Give me the BOX.

Sound off if you're buying multiple BOXES

Where is BOX give me BOX i need BOX i want BOX.

Thank you warmaster for the new thread, I'm genuinely excited for the influx of new players and content the new edition is going to bring - the barrier to entry before with forgeworld prices was something that kept me out of the game for ages until Betrayal at Calth.

Aren't Immortals a good choice for IH? It was either them or the termies that were near unkillable*.

*From what I remember of HH 1.0 rules

I'd say between Immortals and Gorgons the clue would be in the name, but it's FW so :iiam:

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

You will get plenty of grimdarkness in the rule book relax, this is how WD and WHC has been forever.

Do we have any idea on if little boxes are going to be released alongside the new big box? I'd want to do a kill team of Mk 6s but I don't think I want a whole army of them.

Knowing GW's release schedules probably a little later after the initial box.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what a good color will be for that somewhat maroon Word Bearer red? All of my test models keep coming out just a bit too red and not maroon enough.

Had a look on my desk and Blood Red from Scale75 might be good, and Burnt Red or Hull Red from Vallejo but the vallejo colours might be leaning too far into brown though.

I'm excited to get back to my XXth Legion. They've lain fallow for a couple years as I was pretty dissatisfied with they way they played in 1.0. I either had a list that was horribly unfun to play against or vanilla models with an extra movement phase. The initial leaks brought me back in and I'm looking forward to finishing upscaling my Headhunters, now that they're useful. I even got enough done to head out to what was one of the last local events in 1.0 (and get my rear end beat).



These are way cool and I love the impaled marine objective markers 👏

With their commitment to older and discontinued models coming across in a free pdf (idk why they wouldn't just print them in the rulebook whatever) I'd be surprised if Imperial Army, Blackshields, and Shattered Legions wouldn't come back in their own Liber book later on.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:

Also just to clarify so I don't screw myself over - GW said this HH boxed set is going to be around / in production for the foreseeable future, right? I don't have it in my budget to pick one up now, so I just want to make sure it's not gonna be a thing like Indomitus where the good box is only available for a limited time and then they start paring down the contents into new "starter boxes" that aren't nearly as good of a deal.

I'm trying to find a direct source from GW, but Sprues and Brews got a copy and I have to assume this is info passed to them from GW rather than conjecture:

quote:

No, this is not a limited time release like Indomitus or Dominion – This is the core Horus Heresy box and you will be able to pick this up from your local store whenever you have the urge to take the plunge into Age of Darkness games, or when you want to start a brand new Legion.

What's the size minimum on these Legion Support Squads? Five models?

I'm recalling things like Close Combat, a historical WW2 game, where a squad might be a dozen men but a flame thrower was a one or two man "team". I'd really like to have, say, a pair of flamers, but I suppose the reality of hitting, wounding, etc, means that you really do need several to have an impact.

I'd be surprised if it changed in the new rules but support squads are minimum 5 maximum 10.

Is there somewhere I can go to see what all the universal special rules (line, fleshbane etc.) do? I am used to data sheets and have only a small brain.

There'll all be present in the main rulebook come the 18th, I'm not aware if there have been major changes to how USR's work so info on them from 7th may still be valid.

Apr 10, 2012

Not even 5 years, people were celebrating USR's going away in the 40K thread when 8th info was dropping and I couldn't understand it.

There's no logic that can convince me that 15 variations of Feel No Pain is better than... Feel No Pain.

The few games I played of 8th ended up being "my unit has X" - "what's X?" "it's Y from 7th".

Worst change ever.

The two lost legions are lost because they add more mystery and confusion to a setting built on mystery and confusion. Narratives are more interesting when things don't always get explained. That's it.

Was that in the Space Wolves/ Thousand Sons books? I could have sworn there was a mention in one of those about the Space Wolves being used to cleanse at least one the lost legions.

I distinctly remember Lorgar and Magnus talking about their "lost brothers" and what the Emperor had Russ do to them.

Is the Deimos-pattern Rhino the same size as the Sororitas rhinos (and their other vehicles that use the rhino chassis)? I'm just wondering if I can get away with using my Sororitas rhinos while I build out the rest if my army, then pick up the Deimos-pattern rhinos last.

You can use whatever Rhinos you want, imo. I'm going to keep using my old plastic ones just because I don't really see the need to spend 200 bucks updating them.

Yeah the Mars pattern is around in 30K and was even favoured by Iron Warriors, something about better environmental sealing.

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.

Unfortunate in this case, since there's a component missing from the Legion-specific Contemptors required to mount the plastic gun arms on them that (as far as I know) isn't included on the weapon sprues, just the actual Contemptor sprue.
