Fahlnor Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hail, brothers, I'm getting into Heresy at the moment and I'm really excited about it. I was wondering, though, what the community would feel about transferring 40K units into 30K, so long as they're not stupid. The main thing I have in mind at the moment is Sanguinary Guard. I appreciate that the units aren't all equally balanced between 30K and 40K and I certainly wouldn't try and do this in anything other than a friendly game with friends. However, because I'm so new to 30K, I don't really understand what the ramifications might be (if there were any at all) of simply porting the Sanguinary Guard into the 30K universe. That makes me hesitant to suggest it to my friends. Does anybody have any thoughts or experience with anything like this? Ta!

Lord Blackwood Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Let me preface this by saying the opinions of the people responding to this thread including my own do not matter. We aren't going to be your primary opponents and we will not be the ones you will have to stand across the table from. That being said sanguinary guard should not be that difficult to port and if the game is between you and a friend as long as yer friend is down then that's y'all. One thing to note Marines in 30k do not have and they shall know no fear so you will probably have to adjust for that. Good luck with you lot decision Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321992-40k-units-in-heresy/#findComment-4381717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would say to make Sanguinary Guard balanced in 30k, they'd need a pts change. If you compare them to 30k era jump infantry with power weapons, they are significantly underpriced and that's not even considering the fact that they also have artificers armor. I'd say 40pts would really be the minimum when you consider power armored jump infantry with power weapons like reavers, palantine blades and rampagers cost a similar amount. Personally if you made a pts adjustment I definitely would let you run them, BA could really use a special unit like sanguinary guard, but as Bladewolf mentioned it's really up to the people you play with.

jeremy1391 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 You could run a unit of sanguinary guard as a legion command squad with jump packs. Command squad comes with artificer armor, command squad has access to power weapons, command squad can take jump packs of your praetor has one. Easy peasy.

Luna707 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I agree with Jeremy, I also think it would be fair to run them as a command squad moved into an elite slot instead of their normal place as the HQ retinue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321992-40k-units-in-heresy/#findComment-4382724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgoff Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'd wait if I where you. They gonna get some kind of special jump unit no doubt about it. Till then build all the other nice stuff like Tacticals or Volkite Culverines dudes. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321992-40k-units-in-heresy/#findComment-4384136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STC Logisengine Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I concur, the legion has Sanguinary Guard as their primarch's retinue, just as the 3d Legion has their Phoenix Guard, the XIVth the Deathshroud and the IV (the soon to be released) Perturabo's Iron Circle Battle-automata.There will be rules and models soon, keep the 40k in 40k, they will probably be quite different.

Theredknight Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 They wouldn't have the death mask rule, as he isn't dead yet. But could maybe use it as something else for fluff reasons. That said if people your playing with don't mind, then go for it. If your planning against others they might, but also might not. Bas are hopefully after prospero, I would imagine Feb next year at the heresy day.
