Where I am today (an Update and the War in the Webway))
I know I haven't been posting like I used to, as my mental health hasn't been all that awesome lately. A bunch of stuff I expected to occur in life went the opposite way.
So I built a little (finished my ODST Tempestus Aquilons), painted a little and withdrew into myself and haven't played a game of 40k or Kill Team in a while.
Recently, I've decided that I'm going to build the army I always wanted for years, but could never afford. Plus I listened to others who said it was dumb, or not competitive, or various other reasons not to build it.
I fell in love with the War of the Webway in the Horus Heresy novel Master of Mankind. It had Custodes, Fallen Knight Houses, Mechanicus, Titan Legions, the Emperor all fighting in the most bizarre locations possible against insurmountable odds. I absolutely loved it.
I've never played Horus Heresy and no one in my area plays either...
But. I thought it would an awesome 40k army.
So that's what I'm building.
Right now, I have absolutely no idea how to build that, but I did preorder the Legio Custodes Battle Group. 12 Custodian Guard, 1 Callidus Grav-tank, 1 Dreadnought, and 1 Shield-Captain, all for 255 bucks.
It sits around 900 points in 40k terms.
The Internet says I need Sisters of Silence, Assassins, an Ordos Xenos Inquisitor and other useful stuff.
I want to wedge in a Knight.
Is this a good idea? Probably not. I'm terrible at picking out color schemes. And will want to create an army that looks like it could have been in the War of the Webway, but is playable in 40k.
I've spent too much time researching whether this unit fought on Terra and if they survived into the current timeline...
(Thinking that I should maybe have a unit seconded to a Titan Legion, then I know that I'll never be able to duplicate the Legion Heraldry and then move on).
It's all a little obsessive. And probably not the best for me. So I'm asking for help.
Any suggestions on how to reasonably build this fever dream?
Colors, units, allies, anything you can fill in takes one more piece of anxiety away.
