/hhg/ - Horus Heresy General

Best primarch, best legion.

...

Look alright, i would say make the contemptor a contemptor-mortis. It'd be cheaper and be able to deal with Anti-Air. Of course if there is a fluff reason then dont worry about. Other than just be careful with your assault squads

Do sergeants really need so much bling at 1k?
Boys over toys.

As posted in 40k general, I'm thinking a Ludwig sort of thing. Run him as an archmagos with a paragon blade. I like your idea of using the FW dominus, think I might use pic related as a basis for the top half.

...

Looks amazing, pal.

Even your photo box.

Thank god Ward never got a say about 30k smurfs, didn't get to ruin them

Hey, that's nice, but I feel the FW dominus will still need some modification, since he's carrying all the wrong guns. I think strapping two holstered pistols to his side/s, adding a few more servo-arms or tentacles and changing the head of the axe out for something necrony would work quite well, especially if you built an inferno pistol into one of them. The book under the foot is nice as well. Make a fancy rocky base for him like your pic, and that works extremely well.

Assuming Cawl is about £40, that might work well, and get me a Primarch for a similar cost to an actual Primarch, less if I can get the Dominus' body and head separate.

...

...

Dropping the armor and fist only adds two guys per squad. No melta bombs on anybody so relying on the contemptor or the scorpius to get to the squishy bits inside worries me

>Assuming Cawl is about £40
I think your being optimistic.
Consider that the standard GW dominus is £22.
Now consider how this guy is easily three times his size, with at least five time the bits.
I reckon we'd be lucky to see him at £60 at a minimum.

I just realised that the FW dominus is the same price as the GW one.

Eh, probably true. Def. going to get one of him since he'll look good leading my War Convocation, but a second will probably wait a while. Hopefully he'll be available on the internet retailers for 20% off, at least.
I have several ideas for making Scoria that range from understated to properly mental. This one is definitely towards the latter.
Although of I do do him that way I may go ahead with my idea of making a personal Baneblade for him, with a pimp platform on the back hull for him to stand and be awesome.

The GW one is way cooler though

Yeah, but on the other hand, for example, the plastic BA terminator captain is £20, and he's much smaller than the dominus.

That's my hand, not the other one! He's even smaller and he's still pricey as hell. The more expensive a small character is the more rediculously expensive Belisarius 'Bitzbox' Cawl Mc'Huge is gonna end up.

How many points is it so far?
The sabre seems like a waste

The FW inte is not really that great looking to begin with.

And basically free with the Start Collecting box.

Finished MoM. Is ending when Emprah summon ghost army to massacre daemons, and victims of Istvaan and Ferrus are present mean that Emperor indeed protect?

The dominus is way bigger than a terminator, even on a larger base, yet the price difference is £2.

No, that's His stand

Not that guy, but I think the new FAQ said you get rules for a weapon you hold yet not use. Not saying he gains +1i since Unwieldy cancels it out, but if he were wielding a power sword.

Actually your right I was thinking about your point in the wrong direction.
But I still think the odds are that GW will gouge for Belisarius.

Is he like Alucard from Hellsing, where he commands all the souls he has consumed?

Ghost armies are nothing new. 6e rulebook mentions the Year of the Ghosts, when the honored dead rose as vengeful spirits to fight back the forces of Chaos.

Why are smurf players all redditors?

Define redditor.

Is anything else in the start collecting box really useable in 30k?

Ultramarine

Not really. Skitarii could work as thralls with some conversions, but the dunecrawler is not really 30k.

if I were to play mechanicum I'd probably use skitarii as counts-as thralls because I like the ranger models. so I mean those would be nice.

If I took kastellan and left off their stupid fucking heads, would you hate me for using them as castellax?

its not that crazy, kastellan were in MoM

Finished finally

Wargame Exclusive sells alternative kastellan heads. Maybe add some other stuff, like a servo-skull on the torso, more prominent shoulder pads, etc. You can keep the arms and mount cut-off barrels from the gun arms into the palms for bolters. Multi-melta, some techno-blaster or a beefed up heavy bolter on the shoulder mount should work as the various gun options.

