More Eagles Than The Emperor's Children Edition
Forge Lord Sergeant Batman Sub-Edition
In the last thread the date for BaC's squeal was asked, discussion on the faults of some of the BL authors, one Anon wanted to know why 30k lists are infantry light, I want ND to leave, an Anon made a Knight Errant, we discussed the difference on Alpha and Alpha+ psykers, we tried to roll up a planet using Dark Heresy's generators, an Anon talked about his Knight House and much more in the old bread >>47707615

Can't wait for these bad boys.
>>47729134
A little to early for him.
The rumours are of a Plastic Daemon Prince Magnus later this year for both 30k and 40k. What does everyone think of the idea of Plastic Daemon Primarchs from GW instead of FW resin ones?
>>47729576
ill always take plastic over resin if its an option
>>47720197
>I want to understand the relationship of Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus with the Mechanicum.
>I tend to think of the AdMech and the Mechanicum as synonims
They're sort of synonyms. When the Imperium was reformed after the Heresy, the Mechanicum was given a seat among the High Lords of Terra and renamed as one of the many Adepta. It didn't really change internally, only in its relationship to the rest of the Imperium.
We're not yet sure how the Skitarii fit into it; I suspect that in 30k they're the Mechanicum's military wing, controlled centrally, whereas the tech-thralls that FW has released are under local control. The Cybernetica was bigger back then, so many the Skitarii were less important or widespread. Secutarii seem to be similar but belong to the titan legions.
The Cult Mechanicus is simply their religion and the units that exist in 40k are probably around in 30k, but are again less important in military matters because there are so many high-quality automata to rely on.
>>47729576
Absolutely bananas.
>>47729633
That's one of my favorite 40k pinups.
>that itty bitty lock on that big titty tech priestess
It still gets me.
>>47729633
That pic and one other inspired me to make a Tech-Priestess in an ongoing Rogue Trader game with mynow husbandand friends.
Anyways, that's a pretty nice post detailing the AdMech and Skitarii in 30k. Has FW said if they'll be supporting any of the Xenos armies like Orks or Tyranids? Can't remember if they have said anything or not. He loves his Orks and would love to play them against my Word Bearers.
>>47729883
>That pic and one other inspired me to make a Tech-Priestess in an ongoing Rogue Trader game with my now husband and friends
You the same chick from the 40krpg thread?
>>47729633
The mechanicum has the most retarded military organization ever.
>Ordo Reductor
>Skitarii
>Cybernetica
>Myrmidons
>All of them largely independent of each other
It would be like if the US military had the US army, another branch that was like the army but meant for siege warfare, another branch that was really advanced technology and then a bunch of jackass mercenaries wandering around fighting wherever they felt like it. Ad to this shit like tech assassins and it gets even more convoluted. I am fairly certain the admech just doesn't give a fuck.
>You have robots and want to join the Great Crusade? Go ahead and lead your robot hordes into battle.
>You are good at siege warfare and have tons of thallax? Go ahead and help the Iron Warriors with sieges.
>You grafted giant weapons onto your body and want to blow shit up? What the fuck do I care? Have fun.
>>47729909
Pretty sure I am.I've been having morning sickness for the past week now. Going to see the doctor in an hour, hopefully it's what I think it is.
>>47730007
Congraduations. As for your question yeah FW does have some Xeno stuff, but they've got Malal's chance of coming back in this edition.
>>47729919
Well, we do have a branch specifically for amphibious assaults...
But yeah, the Mechanicum is retarded in every way. They have a monopoly on technology but don't believe in science. They're superstitious and ritual-bound even during the time when the rest of the Imperium wasn't. They regularly hurt vassal knight worlds with their policies as if it were a zero-sum game. They're nuts.
>>47730007
Good luck! If it happens, then just two years or so before you can dress him or her up as a 28mm Imperator.
>>47730101
Thanks! Eh, it was worth a shot to ask. Malal coming back would be awesome though, I'd totally play a Malal army if I could.
>>47730157
Thanks!
>if it happens, then just two years or so before you can dress him or her up as a 28mm Imperator.
The thought of that sounds hilarious, will try and remember that!
>>47730134
Ah yes I also forgot about knights and titans. So they have like five branches plus unpaid mercenaries.
>Well, we do have a branch specifically for amphibious assaults...
The irony is that the last major opposed amphibious landing the US executed was at Inchon and the US army carried out the landing.
But seriously, why is like 99% of every important mortal in ADB's books a woman? Did he use up his quota of XY chromosomes for the Astartes?
>>47730007
Congratulations anon, is the little one going to learn the ways of the fa/tg/uy?
>>47730219
>Thanks! Eh, it was worth a shot to ask. Malal coming back would be awesome though, I'd totally play a Malal army if I could.
He lives on as Malice. There is one BL story with the Sons of Malice, and in Retribution Neorth could be equipped with a staff with a daemon of Malice jammed inside of it.
>>47729883
What's your preferred female equivalent of Hard for Heresy? Wet for the Warmaster?
>latest Eye of Horus podcast has one for every legion
>>47730255
Hopefully! He or she'll have so many aunties and uncles too! It'll be great.
>>47730281
Oh, that sounds interesting, actually. Know what it's called?
>>47730327
>Wet for the Warmaster
I'm laughing so hard right now.Wonder how my husband'll react if I said that to him out of nowhere?
>>47727452
It's clearly because of their parkour Cataphractii Terminators.
>>47730246
Maybe he;s making up for 99% of every important mortal in every single other 40k Author's books being male.
>>47730371
>Oh, that sounds interesting, actually. Know what it's called?
It's called Labyrinth. http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/the-labyrinth-ebook.html My picture is a Malal and Hashut worshiping warband that was being made in an older thread.
>>47730643
Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out!
>>47730670
Glad to be of help.
>>47730595
I think they've been getting better with it in the HH books, at least.
Base coats done! only took me an entire night and some of this morning to make sure i got 100% coverage. Drop podding batman bros assemble!
>>47730876
I like it!
>>47730876
Got a couple of these bad boys incoming. Any tips for assembly?
>>47731074
Lots of alchohol and a soft-ball sized wad of greenstuff for each one
>>47730007
Congrats, Anon!Now roll for his/her Legion
First for gf dumped meI don't know what to do. Sad but dealing okay, I am more lost. I already told my many Normie friends [/spoilers]
To keep it on topic people over meme about alpha legion Shitters. Ultramarine's are best legion
>>47731087
I should have figured. They look nice, excuse my autism for asking for tips and not complimenting. Are they getting lightning bolts on the highlighted areas?
Rolled 18 (1d18)
>>47731103
Thanks, anon! I'll be leaving for the doctor's now, so I'll have about 10 minutes more on here in the car, and maybe about 10-20 more in the waiting room.
Why not? Sure, I'll roll.
>>47731128
Don't get discouraged. People break up and grow apart and move on. Think on your experience with this grill and accept what went wrong but also keep with you what you did right.
In the meantime enjoy being single and use your newfound free time to indulge in the Age of Darkness or school or work or whatever until you feel confident enough to get your feet wet with the wimmenz again.

