content. I'll definitely take a look, but if Mandalorians will release, it Will be a no brainer buy from my part. Thx for the game introduction.
Great Work! Please keep up the Legion love! Would love to see you guys build a felucia table or maybe a scenario based on the krayt dragon episode of the Mandalorian! (There are fantastic 3d files for the dragon and the heroes available from a well known community hero) :)
Repulsor vehicles by default don't have compulsory movement, they gain it with some keywords like speeder, as the typical case. But awesome guide, Im pretty happy Play On is entering in SWL as I recently entered and find it super awesome game. Not related but happy to see in general other wargames being played, I recently entered Conquest with a friend because of the battle report made here... so awesome. Thanks for the great content.
could you provide a link for those laser muzzle effects for the miniatures? those look really sick and would like to put some on the ATST as well as Darth Vader reflecting laser blast like in SW-VI. Thanks in advanced.
Would like to see clone wars stuff or heck mix and match eras battle droids vs stormtroopers would be interesting or even clones vs rebels for the early days of the empire would be cool.
Nick and friends, what are some more specific rules on legion in regards to which particular models you are allowed to have in a corp. per say if I wanted to run black sun enforcers can I just have a lot of the scatter gun models since I think they look the coolest or do I need the black sun vigo and its whole squad. Basically do I need a vigo in the corp with enforcers or could i hypothetically have five scatter gun models? I hope this qeustion came out understandable thanks for all y’all’s content I super enjoy it and it helps with my depression! Thanks guys genuinely
@@PlayOnTabletop awesome, me and my friend are looking for a new game to play when we are bored and my birthday is coming up so as a gift to my self I might get one of the starter sets and a troop pack. So that way me and my friend can play.
Operative Luke vs the new and improved operative Vader is what i wanna see. Oh, a few wookies on one side and Imperial Royal Guard on the other wouldn't hurt ;)

Lets see the Droid Army! Hordes of B1s and B2s supported by heavy Armour is always a treat to see! Maybe even some Lightsaber wielding folks?👀
The infamous aleks picture, cultured man
@@isaac3963 ah yes, i see you're a man of culture as well.
My memory has just been reactivated
The Separatists have become my main, mostly because General Grievous and Commando Droids are amazing.

BIG NOTICE: Recovering removes all suppression, not just one. This makes it really strong against certain army lists

We hope to!
One starterbox and you are ready to play! Never been easier and cheeper. Try you must.
@@mmpkao dew it!
@@mmpkao No. Do or do not. There is no "try".
Love legion, it is so much fun to play and so easy to get into it.
Really enjoy your channel guy's, keep it up. May the force be with you!
Thanks for putting this out, I've done the learning scenario a couple times now, and I still felt like I wasn't getting everything about the game. Great battle-report as well to Nick and Steve.
so much cool battles to be reimagined and played: geonosis, hoth, endor, saleucami... in fact the clone wars serie is so inspiring ;)

So awesome to see Star Wars Legion. I am just getting into it and these videos are such great motivation. Its also great to see the Play On guys try it out. I have met a few of them they are great dudes.
Love the scenery guys brilliant effects.
Fantastic game! Please do more! This game deserves way more coverage
Maaan how I love your format of short videos! Thanks for your incredible work!
What blaster modeling bits did you use for the shooting effect? Those look great
I just played the "learning game" last night. So far I like it! It's very intuitive and plays quick.
This is the first time I hear of this. I used to play Warmachine/Hordes, but I've since given it up. I'm going to start playing Middle Earth SBG & I'm definitely playing this!! NICE!!
I like how cover is so directly useful. Removing one hit feels so much more rewarding than getting hit a little bit harder.
That seems to make getting suppression tokens surprisingly good though, doesn't it? Even if actually suppressed, your shooting seems less affected than your survivability is improved. And high courage makes it even better!
@@Muenni Let‘s hope the guys play some more games of this to see how it‘ll balance out.
@@tohafi yeah, I'm sure they will! And I'm looking forward to see more such beautiful tables again!
Thank you for this im trying to get my friend into this game and this is the perfect intro for him
This is awesome thank you for trying new things as it really paid off
This game looks fun. Thanks for the tutorial!

