We missed a week but we're back! No Jeff but we do have a 'voice from the past' join us as we talk about current events, Star Wars news, some hobby chat, and a quick game recap and how much better Ninja Warrior would be with Jedi involved.
Also here's the products we reference during the show: https://6upsupply.com/
Hey Outriders, we're back again with another episode. News is still slow (which we understand given the state of worldly events), but we did get in a few games this week and dust off our models.
We briefly recap about our games, I FINALLY started putting paint on models again, and we do something unusual by discussing tactics. Mostly it's Dan and I going over our preferred load-outs and play-style for Iden/Dio and Cassian/K-2SO as we expect to see them hitting everyone's tables in the coming weeks.
Stay safe Outriders, and we'll see you in 2 weeks for the next episode.
It's good to record some live content. Restrictions have been eased, so while keeping precautions in mind, we met for a 500 point game and recording session. We talk about the our TTS experiences and the newly leaked Cad Bane cards.
Hoping things are shifting back to normal, stay safe Outriders.
In this episode, hosts Matt, Dan, and Jeff discuss announced release dates through September. Dan and Jeff talk about using TTS to get a remote game in and how Iden Versio and Cassian/K-2SO performed.
We go over the details for the newly announced Line of Sight Silhouette Template and share our thoughts. Lastly we chat about some changes to tournament scoring and a few updates made to the tournament rules.
Stay safe, Outriders. Cassian said I had to.
(You'll have to indulge me on this episode's title. I've been watching a lot of The Good Place lately.)
In this episode of the Legion Outriders, hosts Matt, Dan, and Jeff discuss the upcoming Star Wars: Legion Vital Assets expansion, how the new Battle Cards affect our decisions during army building, and which cards we do and don't like the look of.
Also, Dan also gushes over Inferno Squad and Gideon Hask, Jeff prepares to fire up the painting forge for Clan Wren helmets, and Matt finally decides to STAP. (We also talk about AT-RTs, I just couldn't think of clever segue.)
Lastly, a long range transmission came through and we made a small update to our intro/outro segments.
With everything that's happening in the world right now, it feels like we're watching an episode of Black Mirror that hits too close to home. On the brighter side of things, FFG has been consistent with Star Wars: Legion news, articles, and live streams of new units coming out. We took sit down to discuss what we like about Cassian & K2SO and Iden & ID10, and all the awesome things they'll hopefully bring to both sides of the table.
Thanks Outriders for supporting the podcast, stay healthy, and we'll see you in two weeks!
Hey Outriders, welcome back to another episode. It's been an eventful two weeks. Jeff returns from Batuu and Rise of the Resistance with a brief spoiler-free insight about the new Disneyland ride.

Lastly, we finally got a freshly updated Rules Reference Guide from FFG.
Join us while we have a chat about Star Wars: Legion.
Now there are two of them! John tags in while Matt's not feeling great. This was a fun episode to record, we had so much to discuss. A light sprinkling of Star Wars news at the beginning, some discussion about both tanks that are right around the corner, and units we've had a change to play with recently.
And oh yes...those sweet treats that FFG dropped on us. We talk about Cad Bane, Padme, BX series droids, and ARC troopers. Thanks for listening and we'll be recording again on February 29th.

As a disclaimer, there is one NSFW word around the 20 minute mark or so, but it's foreshadowed, so you should have plenty of time to skip that before it actually happens!

T-minus 7 days til LVO, and the guys are gearing up! We recap some prep games, discuss the new organized play, and discover Josh's obsession with an obscure Star Wars actor.
We've got our specialists and now it's time to establish our Command hand before LVO. Do the new command cards rank among the best?

After stuffing ourselves with Rogue One News and Thanksgiving meals, we jump right into our Christmas wish list, Josh breaks down his actual list for LVO, and we announce our monthly Patreon raffle winners!
With Thanksgiving upon us, the Outriders recorded early, and what a time to record ahead of schedule! Fantasy Flight blessed us with a bounty of great news, confirming the Jyn Erso/Rebel Pathfinders leak AND dropping a new rules reference that fixes Key Positions and adds a a ton of insight into the upcoming Specialists release.
We talk about whether or not Key Positions should be used in competitive play, talk about our first draft LVO lists, and finally, bust out the salt, because we got some BIG rumors.
We're back, and with news! Today we talk about how to field Emperor Palpatine and his Royal Crayolas, which of the newest upgrade cards is going to have the greatest impact, and how to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In honor of the greatest holiday known to mankind, the guys talk about specific battlefield roles for Legion units and recount the clash of the titans when Matt and Josh made their latest Long March. Also, we announce the latest winners of our Patreon drawings!
So, we haven't really done an episode that focused on the hobby side of things for a good long while, so this week we figured we'd do JUST a hobby episode! Josh has a new 3d printer, so he's been slowly cranking out some terrain pieces for around the store, John's been painting them up, and Matt just revels in the free stuff. So, the two J's opine on build quality and the general 3d printing experience. We've also got an interview with Dave Lawson from Imperial Terrain to get a pro's views on 3d printing and where it slots into the community at large.
Invader League organizer LJ Pena stops by Power 9 to get a game in and talk to us about the upcoming Las Vegas Open. Also this week the guys take a look at the new specialist card reveal and talk about the upcoming emplacement weapons.
The guys explore some options for creating narrative in Star Wars Legion, we look at how Scout teams and Boba Fett perform on the table, and speaking of mandalorians, we nerd out over the new TV series and what that might bring for the future.
Boba Fett is finally here! Plus Josh gets his first game in using the terrorist Rebels, while John puts his fascist jack-boot Imperial forces on the table in a "Freaky Friday" role-reversal game. Finally, we announce the winners of our very first Patreon monthly drawing.
John returns from the frozen abyss, and balance has returned to the force! The reunited gang shares their ideas for new operative units, reveals their thoughts on the Scout Troopers, and speculate on the importance of scenario selection in tournament games.
