Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes Units
A lot of questions were around, what is coming next for Legions Imperialis? Where is the game going and what is missing? And therefore I tought it would be useful to provide an overview of what we currently have and what is missing. I am using for reference the Horus Heresy books and cross-reference them with the supplements we have for Legions Imperialis so far and will provide the list below. Starting with the Space Marines / Legiones Astartes, but will cover the Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum as well.
As we currently have no legiones specific units in Legions Imperialis, only formations that we saw in The Devastation of Tallarn, I'll skip them for the purpose of clarity.

The Astartes are of now the ones with the biggest gaps in their lines, but in some cases it is unclear if those units will make it into Epic scale, for example some of the infantry variants. Some tanks like the Vindicator and Scorpius are quite likely, and I surely hope that we will see some of the Heavy and Super Heavy choices from the Lords of War section. But with this we have an orientation what could fit in upcoming supplements - along with entire new army lists, as the Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum are very close to being complete.
