Decided to take two of my auxilia outside for a photoshoot

So I'm thinking of getting the two sons of horus praetors for my upcoming birthday but was thinking of painting them in luna wolves colours and I was wondering if anyone had done them in that scheme and could share some pics for inspiration

Is this list any good?

Would you guys be okay with an outrider squad, which has the smaller firstborn sized 75x42mm oval base, and a completly kitbashed heresy era armored rider?

I want a biker command squad for my space wolves 8th light company force, but i dont like the looks of either the spatha or the firstborn marine bikes.

Don’t bring many elite units and don’t bring any dreadnoughts.

Lore wise it’s unlikely that militia are ever going to be deployed to a critical position that would justify using such resources on them.

Gameplay wise it’s a fun chance to use your tactical squads to great effect and run a lore typical army.

I will do this one day.

I've been looking into the rules for allied detachments, and I've been having trouble understanding how the restrictions on them work. The FAQ states that there isn't a limit on optional detachments and the core rules describe an allied detachment as an "optional allied detachment" on page 281, so does that mean that there's no limit on allied detachments?

For what it's worth, I'm not trying to do anything exploitative with this; the list I'm considering using this is really uncompetitive.

I see lots of people comment on ideas of other people’s lists or squads and the word “expensive” pops up frequently.

What is the guideline for too expensive in a squad? Double? Triple? 10 termis is double easily with no upgrades, even 20 tactical is common. Does it matter on the type, troops, elites fast or heavy?

Basically the title, a while back I got one of the Forge World resin dreadnought bodies (the ones where you get a torso and legs) as a gift but never got round to buying weapons for it. So I was wandering if you can use the new plastic weapons or will I need to do from greenstuffing or 3d printing to get weapons?

So my dads birthday is coming up, and I want to get him something warhammer related. I recently got him into the horus heresy books, and throughout all of them, he loves one character. Tarik Torgaddon. He loves that marine. And was devastated when he gets >!killed by aximand!<. So I was wondering if there was a model of torgaddon that I could get for him, or at least kitbash together. He currently plays chaos marines (ironic, I know), but would like to use him for something in the army (even as a proxy). Any ideas for what to do?

The 4th member of my squad, definitely taking a while to get through them but I’m so happy with each one

I have just started Horus heresy and wanted to know if this is a good list, it is for my first few games to grasp the rules and learn my army.

Jumped back into Heresy about a year ago and decided to go with Death Guard and I just love the legion and the game. Here’s everything I’ve put together during the last year, still some stuff waiting in my pile of shame. Making nice progress with painting also! Count the seven!

Local dude is starting DG and we’re all looking at the rules to get familiar and help a homie on what to take. I, personally, think that their legion trait is probably the strongest in the game (or pretty high up there) so I was slightly familiar with their rules but didn’t do a deep dive.

Then I read Typhon’s rules and…holy shit I had no idea this guy was that good.

So, previously, I’ve heard various 30k content creators talk about the strongest non-primarch characters in the game and I had NEVER heard anyone mention Typhon (usually it was Sigismund, Corswain, Sevatar, Kharn, Lucius, Abaddon, Marduk and others). I have no idea why because Typhon’s data sheet is nuts

Anyway, I suggest to my friend ‘take him, as the warlord, and 2 units of 10 Grave Warden terminators. Both with 2 chainfists and 2 heavy alchem flamers, everything else is stock. Typhon joins one, and is the warlord. The other unit is joined by a Chaplain. They walk up the board and nuke everything in front of them until the enemy is forced to engage. Chem master eats the challenge, then Typhon will probably wipe half the opponent’s squad by himself OR the chaplain’s unit will just delete them (WS4 power fists hit 55% of the time with hatred vs WS5, 6 and 7).

Then the question becomes screens. Oh that’s easy: tons of tactical marines in front just firing bolters out the wazoo + some tactical support squads with plasma or HSS with autocannons, maybe a contemptor or two…depends on the rite of war and how many points you have. Don’t take a transport with the grave wardens: just walk them. Fuck it, nuke the ground and destroy everything.

Anyway, has anyone used Typhon? Is he as good as his datasheet suggests?
