I love LI. Starting an escalation league at the flgs tomorrow night. Me and a friend used the Turn System and orders system for a game of 40k it was great. One thing i do love is having games on large tables 6x4 or 8x4 you can have proper grand strategy with sweeping armoured columns, defense lines, separate hills, woodlands become seriously important as they block LoS or let your infantry really dig in. deep strike operations etc become desperate objective grabs
Thanks Lee, i'm gagging for LI content, and you are in the exact same position as me with no games under your belt and slogging through the painting, please keep a regular slot for LI rambles ❤❤
Great video. I’m still building terrain, painting up resin order tokens and titans, and getting ready for when I can actually get enough miniatures to be able to get an army together! In the meantime, I’m playing with my 6mm collection of old epic stuff.
Great to listen to someone else as excited as I am about the game… we’ve got a group going as part of London Wargaming Guild now and hope to put on some narrative events in future as everyone builds up their stuff. Atm people playing 1k games but we’ll slowly build up. Full 3k seems like it might be too big for events though? It takes a while to play (albeit we’re new). More musings and LI content would be most welcome in future!
Great video. Called out GW for what it is and loved the shout outs for other channels. I’d recommend (1) 8x missile squad per 1,000 point game. Ignores cover on the missiles means garrisoned units don’t get the -2 penalty to hit and don’t get the cover save. Nuke an infantry unit a turn. I’d recommend breaking the assault marines off the core tactical units to allow the assault marines to move the full speed into combat. Heavy bolters with point defense are awesome if you can maneuver them well. They destroy all the scary melee units from Solar Auxilary, so make sure to position your vehicles well. Warlord titans with the apocalypse missile launches can one shot some buildings with heavy barrage, arm guns can be whatever tickles your fancy.
Nice, some great battlefield data, thanks mate. I literally shoved those assault marines into the core detachment as I had a few spare points, but like the idea of a big squad for clearing out buildings. Eventually want to paint up some Legio Krytos titans so being able to one shot a building feels like a good fit for them! 🤙
Hey man! Thanks for the video! Very good to see LImp content! I like your list! Looks strong. I think being able to attack occupied buildings is going to be really important in this game! I think the Kratos' are a good inclusion! Can't wait to see some after action reports!! Thank you very much!
Great video! I’m a little challenged at creating lists and what to purchase because I have no idea what I’m doing but your list sounds fun and thematic so I’m going to use that as a guide. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I am frustrated with GW and their lack of support for LI. I have been trying to get a DA and a 1000 Sons force together but its difficult with no products to pick up
I am interested in Legions, but I just don't have the bandwidth for it. In either time or money. I have too many unrealized ambitions in age of darkness, and there's no stock to tempt me into LI anyway.
I have to agree. Noone kills a great fan base as quickly as GW!! I've had to 3d print my entire force of marines and IG I'd love to get ahold of some great plastic models, but no go here in Nebraska. Oh well, 3d printing goes on!! Edit : Your OCD is completely understandable!
Probably my main game for a while its super fun and the scale and game mechanics really gel with me. Was always a big fan of epic through the editions.
Your point about the ludicrousness of it all from a business point of view is the key thing. Like... I really want to get into the Old World this year and I cannot buy any of it - it's impossible to buy the game they're trying to sell me and that I want to buy from them!
It's just been such a mess with the launch and the absolutely disastrous availability - or lack thereof - of anything other than basic infantry. I was really excited in the lead up to last summer but GWs mismanagement of this line just killed any momentum. I went back playing Alpha Strike/Battletech instead. And Litbashing is a great little channel that got me at least motivated enough to build the few Auxilia forces I already managed to get hold of :)
Really good video. Ive neen waiting for this game for so long! GW's balls up eont out me off, but i hope they haven't killed the momentum before the game has had a chance.
Nice video. LI has 2 big things going against it. 1st is GW having too many things going on and can't keep up with demand. Every game they make has important shit out of stock. 2nd is the price. If you look at the cost of a 3k pt army it is $800-$1k which is insane for the scale. The initial wave of stuff sold well but I have my doubts it will be selling well a year from now when people realize how much they are going to spend for a 'standard' sized army. Having played a whopping 1 game my critique for your list is: Drop the plasma weapons, the designer must hate plasma because every plasma weapon in the game is just shit. Swap those plasma supports for missile supports. Use assault marines for your storm eagles, you can kick them out of the back w/o stopping. Terminators are close combat monsters, use them. A bit game-y but having a terminator in your tac squad gives them all implacable. Get more infantry, you need it for objective holding and they are hard to dig out of buildings.
Great vid mr. Lee!!! Good on you to do a singles vid, while Rob and John is having a spar day. And don’t you listen to them, you would look really handsome with a moustache!
The game is excellent, the GW support sucks. Fortunately the support from cults3D is excellent, search Galactic Crusaders. The printed models are better than the plastics

