Custodian Athiair Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ok basically i have deicded after soem help from a mate of mine to collect a Pre-Heresy Luna Wolves army lead by no other than Garviel Loken (it was either him or Torgadon but i love Loken) this is becuase i have little money and my planned guard army would just cost way tooooo much the other option was Iron Warriors but they have a tricky colour scheme now that point brings me neatly onto something i need to ask and that is what is the colour scheme for the Luna Wolves becuase i have heard that they are grey with white, also that they are whtie with black and as i have no idea which colour scheme they actually are i could do with some help i mean i alwaus saw them as frost white like what Horus wears as his ornate armour but the cover of Horus Rising says otherwise so does anyone have any ideas my second query is what kind of army should i go for i want to use the Tempus Fugative rules for Loken (and only him) becuase of his drop pod thing and with the release of Planetstrike (and me having a rather shooty Sallies army, but has it's attacking power) i was thinking of making them attacky eg. lots of drop pods and then i could use 4 Stratgem points on: Darken the Skies (Night Fighting, and -1 Ld to defending units) Scorched Skies (2D6 + number of objetive firestrom hits, and -2 Ld to defending units) and finally Death From Above (every time Drop Pod lands 6'' from defending unit they must take a Ld test) this all adds up to an entire deep striking army cuasing the enemy to take Ld tests everytime i land near them at -3 Ld and on top of that they might not be able to hit me in the first turn and then finally i can blast them to hell with and average of 11 Basilk shots now that is sweet do you think that would be feasable, of course i would make some tanks if at anypoint i played a normal game, just so i could take down some things at range so thanks in advance Athiair :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172702-taking-the-plunge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Welcome to Pre heresy. Go with the fugitive rules. They are fluffy and portray the legions well in battle.

Custodian Athiair Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 yeh i know that but would GW allow them to be used that is the risk i am considering and for other players in GW i am going to GW today and i will ask thanks i really need info on colour scheme though Athiair :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172702-taking-the-plunge/#findComment-2041315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 welcome to the glory days of the Imperium brother :tu: the Luna Wolves colour scheme is basically white (often described as pearl white) with black trim. the Justaerin terminators use black armour much like the legion does after the Heresy. I hope this helped even a bit :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172702-taking-the-plunge/#findComment-2041349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custodian Athiair Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 yeh thats what i thought but people have told me it is actually Grey with Yellow trim like on the cover of Horus Rising Athiair :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172702-taking-the-plunge/#findComment-2042393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 That's an interpretation of the Sons of Horus colour scheme that came about after the Horus Heresy artwork books were published. Luna Wolves were definately white. If you have a look through the old threads here in the horus heresy forum you'll find a bucket load of other people's miniatures painted in their colours for inspiration.

Firenze Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I am able to use the TF rules at my GW. I ask permission from the player first but they usually say yes as it is fun to play PH. My army isnt competitive either. I made it to look cool.
