Daenerys Targaryen Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Not exactly, just more or les going to keep pushing forwards with my 1kSons, and all the various little side projects I've been wanting to do as part of a big, shiny 'Warzone Fenris' collection. I've only put together a couple test models for Alpha Legion, and a couple Renegade warbands, (The Scourged, Oracles of Change & Magma Hounds). However, with the loss of all formations, obviously I'm not touching anything now until we see how force orgs are going to unfold. Then there's all the Daemons to keep moving forwards with... But as mentioned by a few others, I won't be buying anything CSM anymore until we get an actual god damned model range!!

Excessus Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'm sticking with my Alpha Legion as usual. Why not just say you can't decide and play any chapter/legion?

DeadFingers Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 If anything, the announcement of the 8th has given me the push I needed to stop being lazy and fiddling with side projects and finally focus on my main army, which just happens to be Nurgle CSM. I say "main army" but the big goal is having four god-aligned armies, one Undivided and one DarkMech, but my Nurgle Marines are the only ones that can be called an army right now. Get an Alpha Legion one and you're set... That's the twist, he's had an Alpha Legion avatar ALL ALONG!

Plaguecaster Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Heh I expect the number of Nurgle armies to sky rocket once the starter set hits :D good thing I played Nurgle before it was cool ;) (if that's possible :D ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333696-anyone-switching-legions-for-8e/page/2/#findComment-4745531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Midnight Blue, through and through. YEAH! *Scream it like its the opening credits of CSI. --- Going to stick with my EC until I get the army painted but going to get a bit of everything (already have AL gearing up among others) and hopefully start a Black Crusade.

Raven1 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I do plan on using either Black Legion or Word Bearers as a sort of parent organization just to maybe make more sense of combining cults and using non-cult marines or other forces.

hushrong Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I do plan on using either Black Legion or Word Bearers as a sort of parent organization just to maybe make more sense of combining cults and using non-cult marines or other forces. I tried to do it before but did not get far. Hopefully in 8th I can make some headway. For myself I like the idea of the Black Legion leading collected warbands of other traitor legions as an incursion force. It just seems like a good thematic army to build when you want everything. Heck, I had been thinking about making an Alpha Legion army with a few actual marines painted in XX colors. The rest would be painted in loyalist colors with these funny squiggly lines hidden on them that look like hydras... This is all part of a crazy idea to build several Herald of Ruins and Shadow War teams that I can combine together into larger armies to use in 40k.

Raven1 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I like it thematically, but do I want to paint red or black. I hear black is surprisingly difficult.

Prot Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I have been through so many Chaos armies. My loyalist armies were not so great in 7th, but that's not entirely true as I had a good run with Ultra's. Grey Knights were pretty bad, Deathwatch probably the worst in 7th. But Chaos wise... so many armies over the years. I still have KDK, World Eaters, and of course Thousand Sons. - Deathguard: Did these guys a few years ago and honestly I'm not as smitten with the models as I thought I'd be. But I know many will love them. - World Eaters: Years of chasing after people only to get shot in the face by some race that looks like a fish yet walks like a mule. Now 8th promises to change that (to some degree). THAT is very tempting. - KDK: same as above except far more successful than World Eaters. I've just never been a huge Daemon fan and that is what made the army work. (Wonder how on earth they will work in 8th considering all the changes to 'free' and summoning, and formations) - Black Legion: This is the army I've wanted to love for years. Just never got into it. I tried so many times but it was always lacking in the sort of depth and character that I look for. - Thousand Sons: Man did I play the crud out of this army in 7th. I think I love some aspects of it as much as I hate others. (I really hate being pigeon holed). I know myself well enough to admit I WILL be thoroughly tempted by new Havoks, Traitor Marines, etc. The BIG question is: Do the new (yet to be released units) mesh well with keywords like: "Thousand Sons" or "Tzeentch" or whatever gets me point for being fluff??? Thousand Sons were tremendously tactical for me to play in 7th. I loved trying every variant of them within the Grand Coven Detachment, but I did fatigue of the book keeping. The models are still my favorite. The background (going as far back as the Heresy) is amongst my favourite. The characters are all deeply flawed and quite lovable to me. I want some small but critical things to change, but I do love this army. I don't think there is any models I've enjoyed painting more than Magnus, Ahriman and Exalted Sorcs.

Redtoof Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sticking with Alpha Legion. Interested to see how they fit with marks/cult units in the new edition though, I quite fancy some cheeky not-thousand sons rubricae.

Knight of the Raven Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 There is only room for Word Bearers in my heart... but if the updated 'undivided' plastics are the same size as the primaris, my lone Dark-Vengeance-bolter-chosen-turned-into-an-aspiring-champion shall remain very lonely indeed...

Slave to Darkness Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Been playing Nurgle since Realms of Chaos, not gonna change. But I also have Word Bearers, Iron Warriors, Emperors Children, Daemons, Renegade Guard, and a few World Eaters and Tzeentch Renegades. I dont think I need to start a new army, maybe Renegade Nucolamarines for the lulz.

Shard of Magnus Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm jumping back to chaos for 8e. Shelving my Word Bearers (who are mostly switched to 30k at this point) and KDK for Thousand Sons. Curse those pretty looking models.

Lord Morgrim Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I sold off all my 40k stuff being the impulsive twit I am. So I am starting from scratch, I will rebuild my Tsons because the new models rock and Ahriman was always my favourite and I am glad to see the new model is closer to the Jess Goodwin concept art. I am tempted to start a Word Bearers army with the new box set. Death Guard Elites and convert the Primaris into Word Bearers. Always wanted to do WB ever since that old PS game, was it Chaos Gate?

El_Dicko Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 my first purchase in 14 years(after selling off everything before heading to college), was the BaC box. I'm still not sure what to do with them and all the other bitz I've scored off of eBay. My first move was to start green stuffing that contemptor for the love of Nurgle though so that army is definitely in the works. I wanted to build up some kind of Tzeentchian counter point army(I'm envisioning a daemon world that all my dudes are based on). Waiting to see what the new marine toys look like for conversion fodder, and to see if a tank heavy force is going to be viable. Steel Bretheren maybe?

ChazSexington Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Sticking to my guns with the Alpha Legion, but I'll continue my Red Corsairs, Fallen Angels, and maybe start a tiny force of Thousand Sons.

Celtic_cauldron Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Already playing 8 Legions since 2nd Ed., out of 9, so no switchings for me but I will expend most of them. Meanwhile, I'm likely to add some Khorne Daemonkins: most probably the Eightscarred.
