Once we start playing points values that allow for Horus I'm not sure I'll ever take another LoW again. Maybe my Warhound when I want to create a No-Fun Zone (this maximizes my fun).

Recoome posted:There was a guide or something to Sons of Horus dudes using a Vallejo paint and a wash, but I can't find it. I'm thinking about doing them but I want to do up a test piece first, otherwise I'm going with Iron Warriors. I do: 1)Zenithal Prime 2)Basecoat of Vallejo German Army Uniform 3)Wash of GW Coelia Greenshade 4)Gold Trim 5)Black Wash 6)Highlight with German Army Uniform and a medium grey, GW Dawnstone or whatever This looks pretty good to me. If you want a richer green color instead of the pale green this produces, use USMC Tank Crew from the Vallejo Panzer Aces line.

I think the hair is fine . I think Mortarion is the worst looking of the bunch, what does everybody else think? The pose is just awkward and static, and not in a cool way where it's obviously propaganda like Horus or Roboute.

The Black Reaving isn't bad, it's just that Maloghurst is like the best character in the game and provides basically the same benefits. Yeah Rage for charging into existing combats could be cool but Sons of Horus is already really good at CC.

I made a separate Battlescribe catalog for our group's campaign so that I wouldn't have to fudge the numbers in a regular session. Making catalogs is usually pretty easy but gently caress making them from scratch for 30k.

I just had the most ideal game of Warhammer 30,000. Nobody had any fun, Hixson and I didn't know what the mission was until the last turn of the game, and we were all mad at the end. On the plus side, at least no models were smashed and Bulbasaur only sort of hated the pizza we got!

Highlight of our game was a souped up blood angle chaplain in artificer armor with a photonic blade failing to cause any wounds at all and instead getting killed by my praetor with lightning claws in one round of combat. Traitor supremacy bitch.

Man I really like these Sons of Horus changes. Terminators get an insane buff, and even their Legion rules got buffed too. That +1BS to shooting within 12" is pretty cool, especially with all the outflanking and deep striking you can do. Really looking forward to dropping Horus and a 12-man squad of Justaerin to wipe out whatever they look at.

So I want to try and get this going, looking for any advice as I've never run one before, let alone for 30k. We're doing an escalation league right now. Low points 30k matches are actually pretty cool because you have to be real thoughtful about what you take.

That Sons of Horus list looks pretty good. I'm a big fan of power fists on the Reaver chieftains personally, just because they have so many attacks. The Vindicator is probably ok, I like the Rapier platforms myself just because T7 is pretty hard to kill and there's more ablative wounds in a full squad. You might consider using the new Sons of Horus Rite of War The Long March, which will give your outflanking Reavers Crusader (as long as they're in your enemy's deployment), which is a pretty bonkers special rule in 30k. You could also give your 5-man Reaver squad a dreadclaw to benefit from the re-rolling 1s on the first turn and to give them the +1BS for shooting within 12".

Sulecrist posted:Hmm. For 2150 I could drop Maloghurst and add the Anvillus and a second tactical squad, although I feel weird about using a 100-point transport to deliver a disposable 200-point unit. I don't think I want to/can fit a Dreadclaw in at 1850, and at 2150 without Maloghurst I'd need a Praetor or Delegatus or Horus or Abaddon to take the Rite that turns it on. No reason not to use Long March at 1850, though; as best I can tell it's just a free bonus. Sulecrist posted:Hmm.

No reason not to use Long March at 1850, though; as best I can tell it's just a free bonus. Well I should add I usually go 2 squads of 10 reavers, one outflanking with jump packs and one deep striking in a Dreadclaw. I think that works pretty well and gives you pretty good odds of turning on the Merciless Fighters bonus. As for Rapiers vs Vindicators I think it's probably dependent on your meta. If there's lots of artillery and big blasts the Vindicator is probably better due to taking fewer HP/pinning tests (assuming they don't just blow it up), but T7 is generally harder to deal with than AV13/11/10. Bulbasaur brings a pair of Vindicators most games and they're occasionally relevant. My Rapier platforms haven't performed that much better honestly, although the last time we played they kind of warped the deployment and forced Bulbasaur/Stanyer to stay out of their kill zone.

Single lightning claw is dope as gently caress on all terminators. It's pretty rare that you'll actually get the merciless fighters bonus, since your typical 5 man squad will only count as 10 models so axes aren't as bad as you might think, especially with Furious Charge making you S6. With Justaerin having chosen warriors though, anybody can challenge, so having a mix is good to give you a chance against everything.

Sons are really good at infantry-heavy armies with lots of reserves. Good Rites of War to consider are The Long March and the Orbital Assault one that lets you take Drop Pods. They're not bad at anything, but you don't really gain much from units that aren't trying to get in assault.

With the changes to the Justaerin I don't think Sons of Horus really have any trap units. Reavers are sick with jump packs and Outflank. Their only real bad units are Abaddon and Loken. Maloghurst is probably the best special character in the game for the points.

Sulecrist posted:On paper Abaddon doesn't seem godawful, just less of a head-to-head combat monster than a vanilla Paragon Blade Praetor. He's essentially a Tartaros Praetor with an Iron Halo and MC powerfist (MSRP 170), which is all pretty reasonable, and then he went out and got a Grenade Harness and an off-hand power sword for some reason, and then he's +1 WS, Precision Strike (prolly irrelevant), Teleporter Assault (prolly irrelevant) and most importantly Fearless for 215 total. I'm considering eventually getting him to lead a blob at bigger games since unlike Maloghurst he wouldn't slow them down. Plus he's got a sweet model. I think the problem is that he's just not really good at anything. He doesn't have enough attacks to slay blobs of dudes, if you attack with the power fist you're in danger of dying to some schmuck with a paragon blade, he doesn't make Terminators troops, and his warlord trait is godawful. Fearless is dope though, so is not being slowed down by the Terminator armor. For 215 points, though, it just seems like you should be getting more.
