Horus Heresy General /hhg/

Rolled 7 (1d26)

RIP based Alan Bligh edition
Unification Wars subedition.

Cozy Fortifications were specified, Blackshields weren't just Thunder Warriors, we sent letters to the Emprah and Alpharius led the Siege of Terra. HH is apparently staying in 7th Edition and FW is releasing all the things people don't want. Ben Kingsley opted out of playing Amon and pretty Knights fought Xana. Some cool historical UM fluff was posted, the Albians have a range of accents and the new Dread has almost enough gun.

First for 7th is better

Thanks for the game, Alan.

>RIP based Alan Bligh edition
No Alan picture, you failed opie.

It is a sad day thought. RIP Alan.

Good summary my man

RIP Alan. He always seemed like he would a really nice guy to chat with.

Comfy summary, user

Well, now that we know we're going to be living in the hell that is 7th Edition a little bit longer: I had asked in the previous thread that I was looking to do some work on my BaC Termi Praetor. Is there a decent all around loadout I should aim for? I don't mind a bit of converting.

F

RIP in peace.

Paragon Blade and Combi-Plasma/-Melta is generally the "best" loadout.

>All around Termi Praetor
4++, power fist and combi-melta seem capable of dealing with anything. Master-craft and add digital weapons as you will.

Might find a suitably fat head and gs some long hair a goatee and stache on it for a sargent or something

Yeah, my bad. I have made one for the next thread. Hopefully he is now far from all the autistic screeching, one way or another.

Good, user.

Good night, sweet prince. We`ll missing.

8th doesn't look great; you can't seriously call a game where you can place a trio of predators rear-armour facing adjacent to each other and it makes no difference

Staying in 7th would be fucking disastrous though. They'll have alot of time to make a 7.5ed with Alan Bligh no longer available to write Angelus though.

Rip Blighty

>Some cool historical UM fluff was posted
?

May the Blighnade rest in peace.

There are moar better things to be excited about, user.

Click the numbers that're underlined in the first post.

Not to continue the maudlin shit, but French has quite a good write up of how based he thought his mate Bligh was:
www . john-french.com/2017/05/alan-bligh-remembered.html
Better than ADB's crying.

I finally did it. I finally got done with the Legionary Generator after nearly a year of college and procrastination.

I missed the news.

What happened to him

If facing mattered so much why didn't you ask for infantry to have them?

Don't be a hypocrite. 40k works best as abstracted beer and pretzel game because there's too many fucking models on the table and gameplay too slow to do anything deep with it.

Cancer.
Don't fuck with resin.

It wasn't finished? What's new?

He passed away.
>It wasn't finished
Yeah. The last time I did something to it was before college sidetracked me, and then I just goofed off when I had time to do more to it.
>What's new?
This is just the first version of it.

>8th ed won't ruin the things you lov-

>Boxnaught 209
>Ruin

Redemptor looks good in most ways except for the dumb tacked-on looking gattling weapon on the power fist arm. That really ruins the model badly. Other than that, it looks like a boxnaught that could actually function and move. I like it.

I liked ED 209

Also continues the struggle of spacemarines vs stairs

Even that marine to the right is shocked. It probably has enough dakka, and don't get me started on the legs.

>Giant fuckhueg plasma cannon
>Fist with gatling wotzit
>Two twin-linked big bolters

We want to put a bunch of weapons on this thing, but we want all of them smol.

40k general is here

>there are faggots who don't like this new model
>there are people who don't appreciate RT style dreadnoughts coming back
Newfags the lot of you.

...

Here I thought FW was going to make the modern Eddie. Shows what I know I guess.

oh shush

Love it, old boxnought will have a special place in my heart but this beauty is awesome, Im getting 3 when it comes out.

t. Newfriend who doesn't remember the glorious days of rouge trader and can't appreciate models influenced by them

Eddie is the Deredo. Chuck is the Contemptor. They didn't make a Fury, they made the Levi instead.
To say the new Primaris is a spiritual successor to the old guys is a stretch and then throwing on that if you don't like it you're just new (itt of all places) is a poor show.

