Legions Imperialis Legions Imperialis - Legiones Astartes Tanks + Unit Compendium + Tokens

[Firedrake Cordova]

I'm continuing to be impressed with how nice the "Epic-scale" tank models are.  

 

The Whirlwind design is an interesting departure from the 2nd Edition model, in terms of the launcher part - the original "DIY" model by Tony Cottrell had a single 4x2 enclosure like these (albeit with a slightly more boxy appearance!), rather than the split launcher pods of the Scorpius. I'm assuming it means that there'll be a new 28mm kit along at some point..?

Pretty sure forgeworld made a “two pods joined together”  style whirlwind upgrade kit at one point. It is definitely how the launcher on the Land Raider Helios looks.

They did - it was two pods of 3 arranged in a triangle. I think Owen Rees had one in his Dark Angels army, if you can remember back that far.

Designer notes on the new Liber. It's an update to the profiles and points, rather than just a copy/paste job.

Very happy with what I'm reading here. Especially: 

 

Sure could be marketing spiel, but this seems like an update to get all their ducks in a row and make it easier to get into the game and less a capping stone to end support after this.

Also an interesting note on the Formation at the bottom - under "Legion Tactical Detachment", it says "One model has an Apothecary". I wonder how that will work - perhaps need to glue on an apothecary as a sixth model on one of the bases?

I wonder if there will be rules for attaching any of the other characters to other models like this,

Oh good catch. Would be a nice way to make use of the bazillion command squad models you get when purchasing multiple infantry detachments.

Boy am I glad I have not made all my infantry stands yet then!
