Fuck the living.
Fuck the dead.
Black for life.

So Iron Circle look fantastic, but there's no fluffy way to field them in a pre-heresy detachment, right? Since they come from Pert's post-Phall paranoia?

Putting together Calth marines and having to cut and reposition every single arm to properly modl bolt pistols and FREE Chainaxes.

>>46844344
He's got it backwards, Guilliman incorporated Moritats after Corax beat him repeatedly in wargames using Suicide Moritats.

I hear he also gave deepstriking squads combi-plasmas which is why it's now against the Codex Astartes.

FWs stupid pricing on it means that those filthy chinamen can charge like $40 more for it than the comparable spartan.

It's still less than 155 britbongs, now isn't it? So buy the fucking pod and be happy. Or buy the spartans and whine some more about it on the internet. I'm dying to hear about how awful it is to field two spartans.

People give GW shit for giving new units better rules to promote sales, but nobody says it about FW. If the regular dread wasn't pointless already, the new 10pts. more for vastly superior "shitty contemptor" has buried the boxnought for good. The Spartan is barely bigger than the Phobos and packs more guns, but can transport 150% more dudes. Not much point in fielding Predators when the Sicaran is so much better. Indomitus TDA is the shittiest suit hands down. Dreadclaws can be bought as Fast, but drop pods are limited to RoWs.

I thought we all were aware of fielding "better than yours" minis was FW's sole means of making money. That's why it was banned for long.

There is a (1/6)+(5/36) = 30% chance of you throwing it and actually DOING NOTHING, given how the effect only activates once it kills a model.
Even worse of a chance if a model with an invuln manages to stop the trident. Just imagine you throw the terrible trident of doom and pic related happens.

>>46845952
Iron Warriors & Death Guard
I know, not the best legions to be. Nobody likes us :'(

>>46845630
Don't know. Either terminator legion specific get a base points discount and get reduced to 4 Termies base (see Deathshroud and old Justaerin), or, EASIER, we get 12-16 transport variants LRs.

>>46845930
Don't forget AV12 side and rear. And not 24" range in the case of the BA AC Predator.

Make regular LR 12 like it was in 5e codex. Make Prometheus (already seen in FW's HH books) an option with an even larger capacity (just like how crusader has a larger capacity thanks to removing laser generators) and give it the option for augury web for reduced capacity, like the Proteus.

Artificer armors are specially made suits of exceptional quality. Thus it stands to reason that a number of advances that would become standardized in future marks would have first been seen in suits of Artificer Armor.

Also I've recently realized just how much I like MkVII torsos and appreciate the decorative possibilities in the chest piece.

>>46846170
Silly anon, Salamanders are simply white folks with radiation blackface, like >>46846270 says.

>75 points base
The fact that predators are 75 points base is pretty big even with the most expensive main gun they are still cheaper than a naked sicaran. I would prefer the more versatile option, plus I don't care for rending unless it is like 40 shots or like 20 guys in CC with rending.

I actually have no problem with Perturabo's decimation fluff and I think it is within character.

I don't really understand why it's become one of our biggest memes desu.

>>46852962
>it has been confirmed
[citation needed]
this is the first I've heard of that

Question,
i got some DKoK Thudd gun mortars, would anybody object using them as Rapier battery Thuddguns? (provided with proper IW crew ofcourse)

There's no doubt that /tg/ loves Perturabo.

but what do you guys think of his portrayal in Angel Exterminatus? i personally love how he pounds fulgrims pretty boipucci twice.

>>46853273
Angel Exterminatus was an absolute crime against Perturabo. Credit goes to McNeil for his grand attempt to humanize the minds of the most mentally inhuman primarchs, but Occam's Razor applies here, as it always does in the mindset of the Iron Lord. Simplicity is the key, expedience the goal. His is a mind entirely composed of mathematical equations, looking at the world around him in angles and percentages, statistics and numbers. Emotion is unwelcome, an unfactorable variable, but it's always there, the ghost that haunts his finely tuned thoughts. He buried his dreams and his heart on Olympia's ridges, and willingly cut all ties and dived into Hell, because his Father asked him to. He murdered millions, because his father asked him to. He broke empires, shattered armies, and his Legion bore the most grievous wounds and losses, because his father asked him to. And he ignored the implications of it all, because his Father asked him to.

