Ordo Machinum Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 My current plan is to build at least two of each squad type. Overall, I am aiming for keeping close to the legion disposition format of Horus Heresy Book 1 Betrayal. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XSFjPMbEy8k/Ujhy-WAyWtI/AAAAAAAACuI/qHF7P6-yRFQ/s400/legion-strategic-disposition.png Five total companies: 1st Veteran Company, 2nd - 4th Line Companies, 5th Specialist Company Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282385-heresy-army-size/#findComment-3504848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Dog Studios Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Currently aiming for about 40-50 infantry, some rhinos and a LR at about 2000 points. Thats just for Space Wolves as well, so when Inferno comes out hopefully I'll be looking into expanding it quite a bit more! I'm also thinking about starting another army too, not sure what yet. Will hopefully be about the same sort of size as the what the Wolves will end up being too.

Scribe Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'll just be building up slowly really, the books are SO good I literally want everything.

Russ Brother 92 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Same - I've currently got (and this is partly down to them being high points) 20 Cataphractii, 1 TDA Praetor, 2 Contemptors (I have a 3rd in VI colours though I may change that) and 5 Breachers/IHs Vets and that's it so far, tops out around 2k mark so a while to go yet as I want 60 TDA as my Troops, 40 Breachers, another 3-4 Contemptors, one of each Consul and a bunch of tanks... So yeah patience is the key here (at least for me). Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282385-heresy-army-size/#findComment-3506109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
