>yfw you're a destroyer and everyone thinks you're edgy just because your is black and your tools of the trade Sub-Edition
Last time on Horus Heresy G debates on dreadnought patterns were had, trench guns are edgy to WWI era Germans, and Iron Hand legionaries with questionable taste in fashion were also seen. Old thread >>46423400

Can you get high on isopropyl alcohol while painting Alpha Legion? I need to know.
>>46441105
I now imagine a very cheery and friendly Destroyer who talks about the merits of phosphex quad launchers while the opposition is still roasting below.
>>46441182
No, it only happens when painting EC.
>tfw really no point to stealing Kakophoni with coils
>>46441105
Does anybody have the FW Space Wolves/ Thousand Sons pictures handy?
Would appreciate it.
>>46441105
> True players will make a Levy Horde using $5 Guardsmen models edition
But seriously, these guys look fucking awesome. Any decent 28mm Guard substitutes that get a nice insurgent look?
>>46441182
Sort of. You can get some dope chemical burns too if you play your cards right.
>>46441190
It wouldn't surprise me.
>It's not a living. It's a way of life.
>>46441243
>Any decent 28mm Guard substitutes that get a nice insurgent look?
Desert Raiders.
>>46441217
>>46441256
I'm just curious cuz the fucking stuff creates more vapor than anything else I've used, my hobby room turns foggy in extremely short time and I can't cycle the air out fast enough.
The inside of my nose also turned blue. Through a filter mask.
I only painted like 2 sample models to test the paints.
>>46441190
>I supply phosphex, and phosphex accessories
>>46441360
Doesn't sound like IPA to me. Then again, I've only used it in a cleanroom environment.
Who among the named SCs listed in the Red Book are Terran veterans?
>>46441365
Riding the Ironfire with that stuff would be utterly disgusting.
Similar to putting Orth into a Mastodon.
>>46441365
My sides.
>>46441401
Garro, and that War Hound fellow.
>>46441416
> Rapier battery fires 12 Phosphex shells
> None of them scatter
>>46441401
Autek Mor also.
I am sad their colour scheme is so boring, otherwise they would be cooler.
>>46441360
That's what happened to me, except I didn't use a mask. Hence chemical burns on my throat and eyes. Shit was cash.
>>46441105
From which book is this guy?
>>46440340
>>46441627
Book 6.
>>46441105
Wait, are all Destroyers supposed to be painted black?
>>46441685
Thanks.
>>46441064
>How do people even play the Militia?
Its one of the most potentially varied lists available, although yes most lists rely on troop spam to some extent.
>Pseudo marines
>Absolute attack spam
>Massed str 5 fire
>Cheap T 4 power armour troops everywhere
>Cheap Ogryn with strength and toughness on par with a low level primarch
>>46441709
Nah, just a lot of them are black because it's easier to hide all the scorch marks from all that edgy phosphex on your armour
How long has been passed since the Terran reunification started and Heresy began? IIRC one SoH veteran dude got half-deaf from getting old but other Terran fellows seems fine, so I wonder.
>>46441758
200 years with Ullanor happening around the 150 year mark.
>>46441758
Half Heard was called that because he spoke too softly and the other marines thought his hearing was bad I believe.
>>46441780
According to FW and BL Ullanor was only 4 years before the HH. Fucking Horus fucking everything up in 4 four fucking years
So I'm trying to make an IF/ IW buddy-buddy list, and I'm trying to figure out my Rites. If a RoW doesn't allow allied detachments, it's still allowed to take that RoW in the allied detachment instead of the primary one right?
For example:
Stone Gauntlet can take allies
Hammerfell Strike Force can't
The Ironfire can't
The Hammer of Olympia
So I could do an IF primary detachment with Stone Gauntlet RoW, then grab IW secondary detachment with The Ironfire, right?
>>46441929
You could but you could also do Shattered legion.
>>46441724
>>46441685
Pretty sure that's one of Iron Hand Fanatics's fan-made images that ended up being the inspiration for Autek Mor's image.
>>46441811
