/Hhg/ The Horus Heresy General

Got a new compressor for xmas so I decided to get some basecoats down

Ex-Thousand Sons Revuel Arvida is Janus

Dwarf axes (thunderer kit, at least, comes with loose ones) and high elf spearman swords in scabbard make nice Celtic style CCWs for tacticals. Maybe Chaos Warrior top knots for helmets. Anvil makes capes with fur that fits on Marine backs (leaves a space for the backpack connection).

I made my force a mix of generic legion and SW Celtic, modelling it after something like late Roman legions, a mix of Roman and medieval. Idea is that the leader is a Terran vet, as are some of the old guard, while newer dudes are more Fenrisian, so there's a mix there. Some units will be super Imperial with aquila shoulder pads and laurels on their helmets while others are more SW with skulls painted onto face masks and pelts hanging from armour.

Wasn't my first choice but better than Omegon.

Would it be acceptable if I converted BaC heavy bolters into autocannons by giving them extended barrels?

The Orbital Assault RoW allows your Rapiers to take Drop Pods. According to the Drop Pod entry a single Drop Pod can accommodate a single Rapier and its crew.

How does this work if you have a Rapier Battery of 2 or 3 Rapiers who have formed a squadron? Can you only drop pod down Batteries formed from a single Rapier (a massive waste of an elite slot)?

I got $300 for Christmas to spend of FW. Sadly with local exchange rates that's only worth 100 pounds. What would be the best thing to get for that much?

What Legion do you play?

All of them.

Literally, my overall goal is to have an army for all 18 Legions, plus Mechanicum, Imperial Army and Knights. I want to be able to refight the entire Heresy on my own.

I hope to hear more about this. As for your price limit, you can never go wrong with legion specifics or your basic infantry.

With 120 Plastic Marines (60 each in Mk III and Mk IV) and 50 resins (30 Mk IV and 20 Mk II) I think I have enough men for now.

Weapons and Shoulder Pads will probably be the order of the day.

....... if this is your budget and your is much better to buy the other 30 betrayal at calth/Prospero and not a deredeo dreadnought

Are you building all legions at once or going one at a time?

In cannon, are every marines "Vanilla" like Out Of Box Propero/Calth or are they heavily modified like with the FW bits ?

I'm also kinda lost on the MK armor since ot looks like everychapter created their own armor/helmet with fw kits...

I assume that new recruits had standard stuff.

After they go through some battle, they will either need replacement parts or modifications to suit their needs.

They have little extra bits and pieces everywhere plus pouches for magazines and grenades but essentially they look like normal marines

I love some of the more baroque depictions of space marines as I never felt like marines should be all that standardized between chapters in 40k

30k on the other hand they should be vaguely uniform

I imagine that in the tens of thousands of marines in each Legion, foot-sloggers would have the most generic gear with minimal variety (like in the BaC and BoP sets), while those with experience, that have fought with distinction, or serve under a recognized officer would have access to more specialized or ornamented gear. Some Legions are also more inclined to modifications and personalization, while others are fairly straightforward/uniform

Was Fulgrim finding the Laer blade orchestrated or was that just on accident?

As far as I remember, it was an accident. The Imperium had run into the Laer on previous occasions, but Fulgrim made a point during that campaign to kill them off once and for all. Unfortunately, the Emperor's Children are notable among the Legions for loving to take trophy weapons from defeated enemies, and sometimes even use them.

who's LL ?

you could use the compressor to clean that wheel

An early E-Book release. Now I'm not sure if it can be downloaded at present, I've heard someone say it can't be downloaded until 25/02/2017. Can someone confirm this? If it isn't, I might buy it now and share it with /hhg/ as an Xmas Present

Lord Lysander

I'm thinking of downloading one of those $3.99 advent short stories since pretty much nobody is putting it out online. How does GW distribute epubs? Do I just create an account, check out and buy the book, then download it from the BL site under my account?

Pretty much.

Merry Christmas, guys, how's it going?

uhh, quiet. Thinking about getting a threesome with some hookers (never had one), but Im trying to save money.... So I can start a Dark Eldar army and get into 40k

>uhh, quiet. Thinking about getting a threesome with some hookers (never had one),
user, that's how you get diseases.
>So I can start a Dark Eldar army and get into 40k
In hindsight that makes sense why you want the hookers.
>that girl on the right
That's Mai isn't it?

Yes. Also, it's illegal not to use protection with escorts in Australia. Although sometimes I have taken head without wearing a rubber...
Is there a high possibility of a Cabal supplement coming out for the Deldar?

>Also, it's illegal not to use protection with escorts in Australia. Although sometimes I have taken head without wearing a rubber...
Oh course you're an Aussie.
>Is there a high possibility of a Cabal supplement coming out for the Deldar?
This year has been very bloodthirsty but not enough blood has been shed for that so no. That's also the reason why Inferno hasn't been released yet.

