Grizwald23 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So I have narrowed my army to 2 main choices pre heresy blood angels or pre heresy Imperial Fists. I am planning on making the army around a 40k codex because I don't know anyone who plays 30k but the army will be modeled as a pre heresy army so if I every find some people that play 30k I can just add a couple units to my army and Ill be good to go. Anyway my question is what special legion units do then Imperial Fists have. I known they specialize in siege warfare so I would think they would have a lot of terminators. Also what do you guys think about running them with the DA codex. Their Special Character from the SM codex gives IF stubborn which the DA has as the grim resolve rule. Also they can run a lot of terminators which is how I picture the Imperial Fists. I would not run a ravenwing army because they does not say IF to me at all except maybe having one biker unit just for the teleport homer.

Coopervisor Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Breacher siege squads I guess would be a good unit for IF. I did once consider playing them as legion of the damned in the vanilla codex, but never made my mind up.

jeremy1391 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Never thought of using bleachers as LOTD... Great idea! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277680-imperial-fists/#findComment-3407800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Briechers in 40k : You possibly could field a command squad with storm shields (only 4 with shields though, since the apoth cannot take one) or Vanguard vets without JPs.. Or DA command squad (in which case all 5 can take a shield).

jeremy1391 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Or even as DA vets! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277680-imperial-fists/#findComment-3407907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Wow, I had completely missed the DA vets... Yeah, they definitely are your best bet, since you can then have a full 10-man "breacher" squad...

Grizwald23 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Ok so if I do the IF it sounds like the DA codex would work what about the terminators though. Because of the Breacher squad suggestion I'm thinking terminators would be a good fit and the deathwing knights could be a sort of elite Breacher squad. Even though they didn't have storm shields back then I would think that the terminators would have some form of shields maby prototype storm shields or something. Also if I wanted to add a ravenwing section to the army I could make them white scars which would be cool. We're the white scars and imperial fists good friends I known they fought at the battle of terra together but in general did the two legions get along in general.
