Hi all. New to HH 2.0, played a small game or two of 1.0 but long-time 3rd+ed 40K player, so familiar with the basics, if not the new intricacies of HH 2.0 like reactions, the various weapons, etc I love the pre-/early-Heresy EC look, the purple and gold. Don't care too much for the look of stuff later. I think my traitor army will be DG, but everyone should have a traitor and a loyalist army right? At least one of each. So I started looking at doing EC as loyalists, playing with lists and ideas. The basic concept is a loyalist group that presumably was off far away when Istvaan went down, so weren't part of the corruption or culling. Find out about rebellion, are horrified, vow to make the traitors, especially the turncoat EC, pay. So, they will fight dirty, bringing in things like destroyers, snipers, etc. and riskier weapons like plasma as well as the more traditional duels. Rules-wise, maybe AL would be a better fit for the them, but...purple and gold, and the initiative boost could be fun. I figure the special units, including Phoenix Guard, Palantines probably closer to Fulgrim/much more likely to be corrupted/purged, so I avoided those. I started as a Pride of the Legion list, but didn't want that many terminators and Veterans get expensive, so tweaked more to just the Maru Skara angle, a very mobile strike force, focusing on finding and quickly ripping out traitors, especially leaders.
