OneOfOneThousand Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi All, I've currently got two heresy armies on the go - my primary force of the Alpha Legion and a secondary force of World Eaters which I started with before the Alphas kicked off, consisting of; 30 Tacticals 10 Cataphractii Spartan Storm Eagle Contemptor Rapier Khârn 3 Jetbikes Heavy Bolter Support Squad Vindicator My question is that I'm finding I have fallen out of favour with the XII, I dont want to invest in reinforcements for them and am thining of repainting the units I have. Question is, to what/who? My initial view was to check the allies chart for the XX, before realising that as we are super sneaky, very few want to work with us! Therefore I'm left with a few options; 1. Keep them as XII and see if I get my mojo back for them 2. Repaint them all as XX and risk the paintjob not working so well (white to the metallic shimmer I use could be tricky to pull off without losing detail) 3. Repaint as another legion. Current frontrunners are Raven Guard, Iron Hands, Salamanders, Thousand Sons or Night Lords - all of which have advantages and disadvantages Really struggling to focus on my hobby mojo with this staring at me from my miniature cabinet! I'm notorious amongst my friends for being a hobby butterfly and at the moment i'm thinking Iron Hands but a week ago it was Sallies and before that the Raven Guard. Help! Advice and support/shoulders to cry on welcome... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304519-the-advice-of-the-masses/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castiel Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'd say read Betrayer, and realise that you still love the WE. Just be prepared to want to buy Khârn afterwards. Other than that I'd say Salamanders, but I may be biased :P We have the best Primarch model (Ohhh, controversy! :P ), kickass terminators in the Firedrakes, the Pyroclasts are a fantastic unit. Any flamer weapons you use against us are at -1S while all of ours are +1S. And we're the kings of Zone Mortalis.

Hesh Kadesh Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Something worth bearing in mind is that the WE and AL don't ally well at all. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304519-the-advice-of-the-masses/#findComment-3975003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Take a piece of paper, and write pro and cons for each legion. Only you can choose your legion, we can make suggestion, but at the end it your choice.

Phalanx Warder Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If you are all about the XX legion right now just put the bloody XII on the shelf for a while, you picked them and made a financial commitment there had to be something there to begin with. I am totally motivated about the VIIth but I still have to take a week off here and there.

Any flamer weapons you use against us are at -1S while all of ours are +1S. And we're the kings of Zone Mortalis. Plus, if you're not a fan of the whole dragon motif, you have the option of using the pre-Vulkan heraldry/iconography of the Saturnyne Rams*. http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/29/XVIII_Leigon_Saturnyne_Ram.jpg (* There's a little known incident in Vulkan's past. Seems Ed'ie Hask'el tricked Vulkan into playing 'One Night in Heaven' at a high school party. Vulkan thought Sar'ah Lewis was coming into the closet with him, but instead... Well, anyway, it turned Vulkan off the whole Ram heraldry, so when he became a Primarch, he changed his legion's mascot to the Salamanders.)

OneOfOneThousand Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think I'll have to just shelve the XII for a while until I've finished painting my XX up (well, what I've got anyway) That makes sense and I suppose they aren't going anywhere or costing me either :) I don't half frustrate myself that I cant focus on one thing for long, terrible!
