Nice review. I see these launch boxes as a novelty luxury item rather than a sensible way to start an army. That said getting the big new character and 10 cavalry and the big gun makes a nice centrepiece. I guess that points per pound its not great value but the number of kits in the box and the cards and posh codex makes it easily worth the money. I'm not a guard player myself so I'm hoping Aeldari get a similar box.

I am not a fan of the new engineers. The old resin revolver-style shotguns were perfect, these new ones look like ridiculous nerf guns. And the blending of aesthetics of Engineers and Grenadiers is an unnecessary retcon. The Deathriders and Artillery are very cool.

Good quick review, nice work on the paint job. I'll definitely check out your other vids I found these a little awkward to put together. Mostly an issue with the peg holes being a little too small, I widh I had clipped the pegs as these are spikey minis and hard to keep pressure pushing gaps closed while glue sets :) The minis are surprisingly large which I like very much (Except the little snake/lizard buddies, but they are a welcome bit of whimsy).

The comment on list building is bs mate sorry to say. GW could totally appeal to both narrative and tournament style players. Why not have Narrative List Building PLUS Open List Building which could literally be a one page summary "if you want an all out war build use the units that have same region/faction keyword." Let players decide HOW they want to play and not decixe for them.

As OP said - probably licencing stuf and they NEED to force thematic army building, but they gave you full faction rosters to "check the rules <wink wink>. Now is matter of checking intelligence test by community just to allow building armies. Sadly at the start most of people failed it, but there is a lot of time to guide them.

I'm pleased to see the new units and characters come out, and they do look great. However, I think I'll pass on the big box. I had a quick look at GW's prices for NZ and it's $445. That's too much for me, even with all that stuff in the box. I'll be able to get it cheaper at my FLGS, but not that much cheaper. If I do get it, it'll likely be from an FLGS in Australia for just over half the full NZ price.

The Legions aren't limited to the movies. When the changed was first announced they mentioned they'd drawn inspiration from the books as well (because they have the rights for both). Yeah, it's a pain if you've got a non-standard soup list packed with tricks that keep your opponent on the back foot, but I would counter by saying the game was always meant to be played this way. In the Filmdeg interview with Rick Priestly he mentioned how all of the initial design had to be approved by the Tolkien Estate rights holders to ensure it accurately depicted what was in the movies (as that's what the initial license was for). Also, remember that what's in the rulebook is only ever a suggestion outside of official events and the like. If you and a friend want to have a battle where the Dwarfs of Khazad Dum come to the rescue of Minis Tirith as they battle all nine Nazgul, then go for it.