Learnaen upgrade kit when?

It's a collection of previously published stories senpai, but thanks anyway.

Once 2016's bloodlust has been sated.

>that picture
>a naruto movie is actually coming out
>this is reality

I tried doing it, I'd like to see you succeed.

Not being sarcastic, I'm bad at conversion, I want to see someone do it right so I can copy it.

A reverse imahe search leads me to believe it's fabricated.

Besides there's no way my waifu would stoop so low.

that pic isnt real, but there is a naruto movie coming out

Not really. If I understood, it was part him, part Magnus, part his pet demon.

Will we eventually be using GW Plague Marine models for DG by the time we get to the siege?

'Twas the night before Atheistmas when all through the mist
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Fist
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Leman Russ soon would be there

The Custodes were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of flavoured corpse starch danced in their heads
And Malcador with his staff, and I in my plate
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's respite.

When out in the courtyard there arose such a clatter,
I sprung from my chamber to see what was the matter.
And Magnus, my son, appeared there with a flash,
Frightened the populace with an almighty crash!

"Father!" He cried out, "Horus is fallen!"
"What!?" I tiraded, all shoutin'and callin'
When, to my maddening eyed should appear,
But the traitorous fleet and Seven Primarchs I fear.

In a moment, my marines, set about with chainsword and gun.
I knew in a moment; "Battery and cannon."
More rapid then eagles his thralls they came,
And he bombarded, and deployed, all was fire and flame!

"Now Sanguinius! Now, Jaghatai! Now, Rogal Dorn!"
"On Fulgrim! On Curze! On Mortarion, Angron!"
"To the top of that spire!" To the base of that wall!"
"Now march on! March On! MARCH UPON ALL!"

As guns bombarded and before them wild astartes loot,
And macrocannon, and lance battery shoot,
And so on up to my palace-top my marines, they fought,
With the warp full of daemons, and advantages were sought.

And then, for reasons unknown, as I heard from an aide;
"Sire! THe Vengeful Spirit's shields are a-fade!"
As I drew in my power, and conferred with my Sons
Up toward the teleport we charged, our hearts weighed a ton

He was clad all in scale, from his head to his foot,
And his skin was all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A wolf pelt he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a God, at the behest of powers black.

His eyes - how they burned! His mind - what a will!
His face was like madness, his maul - an anvil!
His cruel little mouth was drawn up as a sneer,
And the beard of his chin was black without peer.

The stump of The Angel's head he held tight in his claw,
And his body slumped, I - a moment too late, delayed by the War.
Tears sprang to my eyes and I fell to the floor,
That shook when he laughed, my psyche now torn.

We duelled and fought, me and his-damned-self,
And I held back when I fought him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon told me that I had everything to dread.

He spoke many a word, to turn me to the Gods,
He ripped off my arm, then against all the odds.
A lone guardsman entered the bridge
And defied Him and died, as you would slay a midge

I sprang to my feet and to my powers I called upon
And away his soul died, and to you I leave a new dawn
And with a last breath I exclaim to the Imperium, bright
"Happy Athiestmas to all, and to all a good night!"

>GKs end up being EXACTLY AS PLANNED

That would be an amazing shitstorm.

I have read ABD HH novel about Angron (Betrayer?) but it's been a while. Was it ever explicitly stated why Big E beamed up Angron when he did? Couldnt he have just helped him out?

Thanks, was fun to read.

Good work user, that was worth a laugh.

Does anybody have new Garro book? I'm looking for internal illustration fom this book.

Because the Emperor is a big meanie dumb-dumb who doesn't care about Angr- Sorry, I mean 'The Twelfth's' friends because he's too busy beating my mu- Sorry, I mean the Chaos Gods.

BL is having issues and the book isn't ready for download yet.

3 best & 3 worst things about BL HH series, go!

My girlfriend really likes the Sons of Horus, but we're struggling to retain the feel of the legion in an initial 1k list to start off. Just a centurion, some troops, and a few supporting elements, mostly focusing on infantry and a few lighter vehicles, before adding beatsticks.

Anybody have sample lists they like to use? 2k+ are fine, just need to get a feel for the general composition, aside from spamming Justaerin.

Chaos is great tbqh

Reavers and seekers in Dreadclaws are very fluffy as well as utilising sicarians and outflanking Vet squads in rhinos.

Nah they've got swallow to rewrite and flesh out the shorts
What I hate is that it doesn't include the vow of faith novella
So the blurb says he is going to die but the audios etc didn't actually hint at that
Just Goulding pissing on Abnett and McNeil again

The tutlearies aren't tzeentch daemons
They are future echoes of Magnus shards
That's why whenever he meets the shard his tutelary disappears and when he merges with it he takes its name

True or not that's hilarious. But yeah no, they daemons.

