Ion Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Greetings brothers, it's been a long time since I've been on the forums, but I cannot make my mind up so I come for help in coming to a decision. I'm finally ready to make a Legion army, and while I had been planning a World Eaters one for a long time the sheer majesty of the Horus model has converted me to the legion of the Lupercal (it helps I can transfer the core ideal of my fluff concept over fairly easily) But that leaves me with the tough decision as to whether to make them the Sons of Horus just a short period of time before (or during) the heresy, or if I should go the route of the Luna Wolves and have them before Horus' fall. It seems like a minor decision but I cannot decide at all. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291317-luna-wolves-or-sons-of-horus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd personally go for Luna Wolves - you get the best of both worlds for the time being, as you'll have access to all the shiny SoHs-esque stuff like Abaddon, Horus (ofcs), Reavers etc. as well as the LWs own uniques like Garro and a very nice colour scheme - you can always go pure SoH later on in the Heresy when the only LWs left are on Terra or floating about w/ Garro and crew.

Nathaniel Garro was a Death Guard - Are you sure you don't mean Garviel Loken?

Reyner Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Luna Wolves. The colour scheme is awesome, I only did mine as Sons of Horus as I had already tried a white army with my DIY Chapter.

Daevyll Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 As you'll be painting alot of them, just ask yourself the very simple question: What do I think looks best ? Don't think, about it, your first instinctive choice is the correct one.

Atia Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 i would go for SoH. You can use them for both, Crusade and Heresy battles. So you can do Mournival, Qruze, Targhost but also stuff like the luperci Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291317-luna-wolves-or-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3694539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Also think of the setting you want for your army. A great crusade era force, conquering the galaxy for humanity, or Horus traitor forces, fighting a war against their tyrant.

DuskRaider Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd say Sons of Horus, mainly because it will look odd having Luna Wolves battle at Isstvan V and whatnot.

svane jotunsbane Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 if your not sure get 2 disposable models and paint 1 of each in the 2 colour schemes, so u have 1 SOH and 1 lunar wolf. that way you can see the finished product, without having x number of models done in 1 scheme then you decide you like it in the other......

GrandMagnus Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Luna Woves. They are still loyalists, you get acces to all the SofH units/characters and their colour scheme is good though maybe a bit complicated.

tdemayo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd go with Sons of Horus. You want to be able to play these guys in as many battles as possible, all through the Heresy. I personally like the sea-green color too. And you can fight as either Loyalist or Traitor. If white or off-white is your prefered color both the Death Guard and the White Scars have a white base color.

Atia Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Also World Eaters are white ^^. And the sons of Angron could be a cool allied force for the sons of horus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291317-luna-wolves-or-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3694893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunawolves Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Me personally I would be the Luna Wolves because Captain Garviel Loken is a Badass Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291317-luna-wolves-or-sons-of-horus/#findComment-3695794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
