Games Workshop's new tabletop wargame, Legions Imperialis, set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, is highly anticipated by the gaming community. The game features a hyper-miniature scale, allowing players to field armies many times larger than in traditional wargames. However, the high model count and intricate assembly process of the miniatures expose Games Workshop to the threat of 3D printing and the use of proxy models. While the attention to detail in the models is admirable, the tedious building process may drive some fans to seek alternatives. Despite this, the game's potential for creative play and the option to build small-scale armies for The Horus Heresy make it an exciting addition to Games Workshop's catalog.

Games Workshop has introduced epic scale Drop Pods for the Legions Imperialis in Warhammer 40K. These self-contained orbital descent capsules can carry Space Marines down from orbit to the battlefield or deliver a deadly payload of rapid-firing missile launchers. The deployment and assembly of these Drop Pods are of interest to players, and they offer a tactical advantage in battles against Titans.

Games Workshop's decision to set the Legions Imperialis game in the Horus Heresy era instead of the current 40k timeline can be attributed to both lore and production reasons. Lore-wise, the Horus Heresy offers a larger scale of devastation, allowing for the use of massive armies and Titans. Production-wise, focusing on the Horus Heresy allows GW to support multiple armies with just one kit, simplifying production and inventory management. Additionally, it avoids the need to produce Xenos models and prevents cannibalization of their existing player base and resources. While the lack of Xenos models may disappoint some players, there is a possibility of expansion in the future. Ultimately, GW believes that the Horus Heresy is the safest play for launching a new game.