Maybe something like that?

Anyone post this yet?

nope, haven't seen that yet, and is that a khornate symbol on the axe blade?

Someone posted in their Facebook it's the AoS khornate Minotaur

It's an AoS Daemon Prince that the retards at Fag World forgot they'd shown at an Open Day already. :^)

I someone going to tell them? Should I tell them? somebody should tell them....

You can indeed only take units of a single rapier, because anything larger doesn't fit inside a drop pod.

Usually it are persons like veterans and high ranking officers that have fancy customised suits of armour.

A new upgrade kit recommended and made by FW seems more likely.

user that was beautiful :'(

I've considered a Sicaran, but there's been talk of plastic heresy vehicles, so I've been holding off for now. I do like the Reavers though, she's a bigger fan of their Contemptor.

Pretty good. Does Maloghurst just loaf around on his own? Javelins are a nice idea.

The idea was Mal rides with the Reavers, though admittedly that's mainly because he has to go somewhere and I wand to fit a flavourful unit in rather than a Tac Support Squad or something. I'm not a Sons player myself but all discussion I've seen on them appears to suggest Orbital Assault with Vets, and it's a nice stepping stone to eventually adding in Horus himself (who also makes Vets Troops).

NOT SO FAST GOLDBERG!

>in the beast arises he has two eyes, Ianius only has one
>Mortarion mentions knowing Janus, and that the entire GKs were founded on a lie, which doesn't make sense here
>still doesn't explain the grey armour big O had in serpent beneath

>ALfags can't accept their headcanon ain't real.

Just face it. Alpharius is dead and omegon didn't lead the grey knights.

BL has damaged the heresy with so many tweests and toorns it's getting ridiculous. All this memery just makes it worse.

>>Mortarion mentions knowing Janus, and that the entire GKs were founded on a lie
Well that account was a lie :^)
Also, Mortarion KNEW SilOmegArius? Nobody knew him, not even Horus. Hell, Horus himself didn't know half the time who he was talking to, because not even he knew Omegon existed. Whenever he spoke to him he thought he was talking to Alpharius.

Which is just shitty storytelling.

If you've set all these twists and foreshadowing that the AL will have a civil war and Omegon will become Janus, only to piss on it completely derailing half a decade's worth of world building by various authors is shit

Lorgar and Emps definitely knew, Horus might have pre Molech judging by dialogue and definitely post, and some of the daemon primarchs may have known

>Alpharius is dead
>The primarch of the legion that has primarch growing tech and could make more
>again, for the second time, after girlyman killed one

Ok those privy to warp secrets may indeed have known, but if there was someone who knew jackshit of the warp that was Mortarion, and being briefed about someone after your ascention to DP doesnt mean you "knew" him.
I also wish to believe Lorgar was puzzled beyond words when the gods asked him to give Alpharius two copies of his book, "Just because".

Also, link to last bread. Eating last night's dinner as breakfast woooo

> if there was someone who knew jackshit of the warp that was Mortarion, and being briefed about someone after your ascention to DP doesnt mean you "knew" him.

It would still mean you retroactively knew him, just not neccesarily close enough.

Also GK being founded by the secret 21st primarch with secret special marine making tech is definitely more deceptiony than being founded by a shard of Magnus fused with a loyalist 1kS

They have emps kid-making goo, not the actual knowledge or facilities to actually make primarchs.

In deliverance lost Corax says they can easily make Primarchs

>reading comprehension
In the Beast Arises, Janus has 2 eyes, one of which is marked by an old injury.
In Last Son of Prospero, Ianius manifests with 2 eyes, one of which appears injured.

It doesn't simply appear injured, it's covered in scar tissue

Well, in the book corax says that they could make new Primarchs given a decade or two but they decide against even trying for moral reasons

Alpha fags have had 10,000 years with it. Go figure

Please god tell me some of you people are either underage or master rusemen, there cannot simply be people this stupid.

Dark Mechanicum stuff?

Can someone share Last son of Prospero?

Welcome to Veeky Forums.

Boooo to both options :C

>Please Emps tell me some of BL's writers are either underage or master rusemen, there cannot simply be people this cringy.
Headcanon best canon.

Any ready the Grey Raven? Hear it was terrible. What happened to the RG libby? Dead? Knight Errant? Nothing and just a waste of data storage?

[REDACTED]

I FUCKING KNEW IT. THEY COULDN'T LEAVE IT ALONE. THOSE BASTARDS.

Knight errant (could guess from the title) but the test Malc sets for him is just retarded grimderp
