Brother Glacius Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 https://spikeybits.com/2023/11/the-actual-cost-to-play-legions-imperialis-is-pretty-wild-3000-points.html Basically, anywhere from $800 to over a $1000 for an army to play a 3000pt battle. Yeesh. Of course, you only need one army since it can play both sides. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 well - 3d printing can help you cut those costs. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Or, SmallHammer Heresy. I'm willing to bet it's not as many minis on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I started watching the battlereport they have on warhammertv, and the game seems really simple. But honestly, its been so long since I played any epic, I couldn't compare them. The models do look great. I really like the 8mm size due to how much detail they are able to bring out. Man, its amazing how strong nostalgia is. I can hold on to a bunch of old models with a slim chance to ever use them, or I could use them to pay for the new game which is, in my opinion, way over priced, but will probably have a better chance to play it. #1stworldproblems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I've gotten on the list for pre-order though Shiv Games in Salem - looking forward to trying it out. With the starter box I will be able to scale prints well for expanding the armies lol - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 I found the box set for $170 which isn't bad. I will have an extra rulebook if anyone is interested. 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 and the models are so much larger than the Epic ones, so truly a refresh on armies/product lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 it is just a Heresy game tho. Â Not an epic replacement. Â I am picking it up out of curiosity mostly - I will plan on printing any needed models other than what I get in the core box. Â But without xenos factions - it will only be a sideshow for me. -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Little birdie squeeks it may expand to the the later times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted December 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 okay, so I got my copies (hush ando). and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed from the aspect of sheer amount of plastic. This is after owning leviathan and there is no comparison. I'm a bit surprised there was no terrain of any sort. I knew there wasn't going to be...but after opening the box and seeing how much space was left and such....a bit underwhelmed. GW is really raking in the cash here on this box for what they are pushing out. Also, I've got lots of bits that have broken off the sprues so far. Not cool.

Torg Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I got the main box... thumbed through the book and looked at the minis - after watching a few vids it seems to be a well done game. Â BUT - I also watched 3-4 epic armageddon YouTube battle reports and just love that game as well - then after looking through my collection of 4-5 epic armies... the rules are online (net epic) and all the armies are accounted for... this new box doesn't bring anything different to the table besides the scale differences. Â I think I will just sell my box as it is still new and in the box - rulebook and all un-F'd with. -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling Xenos players to kick rocks seems like an odd move, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 they are really awesome - and the scale is nice. Â But exactly as your point - I have epic armies needed to be finished already. Â The game is perfectly fine - with various "living" editions online. Â I see that they are trying to keep it a slow grow Neo-epic - with going with HH. But - as things go - it could take years for them to get to where epic already is. IF they don't dump it all a couple years down the road. Â I think I am better off with the "dead" game lol -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eblingus Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Really not a fan of how most of the new 30k tanks look. Ugly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I'm going to focus on the typical 40K models for this as I like how most of those look. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
