Got to keep something back for the Knights faction for the next book I guess.

Knight armies are already in the most recent book.

With this announcement, the LI releases are completed so far? Next Book on the Horizon?

So like a game of AT overlaying a game of LI on the same board...hmmm. We're definitely tasting the forbidden fruit this morning!

But seriously, GW should be encouraging cross over campaigns between the two games.

WD #493 had Rules for mixed HH / LI / AT Campaigns, with news Scenarios.

Oh. I must have missed that one? I know they had one for just HH and LI when Legions Imperialis launched.

This week's pricelist in USD

Krios, Karacnos, Magaera and Styrix $52 (usual LI kit price £31.50)
Asterius $60 (same as Porphyrion, currently £37)
Atrapos $80 (same as Cerastus Acheron / Castigator at £47)

I had half-expected the Magaera kit to have the same price as Atrapos, so that's nice.

Correct, but the offering for both Legios and Houses was a bit of a cucumber sandwich with a glass of water, with the focus on Mechanicum. Not complaining yet it would be nice to have a "Doom of Molech" that gives a lot more love for Knights and Titans...and maybe something a little bit extra to go with it...



...y'know, a burger and a beer would be nice.

Yay! I would really like to get the Asterius as well but they would only receive icy stares at the AT table...

We have already a rumour about a Molech Expansion next.

Maybe more Content for Knights? Plastic Armiger?

We have that free PDF, which also gives Knights access to Legio Cybernetica contnet.

They could expand Knights Househoulds to full Army Lists with further Support Units, which do not need to be Knights... Infantry, own planetary Air Support.

That would be cool. Mixing up the Titans and Knights with Marines or Solar infantry would go a long way, and even vice verca.

Saying that I wouldn't mind if the next book introduces Daemons or Custodes, as that would be a great way to distinguish even further the Traitor and Loyalist divide. I would probably go crazy on the Slaanesh theme...EC, Devine, whatever the Titan Legio was in purple, and Fulgrim in his demon mode surrounded by nasty brutes. THAT would be aweeeessssoooommmmmeee!

Does anyone know if astartes artillery (bombard) units will come as it was in the first rule book ? And a still some tanks are not there yet

This must be an anticipation for the upcoming Legions news:
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/c9qnghtw/how-big-is-a-space-marine-legion/

(for my humbrle opinion the hidden meaning is "only with Legions you can deploy hundreds of troopers" )
Look at these pics:


Astartes and Titans together



Mk3 astartes.

That second picture was the cover art for the astartes battlegroup for hh a couple years back.

I am hopeful that the first image maybe indicates new SM infantry and/or Legion specific stuff.

Yeah, not seeing how this relates to LI at all, its very clearly part of the HH 3rd edition hype machine and not much else.

It is possible that some new LI kits will come out since saturnine units, disintegrator squads, arachne turrets, and felblades will all be new in plastic, makes sense to do them in LI.

I would assume that LI and HH will release mirror releases of models with the exception that LI will get some big stuff that HH doesn't get because its stupidly big/too bulky for regular releases as larger models; and HH will get more legion specific models; esp infantry - because at LI scale the differences are too tiny

There is some low hanging fruit they could make- Legion Felblade/ Glaive, Auxilia Aurox/Catnodons, Mechanicum Macrocarid Explorators and Ordinatus Minoris, Armiger Knights and Armiger Moriax.

From there, Dark Mechanicum could be expanded, and Talons of the Emperor would need say 1 infantry box, Pallas, Caladius tanks, Sisters Acquisitors, coronus carriers, and maybe the fliers

'Artwork' I will never stop banging the drum about the vast amount of Heresy artwork GW owns, and instead just uses photoshopped minis. It is such a shame, utterly soul-less.

Fellblade is definitely a low hanging fruit. I assume it will be a big/feature release alongside whichever new campaign book comes along, once the HH3 train has passed through.

They use photoshopped minis for box art because there’s a near-zero chance of getting them wrong and accidentally doing “false advertising” which opens them up to legal repercussions.

That's something that Imperial Armour/Forge World/Tony Cottrell did, like, since forever. It became their trademark.

I don't think that's a risk at all.
I think its more a simple shift in policy internally that GW uses photos of real models as product display because showing real product painted up sells more than artwork. Artwork draws you in but actual product sells.

I think it's because artwork costs more and it's harder for the employer to claim ownership of it.

On the bright side, AI can flood the internet with slop indistinguishable from official GW renders.

With the exception of the Dark Mech models, GW didn't really do that much "too big for 28mm scale" stuff for LImp, it's primarily just shrunk regular HH models.

True but we do have warmasters and such - plus I fully expect to see some massive wheeled/tracked admech mega- weapon. I know GW did do/has done one of those under FW

Primarchs with bodyguards are something that could sell for LI.
Like Peter Turbo with his Domitar bots, maybe Dorn with some Templar Brethren.

Mk3 marines in the pictures (and not Saturnine or MK2) because the rumour says:



And the WarCom post repeat very often "Legions", so I hope something will arrive soon. I hope for Auxilia Jump Squad...

It would be nice to have a Legions Imperialis reveal to break up the Saturnine coverage.

A medium-size Knight would be cool.

Hmm, another tiiiiny Knight. Why not some Dominus Pattern Knights?

The Dominus would be sweet, and an easy win for all three Heresy-era games. Not sure why but I prefer it over the Questoris.

I have read this many times over the years. The argument against it is that GW themselves continue to fill their new 40k & AoS books with new artwork. Many of their boxes still also feature art on the cover (Kill Team, Warcry etc.)
So in this case its definitely a design choice.

So since LI is confirmed for the next preview show what do we think we'll see this time?
Obviously a new expansion book but what models do we think will be coming with it?
Personally I'm hoping to finally see the SM heavy tanks since the Fellblade also is announced for HH now, we might also see the Saturnine stuff and the new gun emplacement?
