Legions Imperialis – Liber Strategia
The new releases for Legions Imperialis not only cover plastic miniatures, but also a new supplement: the Liber Strategia.
This 240-page book brings together all the army lists previous released in the core rulebook and three campaign supplements into a single hard cover and adds further Iconic Formations (Formations of Legend) along with the new entries in the army list from this release. It therefore covers all current formations and units for the Legiones Astartes, Solar Auxilia, Mechanicum Taghmata, Dark Mechanicum, Collegia Titanica and Knight Households the army lists.
Pre-order opens today on August 23rd, and the book will be available in store on September 6th. The RRP is 40 GBP / 51,25 EUR.
Legions Imperialis – Spartan Assault Tanks
On Tuesday, we discussed the Land Raider Proteus Explorator, and today, we will introduce its larger counterpart: the Spartan Assault Tank for Legions Imperialis.
We saw the plastic kit of this model in 2022, and last year the Spartan Assault Tanks were added to Legions Imperialis as a squadron of four vehicles, with an RRP of 31.50 GBP / €41 EUR.
Legions Imperialis – Land Raider Proteus Explorator Squadron
In anticipation of the upcoming releases for Legions Imperialis, we are going to fill some gaps in our reviews, beginning with the Land Raider Proteus.
The iconic Space Marine vehicle is available in Legions Imperialis as a Land Raider Proteus Explorator Squadron of six vehicles at a RRP of 31,50 GBP / 41 EUR.
Age of Sigmar – Realmscape Guardian Idol
The Realmscape Guardian Idol is part of the Realmscape terrain range and was included twice in the Stormbringer series by Hachette (issues 65 and 74).
The Guardian Idol was included in the Realmscape Expansion Set and the Age of Sigmar Extremis Starter Set alongside other terrain pieces such as the Realmscape Ruins and the Nexus Syphon.
Marvel Crisis Protocol – Inhuman Royal Court
Today, we will be reviewing the fourth box in our Marvel Crisis Protocol series: the CP166 Inhuman Royal Court.
This affiliation pack, CP166 Inhuman Royal Court, has an RRP of 64,99 USD and contains four miniatures.
As the Inhumans were not as prominent or successful in the MCU — they "only" had a TV series that was cancelled after one season — I would like to briefly introduce the Royal Court. They are the ruling body of the Inhumans, a genetically advanced offshoot of humanity created by the Kree. Residing in the hidden city of Attilan, the Royal Court governs their isolated and highly stratified society. Each member plays a unique role, balancing political, philosophical and military responsibilities, and protecting Inhuman culture and interests from outside threats.
If you have access to Disney+, you can stream the TV show there.
The set includes the following items:
Marvel Crisis Protocol – Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing
After Star Wars Legion and Star Wars Shatterpoint we jump to Marvel Crisis Protocol, who had their own roadmap introduced at Adepticon by Asmodee / Atomic Mass Games. In this case we have a double-feature and cover Yondu & Nova as well as Elsa Bloodstone & Man-Thing. But each in their own review, continuing with Elsa and Man-Thing.
The second character pack, CP186 Elsa Bloodstone & Man-Thing, is available for a RRP of 44.99 USD. Slightly more expensive than CP126, but we have larger miniatures and more content in here, which justifies this decision, but more on that within this review.
The set includes the following items:
Marvel Crisis Protocol – Yondu and Nova
For the next Marvel Crisis Protocol reviews, we have a double feature of character duos, starting with Yondu Udonta and Nova/Richard Rider. Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing will receive their own unboxing and build review.
This character pack, CP126 Yondu & Nova, is available for a RRP of 39.99 USD. Both heroes are probably best known for their appearances in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, but more on that below.
The set includes the following items:
Warhammer The Old World – Grand Cathay Battalion
We are pleased to welcome a brand new army to the Warhammer The Old World tabletop - the forces of Grand Cathay. Those of you who play the Total War: Warhammer Series know more about this than those who have stuck with the miniature game, which is why we are going to cover the battalion in a slightly different way.
Games Workshop sent us the Grand Cathay Battalion boxed set, which is available for pre-order from June 21st and will officially be released on July 5th, with an RRP of 145 EUR or 110 GBP.
But before we unbox the battalion and take a closer look at its contents, we want to introduce Cathay in a similar way to how we did it with the first two Old World factions:
Black Seas – Master & Commander Starter Set
Warlord Games is establishing itself as a major player in the world of naval wargaming. It started with Cruel Seas, which covers the coastal battles of World War II at a scale of 1:300, and has expanded to include the Age of Sail with Black Seas, which is also at a scale of 1:700 and accompanies Black Powder.
What better way to introduce someone to these new systems than with a proper starter set? They did just that with Strike Fast, Strike Hard! for Cruel Seas, and have now done the same with Master & Commander for Black Seas.
This box can be used as a two-player starter kit or as a large starter fleet for one player, as the ships are generic and can be used by any nation. The set includes the 96-page rulebook, nine vessels and lots of gaming material, which we will take a closer look at below. The Master & Commander starter set has an RRP of £59.
Star Wars Shatterpoint – Wisdom of the Council Squad Pack
As mentioned in the Outer Rims Terrain Battles Pack, we received several items from Asmodee from the Adepticon Roadmap for 2025. Among them were two Shatterpoint sets, Wisdom of the Council and Requesting Your Surrender. Today's review will cover the Council Squad Pack, which includes Jedi Masters and Padawan.
The SWP 50 Wisdom of the Council Squad Pack has an RRP of 49,99 USD and contains four miniatures for the game.
- Jedi Master Shaak Ti, Togruta
- Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, Cerean
- Ithorian Padawan Learner
- and a female Padawan Learner who can be built either as a Human, Zabrak, Nautolan, or Rodian
This squad pack is set in the Clone Wars era of the game.
The miniatures are all inside a single sprue, as well as the four 40mm bases. And we get a lot of game material in five (!) different languages - English, French, German, Polish and Spanish. This will be streamlined in upcoming products.
