Bolt Action - Star Wars (Legion) - Beta Rules

Calling these "beta" as we have limited testing done with them - but here you go - a Bolt Action modification meant to replace the core Star Wars Legion rules (which I dislike).  This was a collaborative effort with Dan Kerrick - who is our resident Star Wars guy in the group.

Without further delay, you can download the QRS style rules here.

NOTE:  I've posted a major overhaul to the rules and the army lists here:
https://jayswargamingmadness.blogspot.com/2019/09/star-wars-bolt-action-v20-playsheet-and.html

I still have some "graphical" stuff to add ... but the core of the rules are there.  Army lists to follow in another post shortly --- this should be enough to get you started.

Pictures below of the sheets.

Note:  I have no affiliation to either Fantasy Flight Games or Warlord Games - these rules are simply done for my own club/enjoyment - I share them with the community only should others be interested in leveraging them for their own games.  While I do make updates and share with the community, I'm under no obligation to service requests from other individuals.

I recommend buying a copy of the Bolt Action 2nd edition rules as while this sheet is fairly comprehensive, if you are unfamiliar with Bolt Action or don't have the rules you will be missed the backing information for how to play.

  4. Very interesting. Will there be army books? I really like Bolt Action (having legal hard copies of the rules and armies), but I would like to make my own army lists for SF-settings. If you did special star wars stats for units, I'd like to know how you gave them point values.

    1. Yo! Army lists are in progress ... however I never use points or points systems. I will post the army lists once I get them added.

    1. Thanks! No points values (absolutely hate point systems) - army lists forthcoming though.

  6. Are you using Konflict 47 as that has values for Walkers, Troops in armour and mutated humans with rules that could work for Wookies and some of the other aliens and maybe even for Scum & Villany factions.

    1. I don't have the Konflict 47 rules. Interesting, will have to look. Thanks!

    2. Also covers Automatons they call them which are essentially steampunkish robots aka rules for Droids. Konflict 47 is the Wierd War for Bolt Action so same rules should be an easy fit in with a few rules added for the new kind of units.

      Fantastic work you've done with this. Thanks for sharing.
