Plaguecaster Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well getting my hands on the crusade army list book as as Horus Heresy massacre has tempted me to start a heresy army. However I am stuck on picking which Legion I want to play and was looking for advice. The two I am extremely interested in are both the Iron Hands as well as the Word Bearers both of their respective fluff really appeals to me as they are both the opposite side of each other (I also fancy both the Gal vorbak as well as Immortal squads). Which ever one I would choose would be heavily based around breacher squads as I ove the models and the idea of shield wielding astartes advancing on my enemy shields raised would be pretty cool. Any advice on what you reckon would be better as well as a idea example of what I should take to support a Breacher themed army Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308138-wb-or-ih-need-help-deciding-on-a-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Have you seen the picture of the Word Bearers Breacher from Tempest? One of the coolest of those pictures in my opinion.

Plaguecaster Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 That was what actually what motivated me to consider going WB I like Word bearers since they are the first true chaos legion of the heresy but I like Iron hands since they are the underdogs who were nearly annihilated but are coming back with a vengeance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308138-wb-or-ih-need-help-deciding-on-a-legion/#findComment-4057273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Rules-wise, I think the Iron Hands' Legion rules synergise best with a Breacher-heavy army. Having the -1 strength on incoming fire makes them that much tougher, and with the Head of the Gorgon RoW, any squads you leave in your deployment zone to sit on objectives will have Stubborn as well. What aspects of each Legion appeal to you most? (Also, visit the Community Assistance thread, there are loads of really interesting conversation around what motivates players to choose thier own respective Legions) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308138-wb-or-ih-need-help-deciding-on-a-legion/#findComment-4057555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitnam Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Given that this is the legion army list, any Legion could fit a breacher theme if you will it. I think IH are better suited for them, and I find the idea for Immortals pretty sweet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308138-wb-or-ih-need-help-deciding-on-a-legion/#findComment-4057565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Immortals are a very cool unit, thematically and modelwise. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308138-wb-or-ih-need-help-deciding-on-a-legion/#findComment-4057570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hmmm after a hard descision I have decided to go with the Iron hands mainly for their awesome fluff as well as liking some of their army rules (I love the immortals) I love that even though they have been devastated by the massacre they are still fighting bitterly to claim vengeance against the traitors. After some reading of the crusade army list how does this sound for a basic idea of a breachers themed IH list Iron father Primus Medicae 10 immortals Contemptor with volkite culverin and havoc launcher 10 breachers 10 breachers What would be some suggestion on what else to add as well as outfitting the squads? I was mainly looking for a 2000 or 2500pt army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308138-wb-or-ih-need-help-deciding-on-a-legion/#findComment-4058756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tharand Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You could just be like me and have both because I loved the models from both Legions.