I hope you're ready for a total bro pyromaniac in the family, Anon.
>>47731074
dry fit everything, the Kharybis is pretty easy to assemble all things considered, apart from the larger leg claws, they need to sit inside the gap between the sides and its unfun getting them to sit right and wait for the glue to dry.
The Dreadclaw is a piece of shit to assemble and I hated every moment of it...........I need 2 buy more.............
>>47731148
>18
Congratulations on your new black baby. Your husband must be so proud.
>>47731192sorry to be off topic, I'm handling it pretty well. But it's a real sudden shock to the chest. Thank you for being kind, anon [/spoilers]
> gf
Normies REEEEE etc. etc.
>>47731209
Convert them, bruh. You'll look like a poorfag but it's less trouble to assemble.
>>47731195
>>47731201
Ah, but I rolled a 1d18, so in fact my child was Alpharius all along!Now I'm wondering if I' have twins.
>>47731130
whole model has to get edge highlighted, lightning bolts, and decals. Like I said, purely base coat so far, shits going to take me forever to do
>>47731195
Those are some nice salamanders skins!
>>47731218
There are ways to stop this.
>>47731232
If you do then that means you can have TWO Imperator Titans.
>>47731232
Wait, does that mean that >>47731195 and >>47731201 were Alpha Legion infiltrators the whole time?
>>47729633
> When the Imperium was reformed after the Heresy, the Mechanicum was given a seat among the High Lords of Terra and renamed as one of the many Adepta
Kelbor Hal already had claimed his seat in the Emperor's War council, so even after the heresy that aspect remains pretty much unchanged.
>The Cult Mechanicus is simply their religion
I was asking more about the 40k faction itself, given how they also have Dominii and Kastelans (developed from the same source of the Castellax), but mainly to know wheter or not there were Holy Requisitioners back in 30k.
>>47729919
>>47730134
>>47730233
The Mechanicum's military can be seen as organized in three main branches, all of them interwoven among themselves to some degree due to oaths of loyalty and what have you:
>Regular armies belonging to a Magos or Forgeworld
Skitarii, Taghmata.
>Servants of a Machine God's avatar
Collegia Titanica and Scutarii, Centuria Ordinatus. Knights could fit here...kind of.
>Technosavants and specialists with a great degree of independence
Legio Cybernetica, Ordo Reductor, Auxilia Myrmidon.
By the way, turns out Xana's icon isn't a spess boar, but something more terrifying.
A BEARVERSOR SKULL.Scoria did claim the patent for the Bearversor creation in threads past after all.
>>47731218
Y'know, I can't think of anything witty to say to this.
>>47731268
That pic is hilarious! Though, I'd think I was in some sort of strange dream if my husband did that.Usually I invite my bi-friend to threesomes. Man, it's going to be REALLY weird if my kid finds out that one of their aunties regularly had sex with their mom and dad. I probably shouldn't have typed this.
>TWO Imperator Titans
Or maybe even Alpharius and Omegon!
>>47731274
Apparently so!
>>47731256
100% organic too.
>>47731326
Mother of the Man Emperor no. It all makes sense now.
>Scoria did claim the patent for the Bearversor creation in threads past after all.
Now I remember.
>>47731357
Anon, what you do with your friends is between them and the Omnissiah. Don't tell your kids.
>Or maybe even Alpharius and Omegon!
Why not both?
>>47731357