Do you honestly believe none of this ground into his long lost humanity, the empty core of his being that he cut out, because his Father asked him to?

He is War-Broken. We're talking about God-Level traumatic mental disorder here. Perturabo can't control his emotions at times. He stares out at nothingness, and speaks to his past. One moment, he's unreachable, and the next he's ripping your head off because you brought him bad news. He can become utterly lost in fine details, both in crafting weaponry, and tearing down citadels. It calms him, returns his mind back to the emotionless numbers that represent hundreds of thousands of his sons dying. The further detached he became from reality, the further he tried to hide from the horror he was crafting, the worse his emotions got.

And Perturabo still buried that shit. He moved forward. He got the damn job done, and the next, and the next, with precise equations and algorithms.

I felt the book did a good job of showing a being that wanted to be an artist and a builder but instead was broken by war into a cold hard numbers wrecker man because of his loyalty(so yes i believe it). I also felt his turn to Chaos was explained well because of his frustration and jealously.

Problem is after comparing AE and Extermination I got the feeling those were two completely different characters. The AE Peturabo doesn't feel like the type to kill 10,000 of his own marines for the crime of being subpar.

>>46853289
>all this bullshit
This is how you see Perturabo, not how anyone else, and certainly not the writers of the lore see it.

Maybe you should write your own 50 shades of Perturabo if you're so upset

>>46846885
>friendly fire is motivating
>not riding the ironfire

>>46853289
I don't know it's just "because his father asked him to" - no-one could reach him, even on Olympia, though several tried.

Though it doesn't help that he was paranoid from the get-go, and after a while he worked out,on his own, that he was an artificially created being, and clearly wasn't made on Olympia - all that logic made him realise that, and it can't be good for your spirit, knowing you were made for a purpose, like a tool.

Also, logic + great intelligence and creativeness + paranoia is a bad, bad combination for those close to him - he can probably think of more and better ways and reasons to betray him than any of his men, even those that would try and do just that

You sir are a godsend and a lifesaver. I salute you. You've given me the impetus to finish and drop the second volume of the limited edition of Visions of Heresy this week.

How fluff-breaking would it be to have a single Dreadclaw to transport my WE Cataphractii? I want to have my cake and eat it too by having my Cats, my Butchers, *and* my Contemptor-Mortis, but I can't take Cataphractii with a land raider and also have the dread, and footslogging is bad for obvious reasons. World Eaters are know for orbital assault, yea, but just one?

List looks like:
HQ:
Gahlan Surlak
Kharn w/ Gorechild

Troops:
Legion Tactical Squad x20, pistol and axe, Sergeant with AA and PF
Legion Tactical Squad x10, bolters

Elites:
Apothecary
Contemptor-Mortis with Kheres
Legion Terminator x5, 5x PF, 4x combi-plasma, Heavy Flamer
Red Butchers x5, 2x Power Axe for all, Devoured with Chainfist, Land Raider with Armored Ceramite

Fast Attack:
Anvillus-pattern Dreadclaw

Heavy:
Spartan with Ceramite, Flare Shield
Leviathan Siege Dreadnought, Ceramite, Grav-flux Bombard, Leviathan Siege Drill

What form of warfare did Iron Hands specialise in?

I have asked this before and people have said "mechanised." But the problem with that was... isn't everyone mechanised? Every game I have seen has had dudes in vehicles and armour support.

Heck even in the fluff it seems mechanised is pretty common. Blokes in transports with armoured support.

Could any Iron Hands players shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

>>46853705
Lunar warfare.

>>46853705
High intensity war-warfare.
Get in and break through,fast.

IW are about grinding down, IH about smashing the opponent fast and completely.

Both accept losses, but Ferrus apparently thought that brutal and quickly ending engagements are preferable to attrition war-fare.

They used a lot of tanks and fancy tech to deliver that punch directly.

>>46853832
I see. Will FW ever stat lunar bodies do you think?

>>46853705
Iron Hands had more mechanised elements and were better at using them.

Its like how every legion had siege elements, recon elements, destroyers etc but some were better at them.

Found one. I like the Fist back there, and the Dangle's helmet.