It was because he was an old Terran marine with a stick up his ass about the old ways so people only listened to him half the time.
>>46441984
Oh, that might be the reason why I did not find it in Book 6 despite me going through it thrice.
>>46441365
>That's a clean burning traitor, I tell ya what.
>>46442217
Heh.
>>46442217
Which legion are Hanks and pals?
>>46442297
Ultramarines.
Including Dale, who just thinks he's an Alpha Legionnaire.
>>46442184
Yeah, he's a guy on B&C who does Photoshop work of FW images and then writes his own lore and rules. Apparently someone at a FW event let slip his name, that they had been watching him anonymously and loved what they saw.
>>46441780
Monarchia was 150 years - lots of sources say it took 50 years of word bearer shitting up
The problems with this is that some primarchs got found near the end so timings are weird
In general a planet was conquered in 3 years from planning and prep to certification of compliance
However that may include small asteroids and planets that are part of larger empires so some compliance fleets have >100 planets
>>46442373
Noice, does he have a page?
>>46441929
IF with IW allies can only lead to trouble. Nuffle will punish you for the flavourfail.
>>46441951
Thanks for suggesting Shattered Legions. I only knew the broadest strokes (multiple LA rules in one detachment) but didn't realize the specifics of their rules.
"The Whole is Greater than the Sum" is pretty neat, they could use each others' vehicles and have IC join one another if they're treating each other as Sworn Bros.
The Rites thing means I can choose Hammerfall Strike Force and deep-strike in my Iron Warrior units too, but I think because of the wording I can't have my Imperial Fists ride the Ironfire along with their IW brothers. I might ask my mates if they wouldn't mind letting it work that way.
>>46442357
>my name is... Alpharius Shackleford
>>46442002
He was a Cthonian actually but was a Unification War vet.
>>46441105
Why did all the legions hate Terrans?
Why did they treat them like shit?
>>46442736
>Why did all the legions hate Terrans?
They didn't. Fulgrim, Guilliman, Sanguinius, Vulkan, and Dorn loved them. I'm not so sure on Khan and Leman, but besides Autek Ferrus probably loved them as much as Ferrus could.
>>46442736
IF liked Terrans
DA liked Terrans except for Astelan but he was a dick so no-one liked him
>>46442817
Forgot to add Horus who did love all of his children but he did make Qurze feel like he needed to prove his wasn't a relic to be put up. Magnus probably did love all of them too.
>>46442817
With fulgrim i understand, what did the others like about theirs?
Hell ,Fulgrim even kept their heraldry.
>>46442881
What are you traying to say?
HE wasn't a relic to be enshrined or sth?
>>46442882
Vulkan being Vulkan loved all of them and a Terran Sallie was in high command.
>>46442910
He wasn't a relic to be enshrined. I'm slipping too much today.
>>46442834
>Ignore a direct order
>Get the legion stuck in a bush war with Orks for years
Fuck Astelan. I literally laughed when he spent Fallen Angels jobbing like a bitch.
>>46441105
Midnight's up, how many of you entered for a free titan?
>>46442910
Iacton Qurze was not held in the highest esteem.
Then Isstvan happened and became a super badass.
>>46443022
Not me because:
A) I don't have 100 to spend all at once and,
B) I would like to have won GWs competition for the free army, but I honestly don't give a fuck about a Titan. I suppose I could have sold it straight away.
>>46442960
The only thing he has going for him is that he's probably the oldest space marine being from the first 5000 marines in the 1st legion, which is pretty cool I guess.
>post yfw Astelan got fucked over by a Caliban Chapter Master and got sent to Caliban for being such a bitch
>>46443076
>tfw you forget yf because you're a bitch like Astelan
>>46442417
IW Loyalists and IF fought side-by-side at Sotha.
>>46442655
How?
Does Book 1 Loyalists considered as a Shattered Legion or did they fight pretty much independently without mixing up