>the dunecrawler is not really 30k.
Boooooo! Arkhan had invented the MULE already and the Onager came not too long after.
Gimme crabtanks.

I'd be fine with it, up until you brought up MoM.

Why does this fanbase keep turning the primarchs into cute anime girls, and why is it so awesome?

The mechanicum stuff in MoM was fine though

Why do you keep doing this? Go back to raping people in their dreams.

You'll still get made fun of for how they look, even without the head covers. But yeah, it's fine.

Skitarii are fine now, but they're likely to be brought into 30k as titan legion skitarii - at which point it'll be a little confusing to use them as something different. But we don't really know. I like them too, and wouldn't mind seeing them used as thralls.

Because fem-Corax is fucking adorable, probably.

>/hhg/
whenever i see this in the catalog
>horse horsey general

No I think it's because you haven't gone to therapy yet.
>mfw fem-Fulgrim still has the biggest rack out of them in that pic
All is right with the world. Out of curiosity is this made by the guy who did that other picture you post a lot?

>Not really.
By RAW, no, but both were obviously in action during 30k.

And Army used Rhinos and Land Raiders. We all have things we want but can't have.

Modify the skitarii, of course. Just saying that Mechanicum cyborgs are Mechanicum cybords. Give them alternative heads (maybe something from the DE line with face masks) paint them with brass armour and maybe modify the radium carbines into short lasguns for laslocks. Maybe tone down the backpacks from excess cables, antennas and optics into very simple power packs.

No. And whether I go to therapy or not, Cora a cute.

You should still do it.

They don't work RAI either, unless you can show intent for Dunecrawlers in the game right now. Maybe as the thanatar, but that's one hell of a proxy, if I may say so.

I only like it because i like warhammer high. Other than that i have problems imagining the 3 meter tall develish looking children burning total bro vulkan the man as a little girl.

That smie makes her tense her muscles in her cheeks, thus fortifying her face.

If you ever believed there was doubt as to the Emperor's divine interventions in the first place, well oops, the lore is going further and further into making it all true.

If you want to do it,do it right.

>unless you can show intent for Dunecrawlers in the game right now
What intent? dunecrawler's a pre-heresy design. Skitarii are pre great crusade.

I mean, it's the same idea as the Hunter and every chimera chassis vehicle. They're present in the time period, forgeworld just didn't include them for whatever reason.

My problem with this shit is that i like mystery and when black library starts explaining all the shit and do it badly it just turns me off.
I dont wonna know if its luck or divine intervention, leave that in the middle, makes it more interesting to me.

Those designs were a first go, and in some cases do really come close to reflecting each primarch. There's always room for improvement.

Yay, im not the only one who still remebers whh.

Do you think they'll ever make Dark Mechanicus models?

I want some techno-horrors that aren't robot dinosaurs.

This is the kind of Death Guard I like, where the white looks like the porcelain of a well-used urinal.

Much prefer it to those overly smeary and gungy DG you see all the time.

I still find it odd Skitarii aren't listed as one of the armies the mechanicum has in 30k. Their lore is that they have been the go-to soldiers for the techpriests for eternity and infantry support of Titans, and yet all we have in 30k is cybernetica or ordos tonks.

>What intent?

You do know what RAW and RAI mean, right?

>forgeworld just didn't include them for whatever reason.

Hunter uses the Rhino, which is in the game and Chimera chassis is used, for example, by the Legion artillery vehicles.

I hope so, but fw seems to like their tentacles on their mechanicus stuff so they're going in the right direction.

Also I'm still waiting for someone to make a fic of (pic related) with Freya Doming Miranda

whh is kind of a shitty name, pd is a lot better as it allows it to be more then just a high school sol drabble. The really interesting stuff is never addressed anyway.

We have the whole female primarch thing going, but the legions weren't always the same as their respective primarch in personality/mentality. So, who would want the female version of their legion?