You mean, Alpharius and Omegon infiltrating as Imperator Class titans? Preposterous!
>>47731464
>Have fun explaining that one.
I sincerely hope I never will have to.
Well, the doctor just called me up, wish me luck!
>>47731563
Besides Unification, I've seen Shas O' some times, then there's the infamous Curzefag and there's also RgBro, who frequently infiltrates the thread as a regular anon.
He's like the Invisible Man: if you don't see him then you know he's here.
And also Knight Anon and Thread Guy, who may be the purest of us all because they don't namefag, so there's them too.
>>47731540
Sorry, I've binge watched the first three seasons of Game of Thrones, haven't really slept much over the past two days

Here's what you should replace Alpharius with.

They'll find out eventually one day. You better come up with a good enough excuse. Good luck at the doctor's.

I don't know how that made you post that.
>captcha included tree man foot

>>47729631
I would only do so if the sculpts were the same. GW has shown time and time again that plastic sculpts are always inferior to the resin equivalents in some way. Betrayal at Calth leg poses and Contemptor are garbage. The Cataphractii are quite good though lack some tiny details much like the plastic Trygon, but it's passable for plastic.
Of all the legions which is the most punk rock? In like a "fuck the system" sort of way.
Sons of Horus?
White Scars?
Night Lords?
Raven Guard?
Pic related?
Some other guys?
>>47731483

Pre-Heresy EC were incredibly anal about hierarchies. I'm not sure if any of the others fit well with punk rock.

I'm not surprised everyone forgets me, but that's the nature of things. I'm conveniently remembered the moment a new FW Book comes out and all the scangulls start to screech my name.
Lest I get called out for shilling myself, Visions Volume 2 should hopefully be done by the end of this week. It would have been done sooner had not illness and work got in the way. Sometimes when I see the state of things in these threads I wish I had more to scan for everyone, just so I could give brief periods of actual discussion and not just endless 'Rate my list, pick my legion, primarch waifu' shit.
>>47732250
I can't believe I didn't praise Scan Anon. I shall go enlist in the Immortal Corps now.

>>47732330
>So time frame is definitely relevant to any answer.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

I'd pin the Space Wolves as cops before I pin the Night Lords as cops.

