    I...think I might want to get into Legions Imperialis over 40k after watching this. There's a sleekness to the rules without losing strategy, and the scale is just so cool. The brutality of melee combat and the amount of armor you run just really feeds into everything I love too.

      I agree, 40k (which I play) seems weird in the fact that it's like, oh you move you army, shoot me, than chop me up, then I will do the same to you .. real war is fluid and fast paced, I feel it should have more of an alternating flow to it as well.

      @@christopherfreitas6510 A nice middle ground I've seen thrown around by people between the system as-is and alternate activations is instead of 1 turn being one player going through all of the phases, a turn is both players playing through each phase, so for example:
      Turn 1, during the movement phase of the turn, player 1 does all his movement, then player 2 gets to move, then during the shooting phase, player 1 shoots first, then player 2, etc. To keep some fairness/variety in turn order, on turn 2, player 2 gets to move first instead of player 1 and so on.
      Never played this way before, but it seems like it could be pretty good!

    Excellent to see some LI. Fun and engaging report. A few rules issues but still a great report.
    Secondaries, you roll 2 and pick 1.
    No saves against void shield hits.
    Hits are allocated by the defender, so they decide what weapons go into voids and what need armour saves.
    Terminators added to a tactical detachment are part of that detachment, so can't deep strike.
    You cant charge on the turn you arrive from deepstrike.

    • @daviddonachie5333
      @daviddonachie5333 10 месяцев назад

      Terminators added to a detachment *can* Deep Strike (I believe), but they have to deep strike into coherency with the tactical detachment they were added too. That makes for limited usefulness, but I guess it can protect them until they get where they need to go.

    Okay, hear me out. We all love 40k, but like nick said it can feel like a tiny section of the battlefield. 40k is also super expensive to reach ~1500-2000 pts. Do what me and my three mates have been doing, use armageddon rules and build your legions imperialis units as heroic-scale units (ie five-man tac squads, individual Contemptor, rhino, sicaran units). Then you can have huge 40k games on a shoestring. Oh, and you can field multiple titans without needing to sell every last organ in your body :) so freqking fun, and can be played on a small table with small scenery, honestly the best thing ever to come out of our yorkshire tea-addled brains
