fearlessgod Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey guys. I'm planning on starting a crusade/pre-heresy era army. I'm going to use the great MK II and MK III models from ForgeWorld for my force. I have planned on using the Space Wolves codex as my choice to represent the army. So, what units are ok for a crusade/pre-heresy era army? For example, they used rhinos, but did they use razorbacks? Are melta weapons ok? Did termies use assault cannons or auto cannons like Chaos termies. In other words, I NEED HELP! Thanks in advance for the help. ~fearlessgod~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240509-starting-a-crusade-era-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 While I thought I read somewhere that Khan rode on the back of a razorback during Terra's siege, I have looked up razorbacks to find their discovery during M36. Razorbacks are a no no in this case. Limited use of Melta Weapons would be alright, as they seem widely received current time. I'm not for sure on the terminators, but I would consider viewing the chaos marines as a loose outline. For example, current space marines use storm bolters while chaos still uses the twin bolter design to to the same effect. That should help be a loose guideline.

Kizzdougs Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Wich Legion are planning on building? The Assault canon was just coming into use at the end of the Great Crusade. The Sehkmet (TS terminators) in 'A thousand sons' use one. Predator Annihilators are post Heresy. LRC and LRR should be considered post Heresy as well. Don't use Thunder Wolf Cavalry. I'm not sure if they are considered post heresy or not though.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 if you want a rules accurate army list, use the chaos codex. dont take chaos god marks, daemons of any kind, or defilers. but the 10-20 strong squads, autocannons in termie squads, bikes, jump packs, chosen and tough chaos lords all work in yor flavor. also, importantly, no ATSKNF. that benefit of fanaticism hasnt been introduced yet.

Ethrion Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah I definitely agree with WLK, the chaos codex is best at representing pre-heresy armies. It has none of the no no's of the 41st millenium and all of the equipment that the legions would have had access too (barring jet bikes and drop pods...)
