/HHG/ The Horus Heresy General

Glorious Painted minis Edition
ft Horned Iron Warriors Sub-edition

Last thread we focused a lot on actual minis, games and lists. An user had an interesting narrative battle report and the discord made a reappearance. It was rather nice, as can be seen here XXth thread, 'ere we go.

Sorry.

Why does Ultramarines Orbital Assault trigger people? Aren't Ultramarines by themselves pretty mediocre?

Because stormbolters on drop pods give a free interlocking target
And we see so much of it in 40k

>Aren't Ultramarines by themselves pretty mediocre?
Yeah I thought so. The only good things they have are Suzerains and Guillimans, mostly.
The copied stuff is somewhat too expensive to compensate their enhanced rules.
Ohh that's right
So completely different to having a Rhino as a DT

>Why does Ultramarines Orbital Assault trigger people?
probably because it works well with their interlocking tactics rules

>Aren't Ultramarines by themselves pretty mediocre?
yeah

It's annoying to deal with. Unlike 40k, there's typically a lack of skyfire and interceptor in the average 30k list.

Hey, if I join the discord then will people be able to see my email?

i dont think so

no one really cares anyways

>tfw just realized how many anons tried getting me killed a couple threads ago
Anons pls no hurt sad Word Bearer.

Also, I just realized that is I did my dudes in this scheme they'd all look like Flesh Tearers, which makes me even sadder.

Humidity user?

>Exodus is cute girl
Truly the Exodus Protocol knows no bounds or limits.

Because Rhino guns don't also do that and aren't also seen in 40k.

>they'd all look like Flesh Tearers,
>which makes me even sadder.
Do I even need to tell you how wrong you are right now?

>>tfw just realized how many anons tried getting me killed a couple threads ago
It was a test, user. And you passed it, user. Congratulations.

>Truly the Exodus Protocol knows no bounds or limits.
Who'd suspect the qt3.14? Silly user, all spidergirls are snipers

Yeh.

No, I just don't want them mistaken for BA.

Yay!

Boring and Vanilla, but fuck do I love Drop Pods. Is there any legion who do drop pods better with this style of list? I was considering going Blood Angels too, I really like their fluff.

Always play what you like user. You'll be painting them more than playing, and that's a good amount of marines to do. BA would certainly let you run a variety of deep striking units

I was serious about using the previously mentioned box under the gas stoves built in fans.
I have done it before, and it works well in a pinch

So the Praetor deepstrikes with the Termies, then?
Isn't that a risky move, especially with such a big unit?

The /HHG/ Discord is starting a Podcast! We're looking for speakers with wide interests and some measure of social ability that can hold a conversation without umming and ahing once a sentence.

Do YOU think you can be a speaker, if so send us an audition! Is there something else you could offer to the glorious Emperor's podcast, editing, research, hot juicy topics? Let us know in the Podcast_Development channel!

Need your name given a chapter appropriate colour? Simply message @Haugesen with your preference!

I know IF are rather fond of their drop pods and claws, plus since most of your forces rely on the good ol bolter, you might benefit from the IF legion

We have a discord now?

>picked up a Skorr model on Ebay for less than $30

What have you bought recently, anons?

Some Thousand Sons upgrade parts and blue stuff.
If some Chinese bastards can cast on the cheap then so can I!

Difference is drop pods start in range turn 1 definetly
If you linked it to discord yes
>like flesh testers which makes me sad
Don't me user be FUCKING BRUTAL
Because in 40k there's a formation of free drop pods

A bunch of bits for my Alphas - some torsos and jetpacks, and a legion champion I'm planning to make into my praetor (inspired by the user who suggested the hybrid armor the champion wears would be the sort of thing I'd wear).

Prior to that I scored a primed black Baal predator cheap that I'm going to re-make as a plasma pred

We had a discord since rumours Veeky Forums was kill, if you really wanted you could scroll your way to the first post
Nothing because it took Elemental games 3 T H R E E ducking months to order in greenstuff, and it wasn't even as advertised

Back when Hiroshimoot was thinking about how to keep Veeky Forums on black numbers (or rather lose less money), people were panicking about the post-decimation Veeky Forums, so a Discord was created.
But the apocalypse never came and our nuclear shelters were collecting dust...but now I put the link on the OP and people know they exist once more.

Is the discord even good and/or SFW so I can look at it in public?

Which book 8 be BAs or DAs? Pic is somewhat related. I tried making a BA dread.
Nice filename there.
My bad.

Well I just arrived there.
It's night, so don't expect too much right now, kek.
I've been told it's like /HHG/ but with actual janitors. Sounds like a nice concept.

I'm in a dreadnought mood so post dreadnoughts.

>with actual janitors
That sounds disgusting.

>tfw no dreadnoughts
>no Maulerfiends either

Yep any porn is banned, and you have to have permission to view the politics room, it used to be where I sent AWG complainers from here but then we bonded over those Machiavellian principles, although expect racism

Rather than non-existing janitors, ya toaster!

You don't need Maulerfiends(yet), and when FW does give them 30k rulers you can bet that seal's tears on they will be better than the 40k rules.
>actual janitors sounds disgusting
I don't get it.

>no underslung ass cannons
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

The HHGD is SFW. You could browse in public. We have janitors to control spam, derailment and shit bait.

Multiple simultaneous assault cannons are a meme

The Chapter Generator is rather limited, user. There's only so much I can do now because Ivan is busy drinking vodka. But Ivan has shown some 1k Son, Raptors, and Warp Talons wips.

HNNNNNNG

Damn right.

