White Scars Outriders and Jetbikes with MK2/3 Armour?

White Scars Outriders and Jetbikes with MK2/3 Armour?

Hi all , long story short:

Does someone of you knew, if its meanwhile possible to get the hands on MK2/MK3 Outriders, Jetbikes and Landspeeder pilots?

Cause it would be more fluffy for White Scars I think.

Greetings

Meltagun support squads... How big?

Greetings to everyone. I plan to use a tactical support squad with meltaguns on a rhino. I see that people usually talk about squads of ten... Do you think a smaller squad, for example of five or six, is feasible? Don't you think ten meltaguns is overkill? I know that many of you will already be typing "it depends on what you want to achieve with them", but anyway... There are things that work well in general terms, and things that don't. What do you think? Thanks in advance!

Where to get Mechanicum Models?

I’ve recently gotten into Heresy and plan to build a Mechanicum army at some point in the future. However, on the GW page, there’s a lot of missing models like secutrarii or the ordinatus aktaeus. Is there something I’m missing, are the models not available, or what else? Thanks in advance for any help you can add.

Do I need to make adjustments..?

I need a fresh pair of eyes... I did a digital kitbash and added all of the detailing in Blender, but I can't shake the feeling that something is off... the wierd anatomy and poses of terminators makes it hard for me to pinpoint if there is anything I should change, or if everything looks ok?

Painting advice for metallics?

Hey all! Going to be painting up Perturabo for my Iron Warriors soon but I was just wondering if anyone had any good tutorials or guides they could point me to for getting a rich metallic silver colour with lots of depth.

My approach to metallics is pretty just base, wash, highlight and that works well for an army project, but I want to do something special for the Lord of Iron and really add tons of natural depth to his armour.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Never ordered from tortuga before, would these claws be way too big for Heresy miniatures? I know their stuff is scaled up

Would you ever need more than 5 cataphractii terminators?

I have 10 right now but I am tempted to put five aside for a future legion. Would I ever really need more than 5 termis?

Blood Angels, 2k

Hey guys, I am building towards this list for 30k-

Sanguinius-485p
Primus Medicae-thunder hammer-warhawk JP-155p

10 Sanguinary Guard-banner, 10x inferno pistols, 2x paragon blades-545p
10 Dawnbreakers-all with equinox- meltabombs-350p
3x 10 Assault marines- meltabombs-155p per squad

Could work in day of revelation, or also some generic rite of war-A lot of jump marines !
Hopefully more than the opponent can shoot down, I am particulary enamoured with the dawnbreaker models and older sang guard.

Thematic HH Ironfire army.

Hi am fairly new to Iron warriors and wanted the army to be more thematic than optimized, but also fun.

So I was thinking an Ironfire rite with a heavy backline of barrage weapons with a heavy frontline that keeps getting the stubborn benefit for the continuous barrage falling around them.

Something like Rapier quad mortar squad, Basilisk and maybe some other heavy tank, then some Tyrants, with a Siege breaker, then another group of Termies with a Medicae and a frontline of maybe Breachers. What you all think ?

Ideas for a garrison list

I'm building a 30k iron warriors army around the concept of a isolated and under equipped garrison on a remote outpost

The list will be of 1500 points (for now), what units would you consider thematic for both iron warriors and this build?

Of course I want it to be playable (I'm building another ultramarines list to play them against based on an elite spearhead) but I also want it to thematic

For now I've built a contemptor (fist and kheres assault cannon) that is very rusty to give the idea of him being in stasis since the grear crusade and a despoiler squad

Who do you think is your favorite character in the HH and why?

I have always heard so many different answers and reasons. I always see so many different and varying explanations and honestly I don’t know of any lore or universe with such a wealth of opinions. Ill start.

Mine is Alpharius (and by proxy Omegon) not because hes an uber cool master manipulator and “it was always my plan for this to happen.” Or cause “I aM AlPhArius”

But because he genuinely is a supremely arrogant, scheming, self assured and cunning in a way I find appealing. He is flawed, he is damaged, but he is extremely effective at what he does. He is just not putting all his effort towards the right things. In his arrogance he has to complicate things and do things his way, its a genuinely interesting character flaw to me. He was raised by the biggest intrigue and secret ruthless despot (Malchador) to be the knife in the dark that protects humanity. And this causes him to think hes above his brothers, that his plans and the web he weaves can defeat anyone. Hes a dirtbag, hes someone you probably would not want to be friends with. Hes so self assured and intentionally obtuse that hes a frustrating individual but goddamn does he make it cool sometimes. His level of arrogance that even when he loses he still has to “win” somehow and his focus on operational security at the detriment of success is in stark contrast to all other legions and primarchs. And the fact that if you genuinely read the books and don’t do headcannon (I will not argue alpha legion lore on reddit so don’t even try me) he is genuinely loyal to the Emperor but as he shows, he ends up being so arrogant that he thinks HES the one who knows the best was to save his father’s dream. Which is very much in character for him.

I think that the memes and the community’s headcannon about him has made him unlikeable to most hardcore fans. But as someone who has stuck mostly to the books. Hes a mastermind, a schemer, an idealist, an egotistical psychopath, and he in fact does not always win (thanks Dorn) and I think its a perfect character arc from “I am playing both sides, i always win, its all going to plan, i can manipulate both sides and I will be the one who truly wins, walk the third path walk the third path!” to “WAIT DORN DON’T!” Where you see that you can’t manipulate and scheme yourself out of every situation. And when Alpharius loses his brother that way, it kinda snaps him out of the whole play both sides thing and he tells Horus to shove it and pulls the alpha legion out of the war. And finally once the HH is over he intentionally splinters the legion knowing if it stays a united force it will be hunted down and destroyed or forced to go into the Eye of Terror. He grows as a character, he learns, he changes and I think if you ignore the memes, fight the urge to speculate, he has a great character arc full of sick moments, triumph, and failure which not many characters can say.

I think he is a much better character than he is given credit for.

But thats enough from me, whats your favorite?

What's your favorite "This rule needs an FAQ"

So there are a lot of rules in HH 2.0 that should receive some FAQ love.

My personal favorite is the Death Sworn Companion rule: Are you allocating wounds done by precision shots? Or can any wound that will cause the targeted model to die be transferred to another model" The rule can go from Ok-Gamebreaking depending on how its "Interpreted"

The other is the Deathwing Hexagrammaton rule: When it says all close combat weapons modeled as swords, is that saying if a model has the close combat weapon profile and they are modeled with a sword, or is it a catch all for missed swords and its saying, "if they have a modeled sword they get it".

I am a DA player, so no surprise mine are DA related, but what are the confusing or unclear rules in your Army?

Where is this mace/maul from?

Found this cool kitbash. Does anyone know if the mace on the model is from an aps kit or something and if so which one? Thanks.

Any rumors about HH 3.0?

Does anyone know about some development plans for HH? There's no roadmap, delivery of plastic kits for Astartes was a joke last year, MK IV still waits for refresh, as much as breachers for the shields.

Can we hope for something this year?
