Welcome to the Legiones Astartes If you are reading this circa 2024 then there's a decent chance you bought the core boxset and have the following models: - 2x Legion Command Squads - 8x Tactical Legionaries Squads - 2x Legion Terminators Squads - 2x Assault Marines Squads - 2x Support Legionaries with Plasma Guns Squads - 2x Support Legionaries with Missile Launchers Squads - 4x Contemptor Dreadnoughts - 2x Sicaran Tanks - 3x Predator Tanks But what can you do with all these miniatures? Models are organized into detachments or used to upgrade detachments. The models, when organized into detachments give you the following: - 2x Legion Command Squads - 2x Legion Tactical Detachments - 1x Legion Terminator Upgrade - 1x Assault Marine Upgrade - 1x Plasma Support Upgrade - 1x Heavy Support with Missile Launchers Upgrade - 1x Legion Dreadnought Talon - 1x Legion Predator Squadron - 1x Legion Sicarus Squadron Note how some of those are Upgrades. The way the sprue is cut, those options don't have enough models to make their own Detachment. For example, a Legion Tactical Detachment consists of 4 Tactical Marine models and a Legion Plasma Support Detachment consists of 4 Plasma Marine models. A Legion Tactical Detachment can be upgraded to include 2 Legion Plasma Marine models. Detachments are organized into formations, you cannot just make a list out of the units you like. The core box models are (according to Designer Commentary) meant to be used as an introductory, mixed formation - Legion Astranii Class Augmented Spearhead - to expose players to different unit types, rules, and interactions. The formation is not meant for matched play without your opponents permission. There are enough detachments to build all the compulsory detachments for two Legion Astranii Class Augmented Spearhead. The optional detachments and upgrades can be distributed to balance out points. Here are examples: Army 1 Army 2 Each army list has the same basic layout. You get to play with all the infantry options, you get one set of smaller tanks and one set of larger tanks, and you get one of the walkers.You could play around with the upgrades, put all the Auxilia upgrades into one list and then put both sets of walkers in the other list; you’ve got options. Add a Warhound to both lists to experiment with titans. They may skew the gameplay experience, being about 40% of the points per side at this point. But what if you want to do matched play, or off-loaded the Solar Auxilia, or vice-versa, on-loaded the Astartes? The good news is that the core box does give such a matched play legal combination; the ubiquitous Legion Demi-Company. The Legion Demi-Company requires 1 Headquarters, 2 Core, and 1 Support detachments. This leaves the following leftovers: - 1x Legion Terminator Upgrade - 1x Assault Marine Upgrade - 1x Plasma Support Upgrade - 1x Heavy Support with Missile Launchers Upgrade - 1x Legion Predator Squadron - 1x Legion Sicarus Squadron The upgrades can be attached to the Legion Tactical Detachments. Each Legion Tactical Detachment can include one of each upgrade. You don’t have multiples of either (or they could be their own Detachment) so you can put your upgrades wherever you’d like. You might want to put the missile launchers with one detachment to sit on a backfield objective and use their longer range to affect the battle and make your other detachment a big hammer. At this point feel free to experiment! What about the tanks? Well, that’s the bad news. Legion Demi-companies can only take one battle tank detachment; you’re either leaving the Sicarans or the Predators out. The other option would be adding a Legion Armoured Company to your list. The Legion Armoured Company would put your tanks in their own, separate formation. Unfortunately, there’s more bad news. The compulsory detachments for it are two battle tank detachments and a heavy armour detachment. You’ll have to pick up a Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron box to do it. That’s not a bad addition to your Astartes, but it is an addition. Assuming you do, your list would look something like this: Congratulations, you now have enough points to finish out a 1,000 point list with 30% from another faction! Fill those remaining 298 points with Solar Auxilia from the core box. Here’s one way to do it with a Solar Auxilia Sub-Cohort: That gets you to 999 points. Or, if you and your opponent are okay with bending the rules, kick it up to 1,032 points with one of the Warhound Titans from the core box.

During the Psychic Awakening timeframe, Warhammer Community released a short story by Andy Clark titled Consequences: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/04/20/psychic-awakening-consequences/ Reading both the story and the community reaction to it inspired me to create a 1-page comic, which I've since updated slightly: Posting here for posterity and for hopefully the ease of searching, in case you want to forward it to your Warhammer WhatsApp groups. Thanks for reading.

Greetings from the Imperium Resurgent! We are starting a new project, set in a (very) alternate 30k universe, and by very, we mean very. Non-Chaos rebellions against the Emperor, a fallen lord of Terra, thousands of years of lasting peace and prosperity, the board is set, but before we can move onto that, we need legions! We already have most of our positions taken, including all of those legions who fall to chaos, but we still have three legions that need filling. Importantly, these three legions will be part of the Great Secession. This means that they rebel against the Emperor, but do not fall to Chaos, in effect fighting for the Imperium to dispose the Emperor after He attempts to purge a loyal legion and nearly succeeds in wiping out another. If you write one of these legions, you need to figure out why they turn against the Emperor and side with their brothers instead. Are they just, fighting against a cruel tyrant? Are they caught up in the war and forced to pick a side but would have rather stayed neutral? Are they simply power hungry and see the Secessionist cause as a way to claim more power? It is important to note, regardless of why they turn, the Imperium becomes a legitimately peaceful place after this war, they do not stagnate. Chaos is an unknown factor (for now) and xenos threats are few and far between. This means if you write a legion who are outright hostile, they may struggle to fit with the greater universe as the Imperium largely de-militarizes post-Scouring. It is also worth thinking about their ‘peacetime roles’, what will the legion do when there is no Great Crusade or eternal war? We have a legion who ensures the Agri-worlds of the galaxy run smoothly, another who handles the Assassinorum, one who hunts down rogue Psykers, another who handles important infrastructure construction and another who patrols the galaxy for any xenos threats popping up. Non-military ideas would be preferable, though it’s not required. We already have both our psyker legion and our twin legion, so please do not write a twin primarch or a primarch with any active psychic powers (passive powers are still ok, depending on what they are clearly). Perpetual Primarchs are also something that will be looked at very critically, as the Emperor is not going to be bringing his enemies back to life like he did with Vulkan. Slots available are: IV, VIII and X We have a list of the current legions here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11aUGtpTBZo9zS6Xh2qwgFje3Ft78TF3su9v6LqsMLBg/edit?usp=sharing So if you are interested, please fill in the below template and send it to whoever posted this announcement! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xLdf1i61siTRaP2Xn3R3FA4ThTS9ZlNh2I_a_pY7aYI/edit?usp=sharing Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour!

Hi there fellow frater, I picked these up at Christmas and finally built them this morning. Each one took around 15 mins to assemble. Only trouble I had was the sword dudes arm broke at the insert so I had to drill the insert out and then cut a sliver off the sword arm to join it to the pauldron. I’ve not glued the backpacks or the marines that have guns going over their Aquila as I want to try and paint these to the best of my ability. Also the Captain hasn’t been glued together either. I’m not a fan of sub assemblies as I get mixed up where bits go so try not to do it if I can help it. I’ll prime them tomorrow and maybe basecoat them too. Not sure what chapter I’m going but more than likely it’ll be Ultramarines as they are my favourite chapter.
