Jolemai Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Assuming you haven't been hiding under a rock for the past few weeks you will have seen that Forgeworld have announced that they will be doing heresy era rules. That means: Jetbike models (confirmed) Fellblade models (confirmed) Sanguinius model (Primarches will have rules for Apocalypse games, so...) N'Kari and Kabandah models (at a guess) ... and any other fluff related BA stuff from that era. Now I know that our turn wont happen for a while, but other than purchasing a Sangiunius model, will you have a Pre-Heresy army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Any BA-superheavy will find it's way into my army sooner or later :D And of course Sanguinius, if the model is nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 If? IF?!? That in itself is heresy sir! Joking aside, I expect it will be a nice model but where oh where do I find the cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hell yes, my Mk IV assault squad has been cleaned and is ready to build - pre-heresy for the win! Basically, I'm buying anything Mk IV - greatest Forge World creation ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJB Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 What do you like so much about the MkIV? It's by far (to me anyway) the nicest looking of all armour variants (the helmet especially) plus its classed as the pinnacle of power armour technology, and as we know the Blood Angels are the greatest of all the original legions, so it only seems fitting that they wear the best!

Sixestohit Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 My whole army is heresy era forgeworld so I definitely will! The new stuff is awesome and I can't wait to steal loads from the shiney glass cabinets ahahahah see it at UK games day! ;) James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregornet Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I am in for anything mk2-mk4. Jetbikes maybe, but a fellblade? Absolutely! Cataphract terminators and the like. I suppose the current guard kit will suffice just fine for their heresy era models. Ill take stock and make a list of items to purchase after games day.

ulllyssies0110 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 On yes I'll will have a heresy army but it may be Sons of Horus :yes: For the War... Emperor! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'll 100% be getting Sangunius, but as far as the heresy armour gose I'll not be buying in to it all. I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the older Mks or old school models. I might buy the odd jet bike or character model, but I'll definatly not be 30k-ing my whole army.

DarkMark Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Quite, perhaps shamefully, I don't even know which bolters are supposed to go with which mark armour! :) Then add all the raider variants and I'm lost. A quick explanation is always welcome. :) The price issue isn't too bad, at FW, but the quality control is. If FW had a good QC reputation I'd be interested.

I think that FW quality control is better than GW fine cast. Haven't had any problems of my FW stuff. But my GW fine cast mini's sits at about a 60% failure rate. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Firefocht Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I might end up selling my 40K Blood Angels and move wholesale into a pre-heresy army. It's going to be expensive, but the looks of the army should be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I will probably get a few bits here and there to supplement my stuff, but I will not be starting another army. I will get the Sanguinius model though. That is just too awesome not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Might get it and mix it in with the normal bits, I like the idea, but all FW armies are just to... expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodReavers Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Since my Blood Angels are really a successor chapter named Blood Reavers, I won't be making them into my Heresy Army. I want to do a traitor legion, so I can play them both as loyalist and traitor, and I don't want to paint another red army, so there goes Thousand Sons. I already have a Blood Angels army play-style, so no World Eaters for me. So I'll probably end up doing Death Guard, as an all black army doesn't appeal to me.

While I don't know what Bolters go with which armour I can say that any of the Forgeworld weapon kits (special, heavy and the bolter kits) will (in my opinion) be passable. That or any RT/2nd edition weapons you have lying around. LRC and LRR were not around during the Heresy, only the "normal" Land Raider was. As a general rule of thumb, if Chaos have something, then it's pre-heresy. If not, then it's post-heresy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It is just a shame that MkIV armour is so badly out of scale really. only the newer kits seem to be, the standard mk4 marine squad was fine. the 'mk4' assault squad is too small (and its also technically mk5) the mk4 commander and banner bearer are just flat out depressing for how short they are.

Vodunius Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Regarding bolters, I remember someone on here did get an email from FW saying which bolters for which armour.. I can't remember which was which but i seem to recall disagreeing with them. Going by the concept sketches in the original armour fluff article from WD129/RT Compilation it would be: MkII & III = Phobos MkIV & VII = Tigrus or Godwyn MkV & VI = Umbra Rationale: The Umbra is blatantly the plastic boltgun from the RTB01 box re-sized and re-shaped to match the Godwyn of modern marines. The Tigrus & Phobos don't look much like the guns in the old guns at all - but they have design elements in common with the originals that make them look like 'reimaginings'. Godwyn: Retcon. Prior to 3rd edition the iconic MkVII marine carried the vaguelyTigrus pattern boltgun, 3rd edition retconned this to the Godwyn pattern. The old sketches showed the MkIV using the same gun as MkVII - so the retcon could be applied to MkIV as well. Presumably the unpublished fluff was that MkV/VI boltgun was a stripped down version designed for faster production to re-equip the loyalists alongaside the MkV armour (presumably the traitors had gotten the lions share of the new guns along with the MkIV armour) with the more advanced designing coming back into production when the tide turned.

The standard MkIV squad are anorexic! Please put them next to a MkVII marine and imagine how thin the limbs would need to be to fit in there. And if you put a normal plastic head in place of the helmet it looks even funnier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
