/HHG/ Praetorian of Dorn Edition

Horus heresy general /HHG/
Last thread FW's first HH release in a month was a disappointment, Praetorian of Dorn has been released, and other stuff that is not worth mentioning.

Word Bearers are for HERESY

I haven't read Praetorian of Dorn, but I did see a spoiler which I'm now going to share. This might be utterly wrong, but it could well be right as well. Don't even think of reading it unless you want everything ruined.

Dorn kills Alpharius. Omegon takes over Alpharius' identity.

What about the loyalists that were purged from the chapter

>implying alpharius hasn't just been chained up on the vengeful spirit the whole time, so Horus would have a Primarch to save him if boarded pre siege of terra

Attack Bikes or Sky-Slayers for fast-moving multimeltas? Basically, 2w or 2+ and jetbike? Either way i'm probably going to put a Primus Medicae with them

>Praetorian of Dorn Edition

So what are you working on this weekend /HHG/?

I'm currently painting three DG in glorious crusade armour. Picture not related.

I just finished my first veteran rhino, and am looking to do a landraider phobos.

but my heart truly YEARNS for doing some thallaxii. is that cheating on the AL modells waiting for completion?

If the Rumour is true, Dorn is one of only Three Primarchs to kill another Primarch. He stole Guilliman's kill.

An Apothecary may join only the Attack Bike Squad while Primus Medicae may join any of the units. Do whatever you feel like.

I cant believe this unless someone uploads the book.

I *may* start working on reposing and magnetising a pair of BaC Contemptors.
While at it, marine helmets are too small for contemptor heads, right?

>While at it, marine helmets are too small for contemptor heads, right?
Depends, MkIII helmets work just fine. I used a BaC terminator helmet on one of my contemptors, I've also seen a NL one with the skull champion helmet. What helmet did you have in mind?

>What helmet did you have in mind?
Nothing in particular. I only have mkIV (BaC) and mkVII from 40k tactical squad available, I just couldn't stand if the two heads were the same. Oh, I also have Khorne Berzerkers, but the bunny ears would go off. Still, they feel a bit too small even if it's just a sensor array and not an actual head on the dread.

>BaC terminator helmet on one of my contemptors
How did you manage that? They are even smaller.
Also pic would be appreciated if able.

One squad of tacticools.

making bastard mk.V armor and poverty phobos bolters for my night lords

>mkiii helmets on mkiv bodies
>[distant muffled REEEEEEEEE]

No no, they're reinforced MKIV helmets, clearly. Just like the reinforced MKIV torsos which look like MKIII ones.

>Expecting the actual events of the book to be accurate with alpha legion

lel. They're gonna pull the "he was a body double" shit soon enough

Even if it's from Omegon's perspective and he says "shieeeet alpharius died" it means nothing, because they've been hinting that the twins are working against each other and Alpharius could be faking his death from him.

So, the whole Roboute opening fire on Dorn's fleet due to his refusal to take the Codex Astartes was in fact Omegon vs Alpharius? Saw it coming.

Alpharius never existed, Omegon never existed. Alpha legion are the missing legions legionaries trying to cover the fact that they are a force that's suppose to be stricken from history.

I like this, but that then makes the XXth a new 'Missing Legion'...

It was the imperial navy but yes, it was alpharius attacking omegon. This was before omegon "cut" alpharius's "neck" with a "poisoned sword" and had him put in stasis on macrage.

And that's way before alpharius dissapeared stopping omegons first black crusade leaving behind a single fist. But not before omegon let an assassin, alpharius, kill him to vindicate his was of terror tactics.

Make the Alpha Legion geometry end. We already passed Mr. Rocha's class, but he's never going to let us out.

>Implying proof that the AL was ever found.

Dem black shields have +1 s/t

Would make sense some could pass as a small primarch

Omegon consumes a thousand Alphariuses daily to power the Alpharinomegon, allowing warp travel.

Alpharius created clones of omegon to try and turn him traitor while his legion shoves anal pears up his arse to exercise a demon out of him.

>Alphariuses
The politically correct term is Alphari. It's like you want the Alpha Legion to sue, and when they do they go big.

What about Alphareople?

How did you get such a large number of mkIII heads?

That is acceptable, you dirty racist.

Maybe traded with a guy who bought an upgrade kit.

Any particular reason they have iron armour heads
And are you my bitter brother or a headless freak

>93 octane with rubbing alcohol and styrofoam
My sides. Maybe /k/ invented /K/rieg's Carcass shells.

Kek maximus

>using phosphex rounds on your pests
>giving your enemy the glorious death he deserves

I am partial to the /k/omando molemen screencap, and the cum brownies story.
user, don't encourage Death Guard scouts.

The man babies won...
They wanted another another primarch to die for some excitement.
And they picked the legion that has an unlimited supply.

>Alpha Legion tactical maneuvers

>Praetorian of Dorn Edition
You should have seen this coming, now the geometry's never ending.

>This was before omegon "cut" alpharius's "neck" with a "poisoned sword" and had him put in stasis on macrage.
of all the half-baked fanon, this will always be the worst.

You can't really impersonate daemonic fulgrim.

Nanomachines and holograms

Trading, second-hand purchases, spares off other MKIII suits with different helmets.

Personal preference more than anything. MKIV heads don't quite suit the IVth legion. Don't dislike them either, just don't have the right feel to them for the grunts.

>You can't really impersonate daemonic fulgrim.
But you can try

Gib s/k/outs phos ammo

I'm kinda underwhelmed that they just settled for regular squad markings for Space Wolves after they showed off the early illustrations of them and went through the trouble of covering up their right shoulderpad with fur.

