Along with the release of the Legions Imperialis game system, we got some new tiles for future games. but are they worth the money? ‪@officialwarhammer‬ sent me over a set of them for review, but I'm not convinced yet I'll buy any more for myself. I applied one of my base schemes to a tile to show you guys how easy they are to paint up if you are planning to get them! I think they could also be cool for some Necromunda games too? What do you guys think?

I think the problem with the LI boards is that they're priced similarly to the Zone Mortalis boards, but for the ZM boards the three-dimensionality is functional; you use them to lock Zone Mortalis column and wall pieces in place. Here the three-dimensionality is aesthetic; it looks nice, but a game mat would do the same job just as well, come pre-colored, and cost significantly less.

I love the paint job. Only reason I wouldn't add the black blast marks is because I would use them for other non-war games, so ignore that as you see fit. Price? OMG, that's over the top even for GW. If I can't build it, I don't need it, and I can build this easily enough. Good vid, Merry Christmas to all, see you all next year!!!

I liked the effect the final touch with the airbrush added. I think any building video you make would be great. I'd like to see how you paint those up and make them look war torn too. As for the tiles themselves I feel the price and number of them you need is too much of a barrier for entry for me. I'm just going to wait for someone to come out with a mat.

I like this, it's a great multi use video, for Imperialous or if you're making your own board and need to set up the "floor" so that's cool. I think the airbrush helped because the board is meant to help create a backdrop for your match or diorama so I think the scorch marks helped maybe not in a game play perspective but in a narrative one :) I also think these panels would be good for a 40k board maybe or just making dioramas build them up and creat a scene from a book Great video as always Andy

Great paintjob. For the buildings: i currently use my pipe systems from the vertigus terrain as well as the auspex shrine and some other smaller bits as terrain. Its not 100% perfect but if there is one setting with battles in an industry zone with pipes that could fit an tank inside than its warhammer :D

The black on the road especial on the craters is fine but on the left piece where you did the 3 dods its not doning it, on some places you could have take the airbrush some more distance. but this is my idea. but nice roads

No your rite for sure. After I added those bits I regretted it immediately

@rbrentw 6 ай бұрын

I bought three sets instead of four. I won't be playing 3k games but mostly 4x4. Even if I want to run 4x5 later, I can just have six inches of ground on each side of the tiles. The board doesn't have to be 100% city tiles. I was also limited to two per order but I placed a second order immediately for a single set. It was very odd GW limited this item and it never sold out.

I would say that the reasoning behind limiting the purchase of the boards was to prevent scalpers sucking supply dry and then dumping the product on the market through E-bay at inflated prices. Would not be the first time that happened in Australia.

The painting is great! I wouldn't spend anything on these tiles. I could buy a mat, multiple themes of terrain and a starter box, for the cost of a tables worth. I paint my bases similarly to this for my Alpha legion and it's so beautiful

@MediocreHobbies 6 ай бұрын

Pretty much my feeling on it as well.

@kglguy 6 ай бұрын

These tiles look nice, but between the cost, and locking yourself into doing a cityscape, I think I'll pass on them. I already have a couple of neoprene mats for Titanicus, so I'll stick with those.

Meanwhile, the tiles don't have to be the whole of your gaming board. You could have a transition from cityscape to countryside. Just use cardboard for the transition from one to the other and extending the roads.

@blkjet117 6 ай бұрын

Love your videos. Looking forward to building videos, both building and painting. IMHO you went too far, for two reasons. You used the sponge method for the majority, which is great for us non air brush owners. I think you could have done the last bit with a sponge also, but I would have only done the actual blast marks. I would imagine that you could have used an airbrush for the whole thing which would have speed up the whole process. Second, the airbrush lines takes the eye away from the beautiful tile, and just looks out of place. I'm not sure the brown cracks was the best choice. Cracks in asphalt usually look darker.
