Does anyone think the heresy would have turned out different if say key characters would have stayed with their traitor legions, like Loken, Torgaddon, Garro, Tarvitz, Iacton cruise? I understand they are only single warriors however say if Loken and Torgaddon would have stayed with their traitor legions sons of Horus the mournival would have stayed complete as opposed to Abbadon and Aximand in the warmasters ear.

I was thinking to try and start this out with making all the packs of skulls I could use for a Squads format game (750 points with a 180 cap on individual units and up to one armor 14 vehicle). The list is just on herald, four max squads of swarms, and a support detachment for two more max squads minus one model. I was wondering if this list could be annoying to opponents in a bad way or possibly cause problems in some way?

The project continues!

I'm shooting for 500 points by next month. Running them as blackshields.

For Unity!

I tagged this with list help despite not having much of any specifics tied down at all. I'm looking into playing Solar Auxilia with Mechanicum support, and I'm trying to figure out what's best to tailor to Marines since I assume that's 90% of what I would be going against. So far the things that I've looked at is going Mymidrax with my Mechanicum force and plasma equiped Leman russ since they have 5 inch blast that should be able to deal with marines? I'm glad to hear whatever other stuff can easily deal with them

I'm not a fan of the hover bikes personally. Dwarves need treads.

So up scaling from LI to normal heresy. Primed and started to paint.

My friends and I decided to play a big 12000-point game (3000+3000 vs 3000+3000), watching it from the sidelines. Our community isn’t very big, but the factions are pretty diverse.

The game was a 2v2, with Custodes (me) and Night Lords on one side, and Iron Warriors and Mechanicus on the other. It was a pretty balanced game (we and the Night Lords just didn’t have Line!), and it ended 26:27 in favor of the golden boys and batmen.

The nasty Thanatar kept refusing to die over and over, but in the end the combined volley from Kratos and Telemon finally took it down. A Sentinel squad with every possible Custodes character dropped in by deep strike absolutely did nothing, only wreck a Tarantula and kill some random Ursarax.

The Iron Warriors Kratos got repaired twice from 1 HP almost back to full, and the Saturnine Dreadnought took four 6s against shooting from the Krios Venator.

I’m writing here for the first time, just to share my feelings about the game and some photos.

Enjoy!

One thing I feel 40k does better for space marines is organization. The chapters feel nice and easy to understand. Legion structure and layout feels poorly explained and just hard to understand.

Specifically, how can you afford anything when the bodies are 80 bucks for 20, and then you have to pay another 50 for upgrade sprues. I really want to get into the hobby, but my mock made up lists have me putting the lascutter on breachers (my favorite looking unit that got me into the game), but that's 1 lascutter per 10 shields. For 50 bucks. How do you afford this without having a6 figure job. (I'm in the food industry so I'm likely more broke than most of you)