I could do with some opinions for my Imperialis Militiaa /hhg/. My Imperial Army forces are a Terran Regiment of Japanese Soldiers (Because we need more non-white people in 30k), but while I have the fluff for them down pat and most of the model materials gathered, I have no idea how to translate that into crunch, what weapons to arm them with or how to organize them, either as a shooty army, a melee horde or what. Anyone have any ideas
>>46443575
to be honest, i'd go with the traditional Japanese set up, and BANZAI everythin
>>46443377
Either Horus was an expert at playing hide and seek, or Big E got some hardy boys from Cthonia before he made the Primarchs and figured that Horus's geneseed would fit.
>>46443575
>we need more non-white people in 30k
but the emperor killed them all
>>46441873
Yeah that's my biggest complaint with the timeline of both the GC and the HH; it's too stuffed.
Let Horus be warmaster for several decades, let the galactic civil war drag on
IIRC Loken declared themselves a Luna Wolves once again in Galaxy in Flames. Garro Legion of One cover has Loken wearing LW white armor as well.
But Loken model painting & HH book 1 SoH loyalist illustration depict them wearing SoH green armor.
Which color scheme is correct?
>>46442655
>>46443377
>>46443616
Horus states that he had roots "on both Cthonia and Terra".
As we know that Cthonia was so close to Terra that you could reach it via sublight travel presumably his parents left Cthonia to get to Terra and that's where he was recruited
>>46443575
Anon, thousands of years into the future from now probably won't have races as we know then to be.
>crunch
If they fail their morale tests kamikaze time?
>>46441873
What a Primarch.
>>46443656
Yeah, you'd think they'd of dragged out the HH to last like 2 centuries as well just so they can keep making stories about it. But I agree, have Horus be Warmaster for like 50 years before he gets all chaos-y.
>>46443710
That's my problem- they pump out stories but the timeline stays the same so you have people teleporting across half the galaxy
>>46443683
I could live with that.
>>46443710
Imagine if 40k lore didn't have logistic issues.
>>46443734
Can't people litterally teleport across the galaxy in 30/40k?
>>46444073
Yes but teleporting can be tricky. You can in up inside boulders, becoming a screaming face on the floor, stuck inside of the walls, never come back, and possibly worse.
>>46442817
Rumor has it that the 19th Legion was more Kurzey than Coraxey. They were in the same vein as Corax and used similar tactics, but Corax had been a rebel and the 19th were ruthless rebel smashers.
>>46444266
That was sort of the case. They spent too much time with Horus, had lodges, and fought that wasn't being a sneaky beakie. All of these things plus being too cruel for Corvus was like an Anon seeing a 40k general with bait beyond bait.
>>46444358
>All of these things plus being too cruel for Corvus was like an Anon seeing a 40k general with bait beyond bait.
And actually having the power to do something about it.
How many of the original Terrans did corax end up sending away? Could they recruit new marines after they'd left? I ask because I'm fluffing up a battalion that has a few Terrans rejoin it after Isstvan and want to know if they'd all be Terrans or what
>>46444415
He became a mod and brought down the banhammer.
>>46444421
Now that I think about it they did rush the gates at that one planet where the beakie armor was tested so probably no more than say 5000~. It did reduce the legion's numbers to 95,000.
Reading HH novels, but being a non-native English speaker sometimes it's hard to comprehend the meaning behind the lines.
What is the meaning of "Kill for the living, kill for the dead?" Who are the living, and who are the dead in this case?
>>46444717
they mean kill to protect the living, kill to avenge the dead
>>46443659
Considering the revived Luna Wolves came about in the middle of the purge at Isstvan III, it's doubtful any of the Loyalists had time to re-paint their armour white and alter their insignia.
Whatever survivors remained afterwards, now free from distractions like virus bombing, traitor kill teams, and angry primarchs, had the time and supplies to make meaningful changes to their appearance.
