d200j7 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hi Guys, I have recently started a pre heresy word bearers army. So far it's going pretty well. I'm using grey knights and grey knight terminators as the word bearers. With a bit of work they really fit the bill. There are no aquillas on their armour (which looks quite pre-heresy anyway) and with a bit of green stuff the book emblem can be transformed into the pre-heresy bearers badge. I use codex CSM with no deamonic stuff, as this means terminators come with power weapons rather than power fists (good for the GK models) and the normal marines come with a chainsword (again easy convert from GK in PA) My concern is with my IG. I have a substantial infantry only IG army which i would like to merge with the new word bearers (mainly in apocalypse) as pre-heresy imperial army. The models are all cadians (with a couple of squads of mordians and preatorians). What can i do to this army to give it a more pre-heresy feel? All ideas/comments very welcome.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I would suggest looking through the Heresy novels and picking one of the few IG regiments who are described. Your best source is probably Legion, as it describes four of five regiments and you should be able to find one that fits.

Skirax Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I would suggest looking through the Heresy novels and picking one of the few IG regiments who are described. Your best source is probably Legion, as it describes four of five regiments and you should be able to find one that fits. Although this is difficult to do, as if you look on the Legion cover, the Geno-Five Two wear armour similar to those of modern day Beef-Eaters (The XII Legio, incidentally, Beef for the Beef Queen!) or even the Vostroyan, only it's really ornate and very difficult looking to convert. As there was no 'typical' armour in the Crusade, I'd say feel free to go wild. Maybe even switch up uniforms between Catachan and Cadian models. Although, for good advise on Imperial Guard, I'd say head over to Boot Camp, that's if you survive the introductory post. Oh poor soul, never saw it coming...

Lord_Caldera Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Take off all of the Imperial Eagles, or at least the big ones (filing those tiny aquilas off of several hundred helmets, flak jackets and lasguns may get tedious!), and check some of the pre-heresy dedicated sites to find ways you can limit your weaponry selection to fit the era and maybe how you can convert a counts-as vehicle that doesn't see use in M41.