>Eddie is the Deredo. Chuck is the Contemptor. They didn't make a Fury, they made the Levi instead.
My mistaken. I have forgotten a lot of things.

>walker
>towers over Primarines
>5-6 guns (is there a gun in the palm of the fist?) of varying shapes and sizes

We truly are Tau now.

What on earth is a Primarine?

There were only three people at my store who played 30k, myself included, and never more than two at the same time. We made do facing other 40k armies.

Horus Heresy is now dead in the water at our store.

Yeh looks like it's trying to shit out a new one
Custodes are gold in 40k so ...
A dick is modelled on a pussy, doesn't make it anymore feminine
Anyway I have that model

I don`t understand this Range/Weight/Conbat Rate stuff. What is this?

Primus marines

>going to stores

Holy fuck I want a gatling Sicaran for my Scars now.

It's very clearly based off the eddie, you'd be an idiot to deny that. Sure, you don't have to like it and the stuff about people who don't like it are newfags is mostly just shitposting on my part, but it's definitely closer to the eddie than the contemptor is, with some stuff from the casterferrum thrown in.

Both this and the contemptor are the new eddie, but this one is definitely closer to the look. Not that that means contemptors aren't great, I love the little round fellas.

>Trying to watch alien
>slaanesh appears in ads

I thought the contemptor was supposed to do that?

>Yeh looks like it's trying to shit out a new one
Now that's colorful.
One user made a better version of the Knight Errant Generator after the one I made didn't work too well, and remember getting advice to put that on this. But that was a while ago and my shoddy memory can't remember much.
Marines times 2. Of course GW would do that.

Oh forgive me for not living in a wide suburb with plenty of people and space for playing 30k.

>Marines times 2. Of course GW would do that.
Where are my primaris-centurions dammit.

Eh... this is closer.

You ask for the impossible.

>Marines times 2. Of course GW would do that.

Welcome to a few weeks ago.

>mfw learned GW continued to be GW
>mfw a piece of a tooth got chipped off
What a good Saturday.

Sure thing bro.

Would black primary and gold trim be acceptable Imperial Fists colors? Is there any heraldric reason for the IF colors or just Dorn wants everyone to his boys are there to fuck them up?

I'm fine with them. Anyone who doesn't play Space Marines isn't losing anything and there's always the salty, salty Marinefag tears flooding /40kg/ when they're not the center of attention anymore.

Is there any list type Mechanicum can't pull off reasonably well?
Infantry Blocks they have Thralls and Peltasts.
Elite Dakka they have Myrmidons
Mechanized they have Triaros, Macrocarid awesomeness.#
Tanks they have Macrocarid again, the Archimandrite, Krios and arty batteries.
Airborne they have Vulturax, Arvus drops and Lightnings.
Nidzilla they obviously have Cybernetica.

But they could have came up with something better. Only plus side of today is that I learned the next book is coming out. I knew I was feeling something.

A thread or two ago someone painted a force of Fists primarily black, and veterans seem to favour black bits/largely black armour. Go for it and post pics

Garrison Legions 4 lyfe

>being sociable
>not converting those few friends you made when you were 9 because none of you had friends 4 years into high school

So what are the chances of the Emperor model/rules being released before the Siege of Terra? Could we potentially get a War in the Webway black book?

most competitive terminator force? someone recommended DG

So, on the one hand, new custodes shit like the Aquilon and the air transport, a variety of new vehicles for the legion, a AoS rpg and Titanicus.
On the other hand, no 8th for HH, Bligh is gone and the both firepikes and solarite weapons look like shit.
Not sure how to feel about today.

DG, TS and IF.

fuck me that's an awesome Indomitus Pattern.

Do you think they can be converted to a Chapter Master?

help anons. mechanicum fag must be destroyed! who does it best? legion, units, wargear, i need the lot!

ultimate beep boop missing please

>a AoS rpg and Titanicus.
>Titanicus
please elaborate.

Aquilons are Cataphractii.

