/HHG/ The Horus Heresy General

I figure this might be the place to ask since most HH stuff is Forge World; Do FW run out of stock, take the product down from their website, then restock stuff, or is it a case of once it's gone from their website, they dont produce it anymore?

Some stuff does seem to die, unfortunately. One thing that can happen is a model's mold gets old and worn and needs replacing, but it can be a long time before FW might get round to it. And if a model wasn't selling that well anyway, replacing its mold may never reach the top of their priority list...

What are you after, out of interest?

Behold, a stunning recording of a White Scar training accident.

Does anyone create any fluff or background for their army? Anybody have an examples to share?

>if a model wasn't selling that well anyway, replacing its mold may never reach the top of their priority list.

;__;

I wanted to buy some Death Korps Grenadiers to kitbash with Skitarii and use as Survivors of the Dark Age militia grenadiers. I'll hold off and see if they reappear but sounds like I might have to risk giving chinaman my money instead and praying they're half decent.

>Dudes on fire
>Truck just drives around him

Life is cheap in China clearly.

Just like their goods.

China lacks Good Samaritan laws. So if you try to help someone you might get sued into oblivion by them regardless of the outcome. That's why people would rather not get involved unfortunately.

Do motorcycles just explode on the regular? I drive a car so I'm not familiar with them.

Here's a conciliatory Ahriman for being off-topic.

My custodes were the first of their kind created by Emperor who were more powerful than other custodes but they had too much free will so the Emperor ordered them destroyed. They escaped but were still loyal to the Emperor so they continued to serve the Imperium from the shadows. They were present during a lot of the major events during the Heresy but they were masters of stealth and always sneaked away after completing their mission so they don't appear in any records. They even managed to infiltrate onto the Vengeful Spirit during the Siege and helped the Emperor defeat Horus. With his dying breath the Emperor said he loved them. Since then they've been fighting a secret war against Chaos all by themselves.

RIP Dreadnought Drop Pods, just thinking abiut all those Leviathans left walking breaks my heart

I don't think that's a normal thing, Tzeentch. It must be a Chinese thing.

No, it's not normal for motorcycles to explode into flame after bumping into another vehicle.

Chinese domestic products clearly have no safety requirements.

His special ability was that he was more powerful than his peers in the Custodes academy?

The fuel tank appears to be both too easy to break and falls directly on top of the hot engine.

I have the two-post Genetor background that I'm quite proud of and I'll bet everyone is sick of reading, and I'm toying with some ideas for Word Bearers once the Genetor 4k list is done.

Thinking a chapter that used to really go for the Hearts and Minds thing back during the Crusade, to the point of recruiting them to fight any hostiles remaining on the planet (which obviously didn't endear them to the less unscrupulous types like the Salamanders, or preserve loyalty as long as the other Word Bearers, but did greatly save on Astartes casualties). When the Heresy broke out, they travelled back to a few of the worlds recently liberated and raised a great Cultist host, which spent the Shadow Crusade being a massive nuisance and turning as many neutral planets as possible with shows of power and numbers.

When actually called upon to fight, the Astartes prefer to remain inside their war machines, sending hordes of infantry to weaken the enemy while pounding them with heavier firepower in a manner borrowed from Perturabo's Corpse Grinders.

Their Gal Vorbak are not committed originally, instead bursting into the midst of the beleaguered enemies in blazes of psychic force to force breaches where needed, often by sheer terror.

(If you haven't noticed, I really like hordes supported by dakka and big boys, my Reductor fight the same way. Not I just need some army and leader names, but they can wait.)

Coldsteel the Custodes novel when, given BL's current quality of writing it should be right up their alley

>Chinese domestic products clearly have no safety requirements.
'Old on nows! Yooz sayin' da Chineyz are Orks?

>Hordes of infantry
>Shitty equipment that breaks down, but cheap to produce
>Steal and loot everything
A bit.

What about Ra?

Tfw korean war makes more sense couched as imperial guard defending against a WAAAAGH

It makes total sense now. Pic related. Squig eatin'.

Brits seem to do that a lot, too, look at Rourke's Drift.

The "Things are pretty sticky here" not being translated from Britspeak to "Oh fuck, oh fuck, out of ammo entirely and there's still thousands of the buggers" during the Korean War and thus resulting in the British not being reinforced and getting overrun sounds exactly like a grimdark IG mishap, too.

check out the anvil industry regiments line, they might have something for your kitbashing

Fuck leviathans.

