++ Heretic Astartes Resources ++

Brother Nihm · March 16, 2010

There are lots of useful topics about the Heretic Astartes scattered across the Bolter & Chainsword. While most will occur in this forum and its sub-forums, other related topics are bound to spring up elsewhere, especially in the Painting, Converting, and Artwork forums. In addition, there are plenty of external web sites and videos that are useful for Heretic Astartes players. Since we can't pin every useful topic, external website link, or video link, this topic is intended to provide a handy resource for players of the Heretic Astartes.

If you know of a topic, external website, or video that you think should be added to this resource listing, please reply with a link to that topic. If you see a link that you think is no longer relevant, feel free to provide your reasons for removing it in a reply. We'll do our best to keep this resource listing updated.

Also keep in mind the tags function and how those provide a handy method by which members can search for related topics.

The recommended tags for general Heretic Astartes discussions are Chaos Space Marines and Heretic Astartes.

This resource index has been updated and cleaned up. All submitted links have been added.

With regard to the third party bits/model manufacturers, at this point I've only added them to the main Heretic Astartes listing. In cases where a manufacturer has models/bits that are suitable for a specific Legion or warband, feel free to provide direct links to either individual models/bits or to groups based on line/tag/whatever (e.g., anything suitable for the Night Lords).
