"The buildings are all coming down." You know, she is correct, lol.

@@rogeroverstreet3919 I know she’s correct, and you know she’s correct. But I don’t think she knows exactly how correct she is! Lol

Didnt GW say the battle groups would be regularly made items in the range?

[@EagleSpireGaming]

I’m not aware of them saying that, but currently they are listed as “available while supplies last” which I believe means they are limited.

[@Jab-02]

Have you picked up any of the terrain stuff?

[@EagleSpireGaming]

So far I’ve got two sets of tiles and two sets of civitas Imperialis, and 2 sets of ruins. And 1 set of the mechanicus sector.

[@Jab-02]

@@EagleSpireGaming Nice, how many boxes would you recommend for a 2k game and which ones? I am headed to warhammer world in a month and am trying to figure out what my shopping lists should be lol.

[@EagleSpireGaming]

@@Jab-02 the “civitas Imperialis Administratum Sector” is 5 boxes for the price of 3. If you build it the way the instructions say, and then space everything out, it will cover a large section of a play area. I would start with that and then either play on a mat or just the table to start off.
I’ll make a video reviewing that box so you can see how it looks on the table, with a comparison to the other set.
Thanks for the great question and for watching!

Treasure your lady ... most won't give our games the light of day ... you hear !!

@@ArnolddeGans thanks, she’s one of a kind

I do think that GW will repackage items, and even re-release the main Box set.. I somehow don't see the main box set being the same exact product release (even if the contents mostly remains the same) in 3 years.. This is the current day GW that is driven on product releases & popularity via Splash release format.

[@EagleSpireGaming]

@@LiquidusTalon are you thinking we will have a second edition of LI by then? AT has been using the same starter box for a few years now.

[@LiquidusTalon]

@@EagleSpireGaming That's true about AT, but there weren't many models needed for AT either (apart from the choice of fielding Knights) - it very much seemed like self contained game. I would expect Legions Imperialis to continue It's releases via new models & the like (based on sales), allowing the minaturised versions of some of the more 'Epic' battles fought during the Horus Heresy to be played out in 9mm format. I'd love to see GW maybe be a bit more Titan model inclusive with LI games, points wise. Time will tell, but it should be a different game to AT - and based on how GW are doing, we'll see new releases pitched out, throughout the various other releases being supported right now.

[@EagleSpireGaming]

@@LiquidusTalon my prediction is mechanicus next, possibly on its own. Then we will see deamons and custodies released at the same time alongside a terra book.

[@Waaagghhh]

100% two boxes!!!!!!!!!

[@EagleSpireGaming]

@@Waaagghhh and then two more!
