Were Luna Wolves still loyal when they switched to being Sons of Horus? I love the colour scheme of SoH and I'm still trying to decide between Alpha and them.

There's also presumably army sized detachments sent elsewhere around the galaxy or attached to other legion's expeditions that had no idea about what happened and are still loyal to Terra, although they'd have to earn their trust.

I think I'm going to order in one and a five-bunch of resin Catahpractii bodies - I'll use one set to fill up my existing five-man heavy flamer squad and use the leftover plastic claws for a five-man clawnator squad.

Just wait a bit and I'm sure the plastic sprue will be cheaper than 5 resin bodies.

Edit: yeah 5 resin bodies is sixty bucks after shipping, no way the plastic sprue will be more than that.

They don't have the mobility to put out new product that quickly in any shape. Besides, we knew about this release long before we had any idea how terrible fantasy would become.

It's also pretty much confirmed by John Gramaticus and the alien council.

The going theory is that the Alpha Legion has a split, with Alpharius going all in with the Heresy and Omegon deciding to return to the Emperor. Eventually Omegon joins Garro's group, and becomes Janus, the first Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights.

Leaked Dark Angels legion rules.
Schismatic Indignation
All models with Legion Astartes (Dark Angels) special rule gain +3 to WS when in assault with enemy models with the Legion Astartes (Dark Angels) special rule.

Poignant determination
All units with the Legion Astartes (Dark Angels) special rule may re-roll failed pinning tests when falling back.

Peritus Plumbum
All units with the Legion Astartes (Dark Angels) special rule may re-roll 1s when using Rotor Cannons.

They need a drawback. Make it so the Rotor Cannons also have to reroll 6's.

Looking at the sprues, it'll probably be about as hard to repose as the Imperial Knight - more effort than you'd wish, and probably easy to screw up.

Nah, if I do 30k it'll probably be Blood Angels. I really liked Fear to Tread for some reason.

I want to convert the Mantic mummy models to be more egyptian, and I figure there were more 1k sons conversion parts over fantasy conversions.

I don't know who that guy is beyond being the kind of crummy librarian dude in Book VI. Is he in the audio dramas or some poo poo?

I hope the Nemean Reaver eventually gets a cool model, that's one of the few special characters I'd actually want to use. He's tough as gently caress and can be a Knight Errant which is how I'd be running him.

He's one of Garro's dudes. Used to be an Ultramarine. Garro went to Calth during the whole betrayal thing there (nice of Malcador not to warn the Ultramarines) and found him. He used to be a Librarian but was just a squad member after Nikea. Garro tried to get him to leave his squad but Rubio didn't want to abandon his brothers. They teamed up and destroyed some Defilers or Defiler-like constructs together and escaped into some tunnels. There was an ambush of some sort in there and the only way for them all to survive was for Rubio to use his psychic powers. All his ultra-friends were mad about this and shun him, they'd rather die meaninglessly, so Rubio goes with Garro.

Are jump packs good in 30k? I've been thinking about combining the Calth box with the new Death Company box that's coming out for some Blood Angels ever since SRM sang his siren song at Nova.

I'd say 20 marines. There's going to be sisters of silence too.

I might just wait for this instead of Calth for my Blood Angels. I'm not a huge fan of Mark IV, and they don't look great for converting into jump dudes anyway.

Also check your local gaming store. Sometimes the stores themselves will buy boxes, cut them up, and sell the pieces. Few years back I got 2x sets of Skaven from the fantasy starter box from a store.

Small rules question that I can't seem to find a good clarification on; if a model is holding two master-crafted weapons of the same type, do you get to re-roll two failed hits? Specifically for the Raven's Talons.

You only fight with one weapon, the second just gives you a bonus attack. You'll only get one reroll.

Supposedly it was supposed to be Bjorn, but one of the lore guys at Forge World pointed out it would be massively inconsistant with everything that's been written about Bjorn so far, and rather than retcon they invented this Geigor guy.

Still call him Bjorn.

It makes a lot of sense, even his claw fingers have the same ornamentation as Bjorn's powerfist fingers.

Red: Sergeant
White: Veteran