Now I'm just embarrassed. I've got nothing to deliver yet.
I'd like to think the work I've done has played a large part in the creation of a 30k community here. If we didn't have all my scans of every single FW book, we probably wouldn't have this crazy little community now. So I'm to blame for the dubs, chicken dinners, Iron Circle Parties and rampant shitposting in the great voids between book releases.
Interestingly, this is where it all began back in the day. Before we had a 30k community, when it was random threads every so often. Take a look and see how far things have come.

But!
Lorgar doesn't look as charismatic as he should, Angron doesn't look like a blood crazed maniac, and Vulkan doesn't look like Vulkan.
>>47733892
Vulkan is not a sub-saharan African, if that is what you meant by that, you're wrong - they are all genetic ancient Anatolian greeks, Vulkan has a fucked up melanchrome, he's the fire-themed character, like Dark Iron Dwarves.
>>47733892
Fiennes would be perfect for Lorgar as the sympathetic idealistic priestly antagonist, Tom Hardy's performance in Bronson was great and Angron has the epithet 'Red Angel', to do with his extremely pretty face that has been terminally fucked by all his angry warring and gladiatorial combat.
>>47733911
I know that.

I want a Horus Heresy Anime. After the shit that was the Warcraft Movie, I never want to see 40k or the HH made into a live action movie ever.

>>47734203
I tend to believe that if you put someone who is passionate about the project behind the wheel and trust in their vision you'll end up with something amazing, like Fury Road, the best thing since Fellatio
A movie could work if you focus it on a small group of well developed characters, have the primarchs show up occasionally as these aloof arrogant angels of death, play on the themes of betrayal, survival in dark times, spend lots of time establishing just how cruel and weird and unique and insane the 30/40k universe is, and have characters that struggle with the fact that they can't always be good people or do good things if they want to survive and by extension help the imperium survive
As far as an anime goes get the guy who made the Wolf Brigade as director and itll probably be great
>>47734606
Plasma or Melta are you only real choices unless your facing hordes. Combi Plasma can threaten vehicles, wreck Mechanicum hard, wreck other terminators or 2+ troops and delete entire squads or marines, just like what is about to happen in this pic of my last game. Termi deep strike and delete a squad, yes you pay for the combi weapons but they give your unit a big extra reach threat wise.
Wait, what exact units can Alpha Legion take with Coils of the Hydra?
Gorgon Termis, Deathshroud?
Gal Vorbak, even?
>>47734878
Yeah, what often goes wrong with movies based on games is that they try to give all 20+ characters substantial screen time and their own plot, and that just doesn't work. And they think random references can substitute for plot or dialogue.
If you need all the primarchs to be in it, it has to be far longer than movie length, either a tv series or an anime.
>>47735142

>How exactly would you fluff Alpha Legion Gal Vorbak? Like, with the others it could make sense, but I can't see how they'd get the WB only Daemons?
infiltrated the word bearers, got turned into demons then went back to AL
>>47735368
Alright, I suppose that makes sense.
>>47735323
>How exactly would you fluff Alpha Legion Gal Vorbak?
Polymorphine, combat drugs, and massive amounts of synthetic muscle grafts. I actually fluffed out my Coils of the Hydra traitors as a special force within Alpha Legion.
>Task Force Lambda
>Tasked with infiltrating the highest echelons of leadership throughout the Imperium including the elite guards of the primarchs and potentially the custodes
>Unknown how large the task force is or how they acquire the equipment and knowledge to infiltrate such important positions
>A group of them impersonating Sanguinary Guards attempted to assassinate Sanguinius during the siege of Terra and Sanguinius predictably tore them apart
>>47735368
>>47735378
I see it as the Gal Vorbak being sleeper agents that got caught in an Alpha Legion back ally.
>>47735704
>A group of them impersonating Sanguinary Guards attempted to assassinate Sanguinius during the siege of Terra and Sanguinius predictably tore them apart
Cool. Part of the backstory for my AL is that the former leader of the Grand Company was tasked with infiltrating the Imperial Palace and assassinating higher ups. They happened upon Dorn eating his lunch and Dorn predictably tore them apart. My Praetor and his backers managed to be justifiably absent when it came time to chose people for the mission.
Hydra Dominatus, brother.
>>47735704
>>Task Force Lambda
Is their leader codenamed Freeman?
More Friday night heresy, 3k aside, Sons of Horus vs a combined Mechanicum/Night Lords force. The Night Lords terror squads pretty much acted as bubble wrap for Castalax and Mech tanks and the Night Lords fliers kept the Stormeagle from doing anything and eventually cornering it and putting it down.
2 Castalax survived 2 rounds of CC with Horus and his Justarian buddies with some clutch saves.

