Legions Imperialis Battle Report: Blood Angels Vs. Solar Auxilia. Let’s play Legions Imperialis! 

Yep! Horus Heresy done right! BIG BIG BIG! Hope you enjoyed the game.

I still think 6mm is better to get really epic battles.

@@Jezza_One in my opinion you loose too much detail and some models just look like blobs

Thanks Cyber! Really appreciated. I will see if @eyecon74 can do a painting video for us :)

Thanks mate. Really happy you enjoyed it!

@@BattleBunniesTV indeed! Very excited to get our hands on it and watching batreps helps keep that excitement going till release!

Cheers mate. Yep we will be adding more terrain next time :) happy you enjoyed.

@eyecon74 on Instagram. His work is amazing.

Eh. The Auxiliar are pretty much the pinnacle of normal human combat effectiveness. If properly supported by logistics a great Cohort could maybe match a legion. They have much more manpower after all

Legion forces this size could be decimated especially with a titan

@@timostegemann9738 Titans arent exactly Solar Auxilia.

Everybody agree that 1v1 would be a slaughter, but 10v1, supported by Tanks and Artillery, and with Ogryn Charonites and Veletaris for melee support… that would be another story.

eh the Solar Auxilia is meant to be the early Tempustus Scions so they do stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning

@eyecon74 is really talented!

Happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks Mate. Looking to do lots more!! Especially with Legions Imperialis!

I will watch them. Get my copy of LI today 😊

We will be doing lots more videos next few weeks and months. :)

Yep. Sorry we were rushing. We dropped a D6 in error. Brain switched off!

Thanks Fish!! Your turn for a game soon!

Yup. Personally think all 40K games should go this way!!

Thanks!

Hey! Thanks mate! Really appreciated!

Thanks Friendly!

Thanks Hunch. I have started filming it already. Will be up this / next week. :)

Splendid! Although I do hope there'll be more arguing in that video than this. You're both too nice. Surely the point of gaming with mates is to rub their noses in it 😄

Hiya! We will be putting a guide up very soon! :)

Hiya. Yeah we dropped it. Wanted to use Vanilla ones for this game. Looking forward to using it next time.

I really can’t wait for the next Bat Rep. I really enjoyed watching this one!

Yup. You are correct. Was rushing got a bit forgetful whilst trying to film too. Will get it right next time. 😅

Thanks mate! that really means a lot! We will hopefully get another up in a week. EyeCon74 and I are on different work schedules it seems!

It’s the old Realm of Battle board for 40k & WFB

Awh thanks Helghast. We put a lot of effort in and it is really difficult to see on the camera! will be some more pics on the Website soon :)

Space Marines 1488 v Solar Auxilia 1494.

Yeah I think they just made a mistake as it’s a new game

Yup. We dropped the ball (or dice in this instance). Brain went a bit to mush, as was trying to rush and record at the same time. Other than that, hope you enjoyed it.

Other than that I hope you enjoyed it Dan :)

Thanks Chris. Good luck with your Legions!

Hiya! Hopefully tonight a painting video of the new road tiles will go up :) but yes we will pan over it next time for you :)

Lol. No! Standard 10mm ones I think. Getting sub conscious about the size of my hands though now lol! The big dice would crush models!

There is a New Solar Auxilia painting guide which we have which may help? Check our other videos.

Thanks Stig! We will hopefully improve our gaming quality too after a few more games :)

@@BattleBunniesTV yours is probably the best I've seen on the system so far. Can't wait to get my stuff!

Good to hear it! It is great fun! Good luck

Hiya. Yeah it was a desert battlefield amount. Street Warfare on the new plastic boards will be great with more buildings.

@@BattleBunniesTV thanks for the response! Does the book include advice on setting up the battlefield?

Thanks for the feedback mate! Will do :)

Hiya. Yes it is very sleek and fun. Feels a bit chess like in some ways too. We dropped the BA Legion trait but it will be seen on the next report early next week. Hope you enjoyed the video.

Hiya. I will put a Blood Angel painting video up shortly. Will see if I can get a SA Painting guide too.

Hiya I think around 3-4.

@@BattleBunniesTV Thanks! Looks great, just wish GW gave a bigger discount on it in the bundle lol

Hopefully another Battle Report next week! :)

Thanks Matt. Yep you are correct. It was a small oversight. We will be putting a lot more Legions Imperialis content up soon :)

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy our next.

I think they are testing the water if people are interested in this system. Horus heresy has the benefit that you only have 3 major factions (model wise [space marine, imperial army, mechanicum]) but like 30 factions lore wise(legions, legios and human armys). Also a full 40k release with like 14 races all having somewhere around 15 different models (they need a somewhat full range with infantry (normal,assault heavy), artillery, tanks(light,medium,heavy),fast attack, dreadknoughts, knights, flyers, titans would be too costly. That would dwarf a new edition for mainline 40k in complexity. The designing and distribution would be a heavy investment and when people simply not buy it it would be a too big risk for gamesworkshop. My guess is we get 3 years of legions imperialis and later an extension for 40k probably starting with orks and eldar since both of them could appear during the heresy. And later tyranids and primaris since they are the posterboys for current warhammer.

