On the Legion podcasts they were all saying you probably only needed about five boxes of Ewoks. The Bright Tree build with Chewie in the AT-ST is the main build, they said. NO. These people are wrong. You want a SWARM of murder bears, all creeping relentlessly towards your foes, 13 activations of mostly cover 3, mostly units of 6-8 models, refusing to be shot off the table, edging ever nearer with their slings or their Pierce one red die axe guy plus tenacity in among their bristling spears. Paint them with white bellies! Paint them stripey! Paint up a zoo!

I bought nine packs, and though in most cases I’ll only ever play 8 at once, I have zero regrets! Sure they don’t wanna meet a flamethrower (who among us does?), but can you get them all? Ewoks are SO much fun to put on the table, and it’s clear a lot of love went into their rules, their play testing, and their card designs. It ‘feels’ like you are playing Ewoks. Are they gonna break the meta and win you every battle? No, but they’re fun, and they add a welcome variety to Rebel lists, especially now that Wookiees are basically defunct. You can surprise everyone by busting out the heroes of Endor every now and again and making them fear the furry horde.
