Legions Imperialis

Legions Imperialis is Games Workshop's return to epic-scale warfare, covering the Horus Heresy with hundreds of miniatures on a single table. At 8mm, individual Space Marines are tiny but recognizable, and Titans loom over entire formations.

Legions Imperialis uses 8mm scale, matching the older Adeptus Titanicus range. The scale is designed so that a Titan miniature is roughly the same physical size as a 28mm infantry model, creating an intentionally dramatic size contrast on the table.

3D Printing Tips for Legions

At 8mm, resin printing is essential for infantry — FDM cannot reliably produce details at this scale. Print at 0.2mm nozzle and 0.04mm layers. Vehicles and Titans are larger and more forgiving. Use contrast paints or washes heavily — at this scale, speed-painting techniques are more practical than layering.
