Hyaenidae Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 You can absorb some cost with using GW plastics, as well. I use a crap ton of beakies in my army myself. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294717-help-me-get-started/page/3/#findComment-3776511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I was planning to stick to FW, but I'm sure I can use the odd plastic part. I'm not too worried about the price really, it'll be spread out long enough I'm sure.

Ishagu Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I personally keep everything in my heresy army strictly forgeworld.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294717-help-me-get-started/page/3/#findComment-3776525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah I'm probably gonna do that too. As a general rule I prefer FW models to GW.

Hyaenidae Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'd say all my models are about half-and-half. I can only think of a small handful of models that I have that are pure FW. Adds some variety, especially if you can get comfortable with greenstuff.

Fire Golem Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 That's another thing as well, I'm godawful with green stuff. I love your IW heathens, I never used to be interested in them at all until I saw your models and read Angel Exterminatus. I really like the Tyberos Chainfist, mind if I borrow that idea?

Hyaenidae Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Of course, feel free! I use it as a Power Fist and counts-as Melta Bombs. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294717-help-me-get-started/page/3/#findComment-3776551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks! I remember looking through your entire IW thread a while a go and he stood out because of that weapon. I think I also remember a guy with an E Tool? And all your little stories to go with it. Part of why I went pre heresy, along with some other people's examples and the black library novels.

depthcharge12 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Be careful friend. Collecting a Horus Heresy army is very rewarding, but it makes regular Games Workshop products seem like a trip to poundland! I read pound land the wrong way and nearly spewed coffee everywhere. Lol you might want to find another name that's not synonymous with pound town. Note: stupid Slaanesh infiltrates everything!

MakoBoy88 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Fire Golem, what did you buy in the end? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294717-help-me-get-started/page/3/#findComment-3777677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 I bought Extermination in the end from FW, and received it t'other day, it's absolutely gorgeous. So that spurred me to buy Massacre which I got on eBay (new) for slightly cheaper than new, which should be en route now ;) so... Both haha. And I still can't decide on which fugging legion(s). Random point, whenever someone mentions my forum name on here I cringe a little...I made it when I was like 14 or something and it was gonna be my chapters name...

Slips Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 If it means anything, it's not as bad as my uber long and angsty Email that I've had since 12 >_> which coincidentally is around the time I got into Metal for life :P As for the Legions to chose, in the end just do what would feel the most natural since we've already helped you get far along enough to have settled on 3 which is a vast improvement over 18 (or however many you originally couldn't decide upon >_>). If its all 3, its all 3. And yes the 3 part 30k Bilbe equivalents are indeed gorgeous!

Fire Golem Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Haha my email address is also 40k related and it's embarrassing whenever I have to use it in any official sense... I should really make a new one but...effort. Yeah I've also added Word Bearers to the list ;) so... We'll see when I get Massacre. Really envy people who can instantly settle on one. They really are, I'm probably gonna end up getting Betrayal as well, even though I was going to skip that one and get the Crusade army list book.

Slips Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yeah dont skip on betrayal since that would essentially make me want to OCD murder you xD having books Numbered II and III but no I !?!?! HERESY I've also already made a more official Email..but ehhhhhhhhhhh. And trust me, while I and others have easily settled on a single Legion rather quickly, It doesn't mean that the temptation of the other Legions aren't there.

Fire Golem Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Oh yeah that would annoy me too, having 2 and 3 but no 1... Means I'll have to get them all! What a shame ;) I'm sure the temptation is there, you guys must be considerably stronger willed than me to resist it....

Russ Brother 92 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Oh yeah that would annoy me too, having 2 and 3 but no 1... Means I'll have to get them all! What a shame I'm sure the temptation is there, you guys must be considerably stronger willed than me to resist it.... The temptation for other legions doesn't wane for me - I just brush it off with long periods of PC gaming and a major lack of money (my two main hobbies are 30k and Airsoft) - just bought the LACAL Gamer's edition so I'm not carrying around 2 or sometimes all 3 tomes plus mini rule book every time I use my army... I've also learnt how magical magnetising is :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294717-help-me-get-started/page/3/#findComment-3778372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah when I actually have models to game with I too shall buy the gamers editions.

Ishagu Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Lol I just spent £40 on getting the bits together to make a Morirat and a Tartaros wearing Primus Medicae...