>Coldsteel was made by blood_skull_boi84
>Ra is Khorne's OC
>That makes Slaanesh khaoskid663

That fits remarkably well

...

Thanks, I will.

I mean, you're right there, but people seem to like them a lot, so if they want to have a whole bunch more points tied up in vehicles that I can tarpit or Haywire they can feel free. Although in the batreps I watch they always seem to make an irritating number of 4++ saves, I will admit.

Only time I get annoyed with Astartes is when the local cheeselord brings out his Phosphex Mortar/Double Pod Levi/2*10 Rhinovets and Mortis Dread escorting Spartan list, and even then just because it's so generic and boring. Seriously, he deploys three boxes and five eggs, plus a pair of guns, and it would be the exact same list with any other legion.

Yes and I'm trying to align it with the Alpha Legion events of Paramar.

That sounds pretty shit to face. I think I'm lucky with my local meta, there's no-one that plays anything massively WAAC. I mean there are still a few BAC/BOP plastic players but the majority have gone and created armies that fit well with their Legion's fluff and playstyle.

Not many people really play him, he normally just plays 40k with his SM/GK/Custodes/Guilliman mashup list that looks like a random pile of ass even when painted. Most of us just ignore him, since we tend to prefer buildan, fluffan, paintan and convertan to fightan anyway.

Victoria Miniatures, too (they don't only make female troopers).

The Chinese learned to be more careful after that initial wave and ended up fighting un-orklike. That's why everything bogged down for the last couple of years. Over time they've come to look more like the Imperium rather than the orks - overcrowded, cultish in their devotion, full of expendable people, able to equip them with lots and lots of functional but cheap stuff...

>post random link and fabricate some paper thin Horus Heresy connection
>Mexican grave is like the World Eaters XD
>Chinese car crash is totally White Scars :DDDDDDDD!
It's time to stop. I think it's the same one guy doing it.

You'd rather we let the thread rot?

ded game since 8th ed.

Let the General burn.

What are your favorite sources of anti-AV14 weapons?

Javelins get you a TL, outflanking shot for 65 points. That gets you around flare shields.
Heavy Support Marines w/ Lascannons: 47 points/ea for five, 43.5 points/ea for ten.
Predator w/ Lascannon sponsons (and nothing else): 57.5 pts per lascannon.
Land Raider Proteus w/ hull lascannon upgrade: 70 pts per TL lascannon (of which you get three).
Vindicator laser destroyer: 130 pts for a TL ordnance shot that can fire 2 or even 3 shots if you don't move and accept the risk of taking damage.

Normally missile launcher Javelins are better, but not against AV14.

>they had too much free will so the Emperor ordered them destroyed. They escaped but were still loyal to the Emperor
That's a good tragic set up right there. Ordered destroyed because you have too much free will, but not enough free will to betray the Emperor even after he orders your destruction. Eternally enslaved to an Imperium you know you should hate but can't do anything but love.

This must be how addicts feel.

It's a quasi-holiday in the US. (The holiday's tomorrow, but since it's on a Tuesday a lot of people are taking Monday off.)

/hhg/, what do you guys do job-wise? What other hobbies do you have besides painting expensive resin?

what happened to fulgrim/slaanesh user?

he got banned for going on multiple autismic rampages

Ded game let the genral burn :DDD

FUCK IT! This Is Warhammer High General /WhHG/ Until Angelus Is Released.

Newly renamed for lewdhammer high.

>What other hobbies do you have besides painting expensive resin?
Assembling expensive resin.
Assembling/painting expensive plastic.
Assembling/painting metal.
Yelling at retarded online game teammates through a monitor.

More lewdhammer high pics.

Time to paint 21 more Sisters.

Shit.

Got any of Sang?

Personal Trainer and Real Estate Assistant while I prep for medschool.

I lift, read, work on cars, cosplay, and wade through gratuitous amounts of anime/manga.

This isn't even that expensive of a hobby. My wife spends more on dresses and shit.

Have there been any confirmed details about Sang? While listening in on a conversation with a GW manager, I heard that the head is going to be switchable (face or helmet) and the weapons too (blade or bolter). He also said it looked really good.

Any chance GW employees might be on the up and up about FW figures or should I not bother getting my hopes up?

Last time I checked, the warrior doesn't have iron hands.

Checkmate decimators.

A GW manager talking about FW? Sounds iffy to me.

But first you'll remove all that extra plastic on the bolters and hair pieces, r-right?

Oh of course. They all get routinely cleaned before painting

Oh, good. You had me worried there, user.