I was originally scared because of the punctuation but little did I know this would be fun! Thank you playon!
This video literally just got them a sale. love it

Amazing! It's funny, I actually learned these rules from the fantasy wargame "song of blades and heroes" which this activation and movement sets are sourced from. Quite a fun alternative to warhammer's massive confusion.
Can you do a video on A Song of Ice and Fire Miniature Game?
Ooh! That’s a fun game! Maybe?
Such a beautiful table. Thanks for the video.
I'm 30 seconds in and I can already tell this video is going to make me want to paint Star Wars Legion forces.
Loved the battle report. Looking forward to more Legion content I've been really hoping to see fresh content on it on youtube
I just got this today as birthday gift I’m so happy and got the AT - ST
Holy smokes! That table is amazing
I know it's just one instance, but the Legion Battle Report got me to sign up for the patreon for early access to the video. haha
Typically I wait until the 40k ones come out on TH-cam, but I couldn't wait for the Legion one.
Hope y'all are able to do Legion reports!
Thanks! We really appreciate the support!
Can't wait for more!!! MOOOOOOORRRRRREEEE!! Hoth is possible!!!
Thanks guys. A friend and I are considering splitting the Clone Wars box set.
Hello there! When will you drop the next video on Legion? I’m all kinds of excited!
Please make more episodes with Legion! First match was awesome
Loved this video but I also really liked the conquest videos you did a while ago. Any news when a new episode of that might come out?
Possibly later this week?
@@PlayOnTabletop
I already bought some super battle droids! I am gonna try and get this going in my area, ty for the video!
So well done! Thank you - also for the battle report!
I see what you're doing in the background there 😏 p.s thanks for getting me and my brother hooked into legion, it's such a blast!
Something other than 40k! Hooray!!
Cool video man , easy to digest and fast.
seems like a great introductory game to get people into to TTWG
Amazing! Any chance we might see battletech alpha strike grace your tables?
nice video, i subscribed. there is a board game store close to my house here in Paris, never played these games before... i will check it out
Clear and concise. Nicely done!
for the greater good !
I would love to see some clone wars games, the battle of Geonsosis or Kashyyk would be amazing :)
Where do you get the dice separately I can only get the rulers ?
You can get an essential kit.
Great idea for battreps if gw will try to use their banhammer on your content. I'll definitely take a look, but if Mandalorians will release, it Will be a no brainer buy from my part. Thx for the game introduction.
Empiere at War in reallife. Really nice game Star Wars legions is.
I’ve been trying to learn how to play this game for literal years… this is the most sense it’s made. Thank you guys so much! Excited to try this out
Great introduction for folks familiar with table top games or more in-depth board gaming. This video should have done better. Great work guys.
MORE LEGION!!!!!
Awesome video! One correction - Recover removes all suppression, not just one!
Great Work! Please keep up the Legion love! Would love to see you guys build a felucia table or maybe a scenario based on the krayt dragon episode of the Mandalorian! (There are fantastic 3d files for the dragon and the heroes available from a well known community hero) :)
Would love to see you guys play marvel crisis protocol
Funny you should say that…
@@PlayOnTabletop oh shoot !! 😳 Can't wait !!
More Legion please 🙏
I need to decide whether I go for the Clone Wars or GCW core set…difficult to decide…
It is!
Very nice review, thank you!

Not related but happy to see in general other wargames being played, I recently entered Conquest with a friend because of the battle report made here... so awesome. Thanks for the great content.
Where did you get the blaster effect bits? Wow! They make the game even more thematic.
if you do a campaign you can do a galactic conquest
That would be fun!
I love this combat system, now just have to actually find people to play it with.
I love legion, please do more batreps!
Hello PlayOn,
Would a 3 way or even 4 way game/battle be possible?
Please Play Titan Forge’s BloodFields🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
out of curiosity when will we see more sw legion games ?
Almost finished editing the next one!
@@PlayOnTabletop nice one lads looking forward to it :)
Can you do a how to play kill team?
wow... just wow! Excellent
could you provide a link for those laser muzzle effects for the miniatures? those look really sick and would like to put some on the ATST as well as Darth Vader reflecting laser blast like in SW-VI. Thanks in advanced.
You can find the link in the description! They are currently doing a Kickstarter and you can get a ton for a good price!
Boy I need a skirmish version of this Star Wars game now. 🤔
Such a fun game. Love it.

Bro that map is sick! I don't understand this fully, but I have a friend who knows and he can teach me. Any suggestions on how to make terrain??
I bought the Cad Bane expansion and he now sits on my desk with Bossk and boba
Great stuff. Next time you guys gotta use Boba Fett!
Beautiful!
Can you mix units together like for example fleet troopers with the Wookiee or does it depend on what scenario or scene of the battle?
Your are able to mix yep!

Where can you get the blaster effects (the little red burst ) ?
I love this game but I don’t have time for the hobbling part. I wish they made pre painted versions. I’d pay a little extra for it
SOOOO excited to see you all taking on Legion.
Hope they do a hoth battle or a battle in a city
