Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Actually need to change my pledge then: Â I pledge 10 Iron Warrior tactical legionnaires, and 5 Sons of Horus tactical legionnaires. I know you said 1 legion but it's just to get me locked down into the legions I'm doing and after that it'll be one at a time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ahaha, IW are getting MORE marines than SoH?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah like I said in the pm, if the SoH are like throwing the IW at walls and such, I think it makes sense for the IW to be the bigger detachment with more bodies, and the SoH as a smaller elite detachment over watching the IW.

Fire Golem Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have a quick question that doesn't seem worth starting a new thread for; under 7th ed, can you have more than 1 allied detachment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah, you can take as many CaD (min 1hq 1 or 2 troops) as many times as you want so long as you have the points for it. I can look it up specifically if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hmm. That could be dangerous... Â Considering SoH, IW and some Alpha Legion... It was going so well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Fire Golem, from my experience with jumping around legions, it's not good for motivation or for your sanity. Honestly I have had days where all I can think about is what to paint and not having an answer, when I should have just sat down and worked on something. By all means, have a multi legion force, but initially start on one. Try to get to a thousand points or whatever your comfortable with, then look at an allied detachment.

Slips Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Deleted my long winded response since Demon hit the nail on the head :P  But, yeah. Start focused and stay that way. Jumping around too frequently, for whatever reason, is another good way of burning yourself out since you'll feel like you don't have any stability to latch onto. Start with a force you know you'll use the most. Not that you like the fluff of or playstyle, etc. But that you'll use the most. The centerpiece of your multi-legion force since they're likely to get...well...used the most. After that start branching out.  Don't just scatter everywhere and try to do everything all at the same time. Take your time, be focused and who knows,  you might have a  pretty drastic change of heart / direction when you get far enough along any one project. Would be a shame if you suddenly didn't "feel" the Alpha Legion anymore for X/Y/Z reasons but you now have a 500 point force painted up that'll probably sit on a shelf till you rekindle that spark.  In the end, I still made a rather long winded response :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I know that but... It's difficult :( especially as I don't know which legion I want as the main part. Either SoH or IW, the AL will probably be a small elite detachment anyway so yeah I'll save them til later. Thanks guys. I think I just need to be told that sometimes haha.

Slips Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Now, this wouldn't be the grimdarkness of the far-future-past-future....yeah... if it was easy now would it ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm thinking IW as the main detachment. I always picture them having lots of bodies to throw at the enemy. And then the SoH and AL can add a splash of colour to the silver and brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ok, maybe take this into consideration, the Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors have little in the way of their own FW kits, and I expect they will probably get them from October onwards (we will more then likely see stuff at Games Day, or whatever it's called now, and they will be released from then onwards), so why not wait to see what FW do with them. You might not like the specialist stuff, the dedicated units, or upgrade kits. Now this might not be a reason not to collect those armies, when I was briefly with the World Eaters, I avoided a lot of their stuff, and you are within your rights to make any legion look any way you want. However, it may be the case that the stuff they bring out really turns you off that faction to the point you don't want to go near them, and the stuff you have been working on then gets left and never touched again. Basically, what I am saying is, maybe stick to the SoH, and see what FW do with other 2 legions, I am sure it will be awesome, but it might influence you against painting them. Of course, do some test models for both the IW and AL to see if you like painting them, just maybe not make them your focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Okay that's a good point too... I'll consider that. Although IW wise, I don't know what they can do wrong with Cataphractii with shoulder missile launchers ;) but you do put forward good points... Â Ugh why can't I just like one legion -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can't imagine they will mess up either legion, although I do fear theAlpha Legion will be a mess of serpent scale and hydra insignia. The chained Alpha on top an Omega is so much cooler. Â It's hard to pick one legion as they are all being written so well. The thing is to find the one that captivates you the most. I like the Raven Guard, Night Lords, Alpha Legion, Imperial Fists, Iron Warriors, and the Iron Hands. I have tried to work on them all (except the IF strangely), I am hoping I stick with the Iron Hands, they fit my mentality before I became 'ill'; I used to be tenacious, stubborn, always quick to anger, but a burning anger I could pool into something productive. Also I like to create things, and pull other things apart to see how they work and improve them (plus I would love to be be a blacksmith, in fact if my Army career hadn't been cut short I would have pushed my trade down that route). At the same time I am looking at the other legions I like and trying to let them influence my plans for the Iron Hands. So I will have a recon Order (Raven Guard), I will try show their brutal side of close range firefights and devastating close combat assaults (Iron Warriors), I will also keep a Roman Legion look (Imperial Fists). I will also do an Alpha Legion kill team/small force. Â I know I am not one to talk, in the last few months alone I have switched Legions countless times, and in doing so have wasted money, time, and soured some of the enjoyment of the hobby. I would like to stop you doing he same. Â One last thing, I don't see the Iron Warriors as a 'thrown against the walls' type army. The are calculated, they know what firepower needs to be directed where, how many are soldiers needed to overrun the defences etc. Yes when they get up case they are very brutal, but before that point they have worked out every detail to anticipate victory.

Fire Golem Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 They are all written so well, I've looked at SoH, AL, NL, IW, IF, etc  And yeah the IW are calculated, but they won't hesitate to throw men at walls when needed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Oh yeah, but would they do so at the SoH command. The traitors are not as united as Horus would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
