Hopes for the new legions imperialis book

[Crablezworth]

So I was expecting we would have heard a release date for the new book/card decks but so far nothing.

 

Perhaps there are more new units contained in it than just the marine ones previewed so far. There was a lot of concern that with it being a compendium it signaled some dire possibilities for legions imperials as the compendiums in AT heralded the end of releases, with the exception of the dark mech stalkers getting terminals there haven't been any AT releases since. The LI expansion books and cards have been pulled from the store, probably good move and a sign that the new book/cards are imminent. 

 

Other than point adjustments, what are players hoping for in the new book?

 

 

I'm hoping somehow there may be some sort of limit on detachments/formations/activations in addition to point changes. The far/errata was most welcome and made some good changes to infantry march speed and infiltrate no longer allowing charges. I still feel like infiltrate still needs a cap, its handed out too easily and its still possible for entire armies to infiltrate, which isn't just obnoxious as you get up in point size but also still conspires to mess with scenarios/missions too much esp for fluffy/narrative stuff. I doubt they'd ever do it but I would really love if all 3 main factions could get access to drills like they could in hh1, would also really like mechanicum to have access to tarantulas/avengers/lightnings again like in hh1. I doubt we'll see that in the new book but dare to dream. I'd also greatly welcome more scenarios like the bridge mission from book 3 with end game scoring.
