Phoros Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/forgeworld-seminar-information-horus.html This information seems to indicate that the only Legion not planned for the first two Horus Heresy trilogies are the White Scars. Am I reading this right, and can anyone who was there or anything confirm this? The Scars were the one Legion that I wanted to do, and I'm a little upset that they're seemingly the only ones not getting done any time soon... (On the other hand, if they're in the first book of the third set of books, I only have to get one book for their rules...)

DuskRaider Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 They'll most likely be the last Legion to receive rules. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282750-white-scars-legion-rules/#findComment-3511674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hadden Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Unless... You can name a significant battle the white scars were in before terra...

Emperor's Furor Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yeah this was confirmed at games day. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282750-white-scars-legion-rules/#findComment-3511689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 still at that point it gives you at least 2 years to save up if not 3 :P then splash a few hundred (or thousand) on creating your Legion :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282750-white-scars-legion-rules/#findComment-3511726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Well I mean there's some obvious buys you can get in that time. You know they'll have heavy usage of Jetbikes. Storm Eagles with Tactical Squads in them is a good idea too. There's a Rite of War for all of this that handles White Scars well.

SillyDreadnought Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah, but the first two trilogies only cover the opening moments of the Heresy. The first "year", as it were. There's still the Thramas Crusade, the events leading to the White Scars setting sail for Terra, Anvilus and six more years of the Heresy to cover. Just because one legion gets missed out in the first six books is no cause for doom nor gloom. There's plenty of room for the White Scars to flex and shine their mustaches. Although, I think we should be far more concerned with this "Mr Bleigh" and if he ( or indeed, it ) is a doppleganger planning to sabotage the Heresy book series!

Kol Saresk Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 How exactly is he sabotaging it? Most of the things presented in the Forgeworkd books are presented in a "looking back" perspective, much like the old IA articles. For example, the section on the Word Bearers' censure is littered with "Some sources indicate", or "fragmentary records", I think at one point it even says "much information has been lost". Any and all "contradictions" can easily be written off as "incomplete information" vs "first-hand account". And I bet if we asked Forgeworld, that'd be the reply we get.

SillyDreadnought Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Kol, you so silly. Yes, it was a rather poor joke based on the spelling mistake in the article.

Just because one legion gets missed out in the first six books is no cause for doom nor gloom. There's plenty of room for the White Scars to flex and shine their mustaches. I suppose so. I guess that more than anything, I'm just... perplexed that of the 18 Legions, all but one get rules and models in the first two trilogies - and on top of that, we get the almost supplementary Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Mechanicum and Imperial Army in them, but no Scars. The Dark Angels even get included in a book about a battle that has nothing to do with them!

DuskRaider Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 They're going chronologically. The Scars stayed out of the game almost halfway through the Heresy. I don't know what you expect...

Phoros Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 So did the Dark Angels, and they managed to find a place for them. I'm sure they could have whipped something up to fit them in, since right now they're the only major faction whose release hasn't been declared. I mean, they've announced a release plan for daemons!

Kol Saresk Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 No, the Dark Angels were involved right off the bat, they were just involved in "minor" battles(Fallen Angels). The White Scars had been isolated in the Chondax system and so they had no contact with anyone until the Alpha Legion began to fight them.

DuskRaider Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Daemons won't be getting models or special rules as far as I know. As FW said, the rules and models supplied by GW are sufficient.

depthcharge12 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Im expecting their rite of war to be all infantry in rhinos, scoring outriders if not troop choices, and jetbikes. I can see less heavy support and maybe 1 only heavy vehicle like land raider or sicaran.

Russ Brother 92 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think it would be more like the BA spearhead type - like depthcharge says, rhinos available for all troops, maybe a 0-1 on Heavy Support squads unless inside a rhino, lots of faster light tanks (sicaran/whirlwind/vindicator) and much less of things like Spartans or Artillery - they like to swipe at the weakest and most outstretched parts of the enemy lines to force them apart - then go in for the kill - think a pack of lions in the plains of africa. As for their timing well - at least your Primarch isn't dead in the 2nd book and your Legion scattered haha :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282750-white-scars-legion-rules/#findComment-3512831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the ones to capture the Continental Siege Weapons that Horus needed and keep them safe from the traitors by giving them to Perturabo while he was on his way to Isstvan V..... ...oh, wait! I suppose if I was aiming to collect the Scars I would be a bit hacked off about having to wait until 2016 for some rules. Until the release of the information that the First were going to be in Book 5, I'd resigned myself to thinking they'd show up in Book 7 with some Night Lords fighting the Thramas Crusade. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see the DA being released ahead of the Ultramarines, and with the Bangles for some Old Skool Angels of Death action Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282750-white-scars-legion-rules/#findComment-3513893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
