If you’re a Star Wars fan and a tabletop wargaming enthusiast, you’re in luck! I still vividly remember, 20 years ago, how I kitbashed my Warhammer 40K Space Marines, trying to make them look more like Stormtroopers. Of course, I would have preferred having a legitimate Star Wars tabletop wargame instead of kitbashing miniatures and homebrewing 40K rules, but there was just no way back then. Star Wars: Legion is my 20-years-in-the-making dream come true! This game lets you be the commander in battles across a galaxy far, far away. Finally, I can have my own Wookiee Warriors (I guess the Kroot came kind of close, but they were still not the real deal) fighting alongside the rest of my Rebel army. Obviously, if the Imperials, droid Separatists, or Republic clones are more your jam, Legion provides those as well. No matter your choice of army, Legion totally captures the thrill of large-scale Star Wars warfare.             Impression from "Spiel in Essen" 2025...

It's time to get SEA-rious! Today, we’re diving into the “Terror from Below Squad Pack.” Disney has brought us some violent and terrifying sea monsters. You know, besides Ariel and that talking crab.  Riff Tamson, Nossor Ri, and the Aqua Droids make up the new squad. Riff is a Karkaradon who terrorized Mon Cala in the name of the Separatists. Nossor Ri is an opportunistic chieftain of the Quarren. Both are super obscure Separatist characters from a couple of Clone Wars episodes. And I'm all here for it! So let's jump into the shark tank! Riff Tamson Role: Riff is a classic brawler with a vampiric twist. Strengths Good Vampire: When Riff makes a melee attack with his Identity, he gains one extra die for each enemy wounded and/or injured unit within Range 4. That can be a lot of dice “RIFF-diculous,” even! Pretty cool, and it already shows what Riff wants to do. And here's the vampiric twist to it: He also refreshes one Force for each wounded enemy within Range 4. Plus i...

If you're a Star Wars and miniatures wargaming fan, you're living through a golden age! But with great games come difficult choices. The launch of the new edition of Star Wars: Legion has led many wargaming newbies down a rabbit hole. Right now, there are not one but two major Star Wars tabletop games available. Both offer distinct experiences: Star Wars: Legion and Star Wars: Shatterpoint. They’re published by Atomic Mass Games and feature awesome miniatures and exciting gameplay but they differ in scale, mechanics, time investment, and playstyle. So, for players who are on the fence about which game to dive into, we’ve compared them across the most important differences. Join us along the way and may the Force be with you! 1. Large-Scale Wargame vs. Hero Skirmisher Star Wars: Legion is a large-scale wargame, simulating full-blown battles between major factions like the Empire, the Rebel Alliance, the Separatists, and the Republic. Players command entire squads of troops, vehi...

The Mandalorians were a proud and fierce warrior culture, known for their armor made out of Beskar steel and their suberb combat prowess. Now their once thriving empire has whithered away leaving different creeds of Mandalorians scattered throughout the galaxy. Today we shall meet a few of them along the way : the crafty Armorer, the brave Paz Vizsla and the covert Mandalorians. The Armorer a.k.a. the Woman-dalorian Role: Melee Tank with Force-saving Bonus Strengths: Fantastic Force Identity: with “Our survival is our strength” allied Mandos don’t have to spend extra Force for active or reactive abilities when they are wounded or injured. This is the most important ability of the Armorer! Force management wins games, and this makes it significantly easier. Mandos are generally Force-hungry, and this lets them really go wild. Strong Melee Fighter: Up to 9 damage in both stances. In “Strength of the Hammer” she rolls 8 dice with top-tier expertise = at 2+ already 1 Hit, 1 Crit, and a Cr...

Captain Cassian Andor, the determined intelligence officer of the Rebellion has last been seen on the Planet of Ghorman (I thought there's nothing but spiders?!) but now he leads the “All the Way Squad” in Star Wars: Shatterpoint. Together with the reprogrammed Imperial security droid K-2SO and the Rebel Pathfinders, he forms a versatile and thematic team known for covert tactics, sabotage, and precision strikes. Captain Cassian Andor Role: Flexible all-rounder with attrition tendencies. Cassian Andor brings a unique blend of flexibility, strong aggression, and clever tricks to the game. His strengths especially shine when paired with other Rebels and Spies. Strengths Excellent flexibility in list building: With 9 Squad Points, many units can easily be integrated into Andor’s team. Strong tag synergy: Andor is especially effective when paired with other units that have the Rebel or Spy tag. Very strong Revenge ability: “Make ten men feel like a hundred” = When any allied unit beco...