The same applies to the Death Guard, if I remember correctly. The 'revived panoply of the Dusk Raiders' only came about after Isstvan III, among that battle's survivors and DG Loyalists from other parts of the galaxy.
>>46441105
Does anyone know where and what are the rules for monstrous creatures riding in superheavies?
I seem to recall that possibly being apocalypse-only, but that wouldn't matter in this case I think
>>46444909
MCs can't ride in transports unless they have rules stating otherwise. Some transports have rules for transporting stuff like dreadnoughts, tanks and/or automata, but unless it's mentioned you can't do it.
>Crysos Morturg has Master of ambush trait from the WH 40k rulebook (three units gain infiltrate)
>Sevatar has the Master of Ambush "all friendly outflankers gain accute senses"
Why does FW have Sevatar?
>>46444909
They probably have a bulky or extremely bulky rule about how much space they take up.
>>46445107
Probably trying to avoid one character from making one legion have both their own special rules and the better part of another legions and being an auto take.
Fuck dude I don't know. But he seems pretty good regardless of a crappy Warlord Trait.
>>46445107
he would be broken 2bh
terror assault wouldnt even be a thing anymore
>>46445101
>>46445133
I'm thinking about the mother of all death stars, Pert (very bulky), his Iron Circle (must be 4+ to join Pert) and the Tormenter (nominal transport capacity 15)
Though I guess being embarked wouldn't be the best, what with it being a shadowsword with no firing points.
The minimum cost of this stupid huge death star would be 1775 points, and that's without Forgebreaker and the minimum number of Domitars
>>46445695
By the emperor how excessive.
What do you aim on killing?
>>46445733
Dorn
>>46445745
>>46445733
Dorn, naturally.
Though if he was flying in his Aetos Dios, I don't think that unit(s) could touch him, so points for irony
So, the Inquisition's "I" was supposed to mean an "Eye?"
>>46445798
Aye.
>>46445773
What's this, the Primarch of ANTS?
>>46442736
It's because Primarchs grew up on their own worlds and built their own bases of followers, and Terran members of their legion represent a 5th column.
>>46445695
99% sure you can't embark the Iron Circle guys in the transport. Things that can transport MCs have specific rules that allow them to do so, like the upgrade you can buy for the Arvus Lighter that lets you carry a single Castellax or up two two Vorax. Super Heavy Transports don't have anything generic that would apply to his special snowflake Shadowsword.
I do kind of understand why you'd want to do that, though. The Iron Circle is just way too fucking slow for how much it costs to make that unit. It's the main weakness of all automata (except for the Arlatax), but at least with Castellax you can mitigate it by fielding multiple units and getting up to the middle of the board eventually. Domitar-Ferrum cost so much that you're only going to have one of 'em and it's gonna be half your list.
>>46445823
Get him on board, I'll call it in.
>>46445859
There's no doubt that if they can't embark, FW will release something to let them get on board as well.
>>46445787
aetos dios + dorn + siggy + 10x TH/SS terminators + TH/SS chaplain + eternal warrior TH/SS praetor vs the ironcircle star, who wins?
>>46445919
You mean 10 Templar Bretherin, surely.
>>46442882
>>46442910
Cassian Vaughn, the Terran guy who commanded the Salamanders before they found Vulkan was a goddamn hero to the legion and was mortally wounded just as they were united. He's the guy that became Cassian Dracos after Vulkan personally built him the best damn boxnought chassis there ever was - so good it survived getting impaled by dozens of lascannons and getting glassed by a titan at Isstvan V, repaired itself, and eventually turned into Cyborg Box Jesus that could mind control any robots or cyborgs in the area (although the in-game version of the rule is orders of magnitude less powerful than it is in the narrative).
>>46445934
no because they suck balls compared to th/ss terminators
>>46445947
And it cyborg controlled Iron Warrior Bane as well.