>VIII Legion full of cute thicc goth grils
Fuck yeah I'd want it.

But girls aren't as good at scaring people shitless as men are.

How many Slasher Villains are girls?

Im sorry but what does pd stand for and what interesting stuff isnt even adressed?

You do understand why I specified RAW, right?

>Hunter uses the Rhino, which is in the game
But the hunter itself isn't, and the hunter is a pre-heresy design.

>and Chimera chassis is used, for example, by the Legion artillery vehicles
And literally no where else. The dedicated transports of the auxilia is the dracosan. The dedicated transport of the imperial army is the mother fucking GORGON.

militia can only use towed guns
solar auxilia artillery pieces are stuck on the russ chassis because of reasons

There's a ton of strange omissions in what the forgeworld books include. Skitarii being the most notable because of how large a part the mechanicus plays in things during the heresy.

By all rights they SHOULD be allowed in 30k, but in the books it's like they don't exist.

It would have been cool if there had been more of a crossover in units and special rules for the mechanicum between 30 and 40k since that faction should have maintained some of its technological wonders. It would've been nice to see them as more of a faction that changed slightly rather then two complete difdrent onces imo.

PD: Primarch's Daughters. The focus shouldn't be a High School, it should be the lives of the Primarch's Daughters and their struggles. The bloody cut-throat nature of politics, the squabbles the Primarchs have with one another, the problems of actually managing the Imperium and teaching the Daughters how to take up that burden, and of course a bit of good-old-fashioned 40k bolter porn. The closest analogy I can come up with is this:

forums.spacebattles.com/threads/lovehammer-the-grimdark-edition-sailor-moon-warhammer-40k.237644/

This takes two things that seem like they could never mix, and creates something that is legitimately compelling out of the idea. That is what PD should have been from the beginning, instead of the rather angsty sappy stories we've gotten thus far.

PD is well due for a reboot anyway. I hope we'd get something far closer to canon with the story next time.

You'd almost start to suspect FW choosing unit entries in such a way that it only promotes buying FW kits

40k Mechanicum should still have Tech-Thralls, the Tanks and the Myrmidons. They are sorely missed in 40k.

How many yanderes are guys?

really fires up your neurons

Yeah, it's obvious enough. Only really a problem if you play against people who get autistic about RAW and don't give a shit about the setting, but having to houserule stuff in is a pain in the ass sometimes.

You'd be surprised...

>thought of proxying myrmidon destructors with kataphrons for economic reasons

>realized they're the same price anyway

Fem-Khan and Corax make me feel funny

Thats your vision mate. I love the silly take on warhammer stuff because the canon is so grimdark. The grimdark stuff from whh is some of the best it got to ofder though so i guess i'd be interested if somebody made something from your idea.

>You do understand why I specified RAW, right?

The alternative to which is RAI, right? If you just wanted to say "there's no rules for the unit" then just say that.

>the hunter is a pre-heresy design.

Where does it say this, by the way?

>And literally no where else.

So far. I mean, we've but scratched the surface of Army. Give it some time.

>The dedicated transports of the auxilia is the dracosan.

Because SA is FW's baby and they must have everything special to them. Also, their rifle squads are 20 models minimum, so there's no way of fitting them into a Chimera.

>The dedicated transport of the imperial army is the mother fucking GORGON.

Militia is the PDF, not the Army proper.

>solar auxilia artillery pieces are stuck on the russ chassis because of reasons

Colossus in 40k also is on a Russ chassis. It's probably because the SA need a sealed environment vehicle and the larger Russ chassis allows the gun to be internal and have the tank sealed from hostile environment.

Also, because FW needs to sell new models.

>in the books it's like they don't exist.

It's almost as if they were pushing their own shit over GW stuff.

Got a thing for the fast ones, I see.

It's in the shadow, I cant see anything

...

>a legion of thicc cute goth girls
I don't need it. I don't need it.

You better not. I sure as hell don't want DA scum anywhere near my legion.

Tell that to Curze's snapped back.
