The '80s Epic system still casts a long shadow, and you can feel it in this Legions Imperialis starter set. Besides being described as 'Epic Scale' (which isn't entirely true, because the original models are smaller), it's a clear love-letter to games like Space Marine and Epic 40,000. Crunchy, tactical, and staggering in scope, it's a glammed-up version of everything its predecessors wanted to be.
This is something fans have waited years for, and they'll almost certainly appreciate the result. But is the Legions Imperialis starter set a good place to kick things off for veterans and newcomers? Well, sort of. Although it gets you into the thick of a compelling (if swingy) game, there's some room for improvement with the box set itself.