>>46446002
>>46446022
the thunderhawk dont even care though bro

>>46445919
The Iron Circle star isn't even that good, honestly. Far too few attacks for what you're paying in points. He's better off with Tyrants.
>>46446031
thunderhawk does have a massive D breh
>>46446064
Related, do you prefer to use the 40k D or the 30k D?
>>46446061
2 each + D3 HoW on the charge, + any 6s get an extra auto hit. Not great, but not awful, and they are tough as shit
And no initiative penalty despite S10 AP2
>>46446042
>>46446064
This is a point, of all the Primarchstars, Dorn's the only one who's flying about AND giving the D. At a discount, no less
>>46445947
Is it the same box as the 40k Salamander named Dreadnought (is incased in)?
>>46446197
Yup. Its front AV is one worse for wear after 10k years of continuous use and multiple people inside it, but it's the same box.
>>46446169
>mfw dorn has the best thunder hawk, best deathstar, best generic terminators, best eternal warrior preator, and fucking siggy the best astartes ever

>I'm sure some guy is going to mention that bloke eating the geneseed.
The Warsmith? That was symbolic of his triumph and cause the Gods like such symbolism they made him a daemon prince.
What qualities of your Legion do you see in yourself?
>>46446869
>>46446957
that doesnt really seem that out there to me though
broseph was a daemon prince, they get to do whatever the fuck they want
>>46446957

And how I wished I didn't see this again.
>>46447052
kek that thing mustve been an absolute bitch to pin together
they are worth a shit ton now tho
>>46446817
Honestly I actually prefer most of the retcons and concepts in the HH series. I find the fleshing out of the characters and events of the most interesting period of 40k to be better not worse. And little stuff like "Pharos alerted the tyranids to our galaxy" really doesn't bother me, maybe I'm not autistic enough.
As for which retcons bother me the most, Pious being a perpetual instead of a normal guardsmen probably. And this from someone who likes the perpetual-cabal angle of things.
>>46447131
>kek that thing mustve been an absolute bitch to pin together
This is why they make the red loctite.

You do realize it's space capable and used for attacking other ships as well, right? Also, the AC-130 sacrifices its transport capability for those guns.
>>46447165

probably both they are rare af.

What if I do multiple Legions?
I'm usually friendly most of the time, but indirectly troll the shit out of everyone. I saved a man's life while under fire, but hate him for being weak and foolish enough to end up in the situation he was in. I'm on one hand charitable and want to help people, but can just as easily be callous and arrogant with a highly mercenary approach to things.
Duality of human nature type bullshit.
I paint Iron Warriors and Alpha Legion, maybe Salamanders and Alpha Legion would be more appropriate but I can't stomach their particular shade of green.
My favorite primarch is Lorgar though.
>>46445859
Yeah, I finally found both answers - in the original Apocalypse book there's a superheavy transport chart (though it puts MCs at 10 models so it wouldn't matter), but the 2013 edition restricts it to just infantry
I'm now imagining a scenario where the primarchs and their deathstar bodyguard units are all assembling: when most have arrived it's a kind of mexican stand-off - Deathshroud slowly twirling their scythes, Firedrakes tapping their shields with their hammers, etc.
Then Horus arrives, and he has two extra dudes. Everyone's looking at him, like "dude, we had an agreement", and he's just looking smug.
Someone's just about to speak, to question him on it, then they're drowned out by the rumbling of the Tormenter approaching and the sound of the Iron Circle marching out.
Pert's stony-faced, as usual, but it's clear he's smug as hell.
Horus's jaw drops. He's been outdone, and he's pissed off.
The entire group start to argue, about Pert, about Horus, about who's got the best bodyguards.
Then, just as things are getting heated, there's a deafening noise as a golden thunderhawk slowly descends on the group, which shuts everyone up (if only because no-one would hear them).
It lands, and the front ramp opens to reveal Dorn and his THSS Termies, wreathed in dry ice-type smoke.
From the crowd there is silence, save for one agonised cry
"DOOOORN!!"

And straight past Perturabo to stand next to Alpharius.
And everybody's like "wtf, you can't have two bodyguards."
And then Omegon steps out from behind Alpharius.

>>46447888
That would explain why so many stories start off with an emergency landing Thunderhawk.
Would Praevian+Castellax fit any legion just fine, both fluffwise and crunchwise?
And how many Castellax would be optimal?
>>46448763
Does Dorn pilot his own Thunderhawk? Whatever happened to it? Did he try to crash it into Pert during the Siege, or do the Fists keep it under tight lock up?
>>46448785
Just about all of them. Are there any that you're concerned about?
>>46448763
You've got to wonder why the mechanicum continues to produce a vehicle who's primary purpose seems to be being shot down dramatically.
>>46448785
How come only some Legions get specific benefits from Praevin-led robutts? Is it just the age of the rules where some Legions weren't out when the 'Inducted into the Line' rule was written?

