Legions Imperialis Legions Imperialis

I think @Xanthous has hit me on the head with the truth hammer.

So, the Sky-Hunter Phalanx is a formation consisting of detachments, which in turn consist of units. 

The blood angels player would therefore need to issue 5 orders to that formation, one for each detachment. 

 

We're gonna need lots of tokens....

[dice4thedicegod]

Yeah, old epic had a lot of order tokens going down

Surely, pre-order announced this weekend then?

This pretty much solidifies preorder announcement being this Sunday for me. Them gathering all the articles in one place and now this? If it isn't this Sunday then it's going to be the last straw for some people.

I'd put money on Sunday being the day of announcement and Monday morning being the day whereby a million wallets cry out...

And hopefully not suddenly silenced! (By an announcement of a new Underworlds gang instead..)

[Burni]

That is some tiny lightning! Good to see some other legions - they look good. 
 

After ‘sooner than you think’ I am still suspicious of WHC’s definition of ‘very, very soon’… my wallet stands ready though!

My understanding is that Sunday is a preview of the pre-order.  Saturday after is actual pre-order, and than 2 more weeks till release.  Is that right?  It seems to work with rumors of preorder the 18th and release the 2nd.

Night Lords do look good at that scale! I'm still dreading the lightning but it doesn't look as bad as I thought!

[Dark Shepherd]

THEY ALL LOOK SO MUCH BETTER IN PAINT SCHEMES THAT DONT RESEMBLE AN EAST GERMAN BATHROOM

[Interrogator Stobz]

100%.

I may not be painting Iron Warriors and Dark Angels for that reason.

Maybe Scars and Alphas.... maybe.

[SalamandersBro]

I think I'll do ultra marines and be basic. After reading the unremembered empire, i became a fan. 

[Marshal Rohr]

The transfers have allowed me to get a better mental image of the size and the hype is so, so very back.

Unfortunately my Christmas budget is done and dusted so no crying from my wallet (I know it won't affect GW's money making machine in the slightest but it's a shame it had a unfortunate release muck up, it has made my hype for it drop waaay down now )

... hopefully I'll still be able to get a box in the new year sometime.

The models look so sweet. Especially in VIIth Legion colours of course. Reminds me of Micro Machines. I won't be picking it up, barely get any games in of 40k and AoS.

Same here, christmas budget has been allocated and there's no space for LI due to not knowing whether it would exist outside of the GW offices at that time. I'll see next year, if it's available indeed but also, only if it's fully/mostly available at independent retailers. I'm not going to go through that new site of theirs to order directly from them.

 

Having said that, seeing those LI tanks in a proper color scheme, makes me wonder whether I shouldn't go with that rather than my marine legions in tiny scale. They look so good.

[Redcomet]

Very cool to see them in colors. 
 

Not a game I will rush to pick up, but I will be painting some big smol tanks for fun

Do people always order from GW direct? I always try and support a local gaming store - although I know sometimes they miss out on quantity of new releases, if you try and get upon release.

 

I try and alternate between a local FLGS to support them, but also run some cash through the till of my local GW stores to both support the local and keep them sweet, particularly as I usually want the mini of the month and the coin. Anything potentially limited, the much more organised LGS's get my vote as they're more likely to get the stock than my local tiny GW store.

Do Alphas pretending to be white scars pretending to be alphas. 

 

They do look a lot better in other colours, though I think the BA still look the best we've seen so far.

 

I guess this confirms that the new sicaran omega will have re-oriented omega destroyers like the LI model, as opposed to the vertical FW one. Strange choice, I wonder if they struggle dto convert it to plastic. The LI one seems to omit the coils and cables on the main turret

[Interrogator Stobz]

Horizontal looks way better. I held our on buying the FW one in hope, looks positive for a change.

Seeing the stuff that the team painted I'm expecting the starter and wave 1 to launch pretty close together or even simultaneous. The Kratos and Baneblades probably wouldn't have been included otherwise.

Yes, but the great unknown is "what's about the boxes relatives to the starter set?", I mean: many things should be available quickly at/around the starting point. For example: infantry SM box, infantry SA box, light tanks boxes (SM/SA which are in the starter) ... None have been revealed yet.

I expect the boxes that contain starter set units, to be some of the last to be released. 

[Noserenda]

Had White dwarf through and theres an article on collecting/painting forces and even a focus on the staff collections in the back. Really good to see a variety of legions and skill levels on display, shows how easy painting epic is :D 

Cant be long now! :P

Are you kidding? The infantry and light/core tanks are the backbone of this game. I can't imagine a late release of those boxes.