Just finished path of Heaven. Holy shit. This is without a doubt one of the very best HH Books ever. I'm going to drop a few spoilers for those so inclined, but you really should read it.

The Emperor created a Prototype Golden Throne inside a Warp Rift. Yesugei plugs himself into it and dies creating a Warp Path that sends the entire White Scar fleet to Terra.

Eidolon is the main villain, him and Mortarion. Mortarion is at near-Peturabo levels of suspicion by this point, even his trust in Horus is eroded considerably, and he suspects Typhon plans to backstab him

The Swordstorm is lost in a suicide attack on Mortarion's Flagship to allow the rest of the fleet to escape. Torghun is killed by Mortarion, who boards the ship to find the Khan.

At the very end, when the Khan's fleet arrives in the Sol System, they are intercepted by the Space Wolves. The Khan and Russ have an aweesome scene where a bloody and beaten Khan meets Russ.

‘You always were a pompous bastard,’ he said. ‘You come to my halls as a beggar and speak as if you owned them. Who else would dare it?’

The laughter subsided. Finally, he sheathed his blade. All across the bridge, bolters were lowered.

‘It would make me feel better to give you a fresh scar to remember me by,’ Russ said. ‘You might learn from it. But you look half dead already, and I have no wish to blunt my sword-edge on your scrawny neck.’

Arvida joins the Knights Errant, just as the Flesh Change is about to consume him.

Me and a friend are playing our first 30k and our first game of warhammer in quite a while so we are a bit rusty. Whats a good mission and setup to start with just to get going?

Man, Russ continues to be an utter cunt

>>46854641

The man lifted his arms slowly, showing he was unarmed.

‘This is the one?’ he asked. ‘The Prosperine sorcerer?’

‘I said, declare yourself.’

‘Khalid Hassan,’ said the man, peering past them at Arvida’s body. ‘Chosen of Malcador. I came out with the Wolves, for we had received auguries. Does he live?’

Naranbaatar kept the gauntlet raised. ‘He is one of ours. If even the Sigillite wishes him harm–’

‘Harm?’ asked Hassan. ‘Harm? No, my lords, you misunderstand this. He is sick – we know it. You cannot cure it. My master can help, though, and he wishes very much to. I do not think you know just what you have here. Believe me, we would not permit you to let him die.’

‘How did you get on the ship?’ asked Oskh.

‘That is my business. I would have done it openly, but you will appreciate the difficulties. If Lord Russ were to discover what you are keeping here...’

‘He will never do so.’

‘No, quite.’ Hassan lowered his arms. ‘Listen, you need do nothing now. There are more travelling with me, and they can help. It can all be done quietly, even if the Wolves circle you all the way to Terra. You will be taken to the Palace. The Sigillite will be waiting. He will speak to the Khan, all will be made clear then, but for now, just for now, do not obstruct this. Allow help to be given.’ Hassan placed his hands together. ‘There is no deception. We all wish for the same thing.’

Naranbaatar hesitated. The man before him was unshielded – his mind was open. Finally, he lowered his gauntlet.

‘His sickness is advanced. You say you can help?’

‘If you let us, but time is short.’

‘But what interest is this to you?’ interjected Oskh, his voice full of suspicion.

‘Because we have been waiting for him,’ said Hassan, looking past them at the unconscious Arvida, his expression close to reverence. ‘And now, at last, he is here.’

>>46854641

Jubal looked up at him. ‘There has not been the time to ask you, Khagan. You were on that place – Dark Glass. What was it?’

The Khan thought on that. Maybe only Yesugei really understood, and yet the machinery Jaghatai had witnessed in the lower shafts had told him much. It had surely all been part of the same project, the one that had taken his Father away from the Crusade, and that in time would have made the entire panoply of empire – the Navigators, the Legions, the warp engines of the Mechanicum, even the primarchs themselves – obsolete. No wonder it had been kept secret, a secrecy that had contributed so much to the years of suspicion and mistrust.

There had been betrayal before Horus, that much was clear. Perhaps the fruits of that were only now becoming evident.

‘It was a failure,’ the Khan said. ‘A dead end. We are left with what we see – our wars, our blades, our mutants. Our daemons.’

