Legions Imperialis - Epic Gaming with Your AT Minis

When speaking about Titans, normally we'd be wondering if we're actually talking about "miniatures."  After all, these are gigantic hunks of resin.

When talking about Adeptus Titanicus (AT), that's a different story.  Plastic and resin in "Epic" scale, albeit a bit different from the Epic of yore, have been what we were used to for the last several years.  Indeed, a few months ago we had conjecture about if Epic would return on an episode of Adeptus Titanicast due to the shared scale of AT and Aeronautica Imperialis (AI).

Enter Legions Imperialis (LI).  Epic has returned!

Okay, hear us out, that might be a bit of a stretch based on what we know.  However, this is effectively a reboot of Epic with a new scale and likely updated rules.  Best part, your AT and AI minis are still good to go!

An Age of Darkness

LI is set during the Horus Heresy.  Get ready to throw the forces of the Legiones Astartes, their air support, and the might of the Collegia Titanica at one another.

Epic Scale

Legions Imperialis is ‘epic scale’, the same as AT and AI. 

General’s Eye View

Think carefully.  Your orders are issued to your whole detachment, meaning you're committed to your battleplan.  This will be reminiscent of the previous Apocalypse setup.

Non-stop Action

The activation of Detachments alternates, meaning you move or fire a Detachment, then your opponent does, and so on. You’re always in the thick of battle, adjusting plans as you go to seize advantages that present themselves.

Unrelenting War

Titans will annihilate entire squadrons of tanks in a single barrage, but air superiority can easily be a threat to them.  Tactical fighting is a must and your decisions need to count.

Conquer the Battlefield

It's all about the Objectives, meaning your troops are as important as your Titans and how you fight.

Combined Arms

Yep.  Humanity's strongest warriors coupled with tanks, air support, and the stride of Titans.  Think carefully about your force's composition.

A Weapon for Every Situation

Just as each Detachment has a role, so too do the weapons they are armed with. Assault cannons mow down infantry but can’t scratch a Titan, while Lascannons are best used against vehicles. 

Flexible Army Building

Armies in LI revolve around ‘Formations’, Horus Heresy armies with flexible options. Fight YOUR way.

Choose your Battlefield

Terrain, how it affects the battlefield, and so much more.  Did we mention you can blow buildings up?  Yep.
