It’s the Weekend!
Are they called Squats because their arse and thigh muscles are massive and they can clean & jerk heavy metal objects?

In my mind, Tales from the Loop has to be set in Sweden not the US. That’s where Simon Stålenhag grew up in the Malaren Islands, just South-west of Stockholm. Look at the game map and you’ll see it’s almost identical to the real islands with a few names changed. I understand the commercial reason why Fria Ligen created a parallel setting ín the US for those lacking the imagination to live elsewhere. Similar reasons to why Tom Cruise’s War of the Worlds wasn’t set just outside Woking. The main reason I gave up on the TV series. But if… Read more »

So much from animated Star Wars can be added to Legion… Ahsoka, Bad Batch, Rebels and numerous bounty hunters.

I’ve only dipped my toe into Legion when it was on offer, but the Shadow Collective lured me in and it’s preordered. Looking forwards to more Scum and Villainy…

just pray you can get it at all …
I wanted to like the game, but the momentum was quickly lost once I realised practically nothing was available in webshops.

Happy weekend all,
I hope its filled with gumdrops and lollipops and the greatest movie ever made.

who needs a golden button when they’ve got the greatest movie ever made ?
Isn’t that reward enough ? 😉

the golden button and I are one. that is the secret

@brennon On Star Wars: Legion. After the Shadow Collective next up is the 40th of Return Of The Jedi next year… so I guess there will be those. Ewoks where already confirmed by AMG. And then there will be the Battleforce PDFs up “soonish”. Also a new homepage by AMG is en route for may (according to Asmodee Germany who had a long talk with AMG)

Ah cheers for the update!

and the 64000$ question : will they ship stuff at regular intervals or will we be gambling on wether or not anything is available at retail at all ?

I think that remains to be seen…

I think Flags of War are also going to be doing a KS for Border Reivers this year too.

they are, I have them, but I figured there was no point in talking about something that hasn’t happened yet and doesn’t have a firm date

Yo Yo Yo its weekender time COGz

My favourite miniature is Bellenah.

I am in the Gerry school of 3D printing
until someone designs realistic men and women from the past.
Let see who will produce a Romanian WW1 army.

Yay Gerry does fun with flags.

so Justin shots is a thing now then?

@brennon and @avernos Rook Kast appeared in the Clone Wars series 7 the siege of mandalore arc (Final 4 episodes) also rumoured the Armourer is Rook Kast. Gar Saxon’s first appeared in Rebels and they added him in the same story arc as Rook.

The only live-action appearance of anything from the shadow collective was the Pyke Syndicate in the book of boba and it’s not said who they work for as during this Star Wars period Maul (has been for over a decade) and his criminal empire is gone.