>>46854641
I thought the throne was built after the Siege upon his instructions, or at least modified to seat him, before that he was just kept in stasis.

But then I remember he's one of many immortals and got his power from the dark gods, and I permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will put on my nostalgia goggles and see its source. Where the crap has gone there will be nothing. Only oldfag will remain.

>>46854951

No-one writes Mortarion better than Wraight, in my opinion.

Mortarion knows he'd damning himself, but he's determined to keep himself and his legion pure.
What he had told Horus was true – he had kept the Legion pure. His warriors fought with their blades, bolters, fists and nothing more. There had not been a Librarius in the XIV Legion for a long time, and never would be again.

But what of Typhon? That element, at least, had eluded his control. Calas emerged ever more often in Mortarion’s fevered dreams, marching at the head of Legion detachments he barely recognised. There would have to be a reckoning with Typhon before the assault on Terra. The Legion had become too distributed, too caught up in the sprawl of the burning galaxy.

And so the order to bring the Khan to heel had been well made. It would be a work of glory, something to set aside the deeds of Fulgrim and Lorgar. Mortarion would march to Terra with the mantle of primarch-slayer, just as his Chemosian brother would.

Until then, the study continued, the immersion into the lore that both disgusted and fascinated him. If he noticed the degraded appearance of those about him, the gradual accumulation of grime and war-patina, he never spoke of it. Sickness ran through the mortal crews of the line battleships, making the echoing holds ring to the cries of the afflicted, and nothing was done.

I will comprehend, became the mantra, repeated into the deeps of the endless nights. This at least will not be denied me, not as the other things have.

To a certain degree, but you should look at the names of their named characters if you want more convincing.

Yeah if you ignore all the art and fluff where they wear all kinds of different armour, including MKIV and even MKVI, and the whole point about Horus pilfering more MKIV for his cronies - presumably Death Guard getting more of it as they were part of the initial group to openly turn.

MKII also suits IW far better than MKIII because reasons. DG have a case for using more MKIII since their tactical doctrine is shit and MKIII is based on Plague Marines anyway, but the best trooper armour is MKII and MKIV. Also, due to the atrocious attrition warfare these legions ran and the influx of new troops they would be much more inclined to have a huge mix of whatever was available with less uniformity.

MKIII is probable if they add more plastic kits though because it is more popular than any other heresy-era armour. MKV is possible but sounds weird. There's also been rumours of just more MKIV though so you better butter up your assholes like good little piggies and shell out for proper Forge World minis.

I wanted to post the dreaded Iron Warriors Beakie but couldn't find it right now. It's in the Visions of Heresy books at least, and it is beautiful. If you need a fluff justification, it was pilfered from dead Raven Guard after Isstvan.

If you don't like the static shitty leg poses in the Calth set that is perfectly fine and reasonable, but MKIV was the best and in many cases officers scrambled to get it because it sucked so much less than the earlier armours. The only time you'd prefer earlier marks is if you're some kind of loyalist.

>>46852890
>MkII kit

Don't know what to think, really.

Didn't the novel link in the Mega have epub downloads? They're all mobi, and I can't use them.

Seems a pretty good portrayal, matches what we know and gets the necessary slow, horrific fall of Mortarion and his legion


Is it weird that I kind of feel for Horus as the Heresy continues?
Two of his commanders are basically mad, another is little more than a weapon at this point; the one that started everything is more under the gods' command than Horus's, and was never the best general, while another is a contrary fuck who only obeys when he wishes and a third is reluctant and wracked with doubts and self-pity; the other two are prideful and self consumed, succumbing to paranoia, and they're his most reliable guys.

No wonder he started chatting to Ferrus's head

>>46856382
At least he died before seeing the Chaos Space Marine codex.

>>46856244

The plan for my DG was to build the initial blobs/heavy weapons off of new issue mkIV with B@C to represent the new accelerated recruits, and when I have more cash on hand get a bunch of upgrade sets and mkIII to use as my veterans

Did the Rubric happen during or after the heresy?

>>46856244
Oh of course you can justify any armour you want. After all, MkIV was supplied to all traitors (and for some reason I always picture it white, so it works for WE). But even though it can fit the whiteish DG, MkIII fits them best hands down. And MkII fits the IW best.

