Perzactly.

I want a motorized monorail with app control that can still run on a printed track/rail.
Getting really stoked, gonna start painting stuff this week hopefully.
With new Space Marines getting a two week preorder window and a release on October the 14th, that pushes any potential release of Legions Imperialis even further down the road.
So October 21th at the earliest, most likely.
While I am still looking forward to the release, the delay really put a real damper on the epic enthusiasts in my local gaming club.
Already, a good third canceled their preorders and it‘s unclear if they will pick the game up down the road.
This is only anecdotal evidence of course, but the hype around the game has definitely cooled down.
Let’s hope LI can generate more interest when it finally releases and demand is not permanently crippled.
Warhammer CE the definite ruleset for Warhammer veterans

I really think the HH boxset will be first and there will probably be a week of AoS stuff in between which would push it to the 4th November which would be in line of the November release rumours that are going around

My impression is that much of the demand is from the nostalgic/grognard crowd that played previous versions of the game, which will remain constant no matter when it's released.
But I think the quality of the rule set will have far more effect on the long term health of the line than any release date delay.
well nominal 8mm is not too far from nominal 10mm, which is nominally "N" gauge, where motor bogies etc can be bought, ditto cheapish second hand stuff to nick wheels from. will look oversized but that fits the "mooorrrr bigger" 40k asthetic and when hidden under stuff you wont see it
3d printed bodies could work, not sure how sensible it is, maybe for a diorama, but sensible has never mattered much in 40k, except to avoid it where possible

That might or might not change once it's out and it's on more venues where people can watch it play.

I think you're missing a group - namely, people that have played and enjoyed AT, and thought, "You know, this would be even cooler with lots of tanks and infantry..."
Admittedly, LI is going to have simplified rules for the titans, so this might very much be a case of "be careful what you wish for". But I suspect that there are a lot of people who joined the scale with the new AT, and are interested in LI as a result.
well nominal 8mm is not too far from nominal 10mm, which is nominally "N" gauge
Wiki's model rail scale list (yes, it has one) lists N scale as 9mm, which puts it even closer to the estimates of what LI probably is.
And in any case, it's not all that important to be precise on the scales, since it's the distant future. It would look silly, but GW could release a train that fits on HO-scale rails, but otherwise matches up with the scale of AT and LI, and hand wave some odd reason why all trains are that built like that in the 31st Millennium.

Hm... N scale is a range from 1:148 to 1:160. Which is 12-13mm, depending ^^. I guess 1:160 could be considered 9mm if you're measuring to the eyes... but that's a pretty big if, and GW is defining it to the top of the head.
Usually, you'd want Z scale. Not that it matters much anyways, and I'm sure N scale would work for what we want.
I mean, N is not that big when compared to Z, and I'm sure that in the 40k setting there will be HO sized trains, and probably bigger ones too.

Its just because UK uses a different loading gauge than elsewhere, because we invented the whole system and updating it was too expensive compared to model makers just hashing something out
Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
Dropzone monorail might work too, aesthetic is less 40k perhaps but it's a non-3d print option. Technically 10mm scale but I suspect it'll look fine sizewise with legions stuff given 30/40ks chonkyness.

Plus, people have been using the Drop Zone buildings in Epic for years now.
