HighMarshalAlex Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hello everyone! I'm just getting started in HH. I'm planning on placing my first order next week. I really like the idea of just putting a bunch of bodies on the table. I'm planning on playing Imperial Fists with the Stone Gauntlet RoW, with masses of footslogging infantry, maybe with an Achilles or two for added flavor. It's was an easy choice because the VIIth is my favorite legion hands down. However, I already have a massive Black Templar force for 40k, and I wonder if I might be happier doing something besides more sons of Dorn. Is there another Legion I should consider? Thanks!

hushrong Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well, Death Guard? I am only going on fluff but they were all about the unstoppable advance to crush their foes beneath their foot. Just one idea for thought.

RandomMarine Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ironhands do pretty well with the psuedo t5 and 15pt 6++ for all characters HighMarshalAlex 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339414-best-footslogging-legion/#findComment-4888433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arion Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Space Wolves have plenty of rules helping them get stuck in CC fast with footslogging infantry. Although if your primary army is already mainly on foot, I'd recommend building a different second army for the sake of variety (both painting wise and play wise) or you might grow bored.

Newtoncain Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Iron Warriors are good to, no moral checks from shooting. disease 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339414-best-footslogging-legion/#findComment-4889086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If you don't mind jump infantry, the Blood Angels can run a solid Assault Marine based list :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339414-best-footslogging-legion/#findComment-4889183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@verik115 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Pretty much any legion can do a good footslogging infantry army, but Death Guard, Iron Hands and World Eaters stand out for me.

Caillum Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Have you got a preference for Loyalists or Traitors? As has been mentioned already - Iron Hands, Blood Angels (jump packs) & Space Wolves all work well for Loyalists, and World Eaters, Iron Warriors & Death Guard are perfect for Traitors. That's not to say that any other Legion is unable to pull it off! But those 6 will probably do it better. However, if the VIIth is your Legion, maybe it's safe to stick with them. "Stone Gauntlet" is a hell of a thing - I face it regularly and it hurts (especially in Zone Mortalis). Write some lists for all different armies and see what looks good!

HighMarshalAlex Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks for the replies everyone! Sounds like a decent amount of legions do it well. I would've never thought of Blood Angels or Worls Eaters and footsloggers! My friends has all of the books, so I'll make a list for all of them and see what I like best. I'll let you know what I choose!