>>46856588
After.

>>46856588
After.

>>46856315
>>MkII with MkIII armour plates for legs and arms, torso fronts and helmets
So, MkIII, then? It is "MkII + armoured plates" after all.

>>46856483
Great minds think alike.
Except about going full traitor. I like all their special characters, but I can't always play Early Crusade, right?

>>46856658

>Not wanting to play max infiltrating Morturg's revenge reborn dusk raiders

Salamander, its like your not even trying

>>46856658
>>46856863

Full on traitors have their merits.

IW and WE have rather good reasons to go rogue.

I don't really know why Mortrarion chose to, though.

Except for good Horus dickings,maybe.

>>46856863
You misunderstood me, man. I want to play Morturg's infiltrating Dusk Raiders AND bring chapter master siege breaker Durak Rask along to do the Reaping.
Problem is, Crysos rightfully kills Durak on Istvaan 3.

>>46856897
A lack of confidence which lead to said dickings, and he saw Emps like his adoptive father.

>>46856944

I'm not really convinced that that's a good combo though

I guess you get MotL from Rask and his tank hunter in a squad + morturg warlord for the infiltrating, but losing out on Target priority is huge, its basically an AoE of Vhalens warlord trait.

>>46856957
Oh, thanks.

>>46857062
Rylanor+ Paragon of Glory Fulgrim with Phoenix Termie retinue..

THATS a good traitor/loyalist combo.

>>46856944
It wasn't going to work for crunch reasons anyway, I think.

The guy with MotL needs to be the Warlord if you want to select a Rite of War. But the wording on MotL is notoriously vague so...

>>46854592
>He suspects Typhon is about to backstab him
My knowledge of the novels isn't the best, but hasn't this kinda already happened? What with the summoning Nurgle into the Warp-trapped fleet?

There's tons of non Anglo names eg that samurai in outcast dead so duck off and go wank over your black Templars whilst ignoring that the novels have black skinned Templars as well

>>46856352

>>46857457
That happens before the Siege of Terra, but we have not even reached the endpoint of the series yet. We're 90 novels away from reaching the end point.

>>46857457
They haven't reached that far into the heresy yet

>>46857727
It happened post-Heresy when the Flesh Change returned with a vengance.
>>46857680
How far are we? True midpoint or late midpoint?

>>46856635
What I said was a kit that comes with complete MkII armour, with upgrade bits to slap on a MkIII helmet, torso front and plates on the legs and arms to make it a MkIII. Two armour marks in one kit.

>>46857831

to be honest according to the epilogue of a Thousand sons the flash change is a problem the moment they set step on the planet of sorcerors

>>46857831
Tbh with Black Libraries fucked release schedule and constant re-shuffling of the timeline we could be anywhere right now. White Scars only just reached terra in the latest book but to be fair the next book could be set on Isstvaan 3 for all we know. Probably another anthology of already released stories as well.

>>46857677
No the series will be 50 including anthologies
So 3-4 novels covering end of imperium secundus blood Angels getting to terra what salamanders do - including that special land raider mentioned in the fluff - then 3-4 about fighting on the edge of the sol sector and how they end the ruinstorm and 3-4 anthologies

>>46857931
Original anon that asked here, the thing that confused me was they say they've started work on the rubric in the epilogue of a thousand sons, and that Magnus had been locked away on his own for months. But I always thought that the rubric occurred after the heresy, so I was confused as to why they would of started work so early, like at the beginning of the heresy.

I'm just going to go with the less 30k goodies, and more pants on head for Chaos and replace all 30k goodies with dinobots traitors the closer we get the end.
>>46857975
90 more novels seems likely though.

>>46857831
It's being changed
Even in index chaotica they have them finding the planet of sorcerers after the end of the heresy
The new fluff is they teleported there immediately after prospero and didn't do much there and the flesh change is starting already
Add to that theres no account of them fighting alongside Horus atm
The problem is they were written as loyal but tricked - even working against chaos at the start
It will take something major like the rubric to turn Magnus prime shard to active help chaos

>>46857975
I really want a book covering xana. I want to see endryd "forge-fister" haar fucking shit up, scoria taking over, and the xanthite mechanicum heading into the warp to start building dino-bots.

