A little handy tip with missile launchers is you can stick a sergeant with chainsword or some of the inevitable extra hq pieces with 4 missile launchers instead of a base of full 5. Freeing up 2 per sprue (cause of the extras) which is enough for a 3rd base per box. Some people might not like to do this but it looks fine to me !
Agreed, I've also seen this on the Facebook groups for Terminators - just mount 4 per base. Since they are bigger 5 looks crowded. For missile launchers, back in Epic 40k & Armageddon, it was normal to use 3 marines and only 2 missile launchers on a single base.
Regarding the 2 missile launchers per base in epic 40k. In 40K a heavy weapons squad can only take 4 heavy weapons, so 2 per base fits in. In 30k every member of the squad has a heavy weapon, so it doesn't fit as well. personally I would be happy with players using tactical marines with one of those coloured dot stickers (or something similar) on the base with an "M" on it. It allows players time to try things out before spending the time/money on getting the correct models@@rbrentw
@@riChchestMat rulebook states, "If, for whatever reason, a base includes fewer figures than normal then leeway should be given to an opponent when determining line of sight." Also mentions to distribute figures evenly across the base, so if I only eliminate the middle figure and the four outer are still in place, then does it really impact LOS? I guess it depends on your group but I don't plan to play competitively.
Thank you! They definitely will, I've just been out of town working on something the past couple weeks AND my phone broke (currently what I use to record). Should be back on track next week and with the holidays finally behind us, uploading more regularl
Really appreciate the analysis here. I'm starting IF and found this by accident but subscribing to see your other tips. I know they plan on releasing a new infantry box in the next wave that hinted at tons of heavy support(termies, heavy weapon teams, specialists etc) so I bet that's where we're going to see a lot of value coming out. Other thing I've seen from my group and various posters on it is that many armies are probably going to include more than one legion so you could balance IF's infantry strengths with another legions other strengths to help shore up those limitations. That would obviously be easier as you increase your game size too. Thanks again for this awesome video!
🤪 CRAZY! I was just about to start my Imperial Fist Imperialis Army. This video spoke to me directly! And you're covering the Heresy and Legions Imperialis. New subscriber here! 🤘
I played epic scale back in the 90's, & have been waiting for GW to support Epic for about 15 years now. I am a massively prolific gamer, but this one blows them all away. I am singularly focused and completely All In!
Thank you, was the music too loud or did you just not like it period? (I'm still learning the best ways to fine tune this audio so any feedback is helpful)
I was going to turn my solar auxilia into a penal legion formation to work with my space marine legion. @@SalemtheAmateur My biggest struggle right now is which legion to turn my army into since there are 2 or 3 I really like.
Howdy! Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately LI just didn't really take off in my area and I wasn't comfortable putting out content that was increasingly going to be pure speculation. I'm continuing to keep my pulse on the system itself, hoping it'll catch some wind further down the line but at the moment I don't anticipate more *regular* content for it
Again, CRAZY! 😜 When you brought up aircraft, I had already had the thought... The whole point of epic scale is to include air power, artillery, VULNERABLE buildings, and titans! Otherwise, just play 40K...

5 per base is what the rulebooks says as it affects line of sight. Personally, I’d accept substitutions, but not smaller models

Just want to comment to say I've really enjoyed these, so I hope they carry on. No pressure though: I realise this sort of thing is a lot of work.

Glad your better and back at videos you rock

Very good analysis. I'm looking forward to the Solar Auxilia video, as that's what I've settled on.
Intelligent and articulate, great analysis thanks!
(Background music was quite annoying though)

@@SalemtheAmateur I just didn’t like it. Found it distracting.
@@SalemtheAmateurless is more. Not necessarily bad, just not needed and distracting. Good video otherwise
Something that wasn't really touched on in the video is that the imperial fists ability would also grant accurate during overwatch
An excellent point!
The real question is how is that hat staying on your head 😂 Liking the vids 👍
Night lords as the next legion?I know they’re bad I just love them way too much
Can you try doing blood angels or world eaters next? please and thank you
Promised I'd do a Solar Auxilia list next but after that you got it!

Ahhhh, another soul who relishes the grinding din of chain ⛓️ weapons, & the LOVE of swirling melee!! 💪❤
I'm sorry but I can't hear you over the sound of my chain axe roar! NAAAANG NAAANG@@BMichaelGalloway
Love your LI man, any chance for more videos?! Seems like u sorta stopped

Imperial Fists Demi company - 520pts rocketmen
Ultramarine armour legion - air support
World Eaters aerial detachment
You can get a good 3D printer for about $250. Then you can print as many missile launchers as you want.
Air support sucks in this game
I hope they are not viable. I want Imperial Fist players to cry, because their tears are delicious.