Space Wolves were best without the furryshit or the chaos-like organization

Old 40k Space Wolves looked a lot like the new 30k Space Wolves

I don't have a problem with that. I guess that I just expected something more specific than stylish regular squad markings. The pack system they use in 40k was Bjorn's idea anyway. It's probably his fault that the legion went full wolf after Russ left.

But Alpharius is Janus and Omegon is the leader of the Deathwatch

Only thing dumber than this i can think of is a Sokar filled with five leviathans, which would also be the only thing more expensive

This dirty Death guard

THIN

PENIS

FOOKEN

I don't think it's thick m8

WASH

Thin the eye paints, use a decent wash instead of sponging on weathering, and your pauldrons look too pristine

Why are there so many bad painters doing Horus Heresy? You'd think they would wait until they could paint TT standard before forking out hundreds of pounds for Forge World.

>complains about man-children
>reaction image is a furry with a piercing
ITS NOT A PHASE MOM NOW COOK ME A SANDWHICH BITCH

One of the reasons they made the Horus heresy was to retcon, and introducing perpetuals was just to give further memes about the memiest legion
>clearly alpharius is a perpetual gifted a web way pack
Looks about as effective as they actually are

Joke's on you, I have two BaC sets to practice on.
That said, I still have to learn to spray undercoat, Chaos Black comes too thin, Corax White comes too thick and grainy.

If you can imprison a daemon in a sword and make it work for you, if you can imprison a daemon in a machine, then you can obviously imprison a daemon within yourself and control it

Because they're WAACfags bleeding over from 40k because it sucks more than ever right now.

They should have just made Alpharius and Omegon one dude with multi-personality disorder. Nobody ever sees them at the same time because they are literally the same person. Alpharius is just as insane as Curze, just more stable.

It would make sense for the primarch of the super secret legion to be so secret that he fractured his personality and now even keeps secrets from himself.

Not him but
You uploaded the silent version

>alpharius is Janus
Don't you mean Samus

Any proper spoilers yet about praetorian of dorn?

Highlight the eyes
Less mud on the left and more on the right leg, otherwise it's like he's a child that just sticks his foot in a puddle
The scratch above the right eye should have silver highlights
Scratch the shoulder pads abit and make it muddy
>mk iv death guard
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You can upload webms with sound on Veeky Forums?

/gif/

>Buying proper kits and dosent even. Know how to undercoat

Yep, Max I've seen was a 2 min vid
Also a guy getting penetrated by someone missing a foot from the 60's whilst 'What makes a man' played in the background

Sometimes less is more but I kinda like that weathering anyway. Add some agrax and it will be greatly improved.

>follow the instructions, shake the can a few minutes more than needed
>still fuck up
I don't know, man.
I have some 60 pots of paint just sitting around.

And then in the last novel it's revealed that none of the 40k exists it was just the ramblings of an autist who gave himself the name Alpharius whilst shivelling inside his crashed ship with Tyranids at the door

Buy the bloody retributor models and play Sigmar until you can hobby properly

do you do short sprays

Do show me how to upload webms with sound to Veeky Forums and I shall crown you the king of internet.

>it's like he's a child that just sticks his foot in a puddle

That was exactly my intention (except for the child part)

I bet you stick your little finger out while holding a paintbrush, you big elitist dandy.

Are retributors even that much cheaper?

That is TT standard?
3+ colors and its based, the paint is thick and goofy but its TT standard. Relax not everyone is a good painter.

How annoyed are you guys with how the custodes spear has more than a hand attached to it

Yes, 20-30cm distant multiple short bursts. Mostly it's okay but some gray spots are left with chaos black.
I did only one mini with Corax white, it was supposed to be a Thousand Son scheme test, but I fucked it up so badly I'm disheartened to give it another go.

>>>/40k/

You can cut off the arm, user. So I'm not annoyed in the slightest.

I hate to be that guy, but when will we see a copy of Praetorian surface?

It's a cool concept, but would create a lot of potholes as there's been at least two separate occasions where Alpharius has been in two places at once (isstvan and deliverance, chondax and alaxxes)

they're going to release custodes models eventually, why would you buy a $30+ model just for a single conversion

Might be cheaper than forgeworld custodes.

It's piss easy to make one, all you need is a GK halberd and a bolter.

It isn't tablestop standard but it's on it's way.

The ones in the picture are mine. Please ignore my shitty highlighting on the black. It was the first one I painted.

Looks pretty sexy, nice job.

I really need to practice getting a steady hand but I'm still shaky.

I doubt that, even with casting the spear itself you've got to buy parts individually for the heads/bodies.

MAYBE if you go full sigmarine for custodes conversions, but those aren't going to look close to what forgeworld will put out.

Well the plot holes wouldn't have existed had that been true from the start. Doesn't even need to be outright stated, could simply be implied.

Regardless the HH series as a whole is crap it humanizes characters that shouldn't be humanized and removes the mystery and obscurity to what was once an unknown era. At least FW portrays their fluff as though it is from historical documents that may or may not be accurate especially after ten thousand years of editing.

Me too, to be honest.

It may not be perfect, but it looks very solid.

Honestly would still be better than 90% of the Horus Heresy so far.

I'm currently assembling two twenty man tactical squads with an apothicary each for the core of my Iron Hands.

At what points value should I add another twenty man squad with an
Apothicary?

Currently the Leviathan Dreadnaughts RAW makes my Iron Hand Iron Hard, anyone have any experiences to share in fielding them? Singular or maniple? Success or failure?