Duck now I want to do an edit of the stronghold
Or
We are number one but every one is a BRRRRT

Well, they might not be Maulerfiends in name or completely in the looks department but they will probably exist. I'll stop posting Russian generator made dreads now.

>But every one is a jammed malfunction and the Angel weeps :^)

Best set up for land speeders?

It depends on what do you want them for.
Grav speeders can kill ceramite Land Raiders EZ

About $120 in BoP tacticals and terminators (also cataphractii)
About $500 in FW (BaC DG set, Grave Wardens, mkiii shoulders, autocannons, transfer sheet, scythes, termie shoulder pads)
Going in on DG

I like 2 javelins each with lascannon and multimelta. They're easy to pop, but the trick is to outflank them so they hit whatever they need to and then jink and be annoying until they die.

You can change the outcome of one battle from the horus heresy.
>Can't be Terra

Calth. The full might of the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers are there, including their primarchs.

The Word Bearers surprise the Ultramarines during the planning of attacks on the Ork menace, and manage to slaughter the Ultramarines to a man after hard fought battles, Guilliman is on his last legs, and Lorgar, fully empowered by the Chaos Gods stands victorious, his maul raised to end Guilliman's life.


When suddenly, a warp portal opens, revealing a crusading fleet of the Ultramarines 2nd company, as well as several other Ultramarine descended chapter, led by THE Cato Sicarius himself, who manages to duel Lorgar to a standstill and save Big Papa Smurf's life, all while speaking of the greatness of I, Cato Sicarius! And how I, Cato Sicarius, am the only one who could ever save the life of the Primarch all while being able to fix the timeline and ensure the power of the Ultramarines remains the greatest!

The end.

>You can change the outcome of one battle from the horus heresy.
>>Can't be Terra
>What is it and why?

Obvious answer.
Istvaan V.

Not all of the Second Wave are traitors, Ferrus lives, rebellion gets crushed before it gets properly underway.

Woah man, so like, Cato Sicarius is his own gene-father? That's like, crazy, man.

I like javelins but I only have regulars

Intradesting

Is deep striking 5 regular ones worth it?

That costs 275pts, which is less than even a bare bones Spartan. If you have a nuncio vox nearby it could be something to consider.

It would be interesting to see Sanguinius fall to Chaos at Signus and what might happen as a result of that,

I spent $50 on buying bits to make two tactical sergeants

por que

I have the autism

When my next check comes in Im going to spend $100 on various characters to kitbash into praetors and consuls

Just get a prospero/calth squad on ebay/china for ~$24 and grab bits here and there.

autism =/= retard. In fact, sometimes autism = stupid attention to detail and absurd caring about prices.

I want to paint my custodes black and red, would anyone complain if I said they are traitors?

...

>traitor custodes
Like reverse Loyalist Word Bearers. Did not happen. Even more than WB, because you couldn't even claim "Warp shenanigans" and have them be Imperial Heralds.

Why not just say they're post-Heresy and pretend that you're fighting battles in the Scouring?

I don't think Custodes could be traitors, but I would like to see that paint job....

Your time will come, user. What faction(s) are you eyeing?

>pic related

I have $100 in paints, but all of my painted miniatures are from when I had four colors in mid July.
I feel so bad but I keep on buying more bits, that make more marines, that need more bits, that makes more marines, that need more bits....
It's horrible, I need help

Got any pics for your trouble?

Somehow I feel like if some of the Primarchs were female, Magnus would still be a dude and Russ would be a woman.

Solar Auxilia. With their $100 DTs and troops.

Which is why

>china

Though if I ever do a legion it'll probably be mostly plastic.

And I do want to buy the rulebooks.

istvaan

only one change: corax kills lorgar before curze can save him

why: corax needs a bone thrown his way and lorgar is literally irrelevant at that point in the timeline (kor phaeron can still hit calth, erebus can handle the march to terra)

Solar are mean if you build them right. Tell me are you including a Stormhammer?

Of my painted miniatures or my unpainted miniatures or my work desk area?

leadbelchering my entire world eaters army because I'm a weirdo that does one color at a time.

That is how you're supposed to paint...
It is easier on the brushes.

Both I guess

New model on left, old model on right.
Army painter spray, Nuln oil, blood red, silver and gold.

[Spoiler] it's going to be sideways isn't it [/spoiler]

I am legitmately surprised at how badly my phone posted that...

Nice yiffs

...

Is Solar Auxilia as unpopular as it seems?

Hardly anybody seems to play them or even know about them...

Anywho, whats the best way I can take people by suprise with this army?

>whats the best way I can take people by suprise with this army?
field one

Asking my friend who plays this army he says veltarus and flamer sections in arvus and lightning strike fighters with krakens.

>Tell me /HHG/ what's your backlog lookin like on this Sunday night?

I try not to calculate my painting backlog. Lesser men have tried and gone mad.

thanks

Dont get me wrong, Its all worth it when it comes together

Why has there been no Magnus preview? Why the radio silence about all things Thousand Sons?

Was thinking about a Stormlord becasue my group said it was an assault vehicle but I may go more shooty and just take my rule-of-cool axe squad in an Arvus to go be annoying.

And I want a Malcador Infernus because SWEET JESUS THOSE CHEM MUNITIONS IT'S LIKE VULKAN AND MORTARION HAD A CHILD

he's not coming

What would Word Bearers do if they deployed alongside loyal Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion and Night Lords without their primarch?

Any self respecting Aux army should have an assault vehicle. Once I saw a Stormlord super taxi holding its limit of charonites and a super punchy lord marshal. I wouldnt recommend unless you play ultra aggressive and get out and charging before it blows.
