captain Angel Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 As the topic states, I love the fist because of thier stubborn nature and thier history, and Dorn has some awesome fluff They always remind me of the battle of rorks drift, with disciplined firing line and a never retreat attitude But the salamanders were the first 40k chapter I read about, and they also have a never say die attitude and they don't retreat, and they take a far greater care in the common man. Vulkan is also awesome, being a perpetual and his rules are excellent. I. CAN'T. DECIDE!

Grotsmasha Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Paint a test model for each and see which you enjoy more.

KJB Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Both great legions, but lets face it - painting yellow will probably send you demented...

Xwingt65 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Wait untill book 3 is out. Then paint a test model from each legion, to see what you like painting the most. Write a few test lists, to try out the special units each legion can deploy. But go for the one you like painting the most, and you like the looks of the best.

our_baz Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 IMO Sallies would be more of a modelling / painting challenge. With all scales and flames that need incorporating.

Týr Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well why not both? Nothing keeps you from starting two legions. If you end up prefering one over the other you just make that one your main army and the other your allies.

Russ Brother 92 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Aye Sallies and Imp Fists would look great and have very similar mentalities... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288334-help-me-decide-please-imperial-fists-or-salamanders/#findComment-3626935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Imperial Fists with shattered Legions allies? A number of survivors regrouped and joined up with an Imperial Fists contingent? Give you an excuse to add the odd Raven Guard or Iron Hand too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288334-help-me-decide-please-imperial-fists-or-salamanders/#findComment-3626938 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandMagnus Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well, since I have never really liked Salamanders I will say: FISTS.

Xwingt65 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 While you think and wait for book 3, you can begin to accumulate models. I have a growing stack of mkiii and mkiv marines, a few rhinos, a sicarian, some apothecaries, a contemptor and other small assorted things, I cant make up my mind either. Ill most likely wait for book 4 (blood angels) and book 5 (space puppies) before nailing dowb my legion. So far i have then ranked 1. Iron Hands 2. Blood Angels 3. Sons of Horus 4. Salamanders 5. Space Wolves. But with no models out for 3 of them, i cant make the final choice.

captain Angel Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I have been collecting crimson fists, and a lot of people are collecting fists, maybe I should try something else Or maybe wait for Dorn's rules and see what I like more.

Olis Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'll outline my favourite method of choice for you: Here's a good method of finding out what you REALLY want: Flip a coin for it. But here's the rub - the way it lands is immaterial because while it is in the air, you'll know in that split-second which option you're hoping will turn up. Choose that one and don't bother looking at the coin. As spoken by me to a friend earlier this evening. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288334-help-me-decide-please-imperial-fists-or-salamanders/#findComment-3626991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Trying to figure out which legion to build is worse than trying to buy a PC. You just KNOW that as soon as you get that hot new machine home, something new is going to come out that will make you sick. I think some of the suggestions have a lot of merit. Regardless of which Legion you build, you can certainly start collecting the bulk of the troops and then play around with color schemes. Learn to enjoy the indecision. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288334-help-me-decide-please-imperial-fists-or-salamanders/#findComment-3626994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adra'Melek Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I use a similar method when my wife asks for my opinion on shoes. Just say a random one and she'll either agree or disagree. I think she's wised up as now she asks why.

infyrana Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Personally, I would choose Fists if I wanted to do a siege based army, and if I liked heavy use of flamers and a hammer TDA unit and could stand painting green, I'd choose Salamanders.

thepager Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Fists are the best hands down. Rogal Dorn and his boys were the ones to defend Terra against the Chaos scum!! Salamanders are I don't know... looking for relics... not lke the great general Rogal and his fists!!! I might be a bit biased....

TheForgottenAngel Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Here's my thing. If you are going to spend upwards of $1000s of dollars on something, do it because you love it, not because X amount of people are or aren't. Your army will be unique because you made it. I'm doing a Dark Angels army because I'm drawn to the story and love the tragedy. Not because there are tons of people doing it out not ding it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288334-help-me-decide-please-imperial-fists-or-salamanders/#findComment-3627391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're really serious about this, then you need to accept now that it will be a labor of love. Not only money will be devoured by this project, but time, sweat, blood, and quite possibly sanity. The Legion you choose must be the Legion closest to your heart, not just the ice cream flavor of the month.