I work as an illustrator and game artist. Other hobbies are sport related.

Structural engineer. Lately in California that means I work too many hours to hobby. It's just as well as I have a kid now; definitely no hobby time anymore, but before the kid I worked all the time so it wasn't any better. Life sucks. I need another earthquake - that's when we have fun. Here's Christchurch, NZ in 2011 after an aftershock four months after the big one. If you're surrounded by brick buildings, run indoors. Better odds than on the sidewalk.

I also like autocross, mixing cocktails, military history, and taking pictures of birds.

Doubtful, GW and FW are kept pretty seperate, its unlikely FW will be showing off secret sneak peaks to GW managers.

Also, why would Sang have a bolter option? Maybe you've accidental discovered he's coming to 40k lol

What's all this shit about Sanguinius? He's ded in 40k, and his FW model is still miles away. Dorn will come first.

I drink Belgian specialty beers and smoke longfillers as a hobby.
I am a sales rep/account manager with a fancy car in daily life.

The recent HH plastics have been kind of a cross-over though, with the FW designers doing the models which were then casted in plastics. Same goes for Blood Bowl.

Ahriman was made by the same dude doing the resin Thousand Sons range for FW.

I really doubt a GW employee know anything about FW releases. Hell, I always know more then my local GW manager, and I just read about the open days.

Sanguinius with a helmet would be awesome though. Hopefully a spear option also.

>alternate Primarch heads
Confirmed for fake.

Not yet done, but getting there. A Iron Warriors tactical squad and the Siege Breaker and Warsmith.

Teacher. I also do freelance editorial work for business reports and the like.
Other hobbies besides HH, Infinity and AoS are vidya (though far less than it used to be), physical training, cooking and collecting bdsm gear.

>collecting bdsm gear

Do you play Emp's children?

8th is shit, people just haven't realised it yet. Every thread there are more and more voices against 8th. Some things in 7th like the psychic phase were a mess but changing it to babbys first wargame wasn't the way to go. As some user previously said, instead of taking a little off the top they just shaved everything off and said "looks good".

8th is pretty bland, even though it has good core rules. Losing vehicle facings is a dumbing down, even though I like vehicles being more survivable. Movement stat isn't bad either. However HQs not being able to join squads and the way stuff is "rebalanced" is just awkward.

That said, I hate the way the game has become bland as fuck. My Renegades & Heretics army list lost all its special flavour and quirky rules that made it unique. Fug man.

>Job
Customer service

>Other hobbies
rugby
vidya
just started brewing beer
buying weird shit
considering DnD but my first experience was crap and I ceebs finding another group

>Renegades & Heretics
I think I remember you from an old thread, do you also collect Son's of Horus?

World Eaters and Custodes, actually.
Though I'm not sure if that's helping my case here.

I'm pissed that chapter tactics/legion rules and hq joining units are gone, but other than that it's fine. I honestly enjoy it a lot more than 7th edition though and the wrapped up all the factions into mega-codices is something I have wanted forever.

Nah, I'm a bitterboy and a smurf-fag.

security guard (glorified fire warden) and the vidya

we're talking pillarstodes and gladiator themed WE right?

Those of you with a keen memory from last week will remember that I was taking Magnus and his guard to Warhammer World for a 2v2. The game has since come and gone so I will provide a breakdown of the key things that happened soon, aided by some pictures. Pictured here is the force I took.

>that list

fucking brutal

K-k-knight user-kun is that you

That is NOT a friendly list. Woah.

>implying we aren't in end times and Dante and sanguinius won't fuse like Sigmar and Franz
I AM PRINCE AND EMPEROR

I wont bore you with the details of deployment but long story short, I ended up having to deploy all my stuff with no reserves owing to facing down a LOT of enemy infantry. Alpha Legion Leviathan in drop pod landed and melta'd my vindicator turn 1. All fire was directed at it whilst Magnus probed one of the enemy tac squad blob with attached Librarian with void shield harness o_O

...

Did he really bring print outs of scananon's work to warhammer world?

If you can see the 4 Deathshroud standing around on their own, thats because Enemy Mortarion Shadowed forward to try and charge the Night Lords lascannons on the roof.

No word of a lie, Magnus blew him up in ONE psychic phase using a s9 life leech and a sD smite. At this point I felt disgusting and vowed never to take biomancy on him ever again.

After this red asshole was done killing Morty he turned around to deal with the Leviathan but the killing blow was delivered by a chainfist terminator.

It wasn't biomancy that was the problem there.

that's just fucking savage
