This is really useful information, I was personally looking for the Loyalist info as it gives more then the pieces it does here. Helps you confirm paint schemes and all that so you can get a jump on things Also....I hate to say this again. But I loving hate the way they wrote these articles We get it..... You're trying to be hippish and use slang from memes and poo poo while talking about the upcoming game Stop it Horus Heresy has an amazing setting and doesn't need that sort of bullshit intro. Drives me crazy

But they want to be able to push to Horus Heresy Starter to new players in stores and if they can keep it in the low to mid 200's that's an easier pill to swallow then 300? I don't know the cost of current Starter sets to get people into the various games, and refuse to open a new tab and look, so maybe i'm completely off.

Honest question here, as I've been debating on the colour scheme for my upcoming Death Guard army, did they ctually perform any action beyond the attack on Terra once they gave themselves to Nurgle? I've been going through as much lore as I can find. I understand that pre-heresy those with Terra ancestory wore the armour with pride and seemed to keep it well kept. The future recruits from Mortarion home world were more ruthless and were used in the later Crusade as being able to go without refulling and rearming for longer periods of time and wore more of the battle damage as a point of pride. So....clean is more pre-heresy and/or the Terra born recruits while later generations more battle damage. So depending on how I want to go, a clean look is viable But....when they got trapped in the Warp and gave themselves to Nurgle and became the "Death Guard" of Nurgle, did they do any battles beyond rushing to the siege? Is it viable to have some Nurgle infested marines or were they strictly at the siege as infected monstrosities? Want to know for potentional conversions and what not

I still can't freaking decide which Legion to play as so I have actually held off on buying anything so I didn't mess up.......still can't decide but at least ordered the freaking Main box so I can start assembling my marines. I serioulsy do not know which legion to pick. Imperial Fist with a reverse colour scheme just screams will look amazing on the table and Bolters + Dreads for life Iron Hands will just grind you down. Not fancy but just grind you down with big blobs and Dreads Death Guard toxic flamers?? I can toss a heavy flamer squad in a Rhino and just drop templates for days after jumping out? More templates because of some Termies? Yes!! All 3 of those sound just delightful to me but I cannot pick that I will just do X over anyone else

Gotta be honest what I've read of "The Burried Dagger" makes me care more about the Death Guard. Gotta find proper bits to Death Guard up the beakies. Gotta either find some good :files: for heads or bite the bullet on paying lovely GW prices.

Okay.... serious question. How do you, or did you, pick which legion or army to play? I cannot decide for the life of me. I honestly can't. I have the starter and I specifically bought a nice 3d printer for this game. I adore the setting, love the game and was a rabid 40k player for years. I can't pick and it's driving me insane. I have tickets for the LVO 30k event and need to get my rear end in gear painting and all that. I always loved Imperial Fist and want to do the reverse colour scheme. The new paints available now vs last time I did a yellow army would make it so much easier!! Yellow shoulder pads and heads with black armor? That's hot!! Then I see the rules. Wtf..... how did that legion rule get through?? I don't want to be "that guy" playing them but I've always loved them as well Okay, Iron Warriors have my favorite black library novel so I'd be good with them. They look, potentially, strong. Evil with lots of shooting Deathguard have a cool paint scheme. Line em up, march up the field playstyle Word Bearers?? The true villains of the whole horus heresy and I get to do script and poo poo all over the models??? That's bad rear end sounding!! But am I playing for fun/ theme or moreso trying to win more matches then I potentionaly lose if all things otherwise are equal? And if so, am I better off taking a specific legion? I don't want to be that douche bag player but i also don't want to handicap myself either too much if I can avoid it

First off I'm not quoting nearly enough people here. So many people gave great advice and I really enjoyed learning from others how they picked. Thank you everyoneparabolic posted:I picked Word Bearers because I liked The First Heretic and gal vorbak rule. So I haven't read First Heretic but I've heard nothing but great things about them. It's really between this and Imperial Fist. I think that's the 2 I am firmly down to. Love the lore, the models and rules look good Mr Teatime posted:
These do look pretty good.

I am going to do a test model of how I want to do Word Bearers and a Imperial Fist beaky. See if I hate myself after painting either one or if one just clicks with me more. I feel that I would be happy with either one of these Legions Biggest reason I lean so heavily on IF? My first ever army was a Epic 40k(I believe 3rd edition, it was before Armageddon) and it was Imperial Fist It was such a poo poo paintjob + trying to learn to paint on 6mm mini's and all that.......I still loved them. I still think fondly of them and love brighter colour armies at time. No matter what game system I'm in....I love me some yellow armour because of that. gently caress yo stealth. I'm right here!!!

Or Speaking of which..... I have a box Chaos Space Marines coming in tomorrow so I can, finally, start assembling my army. I'll use all the bits to Chaos up different people here and there and just add some "flair" to the army. I would really like to try to find some good STL's of some Chaos'y or Rune inscripted shoulder pads. Does anyone have any suggestions or seen anything good floating around on Patreon or Cults3d? Thanks On the army building side, I'm still going back and forth on which Special Character to include besides a Herald w/ the Unswerving Devotion trait I'm going back and forth....am I better off w/ 2 20 Man Squads (1 Tactical + 1 Despoiler) or say.....3 10 man squads in Rhino's? The other "core" of the army, in my head at least, is a 5 man Recon Squad w/ Nemesis Bolter & a 10 man support squad w/ Warpfire Blasters w/ Augury scanner That "core" of 2 20 man blobs, Sergants w/ PF + Artificer armour, the recon + support squad is 956points Toss in the HQ's, a heavy support squad for my anti tank,decide if I want Ashen Circle + Gal Vorbak(or just one or the other) and yeah. Bam that's 2k easy. No idea if it's "good" but that fills up quick. Not sure if I want a more "mobile" Rhino based force or not

BirdieBedtime posted:In my experience, those formations are two very different playstyles. I tend to see mounted squads as a reactive force, since ten models is fine but might not be enough to be on the front line, while the Big Beautiful Blobs are more of a 'gently caress you, I'm doing this thing' kind of force. Both are psychologically distracting in different ways - the Rhinos keep their riders out of sight and out of mind at the cost of turning focus to your really expensive poo poo, while the Blobs are visually arresting and can start to short-circuit the enemy's target priority (especially if you're running Dark Brethren and there's a point of Favor or two coming down the pike). Thank you kindly for the response. I think i'm going to go the blob route for sure. I am, for the first time in what feels like a very long time, so pumped to start getting this army put together. I have the Chaos marine box coming tonight and my 3d printer will be setup tomorrow. I found a Patreon who had EXACTLY what I wanted, Rune etched Chaos armour stuff, to really make this army my own. And yeah. I can't recall the last time I felt just gently caress YEAH!!! To painting and modding models. I've always loved playing the games but after working for GW for a number of years I kinda hated painting after that so I only wanted small specialist games. But now? Between the models, the new paints that have come out, a great new rule set.....Yeah. I am stoked. I'll post pics in the next couple days as I get models assembled and what not.
