[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

I was excited to try this out… it $180 for the starter (and of course it’s not available) is a nonstarter. Not saying it’s not noticed correctly, but it just doesn’t fit my gaming budget. I will have fun watching you all play! Well done Ps at least they have decals. The markers - at least they have them, but a heavier cardstock would be nice if not plastic

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah, it is GW therefore is crazy expensive

[@paulparker5456]

Brilliant guys. Can’t wait for a battle report 😊

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

It will come, once we get them painted.

[@rogerjakko]

At first I thought, I'm losing the will to live ...... 'Death by yet another Unboxing Video' Having said that, you guys are premier league gamers, are always entertaining and you don't disappoint here. The best one I've seen. Am so looking forward to some of your Battle Reports guys.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

We do a lot of reviews on the channel - I felt the 5 minute unboxing video is done to death, and largely useless. Our content doesn't suit everyone, but if you want more detail, we try to give it.

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

I’m glad of these videos and people like them. Spending this kind of money 💰 I want to see what’s in the box and what people think first

[@emocelot]

The tokens are very sad. Considering the 2018 kill team tokens were basically the same icons, and on proper punch-out card. I'll likely be using those instead

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah - its crazy that they are core to the game and so flimsy.

[@Gamerswithcoffee]

Thank you guys for sharing. Been looking at this I do agree the tokens are are sad shape. .interesting bases ..how ever this should be interesting

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

My thoughts exactly. Those tokens really annoyed me.

[@6Stevo]

I feel like this game is gonna prove quite popular.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

You might be right mate.

[@TheAVeidt]

I would never collect 28mm Warhammer, but this epic version certainly attracts my attention!

[@drguineapig8755]

I already got a knight box, 2 Reavers(one of each variant), the starter box, and 2 infantry boxes.

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

Yes always best to have a friend and split these sets

[@marcmiddleton2277]

I'm building up enough so a friend can play to get him to get his own 🤣

[@thewoodlandschoolltd3999]

Bit disappointing about cardboard tokens that will fall apart when you spill your beer and pretzels on them

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Oh they are truly pathetic - on a £120 retail set they really skimped on those tokens.

[@thewoodlandschoolltd3999]

@@ModellingforAdvantage it wouldn't be tricky to plastic cast some good tokens, but then you might have to reuse them when V2 comes out next year.

[@kitchenwargamers4141]

Fantastic unboxing and talk though. I am still on the fence about getting this, so will see how things go in the new year. But yes it would have been great to get some rhinos in with it. Thanks guys 😁 👍

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

It is not for everyone, but it does look very similar to the 90s game.

[@joehill6916]

Am the sort of sicko who genuinely enjoys building fiddly tiny vehicles. I really like all the sculpts here; my main issue with LI I think will just be finding someone to play with (to the point where I’ll likely slowly build up an astartes and a solar force so me and a mate can play, rather than relying on finding other LI players)

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

A common problem with wargaming sadly.

[@MedievalWargamer]

Great unboxing guys! Love your enthusiasm! I do not know much about Legions Imperialis so I cant judge but I enjoyed the video!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Thanks so much!!

[@michaelgrant9293]

Thanks gents for a most comprehensive unboxing. I will probably pick this up - I think this will tap into a lot of nostalgia for gamers of a certain age, myself included as well as 30k/40k players. I used to play Adeptus Titanicus and Space Marine back in the day and absolutely loved them. Many happy hours spent at the games club or mates houses playing the old Epic. This looks like it is going to be a really good game.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Nostalgia is a big part of this game for me too.

[@Nergling]

Really like these models... but is it time to jump into another scale? Hmmm!!!!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I have been waiting for this for years.

[@dang1977]

Those aren't "artillery doofers" on the rear of the Leman Russes - they're trench rails like they used to have on some old tanks to improve their trench-crossing ability!

[@jbatchelor85]

Oh.... So.... trench doofers, schweet!

[@dang1977]

@@jbatchelor85 Haha! Yep!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Doofers - a universal word for something we don't know the actual name of.

[@rich_john]

Great review. Remember space marine back in the 90s, great game

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Me too - I have such fond memories of it.

[@marcmiddleton2277]

Tactical Rocks! Tactical Rocks for Everyone!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Only way to be fair.

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

Interesting - I'm still not tempted (which is just as well as it's sold out everywhere at the moment), but I'm really keen to see you guys giving it a go - maybe I'll get on board down the line (although that's more likely if they bring it up to 40K time frame as I'd want Orks!) Great unboxing once again - thanks!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Glad you enjoyed it mate - if it is as good as it looks, we will be playing a lot of it.

[@marcmiddleton2277]

Seen the Malcador guns magnetized and pulled out the front

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Interesting

[@marcmiddleton2277]

@ModellingforAdvantage I can't find the short that had it or who did it. But it was done. Also put magnets on the baneblade sponsons. Did see on Cults someone made printable sponsons with magnets for the predators.

[@tonycarew3057]

Why couldn't they have done battlespace gothic instead:(

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

I am gonna call it now - I am guessing 2025.

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

It’s the right time period to set it in , love ❤️ the setting. A time period in the lore when 50,000 space marines walking around was the norm in one formation. Sadly I gave up warhammer after 20 years due to company behaviour and crazy pricing. But this does look good 👍 if there are knights in there is 4 factions 😊

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

Great comments on the tokens they are not acceptable , warlord gives you plastic

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Fact.

[@Nothing-1w3]

Never thought id see the day

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Indeed.

[@mattcappelli5822]

Looks cool, but with all G-Dub stuff, I’m suspect. It’s going to be a rather pricey affair to field a true company of marines and like Horus Heresy, I feel like it has the potential to get stale with marine on marine battles. Interested to see where this goes before jumping in

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

This game is hugely expensive, as I looked at the expansion kits, I should have done that before making the video.

[@mattcappelli5822]

@@ModellingforAdvantage that’s what stinks. I was pretty interested, but to field a viable army, you have to spend what you’d spend on a 40k army. I think I’ll keep an eye out on Epic Warpath. Suspect that will be much cheaper
