How To Play Caesar's Legion in Fallout: Wasteland Warfare - Better Know A Faction Review

[@0rphan169]

per usual, the lord of fallout wasteland warfare gracing us with knowledge.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Too kind, my dude! *tips hat, finger guns*

[@extraaccount4930]

It's really odd caesars legion can't use healing powder considering in game they can always be found having healing powder on them it's a little odd hopefully they patch that or something

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Agreed, it's a weird interaction for sure and hope it gets tweaked

[@jphang2950]

Reading this made me chuckle. 😂

[@Yorkington]

I did not know a Fallout TT Wargame existed... I'm extremely interested.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

It’s a good time for sure! There’s also a D&D style Fallout RPG that’s a ton of fun

[@Yorkington]

@@WarGamesNewsRadio If I had money to spare I'd totally look into this and maybe get some NCR models.

[@Nate-ms4be]

Ave, true to Caesar

[@Wookieehair]

I think I am going to struggle not to do Monty Python Life of Brian quotes with this faction "Stwike him centurion! Werry Wroughly!", or "What have the Romans ever done?".

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

hahahaha now I'm going to have the same problem. "The shoe is a sign!"

[@johnherrera5261]

Best faction in two games now

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

I wasn't a fan the first few times I played them, but I have to admit they've grown on me quite a bit!

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

I like that they have a lot of various units. I don't get why other factions don't get the same treatment.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

They have lots of unit options, but are all very specialized compared to their NCR rivals

[@CawmeKrazee]

Now I just want a Caesar figure! ^-^
Watching the vid now. I'm sure it's dope!

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Many thanks! A Caesar model would be awesome - just keep him away from that pesky Auto-Doc!

[@stormhawkdude]

@@WarGamesNewsRadio personally I'm hoping for a Ulysses model so then we can have all 3 former Legates; The Burned Man, The Lonesome Roads Walker, and the Terror of the East.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

@@stormhawkdude Agreed! Ulysses is on my wish list for sure - just think of how cool that duster would be!!!

[@johnherrera5261]

I'm sure we'll get him with other named characters and maybe marked men I really want to see the armor of the 87th tribe on a mini plus we still haven't got the veteran legionaires

[@ivanvolkov1820]

2:27 they sertainly can use healing powder - they are using it in NV.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

True, but not (technically) in FWW - it's a chem item, which the entire faction aren't allowed to use due to their rules. Lots of homebrew folks allow Legion players to use powders though, for exactly that reason.

[@tim4330]

I wonder if it will be updated that they can use healing powder

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

I think it would make sense to let them have access to it. Re-classing healing powder as a "food" item would be a super easy fix.

[@MrAskarani]

Thx for the Review. And ave Caesar of course

[@SarhcBannitoot]

Thanks! Now I know how to crush my friend’s new legion force.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

hahaha happy to have helped! Best bet? Rad damage.

[@eliasakkerman4597]

Linked my buddy to you, your content is wonderful and I like that you share ideas for builds and show the ideal weapon cards with the unit cards, Along with telling us unit costs. That really helps brainstorm builds.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Thanks so much for watching, and for the kind words! Much appreciated for spreading the word - I'm glad y'all are getting some value out of this passion project :)

[@jorgesaenz8986]

They can't use healing powder? Thats like the one thing they make at their camps in game as its a natural remedy not a chem

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

It’s a weird technicality because healing power is a chem item, but I’m hoping this gets fixed so Legion can use it. Doesn’t really make sense otherwise!

[@jorgesaenz8986]

@@WarGamesNewsRadio thank you I'm new to the fallout tabletops migrated from warhamner 40k

[@craiggehlert]

and on top of that..the models are really really good!

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Such great details! Didn't think I'd enjoy them that much but they (might) be even more fun than the NCR!

[@0rphan169]

“If you decide to side with the NCR” lol.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

hahah glad you liked that one ;)

[@robertsarasi392]

I might be mistaken but isn’t the blue dice icon on the scout and Lenius means that they have access to VATS? Rolling at the beginning of their activaton and getting a quick action by rolling a star? Great video anyways!!

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

It's a VATS ability, but it's triggered anytime you roll the corresponding symbol including attacks and skill checks. So using a weapon with a blue die does a lot to increase the usefulness of the ability. And many thanks!

[@robertsarasi392]

@@WarGamesNewsRadio Oh wow! Thanks! That changes things 😅

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

​@@robertsarasi392 I had to go digging through some playtesting forums, but I'm (fairly) certain I've deciphered it correctly. The special effect die is still a bit of a wild card sometimes

[@danroberts007]

War Games News Radio After watching this I had the same question as Robert. I can’t see anywhere in the rulebook or the errata where the situation you describe for the Legion Scout and Lanius, where they need to equip a weapon that rolls a blue effect die in order to get the VATS benefit. If that really is their intent for these models, they need to update the errata. It really looks like they come with VATS baked in on the card.

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

​@@danroberts007 You and @Robert Sarasi in fact correct - I got this one backwards! It's a VATS roll at the start of the turn, not a weapon-triggered effect. The hieroglyphics got me!

[@AmulekkofWOW90]

I want to use the houndmaster with a swarm of mongrels. Would any of the "command: X" perks on him affect the dogs? I'm new and confused how the upgrades work. They all say creature does this, creature does that...but nothing for the dogs? What am I missing?
If I can't use these upgrades for dogs, I may as well make someone a beast master and command a swarm of mirelurks 🤣

[@DatcleanMochaJo]

Very good breakdown

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Many thanks, glad you found the review useful!

[@TheRaccoonTrash]

Quick question: I’m trying to make a dead horse warband with Joshua leading it, do you think Caesar legion is a good fit for proxying or would there be a better faction?

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Absolutely! That would be a fun force to play for sure!

[@WitchHunterSiegfried]

Watching this a bit down the road, has the healing powder thing been fixed?

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

It has not, sadly. Still stuck to using food items to heal up your legion forces

[@radeadcool]

Can you make your own factions? I want Chronaunts jumping around time.

[@kassar7146]

Ah, my favorite group of woman hating, profligate crucifying, NCR murdering rapists in the world!
Interesting vid!
I've played these guys since they came out early last year and still love them but I do hope we get some more characters eventually. Like, sure we have Lanius, who I LOVE, but what's Caesar's Legion without the man himself? The Minutemen got Preston, the Brotherhood got Maxson, the NCR got Oliver and the Enclave got Autumn so why can't the Legion get Caesar, you know?

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Agreed, some more chracter units would go a long way with this faction. Caesar and a named/unique Centurion would be great to see!

[@elliotkeefer-mcgee4480]

Pls I need a minute men review

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Hmmm a Minuteman mini-faction review?! I like it! Consider it added to the list :)

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

Hahaha THIS again! Yes, I've been told I say it incorectly but I've "fixed" it my last few videos. Thanks for watching!

[@rando970guy6]

Institutional discrimination! For real where's the institute video?

[@WarGamesNewsRadio]

It's coming, I swear! It's been crazy-busy launching the 2d20 show, but production is back on track. New battle report out this Friday, and Institute review will be out as soon as I can get it cut

[@Jabbawock1972]

didnt bought cwasars legion...just because i dont like their look. Most chars are good...but Lanius seems just OP..
By the Way...you hould rename this weries...its the best review, but not a "How to play"
