Horus Heresy General /hhg/

Your thread summary was better than mine. Regular Thread Guy gives you his blessing. Now how do I fluff out out my Forge World without being too snowflakey? And I am the guy who has the crazy Magos frozen in the center of the Forge World mind you.

Gay

If you don't like it then leave, no one is forcing you to post here or spend money. 30k has enough of the right kind of fans to keep things fairly legit and you won't convince anyone here to stop by shitposting. I'll even be a good sport and let you have the last word if you want because I won't be replying to any more comments you make. Enjoy the rest of your day :)

They're pretty good nowaday, really.

I posted this in the last thread but reavers have made them competitive for me with people I play.

Curious though, why mod a game you don't like, why not just play a new game?

like what? faggothordes? cuckmachine? shitfinity?

So that's it; there's nothing better out there?

nope. now fuck off.

...

Haha, sorry fella. Like I said in the summary I was clutching at straws for material and nothing much happened anyway. At least you're (in)famous now.

Thank you, last thread was difficult. About 30 more posts than usual but so little usable content. I didn't know if you were around or out fighting wendigos.

>And I am the guy who has the crazy Magos frozen in the center of the Forge World mind you.
Mind expanding on this? It's not something I remember.

Don't drag us down to that level, all those games have their merits.

no. they are all shit and so are the subhuman morons who play them.
go post reddit memes somewhere else

...

Isn't the whole point of the Mechanicum that each of the Forge worlds, and indeed each individual magos that they are all special unique, one of a kind individuals? How, and indeed why, would you want to make your dudes generic?

Take it from the guy that's building/fluffing violently independent slavic Death Guard miners, follow your dreams user, the worst thats going to happen is we make fun of you and make you start cutting again

Under powered is the new meme, it basically translates to 'not totally OP'. All the Istvaan III legions had it, DG complained first but it was only minor and was drowned out by people complaining about not having their legion rules. WEs complained next a bit until their new rules hit, now we only see occasional complaints about rampagers and cadre weapons. ECs are constantly complaining about things despite being pretty good now (then again that's EC for you so maybe they are just roll playing). Now it looks like SoH have picked up the complaint batton.

tl;dr: they had their time at the bottom so think they deserve their time at the top rather than everything remaining as balanced as possible.

SoH are probably top tier right now

Also someone should add the text of the chainaxes rule to that memo, just to throw more salt in the continuously gushing wound

what legion did the most/was the best at ethnic cleansing?

pert burned those tallarn sandniggers pretty good.

>I didn't know if you were around or out fighting wendigos.
Those are a seasonal thing save for that one little island called the Wendigo Isles.
>Mind expanding on this? It's not something I remember.
Right then. I have made some changes though.

>Take it from the guy that's building/fluffing violently independent slavic Death Guard miners,
Now I'm curious.

Ethnic cleansing of who? Literally every single legion wiped out whole planets. That is the definition of ethnic cleansing.

What's changed?

>Is Lawrence of Arabia and WW2 British Desert Rats
That was the second thing wrong with your post. Your first mistake was not reading the rules.

>+1 BS when in 12"
>Justaerians are now one of the best units.

go back to your safe space faggot
yeah but who was the best at it?

HELP ME DECIDE

strawpoll.me/10426608

I was expecting Skull hat edition, Perils of the warp sub edition, but it's not something to sperg about. Indeed we changed topic quite often last thread.

Say, didn't you fluff your Journey to the center of the Earth Brendan Fraser magos already? Adeptus Mars requests a revision of the already stablished fluff.

>Best at it
This phrase is the cancer of /HHG/. Please fuck off and die.

Do IF bikers get the +1 BS bonus since they use heavy bolters? I've been wanting to field bikes for a while now and was wondering.

All pert did was make Tallarn into a better fighting force he didn't even ethnic cleanse properly.

not an argument

>How bad is it?
honestly not too bad, I've certainly read worse posted here. The only thing I'm iffy with is the time travel part as it is rarely approached in warhammer. I can only remember one instance where warp travel actually sends someone back in time (that ork), most of the time it is a variable journey. All those went back in time or jumped forward 10k years stories seem silly to me because it hardly ever happens.

Also when you say freeze do you mean by stasis munitions or literally turning things into ice cubes?

BA would be fluffier due to the siege, Sang and the Lion were discovered right after each other so it isn't like the emperor would have spent an exceedingly longer time with either. That being said I prefer DA and am making a Ravenwing army atm.

None of those. Fluff-wise the Imperial Fists fought alongside the Emperor the most frequently, and they were with him until the end.
I mean, several were, but the Imperial Palace lasted so long mostly because of them.

BAs because they were at Terra and would make sense to fight with Emps and His Pillar Men.
See here What I didn't include is that his name gets past down to each new head of the Forge World, and the new Leto Duratus gets the first one's weapons. Just think Huron's claw but with freezing instead of burning.
There was one time a ship sent a distress signal, and when a ship found it they traveled towards it only to realize they were the ones who sent the signal. And yes I mean freeze rays.

Both are wrong.

Literally the only true answer is the Imperial Fists.

yeah

But The Lion and Sang are going to be really cool models. Dork will be meh. Also Fists are pretty boring. And painting yellow is shit.

>And painting yellow is shit.
Where does this come from?

People who have painted yellow, mostly

The DG were pretty good at it. I mean literally all they do is gas faggots 24/7.

World Eaters, fuckers killed entire planets.

I've never liked time travels, but the few of them I love are ontologic paradoxes and the like Like Interstellar , so I'd say it's alright.

