GW is slowly revealing details about the game, and this time, they show off the new Legions Imperialis Flying Base and Sprues.
If you’ve patiently waited for Epic Warhammer 40k to return, it’s being rebranded in the Horus Heresy era as Legions Imperialis. While we’ve seen plenty of the miniatures in the starter box, it’s always nice to get some more details about the game.
We’ve also seen that Aeronautica Imperialis will be compatible with the game, and while we saw the new Adeptus Titanicus bases a while ago, this is the first glimpse into how your old AI will work with the game.
GW Reveals New Legions Imperialis Flying Base & Sprues
The latest on Legions Imperialis Flying Base & Sprues info comes from Warhammer Community.
This is the only pic we’ve seen of the sprues so far, but as you can see, they seem to be designing them so the kits in the actual starter could be released on their own later on.
This means everything in the starter could have its own kit early in the game. We’ve already seen a second box set, with all the heavy weaponry and dreads, which also come in the starter box. The sprues look to be set up with only single units on each, making it super easy to rebox them into their own offerings.
As you can also see, each infantry model is going to be one part, but the tanks look to still have a bunch of bits, so get ready to build up some tiny tank kits with a lot of parts!
I’ve still got the Aeronautica Imperialis Thunderhawk Gunship on my desk at work because it was such a breakthrough moment in the amount of detail we could convey on a miniature at that size, and it has an impact that’s very different from the full-sized one. Plus it’s a lot easier to keep next to my computer, unlike the colossal Forge World flyer.
They don’t mention much about the different flying stands, but as you can see above, the new one is quite different.
Games Workshop also did the same thing with AT bases, so if you already play AI, there’s a chance you might have to rebase to play Legions Imperialis, or just find out where you should measure from (considering it’s a different shape).