A great LI channel that I discovered in December is Litbashing. The guy's passion is infectious.
Got a link? I can’t find it
Nice, will give it a watch 🤙

Yes mate larger tables sounds awesome, love the idea of having a bit of space to manoeuvre your forces!
My tip is watch out for people charging their rhinos into your armour and tying em up in "combat"
Ridicolous tactic
Thanks Lee, i'm gagging for LI content, and you are in the exact same position as me with no games under your belt and slogging through the painting, please keep a regular slot for LI rambles ❤❤
Hope your co-presenters get some taste and jump into legions Imperialis soon!!! So much is coming for this game in the near future!
Fingers crossed mate 🤞

Nice vid, enjoyed it. Thanks for the list of other content creators, a couple of new ones to me there so I will check them out!
Got the rules for £10 off ebay. Friend has printed loads of stuff off. All sorted.
Ngl I wish GW would straighten out their supply issues. I am 3d printing an entire militia army because there's no other option.
Awesome video mate! Spot on with so many points!
Great video! I’m a little challenged at creating lists and what to purchase because I have no idea what I’m doing but your list sounds fun and thematic so I’m going to use that as a guide. Thank you.
Yes mate, but if it's shit don't blame me!!! 😂

Also vote for Litbashing

Just a completely bizarre situation right? You're a business, I want to give you my money, but you won't let me!!! 🤷
More of this!
Nice video, once I've finished some Bretonnians I might jump on the Legions Imperialis hype train 😅
It's just been such a mess with the launch and the absolutely disastrous availability - or lack thereof - of anything other than basic infantry.

I had the hype as well and like with you it died when the game was delayed. Im just now getting it back and this helped with my focus.
Awesome mate, it's such a shame that they messed up the release!
Where is the scenery on the Beowulf site? Thanks.
Sorry mate they don't seem to be on there. If you take a look on the Beowulf Facebook page you'll see his post about the scenery.
As an Australian i hard passed on Legion Imperalis ............ 1500 dollaridoos an army 😢
Im down to Blood Bowl as my only GW game
Yeah the mark up for Aussies is proper shitty mate ☹
Really good video. Ive neen waiting for this game for so long! GW's balls up eont out me off, but i hope they haven't killed the momentum before the game has had a chance.
Hey Mate. I couldnt catch the name of the Company who makes the buildings. Cheers.

Love Epic/LI. Good video. More is good.
You missed the plastic Dire Wolves.
Ah man, not gonna lie I forgot all about them!!! 🤣
Great vid mr. Lee!!! Good on you to do a singles vid, while Rob and John is having a spar day. And don’t you listen to them, you would look really handsome with a moustache!
I wouldn’t duel arm the tanks it’s all or nothing tbh
Keep these coming chum, much appreciated. Great game let down by the shit show that is GW these days - sad.
The game is excellent, the GW support sucks. Fortunately the support from cults3D is excellent, search Galactic Crusaders. The printed models are better than the plastics
It's a real shame, glad it sounds like you're enjoying the game though. 🤘
Before I even watch this, I just have to say that I hate Lee.
Bizarre thing to say, just don't watch it then 🤷♂️
Thought this was a mate having a laugh but then saw the channel response… no, you really didn’t have to say that. 🙄
