SundayPreview Nov12 LegionsBoxUPDATED

What's in the box, you ask? Brace yourself for a grand total of 223 miniatures across 61 individual models, accompanied by dice, tokens, templates, and the ever-beloved red measuring sticks. But that's not all – the set also includes the full, unabridged rulebook for Legions Imperialis.

 

Legions Imperialis Rulebook

SundayPreview Nov12 LI 1 Book

This rulebook isn't just your run-of-the-mill guide; it's a treasure trove containing core rules, scenarios, unit profiles for Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia armies, extensive background information about the most significant battles of the Horus Heresy, and galleries showcasing the glorious miniatures that bring this universe to life.

But let's dive into the heart of the action – The Legiones Astartes. Undoubtedly the most renowned force in the Age of Darkness, the Legiones Astartes have been at the center of every pivotal event and crucial battle. To command an army of Space Marines in Legions Imperialis is to tread the path of the Emperor himself – or perhaps the treacherous route of Horus, should rebellion smolder within your hearts.

Thunderhawk Gunship

And let's not forget the iconic Thunderhawk Gunship, making its triumphant return from Aeronautica Imperialis to join the Legions Imperialis ranks. With new bases for the game and compatibility with Aeronautica Imperialis, these aircraft promise to dominate the skies in the 31st Millennium.

Now, shift your gaze to The Solar Auxilia – humanity's finest mortal warriors. While the Legiones Astartes took center stage in the Horus Heresy, the Solar Auxilia proved themselves as elite forces capable of standing toe-to-toe with Space Marines. Their armies boast ironclad discipline, relentless firepower, and overwhelming numbers, making them a force to be reckoned with in every aspect except perhaps mano-a-mano combat.

Led by an Auxilia Commander and their Tactical Command section, just one or two sets form a robust core for your epic-scale Solar Auxilia army.

 

Baneblade Squadron

Customize your tanks with three possible commanders and sponson options, fielding them in detachments of up to six vehicles.

Aerial support is crucial, and with the return of Imperial Navy assets from Aeronautica Imperialis, you can deploy Lightning Fighters, Marauder Bombers, and Marauder Destroyers to dominate the skies. Forge World resin aircraft also make a comeback, presenting Imperial commanders with powerful options like the Marauder Colossus, Marauder Pathfinder, and the beloved Arvus Lighters.

But the excitement doesn't stop there – enter Knight Households and Titan Legions. Adeptus Titanicus offers a stunning array of Imperial Knights and Titans, including Questoris Knights, Cerastus Knight Lancers, Reaver Titans, and the mighty Warlord Titans. Special guests from the Forge World range add an extra layer of awe to your collection, ensuring your army is as diverse as it is formidable.

 

Questoris Knights

These war machines boast esoteric weapons forged on Mars, promising a unique and cerebral approach to warfare. Don't miss the Warlord-Sinister Psi Titan, a rare and terrifying sight in the Age of Darkness, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.

Now, let's talk terrain and accessories because what's a battle without a dramatic backdrop? Legions Imperialis has you covered with the Civitas Imperialis City Road Tiles and Ruins sets. These modular additions can turn your games from basic scuffles on bare tables to immersive war stories set amidst thematic environments, capturing the essence of the Horus Heresy's ravaged cities and ruined roads.

The release of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis is a triumph for enthusiasts seeking to engage in the grandeur of epic battles. It's more than a pre-order; it's an invitation to embark on a journey through the tumultuous events of the Horus Heresy, a saga that has shaped the very fabric of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