Imperial Fists as Fuck/10
Not sure if 10 heavy support marines with lascannons is the most effective option, but given that you've devoted 3/4 of your army to the deathstar, I'm really not sure you care. How effective is the deathstar at clearing tarpits though?
>>46449282
Good point, fellow Alpharius.
>>46449384
>How effective is the deathstar at clearing tarpits though?
probably pretty good, the terminators + 2 generic characters are putting out 40x s9 attacks on the charge, and reroll to hit in the first round because of zealot. they have furious charge and crusader from dorn, siggy gives them rerolls on charge distance and sweeping advance. dorn gives the unit +d3 combat res
siggy is putting out 5 s7 i6 attacks on the charge with ID in challenges and rerolling to hit + zealot.
dorn is putting out 5 s7 attacks + rampage + reaping blow attacks, he can half them to go to s9 with ID.
also with the thunderhawk theyd get their pick of whatever combat they want, so theyd be hard to tarpit anyway. didnt even factor in the apothecary but if he had a power sword hed be going at i5 with 3 s5 attacks too. the unit would have 2 eternal warriors + dorn to soak up wounds
>>46441105

3x Apothecaries, attached to the Tac Squads
3x Quad Mortar Rapiers with Frag, Shatter Shells
1x Deredere Dreadnought w/ Missiles and Plasma
1x Laser Vindicator
My thoughts are that the Mortars and the Dread try to pin enemy troops down while the despoilers advance on them. The Dread shoots the air. Mortars, Dread, and Vindi all do anti-armour work.
>>46450012
So I tried it out but everyone is naked, no upgrades. After taking the units I only have 45 points to play with for upgrades. I can't even afford Armoured Ceramite, Flare Shields, and Dozer Blades for the Spartans.
>>46450348
yeah it would probably have to be 20 butchers 20 tac marines 3 spartans + angron

As if Crysos wasn't already an auto-take. And with Autilon Skorr, some AL squads can get up to three different sources of Infiltrate.
It's not the first time FW gives a WT with the same name but different effect from the main rulebook (or that screws up, for that matter).
Durak Rask has a Target Priority that only affects his own squad instead of the "anyone within 12" of the main rulebook.
Maybe it's because back when the first books were published it was still meant for 6E and characters had precision shots and stuff like that
About Spartan or Mastodon - those with huge capacity. Can multiple squads, like 2 tac or so, can embark on a single transport?
>>46450435
they cant in a spartan, they can in a lord of war
>>46450452
>>46450435
I think the rule is you can fit multiple squads into a Super-Heavy Vehicle?
>>46450553
yeah
My friends and I are thinking of all starting Ultramarines and together being a chapter for apocalypse games at our local store.
I can't decide if I want to do an infantry company or heavy assault (terminators/spartans)

>>46450788
Or perhaps he was wondering why you would shoot a traitor before throwing him out of the Thunderhawk?

It makes some sense in that the outflank trait and target priority that Sevatar and Rask get are the 6th ed versions, so maybe FW just forgot to update them
What doesn't make sense is that Crysos got his rules published first, so they should have known better then to box in a WT from the main rulebook (RaskSsevatar) instead of referring to it (Crysos), to future proof the books
>>46446989
>I like reminiscing about the "good old days"

So did any meta for Dark Angels form or are we waiting for the special units to come out ? Lots of tanks and infantry with swords ?
>>46453254
Well so far the LA rules are okay, but not great. A bonus with swords of all types, but if you want to win, you gotta crush your foes. Unlike most of the other legions it seems that the RoWs don't so much leverage the Legion's LA rules, but instead give you a whole different playing experience. I like it because it seems like they can be made into a lot of different but effective lists.
Tanks and Infantry with swords seems like a good way to go though, because Ironwing benefits bolt pistol, and LA benefits CC, so you can use your tanks to crack open the enemies transports so that your troops can shoot them up and then charge in to finish them off.That said I am pretty excited for what's to come, both with more Wings and some special units.
