‘Believe in gods again.’ Bluff? Bravado? Intent to dissemble or dissimulate? All of the above; doubtless. Such was the task – perhaps nature – of the Marines Mendicant. From his non-standard armour to the seemingly meaningless glyphs and logographs adorning his plate, everything about the pseudolegionary rang false. Regardless of his intent, the Golden Hands weren’t going to allow the Mendicant to escape this time. They had already assembled a formidable doc-ident on their target. Perhaps an Argent Herald – that much was suggested by armour-spoor – but the Hands didn’t put credence into that. No; more likely one of the orphan Firebreak. Such had been surmised when he used that blade of his to open up Brother Utigent – and then escape. Not before the rest of his clade had been killed, mind (so the Golden Hands noted proudly); and nor had the Mendicant escaped unharmed. He was hurt; bleeding. And irreparably so, judged the Hands, for they had employed Inquisitorial anti-coagulants. Chaem-magick that had taken the Stars and the Mendicant quite by surprise…

Greetings, I invite all of you to check out Cartographia Imperialis You can orbit the galaxy, toggle between the pre-Rift M41 era and Era Indomitus, and open a dossier on any world Terra, Cadia, Krieg, Macragge, the Eye of Terror, and dozens more each with its own record, timeline, and status. The reason I made this is because it seems dare I say the Imperium's own cartography is full of uncertainty. GW's maps disagree with each other across editions and there is no canonical coordinate system. So rather then pretend at certainty I took it upon myself to approximate the positions of the markers and worlds you see on this site. This was a massive undertaking, and I would GREATLY appreciate the input of people more knowledgeable in the lore than myself. If something here blatantly stands out as wrong please let me know! If nothing else it will be cool to see the community discuss various and ambiguous lore topics regarding the markers on this map! Best, A humble servitor

I don't think it's an unreasonable complaint; the helmet wings actually being separated from the sides of the helmet looks better. It's not a deal-breaker but it is disappointing.

I thought it was about releases like: They're named characters, but they are not Epic Heroes.

I think it’s intentional to fit in the increased height gorget. I don’t think it’s incorrect or even an issue

So just as an update, I did have that tutorial game last week with my friend, and it was fun! Not sure I really understood a lot of it, I really don't grasp how AP works. The fight phase was really fun though! We had 2 characters go toe to toe with each other, and seeing how that played out was actually really cool. Saw a couple of reactions being used, and they seemed really fun too. Saying that though, partly due to a couple of recent bills, and that my model backlog is already quite long, I won't be jumping into Horus Heresy just yet. I will be picking up the Core Rulebook and the Liber Mechanicum soon, and do some reading up on both. If GW decides to release more plastic Mechanicum and a battleforce to go with them in the future, I think there's a good chance I'll pick it up. I'll update this thread when I'm actually jumping into this. Thank you for all the advice you've given me so far.