Yeah I get you there! :) hope you enjoyed the report mate. More Legions Imperialis videos soon.

Oh yes. It will be brilliant and fast. 3k would be great.

Hiya Neil! Thanks for that. Means a lot. We do play a lot of games in various systems, so hope you do enjoy!

Awh thanks Ghost. Really appreciate the feedback. We are looking at ramping up our RU-vid content now. We love to game but always have so much to paint!

Hiya. On Page 57 it says: “as stated previously, when making a saving role, a natural 1 is not an automatic failure, and a natural 6 is not an automatic success - a model can have a 1+ armour save characteristic after modifiers (in which case it will automatically pass its save role) or be unable to pass a saving role on a single D6 due to the AP of the firing weapon (in which case it will automatically fail, it’s save roll). Hope you enjoyed the game otherwise. There were a few errors and we have bought Microphones now so speech is clearer! :)

@BattleBunniesTV Ah. Fair enough. I was referencing the rule from page 34.

Hiya Black Adder. I will try and get a video and guide up soon! :)

This was released under Horus Heresy, so no :/ Seems like a missed opportunity for GW.

​@@chaoticflanagani think it's probably a decision around balance

Hiya. I am sure at some point they would have room to expand the game to other races. Battles were bigger in the Horus Heresy too. On the board there were around 165 Space Marines (over a Company). So it could be done. I can imagine it happening eventually (probably set in the Great Crusade first to make the use of the Age of Darkness armies) before porting to the 40k Timeline with Primaris. They have most fliers for Xenos done already too which is great.

Hh fits the scale perfectly for this.

@BattleBunniesTV yeah I was doing some more digging and found they have no plans to add any xenos to legions imperialis. And all the xenos from aeronautica are being removed as anything from aeronautica and titanicus will be usable for LI. But who knows hopefully they change their minds because I think a lot of people want epic to come back.

I WANT TO DO MORE!! :D Need more enemies and units! Hopefully more in the next week or so mate :)

Because in a normal game you'll probably be running 3 or 4 times as much stuff as this. Stuff HAS to die fairly quick otherwise it would become a boring slogfest. They did quite a lot of rules wrong too but it's their first time. Dreadnoughts are for example, fairly tough against Light and Light AT and have invunerable saves.

Which bits? Tanks are multipart. Legionnes are single glue to base (apart from Missile Launchers).

@BattleBunniesTV thanks. For the tanks is it snap kit?

Yup. We dropped the ball (or dice in this instance). Brain went a bit to mush, as was trying to rush and record at the same time. Other than that, hope you enjoyed it.

@@BattleBunniesTV yea was great, please do more!

Will do!

Hiya. I am not too sure really. LI is a fast and simple ruleset though in my opinion.

@@BattleBunniesTVthanks im trying to pesade my brother

What? It's like a couple dice rolls. Bloody hell.

Hi Anchises. I thought it was quite fast. Especially when you come to 40K. We will try to do it faster next time though :)

@@FarseerB1rdy Playing with 3000 point and rolling multiple weapons systems for every miniature is going to make for some long, boring fire phases.

@@Anchises Disagree. Most weapons have 1-2 dice. Most units have 1 oe 2 weapons.

@@Anchises Disagree, between how fast units die and the amount of dice rolled, it's pretty low time wise. Bare in mind most detachments don't allow split fire unless it's Point Defence weapons (off the top of my head) so you won't taking time deliberating how to best split fire. AND you alternate firing - you're not literally watching your opponent fire everything he/she has. It's one Detachment, then you fire a detachment etc. You'll always be in the game. Example - 4 Kratos Tanks - a tank with a silly amount of guns. 4 x Battlecannons at 20" = 8 Dice (4 Dice at 10" or less) 4 x Kratos Lascannons = 8 Dice 4 x Kratos Sponson Lascannons = 4 Dice

Space Marines 1488 v Solar Auxilia 1494

Lol. I have better luck since I married Lauren! 🤣

🤣 Thanks mate! really appreciated LOL :)

Well the solar auxilia really lack skyfire right now, Itll be less powerful as more models release. I think in these early stages flyers will really dominate.

They got Jink completely wrong. Jink grants another Save Characteristic but you can only ever take ONE type of Save as per the rules. So either the 5+ Jink or it's Armour Save

Hiya. Jink we dropped the ball on. Was meant to be one save or the other. Not both. Will get it right next time.

@@BattleBunniesTV I've got a day off work and being incredibly excited about LI, I just couldn't help go over what rules I could find. Sorry for being "that comment" 🤣🤣🤣

No need to apologise mate! Appreciated.

Maybe one day!? They could do a Great Crusade Spin off at first. That would be good :)

Looks better imo

Hiya. Yeah they went round. I kinda prefer it now :)

🤡

I'll stick to 2D6, but feel free to use a D12, if you like...?
