Heresy Army size

Recommended Posts

Aye my dreams consist of owning all 9?! Legions as at Istvann V however the missus wouldn't be happy with me selling the house and besides - if I did, where would I store the precious?!? Instead my current aim is 5k IHs, 2-3k Mechanicum and 1k of each other Legion (going for SCs, Primarchs and 1 each of their unique units).

Ahh in that case Kol my list goes up haha as does the likelihood of being murdered by the missus tongue.png

Iron Warriors, Thousand Sons, and its really a toss up between Imperial Fists, Space Wolves, Death Guard and Raven Guard.

I mean IW vs IF and TS vs SW would make for some killer dioramas..

While at the moment I have absolutely nothing in the way of 30k models save 3 MK III marines my good friend Vazzy was kind enough to donate, it is my hope  to have two 30k armies, starting with Iron Hands which should run to about maybe 3000 points and after that I will move on to making my Sons of Horus (and friends) army.

Thats a pretty good way to do it probably if your looking to mix and match.

 

I really just want everything, but will likely settle into WB to start (as I have started...) Night Lords (as it was the original plan until I was put off by the 'Even the Terrans come from a :cuss hole part of town) and then likely some World Eaters.

I currently own :

 

2 Praetors

1 MoS

1 Master of Forge on Jetbike

1 Praetor on jetbike

1 Chaplain on jetbike

1 Librarian on jetbike

1 Primus medicae on jetbike

5 Bodyguard on jetbike

20 Assault Marines in two squads

10 Reconnaissance marines

10 Lascannon heavy support marines

1 Caestus Ram

1 Fellblade

1 Cerberus

1 Magos Dominus

12 Thallax

2 Castellax

 

I plan on building even more of my NL and Legio Cybernetica with time. I will probably add more marines cause I'm pretty light there (20 assault marines more and support squad) some terminators, and have fun trying some new tank like sicaran and glaive. I can't wait to get all of that :) My bank adviser not so much :P 

It does appear that a lot of the Heresy players lean towards much larger armies or are already existing Apoc players transitioning their army setup across.

 

My force is largely apoc based and fielded as either 30K or Tyrant's Legion (paired with my IG stuff), the 30K units are:

 

2 x Praetors (TDA and PA)

12 x Centurions (3xChaplains, MoSignals, Moritat, Vigilator, Siege Breaker, Forge Lord, 2 x Legion Champions, 2x Primaris Medicae)

 

2 x Techmarine Covenents (with Servitors)

1 x 10 man Veteran Squad

3 x Rapier Batteries Laser Destroyer or Graviton

2 x Dreadnoughts w/ Drop Pods

1 x Contemptor Deadnought w/ Drop Pods

2 x 10 man Terminator Sqauds

 

4 x 20 man Tactical Squads

1 x 20 man Breacher Squad

1 x 10 man Support Squad (all weapon options)

2 x 10 man Recon squads

1 x 20 man Assault Squad

 

1 x 8 man Seeker Squad

1 x 6 man Outrider squad

1 x 3 man Attack Bike squads

3 x Landspeeders

 

1 x 10 man Heavy Support squad (all weapon options)

3 x Predators

3 x Vindicators

3 x Whirlwinds

1 x Assault Ram

 

1 x Fellblade

1 x Typhon

1 x Malcador

2 x Warhound Titans

 

1 x Magos

10 x Thallax

 

10 x Rhinos/Razorbacks

1 x Landradier

1 x Dreadclaw

 

1 x Imperial Fortress

I think for the most part, the HH games were made for Legions. And I don't mean that as snide as it has the potential to come across, just that sometimes it seems we underestimate the scale this entails. This isn't meant for a small force. And from what I've seen, so far only the Night Lords' RoW actually supports something of a "smallish" army, but no smaller than 1000 points.

 

Don't get me wrong, the rest are useable in a 2000 pts or less list, but at 2000-Apoc range is where they really shine.

 

So bigger just seems natural, rather than in 40K where the average Codex army is able to fully function at 1,000 points.

I want the lords of war to be amended to use over 3500 points - because at that level they are still power houses, but don't affect the balance of the game as you will have enough counters to it.

 

 

I wholey agree with you Kol. I would love to field 4000ish points with maybe 1 lord of war choice as the basic-ish point level. That way I can get most everything I want in a list.

 

 

 

I might be crazy...but I want my list to accomodate:

 

+full jetbike squad

 

+2 full assault squads

 

+Legion command squad

 

+Sicarian with two Plasma Destroyer Predators

 

+3 20 man tactical squads

 

+2 support squads

 

+1 lascannon heavy support team

 

+1 10 man volkite culverin heavy support team

 

+1 multi melta heavy support team

 

+2 stormeagles with 10 man veteran squads each

 

+destroyer squad with moritat with jetpacks

 

+spartan

 

+10 man cataphractii termie squad

 

+10 raptors

 

+Fellglaive

 

 

 

....yeah time to win that lotto or maybe two

Okay what I eventually want

 

3x 20 tac squads w/ Spartans

 

2x 20 man despoilers

 

3x 20 man breachers

 

4x 10 destroyers w/ drop pods

 

6x 10 man terminators

 

3x 3 cont dred talons
