Ad Mech box looks like such a good deal, and I'm incredibly happy with the Dark Mech models. All around, this looks like so much fun.
I see Legions Imperialis I click! Best GW game ever! ) except maybe Warmaster.
Titanicus is the best game for rulebook. LI it is nice and fun
Gonna get into Legion Imperialis with the Dark Mechanicum.
Hi, I did actually play a massive game of Titans versus Titans recently, as you mentioned during your video. It works fantastically well!
We played a 10,000 pt per side battle (our big Christmas blowout) and the game was obviously very well balanced as we were both using the same army list, and we both had a mixture of Knights and Titans.
In fact, the game played out for all five turns and the result hinged on the roll of the very final dice of the fifth round!
I am unreasonably excited for this!
something to note is that the dark mech detachment sizes actually go larger than you note as a lot of them can take the size upgrades multiple times. the melee stalkers go up to 9 models, the other stalkers go up to 6
Hope to see you play some legions imperialis soon
Several games booked!
Wow! Thanks Ash!
Dedicated Battlegroups for both Astartes and Solar Auxilia are available from GW already!
Definitely the best way to go when getting into the game, and much better than the mixed style they went with for the starter set.
Well this is and epic book i can now have an army of knights and titans running alongside my marines or auxilia just what the fellblades to get models and its other varieties
Great review! Really enjoy watching your reviews and Legions Imperialis games!
Would LOVE a Legion Imperialis Battle Report Ash!
Maybe with more Titans just for fun and to bulk up the points!!
Thank you for the review! Sadly Titans are seriously over costed in LI with the notable exception of the infamous Warmaster. Unfortunately there is no balance in having them not being able to take and hold objectives because they have superior firepower and durability. You are correct though, the Necromunda team and the LI team do seem to be using the same playbook for their games. The design is poor and the points don't matter. That said I love the game and we have plenty of "guidelines" form which to be able to create balanced games and scenarios for ourselves.
The best release for the game so far, but if "at least 2 Armigers for every Knight" works well for HH then why not LI? All GW has to do is release an Armigers & Household Guard infantry box - a single kit - and they'll have made Knights into a very feasible force.
And what is GW's plan for Titanicus? If its sticking around then they should do the next book, or even AT-40K. But this is a good release nonetheless.
They did say AT terminals were included for the dark mech walker boxes
@@Saltymeatman It would be great if they're releasing the Dark-Mech units a bit later to coincide with a new Adeptus Titanicus book. As far as I know Dark-Mech don't have allegiance rules for AT, so I guess the terminals are at least a good omen.
Amazing, so much waiting for this.
Saturday morning reviews! 🎊 🎉🥳
Just put together an odd 2k list of 60 Harpax with infiltrate from Swarm, 18 Stalkers, 8 Heavy Stalkers.
Is it just me or does anyone else think the unit names sound like you’re in the middle of an IKEA store?
47:48 They've released one for Astartes and one for Solar Auxilia. They came out a couple months ago. :)
Thanks for the great overview.
Overlord stalker death stars will be unstoppable without a warmaster titan. The point efficiency is crazy. 2+ save and 2W and 2 bonus shields for 85-75 points depending on size of group is crazy. The 6 model blobs gets 12 shield bubbles to clear before even one wound can be inflicted. Baneblades are sooo far behind this level of power.
Assault isn't exploding 6s, it lets you double your shooting dice if you are within 1/2 of the weapons range.
My only question is how many sprues are in the box?
I think its probably 8 so 4 normal boxes which is pretty good deal, it's just hard to figure out where the split is.
Pre ordered one on Saturday, going to do them as Zhao-Arkhad to go with my thousand sons, was just going to do an allied detachment but looks like I'll have enough plus titans to do a full force as well.
Just got mine - my first Mechanicus models - look really cool, but suprised that there was no transfers
Hey Games Wokshop release the defense of magma city box set where I get both full armies and the terrain.
Looking forward to the mechanicum box, a bit annoyed it doesn’t have a transfer sheet though. Hopefully the 28mm mechanicum transfers fit on them
I find the scoring in this game really bad. Progressive scoring turn by turn is silly as the default - who owns the bridge at the end of the day matters way more than who spent the morning standing in it. And it's really dumb when 5 guardsmen in a hole secure an objective when standing a living god-engine on it leaves it unsecured.
I might try stealing the older Epic: Armageddon scoring system or NetEpic Gold scoring for it.
I loves me some Titans and Knights but in LI they really aren’t very good. It’s cool to have the option to play them as a full faction still.
Im new to this can you use the drill thingis for admech, i saw a video some time ago were they were transports for the old horus heresy game?
Right now they are for legions only. However, the basic marines have a solid approximation of secutarii, so I’m likely to get some proxies printed, and then run them with termite transports.
Hoping get the Ulator in the future
So a Triaros can transport 2 Thanatars because it has the Large Transport rule?
What do the Battlesmith Special Rule of the Archmagos?
The thumbnail si wrong. Showing the HH battlegroup not LI. Great video tho!
Fixed good catch! Damn products with the same name hahaha
@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames it's incredibly confusing tbh, I have to reread my cart lol
The Ordo Reductor Subdivision makes no sense. It requires two Bastion units, but the only Bastion units are Thanatar, which are a Legio Cybernetica unit (granted the laser one has connections to Reductor... but not enough to justify it being a forced choice). And worse, Thallax, which are the quintessential Reductor infantry, cannot be included! Neither can Myrmidons.
So good
Do you actually need the book or could you get away with just the cards?
You’d probably be okay but might be missing some formation and all the titan stuff
Thanatar is oddly not tougher than the Arlatax, Castellax, or Domitar. All are 4+, 2W. Thanatar is at a heavy wounds per point disadvantage versus space marine dreadnoughts. This puts Thanatars in a strange place where they are really better shooters than tanks.
No Dark Mech Thanatar?? 😢😢
everything looks amazing, but honestly I refuse to touch this game anymore until they do an FAQ - it's ridiculous that it's taken this long. 4 expansion books and there are holes in the main rules you could drive a truck through.
Neat? Yes. Affordable… not anymore… :(
of course dark mech comes to the trashies game that nobody plays
