This Plog is to motivate me to build and paint numerous models I have in my collection. Firstly, why now? Well for me the hobby started when I got copies of ‘Space Marine’, ‘Codex Titanicus’ and a couple of sets of ‘Battle Titans’ 25+ years ago. How I loved the setting and narrative, brother against brother (and purging the filthy Xeno). The second edition rules built on this, even if the fluff moved to 40K and the titan creation rules dumbed it down a bit. I hated the third edition rules. All the time I played Epic, I wished for Horus Heresy in 32mm. A few years ago, the Librarians at Forge World heard my suffering and released the Horus Heresy books and models. Admittedly I think it lost something on the reboot, but I still said “yes please”, flung too much money at my computer screen, and bought a large selection of infantry. Then kids and work then got in the way, so they have lived in my loft for the last couple of years. With the release of the Warlord Titan my interest is back and I have embarked on this, a very ambitious project, to build several legion forces and supporting arms of Imperial and Traitor forces. The list below is all the models I have at my disposal for the project so far: House Makabius Traitor Knight household indentured to the Death Guard, consist of: - Knight Acheron - Knight lancer - Knight Paladin - Knight Paladin - Knight Errant - Knight Crusader - Knight Prophyrion Legion I – Space Wolves This will be made from a mix of mkiii and mkIV plastic infantry. If and when mkII come out, these will be added then. - Russ - Preator - Legion Tactical Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 19 Tactical Marines) - Legion Tactical Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 19 Tactical Marines) - Breacher Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 7 Breachers with bolters, 2 Breachers with melta guns) - Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 9 marines with melta guns) - Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-plasma, 9 marines with plasma guns) - Contemptor talon (1 Contemptor with Melta and fist, 2 Contemptors with assault cannon and fist) - Cataphractii Terminator Squad (1 Sergeant with Power sword and combi-bolter, 9 marines weapon fits to be decided) - Legion Heavy Support Squad (1 Sergeant with missile launcher, 4 Marines with missile launchers) - Three drop pods. Legion XIV - Death Guard These are my main legion. This is a mainly resin force and has first dibs on the best toys that Forge World and Games Workshop release. While my favourite, these will be worked on in parallel to the other forces as I want to get them right. The Marines are mostly MKIII, with MKII and a few MKIVs included. I will get a resin Death Guard Contemptor in due course. · Preator · Chaplian · Legion Tactical Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 19 Tactical Marines) · Legion Tactical Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 19 Tactical Marines) · Breacher Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 7 Breachers with bolters, 2 Breachers with melta guns) · Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 9 marines with melta guns) · Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-flamer, 9 marines with flamers) · Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-plasma, 9 marines with volkite Chargers) · Legion Heavy Support Squad (1 Sergeant with missile launcher, 4 Marines with missile launchers) · Legion Heavy Support Squad (1 Sergeant with auto-cannon, 9 Marines with auto-cannons) · Cataphractii Terminator Squad (1 Sergeant with Power sword and combi-bolter, 9 marines weapon fits to be decided) · Contemptor talon (1 Contemptor with Melta and fist, 1 Contemptor with assault cannon and fist) · Rapier battery (3 Rapier platforms with laser destroyers) · Leviathan talon (1 Leviathan with dual claws, 1 Leviathan with claw and drill) · Vindicator · Typhon · Avenger Legion XX – Alpha Legion This is just for kicks. I love the blue/green colour scheme for this legion. This will be mainly plastics with a few bits of resin thrown in. I’m not planning to give these terminators as yet. I will get a resin Alpha Legion Contemptor in due course but at the moment I can’t see this ever approaching the size of my other legion forces, but you never know until paint hits. · Legion Tactical Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 19 Tactical Marines) · Legion Tactical Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 19 Tactical Marines) - 10 Marine Breacher Squad with Phobos Pattern Landraider. · Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-melta, 4 marines with melta guns) · Legion Tactical Support Squad (1 Sergeant with Combi-plasma, 4 marines with plasma guns) - 10 marine Legion Tactical Support Squad with Volkites - Contemptor talon (1 Contemptor with assault Cannon) - Legion Heavy Support Squad (1 Sergeant with missile launcher, 4 Marines with missile launchers) - Legion Heavy Support Squad with 5 marines with volkite culverins - Legion Heavy Support Squad with 5 marines with Autocannons Legio Tempestus Members of the Triad Ferrum of Mars. They are one of the three original Titan Legions. · Reaver Titan with Power fist, triple barrelled laser destructor, and apocalypse launcher · Warlord Titan with two bellicose volcano cannons and two triple barrelled laser destructors. Legio Gryphonicus My original Titan legion consisting of a single Lucius Pattern Warhound. This will not be expanded for the foreseeable future. Legio Mortis Warlord Titan Adeptus Mechanicus Infantry support for Legio Tempestus which will be clad in the red livery of Mars. - 2 x 10 man Skitarii Vanguard squad - 1 x 10 man Skitarii rangers squad - 2 x dune crawlers - Tech preist - Castellan Maniple (2 robots and a tech priest handler) - Magos Dominus - 3 x Castellax battle automata - 3 x Thallax - 10 tech Thralls with Las-locks - Krios - Triaros - Ordinatus Ulator House Terryn My first four stock knights are being painted as house Terryn. · Knight Paladin · Knight Errant · Knight (variable load out) · Knight (variable load out) Note: This thread will be mainly about the Heresy, but I will shoe horn in my other imperial forces (40K Space Marines and Imperial Guard) from time to time.
