Raktra Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Come on, let's go for positivity this week. What about your Legion makes you really go "HELL YEAH, MUCHACHOS!"?For me, I've always loved the concept of transhumanism through mechanics and mechanical augmentation, plus I only wear black. Ferrus is a badas, I mean metal freakin' arms for God's sake! And the keys of Hel are just badass. Add in Matthew Kane's incredible paintwork and you've got a killer for me. So come on, gimme some good vibes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316122-what-made-you-love-your-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 For me it's the Primarch that is the make or break part of the Legion. Hence Blood Angels are always at the back of my head, fighting against Space Wolves for dominance of said territory :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316122-what-made-you-love-your-legion/#findComment-4226610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_out Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Three letters. ADB. Edit: but seriously, the guy makes me want to build an army around what he writes. Oh and Sevatar.

Dantioch Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The Roman Empire in space, what's not to love? And Raktra what about "Shadrak bloody Meduson" the man himself?

Volth Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 My love for Space Wolves began with the cover of 2nd edition. They are less space monks and more combat shamans. I like their own way of honour, loyalty und stubornness. They follow the rules they find valuable without blind obedience. Except towards the Emperor who is without fail and the Primarch who is without fear. They are protectors of the weak and needy. So one of their hearts is that of a savage, the other of a knight. Also, they don't wear dresses. Pre-heresy Space Wolves are different. They are more of a dark counterpart to the 40k Wolves. Like their cruel former selves which they redeem with their incarnation in the 41. millenium. #Yay! #WOLFTIME Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316122-what-made-you-love-your-legion/#findComment-4226624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 What made me loved the Death Guard? The artwork in Collected Visions from all those years ago. I'm a WW1 nut addicted to trench warfare. Mk II and III look damned good in Death Guard colours. They get the job done. I've always loved the Dusk Raiders, so I go loyalists.

Remus Ventanus. Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The way the uLtramarines actually care about culture, humans and a peaceful way of life.

grand_master85 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I love various legions for various legions. But I've always had a soft spot for the Scars. I love their devil may care attitude, their love of speed on the open plains. I love their background steeped in content from Mongolian, Chinese and Japanese culture. Jaghatai Khan is an absolute badass. And Chris Wraight. The man has done more for the Scars in one book, a novella and a short story than anyone before him has. My other love are the Dark Angels. They were the very first Space Marine army I had. So much appealed to me; their own code of honour, the knightly medieval themes, the secrecy. I can't bear painting black, mind!

Brother Captain Lucian Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Easy question. Who broke the walls of Terra down? Who made fools of the yellow clowns? Weee dooo, weee do. (No offence meant towards any IF players, but really..) On a more serious note, i love the siege and cold calculating aspect of the IW legion. Big guns and trenches appeals to the WW1 nerd in me.

xxunphasedxx Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I am all about that Ferrus love, he is just such a great model and I love his fluff, he reminds me of Kenpachi from Bleach. I also love the steadfast determination of the Iron Hands, never retreat, never surrender. Personally my Preator and his men don't follow the ideology of cybernetics being the best thing ever as they are mostly comprised of Terran captains and leaders. They missed Istvann but managed to give some surviving loyalists a lift. You may be thinking "Why play Iron Hands if you don't do cybernetics and don't do Istvann V survivors?" well because my Preator and the rescued IH Preator are bitter rivals, one believing only the strong survive (typical Iron Hand mentality), the other (my Preator) believing that the strong should protect the weak (He was a outcast from his peers, but respected by Ferrus which is why he missed Istvann as he was always fighting his own campaign elsewhere). One is played as MOR (survivor) and the other just a tricked out Preator. I plan to get more cybernetics and stuff to represent the survivors and it will allow me to play a shattered legion as well. I have a hefty story involving the saving of Ferrus Manus's clone from fabius bile (from Imperfect) thanks mostly to Raven Guard survivors. After, on their way to Terra, some Word Bearers posing as "loyal", summon a Tzeentch daemon prince on their ship who throws them into the future upon his defeat. Boom, my army can now play against 40k without me scratching my head "how?" (I mostly play against 40k). Anyway, Its a long story and it isn't as Mary Sue as it sounds but writing it just made me love them all the more. Really, I am in love with the models, fluff, personality and the Primarch of the Iron Hands, It doesn't hurt that our rules are good as well.

Ordo Machinum Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Cypher... 30K... 40K... whenever. More recently, ADB for the scene of Curze taunting the Lion on how history may judge the Lion's actions or inactions regarding defending the Emperor... Lion: "Forgive me brother" Curze: "For what?" (Stabbity-stab-staaab) Lion: "This dishonourable blow. I don't care who knows the truth now or in ten thousand years. Loyalty is its own reward!" [may not be exactly quoted, but you get the idea] Ciao, R.

ElectricPaladin Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I looked at my pet bearded dragon Lír and I asked "which legion should I play, little buddy?" He looked at me and said "Salamanders, of course." And I said "of course!" and gave him another lobster roach. • • • But seriously, it was a pretty easy choice when I thought about it: I like reptiles. I like heroes. I like green. I like mech armies and close-range firefights, but... I'm "meh" on all-assault armies. So, Salamanders it is for me.

Doctor Perils Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Big guns, big tanks, siege warfare (pretty much the most important for of warfare for most of human history in Europe), get done despite everyone ing on them. Colours are classy: shiny but with a definite industrial dirty vibe to it, not just do goody good knights... And Perturabo and others actually want to build a better imperium for the whole of humanity, despite never being given the chance. Yep, the Fourth wish to create a true Imperium, but don't fall into the same "holier than thou" traps of the Salamanders, Blood Angels and Ultramarines. (plus, even if they can get a bit whiny, they're still totally badass ) EDIT: plus, Oblits.

Hesh Kadesh Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The tale of Eskrandor from the Index Astartes in White Dwarf. Sodding scrabble named dude killing guys with a Dragon Pauldron and cool asf sword. Also, the artwork on that next page. The Alpha Legion were my favourite because they got destroyed and had a cool picture. The second; Night Lords. Firstly becuase nanananananann have 4 raptors in your face ahahahahahahahaha. They sucked. But it was fun. Also, 'you'll never guess how I got here'.

Calas Typhon Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Well I have three really, Iron Warriors are at the forefront though. Iron Warriors: - Cold, logical, back down to nothing and undoubtedly Straightforward. - Actually get things done, know their job and do it well. - Pinpoint Bombardment, followed by superior tactics and devotion to a task. - Primarch is top form. Iron Hands: - Strength of body and strength of mind - Home world is pretty sweet, as well as their... human resources - The warfare in the fluff is top tier - Ferrus Manus is absolutely my favorite without a doubt after his part in Angel Exterminatus and somewhat after Fulgrim in the final chapters. Death Guard: - Resilient, and similar to the Iron Hands taking away the tin bitz - Calas Typhon is an absolute beast. Harder than a coffin nail. - The warfare they bring to the table appeals to me.

Wade Garrett Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 To me, 40K has always been about doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, whether it's Inquisitor Eisenhorn, Zso Sahaal, Colonel Schaeffer...and then ADB wrote The First Heretic and I got it. I finally got how the Word Bearers can believe that they and they alone are the true salvation of mankind, and why we will march into damnation and annihilation without hesitation and without ever looking back.

Firenze Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I read Legion and instantly started making a heresy army way before 30k models were released. Admittedly only got like, 15 men but I STARTED DAMMIT! Its now gotten silly with 5000 points of Alpha Legion with Knight support and the primarch himself...... I have a problem.
