My local shop is going to start a 30k escalation league and i figure thats obviously the best time to get into it. I need help on deciding a legion.

Ive been reading the gonnhammer articles but they like to reference rules and not explain what they actually do and with no 30k wahapedia i cant really figure out the special flavours of the legions, and would appreciate some help.

Thanks bulbasaur and jcdent for responding. And thanks to everyone who wrote summaries, especially that one that made me feel like i was having a stroke.

Im down to iron hands and death guard. 90% in favour of death guard because the iron hands paintjob looks boring as gently caress

40k standard "black armor with edge highlights" can be boring, but the FW "oily greenish-black metal" is pretty interesting imo (though I have no idea how hard it is to accomplish in practice).

Oooh, thats really sharp and clinches it for iron hands imo. Death guard look pretty slick, but morty is the worst looking primarch imo. Worse than hair metal angron

I used the praetors from the box set to make some kitbashes and I ended up not being happy with them since they were my first.

I'm going back to the drawing board and trying again at some point, but I have one thing I need to figure out before I do.

Should an Iron Warriors warsmith wear a cape?

Everyone deserves a cape

Crossposting from the painting thread

My Spirit Otter posted:

So im doing up a 30k E.C. army that im totally going to fully paint before starting on anything else, and ive been using a lot of xerxes purple in 40k and i think it might be a bit too dark. My plan is to mix it with irridescent medium to give it a polished armour look.

Here's an armiger i did a while ago that has very similar colours, so im wondering if you guys would go lighter or not.

Looks great to me - my only concern would be your basing scheme. Just keep the base darker or it could detract from the figures.

EC were among the first to start customizing their armor, so there's no "wrong purple" like you'd find in historicals.

So more of a dark grey rocky type of base?

I presume you mean Imperial Fists rather than Iron Hands and that yellow looks solid. I personally prefer the slightly desaturated yellow colour that quite a few of the black books colour plates have but the mustard yellow is pretty classic for Fists.

i absolutely meant imperial fists, whoops. i also like the desaturated look, the ink i bought looked darked in the bottle, sadly.