FW just decided to be shits and redesign the shoulders and flamers, because fuck you, we're just gonna give you a taste of old to make you moist, then go in hard for your cash.

Have you been living under a rock, user?

Lots of plasma, melta and lascannons. IW have Iron Havocs, expensive heavy support squads with limitations on equipment, tank hunter and BS 5. Load them up with lascannons and missile launcher (comes with all three missiles included) and go to town. IW rules benefit a shooty playstyle but you could use their ROW to advance also.

Just buy Huron. He looks fairly similar and does match the space marine aesthetic.

>horus heresy Epic Armageddon
want

Who know some book about Ordo Reductor in HH and Great Crusade?

Anyone got plans on converting the 30k army lists to 8th once it drops? Say what you will about the direction of 30k, I just want to be able to play against 40k armies.

Orion gunship: 13/12/12, flare shield, 2x tl Lastrum boltcannon, missile launcher, tl arachnus blaze cannon, room for 14 guys, agile, deep strike

crossbreed of Barracuda and Shtorm Eagle, but nice

Yeah, I plan on doing so for my Custodes; should be easy enough as they'll be getting most stats for 40k anyway and I don't like their tanks. Some weapons here and there, dreads and termies, maybe a hero or two. Done.
Also, franky, fuck FW for not progressing to 8th.

I'll probably just play my TS as tzeentchy flesh chaos marines. 7th ed is such garbage.

I'll buy Magnus model but until the conversion, I'm not touching 30k

>Say what you will about the direction of 30k
I will. It's a bone-headed move and I hate it. Fuck it all, why does FW have to be this bloody stupid?

Eh, it's a lot of work and getting people outside your immediate circle to roll with such is a huge hassle. I guess I'll grin and bear it unless some hero on here does it for me.

Why'd he need to die?
The important thing here is what variant he plays.
Against boops you want Lascannon, Sniper Vets, a decent chunk of plasma, Assault Cannon if you can get them, Dreads do OK, etcetera.

Against Reductor, we hate Dreadnoughts with a burning passion because a lot of T5, Podding Melta for artillery, maybe some graviton to pound Macrocarids and Secutarii/Adsecs with AP4 blasts.

are you me?
>>be young and in anime club, get roped into 40k.
>> eventually "grow up" and become to edgy for the animeclub, stop playing and get rid of all my childish shit.
>> grow up to be over 20 years old and stop being a fedora wearer, kick my childhood friends in the nuts and give them partial armies and offer to paint their shit as long as the shuffle some plastic with me.
>> now we play HH and 40k.

Sadly there aren't any, user. Decima on Istvaan III, that's it. We don't get nice things, it's always the Marines, and when Mech does get to fight it's the Cybernetica.

Facing is much more a facet of tank-combat than it is infantry combat.

Simplification is necessary for the game, and it could do with either that or less models. As people will simply increase the points limits, simplification it is, but they've went too far by removing what was a good layer of depth.

Did we get to see any new Dark Mechanicum models?

I'll do it for an exercise more than anything, although it'll likely cripple my TS.

It's possible with enough groundswell that a fan-made list becomes commonly accepted when GW/FW fail to deliver on that specific front. Just look at Heralds of Ruin Kill Team or the countless amount of fan support for all of the Specialist Games.

It probably wouldn't even be very hard to make, considering that most vehicles and weapon options will get rules in the Imperial Armour Index books. The only hard part is converting Legion-specific rules and characters.

They clearly had a discussion about either
A) Finishing the legions and then converting the whole system
or
B) Postponing Angelus and spending the next year doing nothing but converting the whole system.

Bear in mind converting means the model releases probably would have stopped for brand new stuff other than legion cosmetics.

So what they're doing is continuing to support the current business while (very likely) several of the team work in the background converting the system with a planned release date of greater than one year but less than oh, three or something.
Remember to follow the ££££$$$$

There was probably a bit of paralysis as well considering the head of the design team and chief writer developed cancer.

The new psyker rules will hurt our TS plenty as is. We'll probably have psyker explode every other turn and take a bunch of guys with him.