Some beautiful minis. Got anymore pics?
>>47736155
I just can't get used to how big the primarchs are. My mind just sees them as miniatures in a different scale, it doesn't work.
>>47736396
IKR? And Magnus is fluffed to be even taller.
>>47736130
I didn't go too snowflakey. They're a force sent to explore an area near the Halo and Ghoul Stars lead by Harrowmaster Yuri Kalugin and his equerry Kaumaha Keiki. The force was aided by Imperial Army elements, but was stuck between a rock and a hard place due to a troope of Murder Clowns that had it out for Yuri, and multiple other horrific Xeno races that inhabited the area. This was a process that would drag on till the mid-Heresy where Yuri called his old man up for backup. Unfortunately for Yuri and friends they would be used in an experiment involving traitor IA/SA and a metric ton of sorcery.
The "help" gave off bad vibes, and showed their true colors not too late after that. The metric ton of sorcery had brought out terrifying changes to the IA/SA. Mutation, untrained psykers, daemonic allies. All of this caught the Alpha Legionaries and their allies off guard, but interference only made the battle far more grueling. No Imperial records know what happened, but some quotes believed to be from a rememberancer that was with the ALs mentioned Yuri thought of a way to achieve victory at the cost of obilvion. My picture is basically Yuri's helmet. All it's missing is Alpha Legion colors.
>>47736433
I swear, being that tall they look like they're daemon princes - oh, wait a minute!
>>47736218
I'm curious on the Graven Stars.

>>47736670
I run about 7ish sometimes more with a lord, that's at least 14 plasma shots to someones face and without fail I usually lose 2 terminators to gets hot because I can't roll a 2+ to save my life!
>>47735997
They didn't so much try to as accidentally walk in on and make the best of it. When Dorn chokeslammed the last of them into the wall and demanded to know who they were, the marine almost said he was Alpharius. But instead he said he was Rogal Dorn.