Your Archmagos progressively becoming less of a man and drillind too deep (Dwarf Fortress, kek) are ON SPOT, since that's what several AdMech end up doing.

If not for them, then for the ones that will follow.

Having read my problem is that you're not really adding lore to a a forge world. You're just fluffing up a single guy. Personally, everything before "Titans that freeze things" is irrelevant. That's the benefit of the Age of Strife, you can black box the origins of forge worlds, and in general, just a few hints, like the fact that the original Lord Magos is frozen somewhere on the world, adds a lot more character than an exact reason. In fact, not knowing the reason in this case makes it more interesting for me.

>Started 30k army a year ago
>Slowly got most of the shop into 30k
>Its a GW
>The manager is now considering banning FW from the shop because it is actually cutting into his sales

Why the fuck wont they just sell FW in stores, jesus christ

The new Tautorus glaive guy is supposed to commence selling FW in GW, isn't he?

Im sure he's there to test the waters.

The last line of your green text is why.
So ditch the GW and find the nearest LGS. Spend a few bucks when you visit, a big order every quarter. Done and done.

I'm not a smart man. I'll add my fluff for the first head toaster molestor as a legend and the believed reason why he's frozen. As for the Forge World itself it's a tomb/war world with feral Orks on it forcing the inhabitants to be on their toes constantly which is a plus as the strongest will be added to the Skitarii.

Hey, you have a GW.

At least you have an FLGS.

And I'm just sitting here with the IG Start Collecting! box I ordered a while ago. It's nice to paint them, and come up with theoretical army lists, at least. Hopefully BaC is still out by October, maybe ask for it as a birthday gift. It's too hot to prime right now, so all I can do is shave off the moldlines and glue the models.

...

because technically gw and fw are not 100% the same lwhy do you think gw is trying to muscle in on 30k?

Fuck Erebus.

The Night Lords were kinda racist towards Terrans.

But they they genocided their whole race so they win both ways?

>The Night Lords were kinda racist towards Terrans.
So were the DG from Barbus.

I'm going to buy some Vindicator Laser Destroyers soon but I need to find out what else to get for free shipping.

Contemptor or Scorpius?

Studio says we need to shoehorn in a new comic relief character that appeals to "demographics," intoducing, tumblr!

Did the DG from Barbus genocide their own homeworld?

So a transgendered wheelchaired woman who has no powers and fights for black lives only?

And the Raven Guard, or at least Corax.

No but they didn't quite like their Terran brothers.
It was Corvus.

Mortarion almost never recruited from outside Barbarus, because he wanted the hardy people from his death world, even though Catachan had been already discovered and fought on.

Vaguely related but whatever, Fel Zharost claimed that Terran Night Lords, at least those from the prison sinks of Albia, had eyes even more sensitive to the light than the ones from Nostramo. Does that mean they had better night vision?

Also had naturally sharpened teeth.

How would he have felt about Pyrr?
They were also naturally hairless, but Fel somehow grew a beard.

>Sharpened teeth

What legion is the best at melee?

How about best at shooting?

They very well could have. Nostramo wasn't pitch-black all the time. They still had the concept of day and night.

It's just that their days were as dark as Terran nights.

Beards are magic, user. Best not to question it.

Like they were born to be Night Lords

Plus city lights, there cant be many neon lights in the fucking prison sink.

Blood Angels in all categories.

>What legion is the best at melee?

WE>NL>BA=EC

>Beards are magic, user. Best not to question it.
I won't. Guy also killed a girl on accident with mind bullets, could shoot green fire, and was a "dream eater" if I'm not mistaken.

The same way he felt about Morturg, I guess

Phyrr I meant, is a death world. wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Phyrr
warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Phyrr_Cat

never seen a black night lord

Oh, I see.
He would take it for what it is: a harvest/training world (akin to the DG's version of Bodt?). They would harvest poison from the planet's biosphere and send the neophytes down there for Death world training.

>The Mechanicus remotely operate the facility from the moon base. They do not bother with guards or security systems since there is nowhere for the prisoners to escape. Should the convicts become violent or riotous, the Tech–priests are willing to switch off the air filters and let Phyrr’s nature take its course.
kekekekekek

>The Night Lords were kinda racist towards Terrans.

>"The integration of Terran and Nostraman warriors was among the swiftest on any Legion. The old Legion and the new fitted together like two sides of a coin..."

>Oh, I see.
>He would take it for what it is: a harvest/training world (akin to the DG's version of Bodt?). They would harvest poison from the planet's biosphere and send the neophytes down there for Death world training.
I think Ol'Morty would start sweating heavily if he knew about the planet.

>and then the first company split as soon as a Terran half-way looked at the first captain position.

Yeah but that was more to do with Sevatar being Sev more than the new commander being Terran.

Reminder that Night Lords recruited from all over the galaxy, not just Terra and Nostramo.

Reminder that if you are a Night Lord that isn't obsessed with flaying all day erry day and actually obey orders, the legion will see you as a flawed normie.

You'd think they'd have sufficient amount of recruits from just the systems around Nostramo.

Both Nostramo and Terra were hive worlds and I can't imagine the planets Nostramo traded to were small either.

Did recruits have a problem accepting geneseed or was the Night Lord's legion bigger than I thought?

Dude wasn't even cowardly. What a failure!

Woah, is there one of these for Colchisian and Chaos runes?

If there isn't one for the sons of Baal and Caliban I'm going to Bangle Dangle someone.

thirty seconds on google.

Caliban probably looks something like this

How often do you get the urge to create a custom character and end up spending hours and hours browsing through bits sellers to find just the parts you want?
