The Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis starter set is a comprehensive package introducing you to the wargame set in the brutal Horus Heresy era.

Key Product Features
Legions Imperialis Model Scale
The Legions Imperialis system features an epic scale, enabling battles on an unprecedented scale. Models in this system are approximately four times smaller than standard Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, corresponding to approximately 1:200 scale (similar to systems like Adeptus Titanicus). This allows for fielding expansive armies, consisting of numerous units, tanks, and mighty combat Titans.
The set includes a total of 223 plastic miniatures, which, once assembled, form 61 models representing two full armies: Legiones Astartes (Space Marines) and Solar Auxilia. These models can be used as both Loyalist and Traitor units, offering flexibility in collection building and scenario creation.