Dreadclaws, uff
Just ordered two and two 5-man Tartaros units for my BAngels
>>47736461
Fixed that for you Alpharius
-Your dear brother, Alpharius
How well does 30k play at 1500 points? Me and my mates like to stick with more medium-sized games. We don't really like too many vehicles on the board and Primarchs are pretty boring to us. Rites of War are really cool though. Does 1500 give us enough to make list-building interesting without going over the top? We all want to use at least one or 2 faction-specific toys and a dread. Any help is appreciated; sorry for the noobiness.
>>47736785
Thanks, Alpharius.
>>47736813
30k has a different scale. In 30k, 2k-2.5k is a medium game. 1500 works but you'll find it stale a lot, having a lot of trouble to fit the units you want especially the expensive cool ones like destroyers or phalanx warders for two examples. You also might find both of you falling back onto tried and true units like vets or terror squads (where the staleness comes from).
1500 is a good starting place. I mean if you and your opponent are both bored by vehicles and Primarchs then surely both your armies can grow to good sizes reflecting that, having large battles of jogging marines in the Age of Darkness (which actually sounds a lot funner than my own meta).
>>47736755
Claws are fun on the bun to play and bring alot of options deployment wise with the ability to move around. I am painting my Kharybis and Dreadclaw atm and can't wait to use them!
>>47736813
2k with no LOW or Primachs is the best fit for a normal game with a couple of toys and enough breathing room to experiment with the ROWs and interesting builds/units
>>47736813
1500 allows me just barely take my special rite of war and two legion specific units but my list is pretty much just that.
I'd say 2000 points is the sweet spot if your looking for a game that looks like 1500 points in 40k. The larger size on the squads and lack of free points make larger point games seem smaller. I don't even play with a primarch unless the game has reached 3000 points at the very least. At 3000 points you basically have your 2000 point list, the primarch, and his retinue.
>>47736852
Whats a good loadout for dreadclaw units in your experience?
I was gonna stuff 5 Tartaros termins in each one, with a single chainfist, two power axes and two power swords, with an assault cannon and assorted combis depending on the points. Their job is to come down and assault weak backline units and sweep them or by their power combine help take down hard targets with combis.
Whats good in your experience?
>>47736873
>>47736846
I think I see what you're saying. It's probably fairly difficult for a Legion's flavour to pop out at 1500 points in a noticeable way, right?
I just have one more question. How well does a FW non-30k list (like Eldar Corsairs) play against a 30k list?
>>47735897
Chose lambda because it is a letter of the Greek alphabet and Spartans painted it on their shields, so it seemed like a fitting character over task force beta or task for phi.
>>47736900
Depends on your ROW, you get alot of synergy with despoiler or other CC squads because the claw negates the downsides of footslogging or rhinos across the table and getting shot to shit.
So think of it like this, if you don't usually take a unit because it gets rekt by shooting or think its to slow then a dreadclaw solves all your problems as well as being able to burn the rear armor of vehicles with multiple str 6 hits as it zooms around!
>>47735704
I like your background, Alpharius.
>>47736940
Depends on the army. A legion army is inherently at a disadvantage at a lower points cost. Legion is meant for large battles just like the legions of yore themselves. Eldar Corsairs are an especially powerful list I've heard but in my experience playing against DKoK and R&H it can be fine. Then again though, at low point values and without many tanks or Primarchs you could be at your opponents mercy, that is to say you're sort of hoping they don't feel like steam rolling you.
>>47736986
That's a nice way to think about it, thanks. I was hoping BAngels would get assault rhinos to do despoilers but I think a Dreadclaw would work nicely too.
>>47737032
Thanks for the help :)
>>47736957
If there isn't at least one Half Life reference in there somewhere, you need to up your game.
me any my group play exclusivly at around 1850 points or so and thus far there has not really been any problem of fitting legion units in sure it'll only be one or maybe two units and you have to ditch all thoughts about units that cost beyond 2~300 points but it works for me.but my opponents are chaos and IG so I don't have to deal with wraithspam or necron tomfoolery
>>47735142
I'd like to know if I can get myself an Iron circle with coils? Reading the rule I cant see that it wouldn't be aloud but does any other anon know for sure?
>>47737346
Sure, but your ICs won't be able to join them because the Iron Circle specifies only ICs with the LA(IW) can be attached to them. Or Perturabo.
>>47737047
no worries drop pod buddy, good luck assembling them muahahahah.........but seriously dry fit and clean the edges like a mofo.
I think I'm calling it for today, got them base painted and the metals started, brass is up next.
>>47737564
Would the "however they have the legion astartes (alpha legion) special rule where this is relevant, not the legion astartes rule of there parent legion." not change that? I was under the impression that it replaced all instances in the units rules.
>>47737671
Oh, I forgot it changes the LA rules "where this is relevant" instead of merely on their entry. Then sure, the alohas can use them without problem.
>>47737705
Lovely stuff, thanks for the confirmation.
Night Lords people out there, when you run Terror Assault, what to you use to deal with vehicles?
>>47731483
Most of them are pensioners. Unless you're going full CGI, anybody playing a primarch needs to be under 40.
So how old was Horus when he met the Emperor? Is it mentioned somewhere?
>>47737853
fliers, a single sicarian venator (pretty much keeps super heavies stunned) and swarming their back lines with pods/infiltrators and deep strikers.
You need to deliver a punch unit/units backed up by target saturation, your running NL, use asymmetrical warfare to break up their lines and single out targets and wipe them out one by one while your other assets run interference.
>>47737705
wait doesn't this mean that you can use say, deathshrouds as HQ's in a Coils list?
>>47737853
>>47738576
oh and to expand on fliers, get yourself a motherflipping Lightning and load that sucker up with kraken missiles and watch spartans and pretty much any other vehicle or flier explode in one round of shooting. Pro tip, take a 100point Damocles command tank for any list with fliers or reserves. 100 measly points gets you an orbital bombardment and +1 reserve rolls!
>>47738579
No it says you use them as an elites choice
>>47737872
Primarchs are 8+ feet tall, one of them looks like death, another has nails in his brain, another is coal black with flaming eyes and another is a red cyclops
I don't imagine a situation where any of the primarchs would ever be played by just some guy in a big dumb rubber costume
>>47738811
yea I misremembered the wording on the "Favored of Horus" rule, it says "instead of a command squad for a preator of the sons of horus" when I rememebered it saying "command squad for a preator with the LA(SoH) rule."
>>47737853
> Deredeo
> Melta Bombs
> Praevian, Castellax, Darkfire Cannon
>>47739326
>>47737853
Oh and Deep Striking Chainfist Termies
>>47735973
Is the perspective off or are Storm Eagles really that huge?
What can you do to counter a primarch if you don't have one of your own? Just plasma guns and prayer?
>>47736396
If I were ever to run a primarch, I'd probably use a converted marine character model.
>>47739853
drown it in saves...
>>47739853
Kill his everything else with your 800~ points of extra firepower.
>>47739886
That's what I'm doing. Using terminator bits as a base.
>>47740014
I mean, many of the character models are a perfect fit.
Erebus even has lorgar's facial script.
>>47740098
The primarch Lorgar has a pretty bad face in my opinion.
>>47738513
He was recruiting age for the legions he was part of the initial intake from his planet. ~12
MFW I finally realized that the IVth legion was for me. I had been living a lie, trying to make heavy bolters and seige guns fit in a Terror Assault list. I don't know why. I don't even give a shit about volkite or flaying people. BS 5, Pinning HBs most likely won't be game changers but they are the army I've always wanted.
This is my first attempt at a HoO list. The Warsmith is tricky to fit anywhere, so I figured I'd give him a servo-arm and sit him with the big artillery. How do you usually run your Warsmiths?
Any feedback on my list would be appreciated.

