Horus Heresy General /hhg/

TSons job user, it's what they do.

There's a tradeoff: in the old fluff, the traitor primarchs were just stereotypical bad guys - Horus's fall didn't make as much sense when the Emperor was a nice guy. The story really depended on Horus being possessed by a daemon after "falling ill" on Davin, and that's stupid. It means he was nothing more than a tool (ironically enough) of Chaos, with no agency of his own.

Now the traitors are interesting and sometimes even relatable. Yes, it's gone too far the other way, but I still think it works better than the old fluff.

Time to write a Lion King sequel in which Simba conquers the continent but half his sons go rogue.

Well the newer fluff about his fall is equally stupid, it was better when his actions depended on a chaotic evil third party than "I hope I don't become unemployed when we win the crusade"

I don’t think the shields are THAT bad, sizewise. It's there for me to experiment with and potentially use. The shield cost me like a $1.50 and was mainly there to put me over the free shipping threshold.

Oh, the shields? Yeah those are cool.

This mini is a great statement about how all legions can use all marks to great effect. Good job user

Cool model. Sigmarine shields are pretty solid. Shame they're not quite good enough for breachers, since they lack a gun hole, or a decent spot to carve out a gun hole.

Full disclosure: this is unfortunately not mine but it is something I aspire to. It was something that came up when Googling 30k Ultramarines.

Still, most depictions of roman legionnaries have them wearing those rectangular shields, without any hole or indentation on which to place a spear.

And it's UM the only one who can make testudo marines.

Yup, sorry IF, you tried. But you still have TH/SS termies. Unless you mention Firedrakes, that is.
