Is 30K the wrong setting for LEGION IMPERIALIS?

Surely the micro kill-team game should be Lidl Soldiers.

[@ElAhrem]

[@semajnollissor661]

The original Titanicus and Space Marine was set during the Heresy, but it also included Eldar and Orks - because both existed in that time frame. It's just GW that minimizes their existence in the 'modern' HH setting.

[@badbones777]

I think the ELdar and Orks were added by the codex titanicus expansion (probably precisely because just having the space marines fighting space marined of the core game was pretty dull after a while and in any case the diversity of force options was a good idea). They folded it all together in one set for Space Marine, but that was set in 40k rather than the Heresy. EDIT folded it all together for Space Marine 2nd edition that is

[@semajnollissor661]

I was more referring to the Eldar titans introduced in White Dwarf 110, which were explicitly stated as showing up in battles during the Heresy to fight against the forces of Chaos.@@badbones777

@@semajnollissor661 WD 110 was also rules for troops in Adeptus Titanicus as well and predated Space Marine (WD110 was February 1989 and Space Marine came out in summer) and was basically Space Marine before Space Marine, but yes, they never really bothered with aliens much in the Heresy era, but then they never really settled on what the Heresy even was until 2nd edition beyond it being a civil war - it's part of why I'm not that interested in it. I loved that 2nd ed Space Marine came with 3 fairly playable and different armies, was a great game

[@jamesespinosa690]

Yeh, I've always wished they would drop at least an Ork codex for us to use our HH era armies against. Just for the fun at least. I think it's lame that they've shifted towards the siege of terra in 2.0. I don't think they properly covered early and mid heresy to begin with.

[@XX-jn8co]

@@jamesespinosa690 Honestly the lack of xenos in Horus Heresy is probably mostly to prevent the game becoming an alt-ruleset that competes with 40K but the xenos have definitely been weirdly underserved in a lore sense. Like people have been saying on Reddit that the human focus is inherent to the setting but in the past xenos absolutely were involved on the periphery. In the new version of the story it's almost like they're standing to one side like gentlemen and letting the Imperium get on with it.

It’s probably a safer bet to put out a Necromunda or Blood Bowl type specialist game that had a good, dedicated community and gradual release of new models and factions than to remake the behemoth that is 40K in tiny mode.

On the subject of cultural marines - on a painting group I’ve seen someone ask if there was a respectful way to do Māori themed marines and a Māori member of the group gave suggestions based on using a specific set of tattoos/designs that I believe were considered ok to use by outsiders. It was a pretty wholesome interaction. I’d say the key is approaching such schemes with a level of respect, not making it just stereotypes.

[@georgesutherlandhoward4417]

Yeah, when done right, it's a great way to learn about and teach others about cultures that haven't really had their time as anything other than stereotypes. And by moving beyond stereotypes, you can create something more unique and interesting that no one has done before. I mean, do you really think Warhammer Orcs would have drawn from football hooligan subculture if they had been made by people who weren't British? Sure, they're a comedy stereotype, but they're uniquely British in a lot of ways - I doubt an American would have the idea to bring the two elements together. Ultimately, we as creators and artists should strive to make an effort to involve people from within those cultures who have the expertise and sound advice to navigate the tricky waters of historical shittiness that a lot of these cultures have had to deal with. In your example, understanding how the Maori tattoos are really an important cultural touchstone and not just treating them all as interchangable rad-looking props is a great thing to do, and I'm glad to see more and more folks taking the time to listen and learn about these real human traditions and practices and the nuances contained within all of them.

[@uwesca6263]

You do have have 3 different factions model wise. Solar auxilia, space marines and mechanicum. All 3 of them have their own things. The big difference is that all 3 soup perfectly with each other. Narrativly and from a game perspective. (Also 70% would by the imperium side anyways) My bet is that they use this release to see what the interest is. When the heresy is over (bookwise) we get the scouring which is the perfect opportunity to introduce orks and eldar. From that to 40k is rather easy. Just primaris, tau, tyranids and necrons. Expecting that they release like 14 different factions with 15+ new miniatures each without even checking if the market wants it is asking for too much.

In defense of Horus Heresy, it allowed "tank" focused or terminator focused armies with a "rite of war" long before 40k caught up with an updated force org. It was fresh and different at the time, and used the 7th rules which were much preferred by some (including me). The new version is even better, and adds reactions which makes the game feel a lot more involved, a bit like the command point rerolls. The Age of Darkness box is also fantastic as a starter, and has nearly 2000 points worth of troops, and the barrier to entry is cheaper now.

You could end up with an awesome mix if they expand into great crusade/ xenos in the 30k timeline.

[@kirotheavenger60]

Isn't this just 40k but without the appeal of modern 40k? A huge part of the reason for setting it in the HH is they only need to create 2-3 ranges to cover the whole scope. In fact, the inability to bring all the 40k factions immediately into small scale is exactly where the HH was invented in the first place. In the initial release of Titanicus, and then Space Marine, they created the concept of this immense ancient civil war to explain why two identical factions were fighting each other.

travel kill team should be magnet bases and metal printed ruins etc. all on a 1ft square sheet.

[@quitamgogh]

you base the travel killteam minis on individual magnets and the board's a small metal sheet, so they don't get dislodged while you're traveling.

[@quitamgogh]

ah - you boys got there yourselves.

I could see them doing a great crusade suppliment to Legions. Would be a fun chance to see some races that arent in 40K, like the Rangda

[@roguetrooper5401]

Travel death team squad match sounds like a Kickstarter to me im in

[@colinirlam225]

I can't believe you didn't discuss the idea of using pegs for travel kill team. I.e. holes in the board and pegs underneath the model to slot them into the board. Just for the fun of saying when you had killed an opponent's model you had pegged them.

I just wanted to say . In regards to the sponsor . I sold War Daddy Miniatures a whole lot off Blood Angels Models . I recognized the metal Mephiston with the OSL effects haha . Can certainly tell you though I did not sell the models to him for the same price they are charging you lot :P

Trayzn was the only finecast character that survived in the new codex. So I'm assuming its coming later

I remember the death wing marines with the first nation people's theme in white dwarf when i was a kid. They were a kit bash featured in the model photographs section. I think they were based on some of the lore in one of the books at the time, or possibly a white dwarf article. They really made an impression on me at the time. They looked amazing, and remember being really annoyed when I realized they weren't an official kit.

So are we thinking Kickstarter for Travel Death Team Squad or what?

[@leesweeney8879]

Look at Polyversal fir a much better rule set. Use any mini. Web helper to make combat cards as well.

[@IVIaskerade]

I've said before that Great Crusade would be the ideal setting for it, since it gives them a limited range to play with that's still the most popular epic armies (Marines, Orks, Eldar, Guard), and also makes for an easy transition to 40k since you really only need to add necrons, daemons , and nids to get the "full" 40k experience what with marines and guard also being usable for chaos factions, giving you room to add Admech, Squats, and Tau later on as a third wave expansion and bring it up to 10e 40k.

[@Farglator]

Questions for you guys sounds great! Got a couple in mind ready to go! :-)

The Space Sharks (carchadons?) in the FW books had a Maori like markings Geoff.
