Legions News: LI is part of the preview show scheduled for November 7th.

I wonder what we will get. Saturnine models? Custodes? Fellblades?

I haven't seen any rumors, so there are lots of possibilities.

I hope for Mk4 and Tartaros, but I doubt...

I predict a new starter set including new rule book, fellblades and custodes as a new faction which was the reason the new starter set was not part of the updated to the rules this summer.

Fellblades and Glaives seem possible.

Always hopeful for a more varied Infantry sprue. And new Dark Mechanicum.

But will also necessarily include a new book in which the rules are presented.

Kinda same, except I think that a new starter will focus more on marines like the full scale HH sets. Sell it as a single cohesive army that can be split into two for demo games, with a token knight or titan unit thrown in the box too. Meanwhile the combat force sets will provide an easy starting point for new SAX & Mech players.

Given that two armiger variants & titan weapons should (in theory) be making the leap from resin to plastic, I do wonder how far this next release will take us away from the Liber Strategia book. Perhaps the new starter has new units (like fellblades), but initially the models & rules are only in that box until they are released separately in 2026. Or maybe the box just has armigers plus some existing kits, so no changes to unit/formation rules are needed until the next wave.

A revised core rule book, and thus a new boxed game.

I wish you a more functional starter this time!

I think we will probably get one or two random units. Nothing groundbreaking….

I think a new infantry box for SA would be good - somewhere to put rough riders, light sentinels, heavy weapon teams

The simplest addition would be migrating a few more resin bits to plastic - that would be Armigers and a handful of Titan weapons. That also means they won't immediately outdate the most recent book by adding new units.

That's also possible and would be a welcome way to restore options for those titan models.

...but it would be a lot cooler if they released a box with a sprue containing every primarch. I think that's more likely than the people who want a box with unique units and a primarch for every single legion. It's a niche game, so I doubt GW wants to make 18 new SKUs, but a single one might be fine.

LI has a total lack of HQ and Specialist unit options that give the armies flavor, but it does require a large number of sprues or redundant purchases to fill that out. Really curious to see if they solve that or if LI never gets there.
