    One thing I think worth mentioning with the 501st is that its 3 sets of the ARC trooper expansion so it gives not only 3 full squads but 3 strike teams too, enough to fill out a standard list's SF slots with either. Def agree on the LAAT/LE build instructions, at least one of the smaller pieces straight up isn't shown where it goes, just suddenly is on the model in the diagrams. I think R2 is a solid addition to a cody list since cody wants to have vehicles, and adding 3po can help give out tokens to either your clones for sharing, or vehicles. The dodge might not do much (unless its a saber), but 70 points for potential 4 extra health and consistent extra aims on a vehicle is solid. Getting the secret mission point is a bit hard with his speed 1 tho and dedicating a laat for transport is a bit much compared to say an x-34 on rebels.

    Got the Core set and my brother bought the Infantry Platform because he's always loved that vehicle and was surprised to see it... They pair up insanely well with the Clone Troopers and the Infantry Platform is cheaper than the T Battle Tank (points and money wise). Not to mention the Fire Support Mechanic plays in nicely with the Platform. Anyway, it's a quick buy to give yourself a heck of an edge... The firepower and gunslinger ability on the weaponry works well too... I speak as a CIS player with the core set's droids and a squad of B2 battle droids to deal with my brother's Infantry Platform, it's very hard to deal with haha

    I feel as well as pointing out the print errors in the 501st Legion Battle Force Box, you should also point out that some genius at AMG wrote rules that allow 4 Special Forces in a list, but only included 3 Special Forces order tokens. Also mine and others I've seen didn't come with flight stands for the Arc Troopers, and despite the UK still having a parts department the waste of space Asmodee UK seem to be 12 weeks on still haven't rectified this. It's great to spend all that cash and have miniatures I cannot use.

You can get a full 9-10 activation list with two SC start let boxes and GAR is going to be a little more expensive to get into, but it’s very much like Crabbok suggests it’s what you like and want to play/have as a collection and you can always branch out and build multiple armys

    trying to get into legion after years of following it, but before i know what to buy i have an stupid question: i´m buying it to play with a friend and that´s it, no tournaments no anything, just to play it at home with one copy of each core set and a bunch of expansions, even if we make big games with a lot of points, even if we follow the rules and stick to 500-800-1600 points, there´s one thing bothering us, which is mixing phase 1 and 2 troopers on the battlefield so we were thinking.. since we´re not compiting anywhere, can we get a bunch of phase 2 clone troopers, save their cards, and just use the rules for the phase 1 clones with the phase 2 minis, considering we´ll also have captain rex, commander cody, arc troopers and stuff like that on the battlefield? or would that be too confusing and illegal even for a fun, chill game night at home? maybe 3d printed minis from etsy would be better? give me your opinion and best advice on that if you can! thanks and amazing videos, very helpfull for new players!
