Hello friends,
It is with some excitement that after weeks of assembling and painting I have my first game with my buddies in the Horus Heresy this week. We were amazed at how quickly our points went up and how easily we can play 2000 points. As big fans of the books and the story, we're happy and excited to finally be able to jump into the Horus Heresy, as it's a refreshing contrast to the increasingly combo-heavy and soullessly competitive current 40k. (At least in our gaming environment).
My opponents are Sons of Horus, Thousand Sons (both armies reinforced with parts of their respective 40k armies) and loyal White Scars.
Unfortunately, most of my order hasn't arrived yet: Originally, my idea was to play a massive Stone Gauntlet army, with multiple squads of Breachers and Phalanx Warders. Since these are still lost in the warp, the defenders of the second sphere on the ironclad "Defender of Oaths" under the command of Lord Marshall Demetrius have to fend off the waves of traitors alone. :)
C&C are very, very welcome :)