>>47739046
It can be done, and has been done already.
Would this be Lorgar? It's said he shaved his head after Monarchia, meaning he didn't started out as a bald guy, did he?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJf4HWsIaFI
>>47741643
I like it, however here are my recommendations
- Ditch the Rhino on the Havocs, you want em shooting, not driving,
- Ditch the LR on the Tyrants and use the points savings to buy some extra termies and a Siege breaker to go with them
>>47741788
No, Lorgar was always shaven-headed to show off the scriptural tattoos all over his body.
After Monarchia, he started rubbing ash into his skin and self-flagellating.
>>47741643
So you think you can pin, huh? Have fun attempting it in the Ld9 millenium. Still, a few notes, heed them if you want to.
A unit inflicting a billion Pinning wounds still only forces one pinning test, as such, Pinning MSU is better than 10 Iron Havocs with pinning Heavy bolters: Give everyone a Rhino DT and equip it with a Heavy Bolter with Shrapnel Shells, and use it as a gunship. Even your Lascannon squad's Rhino, disembark them and use it separately.
Also, Iron Havocs are meant to kill vehicles, lest their BS5 Tank Hunters be wasted on infantry that will still get their armour saves, get regular HSSquads for that. Furthermore, if your sgt is forced to use his power sword then everything has gone awry. Iron Warriors spend people, not waste them.
Also, are you relying entirely on that Mortis dread to be your sole anti-air? Depending on your local meta you may need moar of it.
And how will you deal with melee units? And hordes?
>>47742542
Not him, but 3 medusae should thin any hordes. Does involve a lot of anon's eggs being in one basket, however.

Suddenly the Iron Warriors exit the warp over the peaceful paradise world and begin bombarding it with the life eater virus. The Tallarnian and the other patron scramble for the shelters even as the virus digs its claws deep within, them rotting the flesh from their bones as they struggle in vain to reach safety. With a brilliant flash the methane released by an entire planets rapid decomposition is lit by the merest spark, incinerating anything left of its biosphere. As the few tattered survivors emerge from their shelters to the poisonous arid wasteland that their once beautiful world has become contrails in the sky show that the battle hasn't even begun as the Iron Warriors begin a massed drop pod assault and the deployment of armored battalions.
In the months to come both Imperial and Traitor forces will dispatch reinforcements in unprecedented numbers leading to the largest tank battle in the history of vehicles. The dead will be uncounted and, in truth, uncountable for the Life Eater still rages unchecked across the surface of the ravaged world. In the end and for millenia afterwards Imperial Stratego Savants will be stumped while studying this campaign, echoing the same unanswered question that the Tallarnian did when the alarms first began to sound:
"Why?"
