NokDrayen got a reaction from Derrault in New Rebel Vehicle Leaked
Besides its size on the game table, another thing to consider about the AT-AT is just how powerful it is.
The Rebels managed to take down several AT-ATs during the Battle of Hoth. But blaster fire from 2 squadrons of snow speeders (including up to 12 attack craft each), DF.9 turrets, 1.4 FD laser cannons and Rebel troopers was almost completely ineffective against the armored walkers.
Meanwhile, the AT-AT's quad laser cannons could destroy a speeder, turret or laser cannon with a single shot. They also blew up the deflector shield generator protecting Echo Base.
In other words, it's conceivable that a single AT-AT could easily handle an entire Legion army by itself (maybe even several of them). How would you balance this unit for gameplay? What would just one of them cost?

NokDrayen got a reaction from twincast in New Rebel Vehicle Leaked
It's probably been posted here before, but this is a truly epic game table for the Battle of Hoth. Created by Beasts of War for the Salute 2015 convention in the UK. The game was designed for 10 players: 6 commanders on the Rebel side, 4 for the Empire. The forces included 4 AT-ATs, 8 AT-STs and 6 snow speeders. I think everything except the AT-ATs are WotC Star Wars Miniatures. I couldn't find the size of the table, but it looks like 4x12.

I kinda like the A-A5 speeder truck. The Rebels had to make do with what they could get their hands on. Repurposing an ugly heavy cargo transport fits perfectly. Sources disagree on just how big it is — one says it carries a complement of 12, another cites 25. This could actually give Legion the flexibility to size it appropriately for the game.
As for the AT-AT, I'd love to see it. But I think it's best reserved for special large-scale battles, not everyday play. This was a weapon system designed for planetary invasions. While sources vary, a single AT-AT could carry somewhere around 40 troops. And the Empire brought at least 6 of them to the Battle of Hoth, in addition to numerous AT-STs.
Below is the Star Wars Miniatures AT-AT from WotC on what looks to be a 4x6 table. The base of the AT-AT is 18" long. If it starts the game on table (it should pretty much be able to start firing from the next room), it's got practically nowhere to go.

Deathwatch Warriors (3)
Dwarf Spider Droid (3)
Other
Some sort of scum/mercenary units or faction (6)
Inquisitors would be a great addition to the Empire. I'd like to see Mud Troopers, as well. Nothing else stands out to me as a must-have. For the Rebels, yes to the Ghost crew, Lando and Saw's Partisans. I don't collect Republic or Separatist factions.
But I'm most looking forward to scum and villainy. The Ohnaka gang would be fantastic. You could throw almost anything in here: thugs, pirates, mercenaries, assassins and bounty hunters; WLO-5 speeder tanks and desert skiffs; Weequay, Nikto, Bith, Ishi Tib, the more alien species the better. The Hutt Cartel, Crimson Dawn or the Zann Consortium could work, as well.

NokDrayen got a reaction from Tahl in What would you like to see from Edge Studios?
Lords of Nal Hutta is my favorite "era" book. It really helps bring Hutt Space to life.
I'd love to see another criminal faction or organization get the same treatment: Crimson Dawn, Black Sun, Crymorah, the Pyke Syndicate, et cetera. (Or all of them, actually.)
How did the organization get its start? Who are the most important figures? What are their goals and motivations? Where do they have a presence within the galaxy? Are they expanding or in decline? What's life like within the organization and for those around them? What activities do they focus on? Who are their main rivals? How do they interact/conflict with the Empire and other criminal factions?
Think about what makes the Five Families, Sinaloa Cartel or Yakuza unique and compelling. Detailing similar organizations from the Star Wars universe could help create countless interesting campaigns.

NokDrayen got a reaction from twincast in Skull Forge Studios is selling 3D prints of The Bad Batch in Legion scale
By the way, a "forger" is someone who produces a fake and attempts to pass it off as the real thing.
So the term doesn't apply to Skull Forge at all — unless they start copying existing Star Wars Legion miniatures and selling them (along with packaging, bases, assembly instructions and cards) as if they were actual FFG products.

NokDrayen got a reaction from twincast in Skull Forge Studios is selling 3D prints of The Bad Batch in Legion scale
Really? Skull Forge is a "forger" because their miniatures are based on Star Wars creations? Then I guess the same goes for every online seller that offers terrain based on set designs for Tatooine, Hoth, Jedha, etc. That would include Corvus Games, Gale Force 9, Imperial Terrain, Legion Terrain, Tosche Station Terrain and literally dozens of others.
https://corvusgamesterrain.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=desert*
https://www.flamesofwar.com/gf9online_store.aspx?CategoryID=13738
https://imperialterrain.com/collections/sci-fi-rpg-tabletop-terrain/desert-theme
https://www.legionterrain.com/search?q=desert
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ToscheStationTerrain?ref=cart_shop_name_click&cart_id=2838435223&search_query=jedha
None of these are officially licensed. But they all add to the Star Wars Legion play experience, making the game richer and drawing in new players. In fact, FFG has actually promoted companies like this — for instance, using Tatooine buildings from Imperial Terrain and others at conventions.
Alternate miniatures are the same. If FFG or Disney thought any of these efforts were hurting sales or profits in the least, rather than helping them, they'd bring down the legal hammer.
