All I've bought so far is AoD and Fafnir, and I have a NotRogal Dorn printed up from a friend. Is this dumb? Not every Dread would have heavy bolters or assault cannons, as those are fun with Fists, but I think they'd lack punching through mechanized armor. Knights and Armigers of the FW variety will be their own army when mech drops. We don't have rules for them yet, but I'd wager that FotA with an all knight allied detachment would be beardy as all gently caress especially at low point levels. Not to say you can't do them both, but its not gonna be a fun matchup for most people unless you talk to them ahead of time. Which kinda sucks, I like knights and dreads too. Your other option is to go light into both... run a more balanced list. Take a balanced FotA list with 4-5 dreads with 1-3 knight allies as your 'LoW' in big rear end games. I think most people would be ok playing that at around 3K or higher.

I appreciate the feedback! I figure I can slap in some Wardens or Breachers with Fafnir, and rely on that at lower values. I'm playing just with friends, so we'll call each other on BS.

War and Pieces posted:imagine being the dreadnaught who has to run coms or haul the baggage train This is Imperial Fists we're talking about, the Dreadnaught hauling the baggage train is probably a much desired job. After all, how else will you get to "Three tons is the max weight for a Dreadnought to haul? Those are ROOKIE NUMBERS! Add on another ton! Or two tons! I'll haul them all the way to Macragge!"

Thanks for all the excellent feedback! This is kind of a mix of what I have (lots of tacticals), now most the Space Marine Infantry is not built...yet. So is there any way to make them Anti-armor capable? I have all the weapons still on the sprues.

Imperial Fists officers brag about crunch. If the Crusade Force consists entirely of Imperial Fists, All troops gain "GRIND INFANTRY": GRIND INFANTRY don't HAVE to secure the objective, but if none of them volunteer to secure the objective this turn, then the whole army has move on the objective next turn guys, c'mon be a team player. Really, Rogal Dorn thinks of the Imperial Fists Legion as more of a family. If you take a GRIND INFANTRY unit without any upgrades, do you really want to have the minimum amount of flair?

I got my box the other day and I am having a super hard time picking which legion I want to play. I asked on the other page about the Ultramarines but right now it's a three way tie between them, Salamander, and Iron Warriors.

My advice would be pick a legion that you think is interesting independent of their rules. The rules will change but if you’re just a fan of the legion it will keep you motivated to keep working on them

Has anyone seen any decent tutorials for the new rules yet? I’ve seen battle reports but nothing really dealing with the rules, besides the person was going through every page which isn’t really what I’m looking for.

Lucinice posted:The box set pretty much provides the kind of army I'm looking for. Ranged infantry with dreadnought and/or tank support. Both Iron Warriors and Ultramarines tend to be good at that. Iron Warriors are all about massed Bolter fire supported by heavy weapons (wielded by infantry, Dreadnoughts, or Vehicles) and artillery. They seem to be both simple and good this edition, just doing a quick once-over of their rules. Pinning Bolters should not be underestimated in an edition reliant on denying your enemies the ability to react (both with the reaction mechanic and in terms of tactics) and the boost to anti-armor is incredibly strong. Ultramarines, on the other hand, are all about multiple units coordinating together to either grant or stack bonuses. They look to be pretty strong as well, and Invictus Suzerains, one of their unique units, look ridiculously good for the cost (too good, really). I'd wager they'll be the harder of the two to play well, just due to the reliance on synergy and triggering special rules at the right time, but they look to be a fun legion to play. In addition, you have the added benefit of playing Ultramarines in an era where they are cool and good, rather than in 40k where they're the boring poster-boys of the setting. Hixson posted:My advice would be pick a legion that you think is interesting independent of their rules.

Pick a legion that you think looks/sounds cool, that you think you will enjoy modeling and painting, and go with that.

Is there a decent listbuilder yet? My eyes start to glaze over when I think about making a spreadsheet for playing around with listbuilding. This is my first foray into 30k, so I don't know where to really start with building a list. Usually with new game systems it helps when I can mess around building different options.

See that's the problem because those are the factions I think are cool. I'd say with Ultramarines I'm not as much into them as the other two but they have the advantage of the box preators matching their aesthetic. So tell me how do the Salamanders play? I know flame weapons are their thing but what else do they have?

The big secret to the success of Horus Heresy is that every faction can do anything. Anything. You want a cool tank company? Of course Iron Hands have them, but buddy so do the World Eaters. Also, you are going to be spending hundreds of hours with these lil toy soldiers, so pick a color you like too. World Eaters was my 1st choice for army, but the difficulty of painting all that white was too much for me at the time. For the new edition I am finally going to do Word Bearers because I love the fluff, and maybe revisit a World Eaters ZM force because my painting has improved over the years. All the Legions are cool, so you can't go too wrong with any of them.

In general, you want to decide on which legion and which RoW you want to use. Based on those two choices you will be locked into taking certain HQs and compulsory troops. You will then need to think about how to make those choices meaningful (IE: are 10 tacticals standing around doing nothing really that useful, compared to 10 in a rhino, or 20 with an apothecary, or perhaps taking assault marines instead, etc). That ends up being your core and from there you can continue adding units to pad out your shortcomings- something to deal with armor, something to deal with dreads, something to deal with terminators, etc. The best lists and units are the ones that can check multiple boxes. That's list building in a nutshell. For many fluff is another consideration. Yes, white scars can take dreads like everybody, but they explicitly don't use them often in the fluff. Taking an all dread scars list would be legal, but probably not thematic. Not to say you can't do that, but its certainly a consideration lots of people make.