The main thing I hate about 30k is that you can't take power spears outside of specific units and you can't equip honour guards with character specific weapons. I will never get to field a group of Emperor's Children going full knight in shining armour using Phoenix Spears as lances.

>>46858464
You mean you don't get them sold as weapons?

There are bit-sellers selling stuff that sort of fits.

>wanting BL to possibly ruin them

>>46858484
No I mean that honour guards are only characters for the purposes of challenges. You can't give them Phoenix Spears or Power Glaives. Also the Crusade army list specifically mentions that power weapons only include swords, axes, and mauls.

>>46858524
Why not?

I thought any power fist can be replaced witha phoenix spear.

Thats how a lowly sargeant gets one too.

>>46858575
Yes but Honour Guards are only characters for the purposes of challenges. Don't remember where it is stated but I have seen the snippet FAQing that several times. In other words honour guards can't trade the fist for a spear.

>>46858464
>I will never get to field a group of Emperor's Children going full knight in shining armour using Phoenix Spears as lances.
You mean Palatine blades?

>>46857677
>>46857680
How fucking far into the series are we now? Have they stated how long it will be or will they just keep making new ones until it stops selling and just drop it, ensuring we never reach the end either way?

>>46858618
I would like that sourced.

Sounds like bogus to me.

At least I hope.

>>46845618
the original serrated sun chapter went into the EoT with 300 marines and a bunch of mortals and came back with 100 gal vorbak and no mortals.

>>46858623
Palatine blades don't ride bikes or jetbikes and real knights don't fight on foot.

>>46858639
I've honestly never remembered where it is from but I have seen the snippet posted several times in the past.

>>46858629
>it, ensuring we never reach the end either way?
Well since Mr. Bones is merciful and not spiteful like Black Library this series will end. They may retcon the Heresy lasting seven years to justify the novel length, but they will have to get closer to the end to drum up interest. I would say we're in the midpoint of the middle of the Heresy.

>>46845435
that hasn't always been the case.

in 4th ed, everything was overcosted and underperforming. the only model from that era that i remember being annoying was the tau remora, and only because of how the flyer rules and target priority were a fucking pain in the ass for a cheap unit.

>>46857171
>>46857062
I think the MotL can opt to not be the warlord, and Morturg's infiltration greatly helps to lug those squads around on The Reaping. And I like Rask being both a Siege Breaker (Phosphex Medusas!) and a chapter master, but to be desu I don't really know how to use him either. Buffs shooting but isn't shooty himself, what gives?

>>46858945
He will. In the grimdark future there is only novels without end. Seriously. If we were to write Lorgar's Emperor worshipping book and all 60,000 volumes of the Book of Lorgar we'd still not see the end of this series.
>>46858986
Thanks, I try my best.

>>46858699
The closes you can get is a Praetor with a phoenix spear leading a Command Squad with charnabal sabres, all of them mounted on jetbikes.
You want a full jetbike squad with AP2 weapons at initiative? Wait for the White Scar special units :^)
Oh, and knights did fight on foot. A later soldier type, the dragoon, was pretty much mounted infantry, as opposed to cavalry.

>>46858979
>implying cant afford a mount
>implying its not a tactical choice
Open a history book, knights often chose to fight dismounted, like at Bremule or Crecy

Ferrus Magnus did nothing wrong.

>>46859176
Of course but I don't see why "I'm better" the legion would give a fuck. Especially when EC preferred to use jetbikes at times so they could pretend to be knights.

Is there any way to make a Praetor a psyker? Or for non Word Bearer psykers to take Daemonology?

So I'm thinking of adding some Blight Drones to my Word Bearer army (1HS slot sucks..).

As a vehicle, they are Daemons, so they get a 5+ invulnerable save?
And they have Daemonic Resilience, which gives 4+ Feel no Pain. How does FnP work on a vehicle? Does it work against everything but D weapons?

>>46859883
WB Praetors can take Burning Lore. Nothing outside of WB can take Daemonology (at this stage of the heresy anyway, likely sometime in the future that will change).

>>46859883
Probably until 1Ksons come out, there's no way for a psychic praetor unless you do what>>46859934 said.

Apparently phoenix spears can now only be given to characters.
