Hi, I'm new to Horus heresy stuff and I know the charcoridons from 40k (love those guys) have a chapter curse for example, and I was just curious if the death guard have anything similar? (Besides the nurgle mutations of course)
Wanna know because I wanna have a bunch of marines with completely scavenged and mashed together armor.
I wanted to theme my World Eaters around the 8th assault company led by Khárn. I was going for a post Shadow Crusade force (so I can wield Gorechild) using the Berserker Assault RoW.
On the wiki pages I can find two named members of his command squad - an apothecary and a standard bearer.
Where I’ve gotten stuck is how should I arm them? My immediate thought was caedere weapons - but they aren’t characters so that’s a no go.
I’ve tried searching for any mentions of the named characters loadouts and could only an older 40K picture of the apothecary (whose name escapes me) wielding a chainsword and power fist. I initially thought that one could have a fist and chainaxe with the somewhat converted narthecium representing the fist.
Should I go full chainaxes? Power swords? Lighting claws? Any help, ideas and tips would be appreciated.
Hello legionaries,
I thinking about building a second legion and i need your advices.
I already have a thematic WS army (SM RoW, lot of msu infantery shoot and move), and want to try something different.
I think about a veteran/termie PotL Ultramarine, veteran of calth. Overcosted squad but very effecient. This can be viable with legion trait/reaction?
Or solid IH gunline? SW agressive melee focus ?
I still open to another legion suggestions (exept white armor :D).
Hi All,
I am thinking about getting into 30k but noticed that there seems to be a severe degree of unit unavailability for legion specific units. I also cannot find them second hand on any stores. Are these still available? I don't want to start a new genre of Warhammer if the units I am seeking to build are out of print.
Is it even worth starting?
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
I'm thinking of starting a Dark mech army? What units do you think i should make sure to use? Need advice on how to convert them to look the part. Anyone else had a go at this?
Im currently starting with warhammer 40k and i have startet building my first primaris marines from the ultimate starterset. I want to lern the game with them and then build my own 30k lunawolf army.
What sets do i need to buy to complete the army?
I have seen there are different typs of astartes with mk3 to mk6 armour. And if i remember correctly they have been wearing mk 4 armour in the books. Please correct me if im wrong this needs bo lore acurate.
Your advise would help me greatly my battle brothers.
Very colourblind and I’ve been struggling with what paint to use for the trim and metallics. I’ve seen people use canoptek alloy or runelord brass but also Decayed metal and necro gold from scale75.
What would the best recipe for Sons of Horus trim be or closest to the Tybalt Marr above?
Hello! A friend and I are thinking of trying out Horus Heresy in a 1K game. I have a 40k Custodes army and I have at least 1 unit of every model (including Forge World) except for the Ares and Orion Ships. I am still learning the rules but it's slow going. Can I get any help or list suggestions for my first list? Thank you!
Either through proxying one or the other - or some more legit means?
Pulled out my old DKK army to rebase and use as militia. Hopefully get some use out of them. I have 6 lemans, thud guns, earth shakers and chimera to figure out what to use them as too.
See title.
So, I’ve got 2 main armies: SoH and WEs. Neither army has a Levi dread.
SoH has 2 contemptors: fist + melta and fist + plasma
WEs has 2 as well: fist + melta and fist + chain fist.
My first instinct is to make both levi dreads for WEs (fist + melta and fist + storm cannon) because in my SoH I exclusively run black reaving and I always take a HSS (usually with Lascannons because they’re a great unit for the required MoS) which means I usually don’t have enough slots for a Levi dread anyway. Whereas for WEs, dreadnoughts are just plain good because of the extra attack, the bonuses to charge in Zerker assault (and predators go in FA so there’s not much competition in the HS slot) and in Crimson Path you can only take 1 HS slot and Levi dreads are probably the best option. There’s also the added bonus of Angron giving a FNP to dreadnoughts.
So tell me:
Is my first instinct correct? (Build both for WEs, storm cannon + fist and melta + fist and phosphex for both)
If it is not, what would you do differently?
I know it’s janky but here’s a list I built using models I have physically built, I haven’t played a game yet or learned much of the details but here’s my first crack at a playable list just to get started. I have 10 or 20 more tacticals, 1 more land Raider, and a ranged leviathan on the sprue I plan on building but just haven’t gotten to it yet-I wanted to work with what I had physically built like if I was going out to a game today. Constructive criticism definitely welcomed as I don’t really know what I’m doing all that much 😅 disclaimer: weird stuff in the list like the kratos and the seige tyrants were there bc I thought they look cool and well they are cool but hope that explains why I have those and not as much of the basics first 😅
