Show of hands: current and future armies

[apologist]

Just wanted to put together a quick (and very unscientific) reference list for how many of which Legion are already out there, and how many there will be.

To kick off, I collect (loyal) Ultramarines and (Warmaster-loyal :)) Iron Warriors. I don’t currently intended to start another Legion, but am open to the idea.

 

 

+Edit+

Quick collation of the info (Astartes only). Where no loyalty was noted, I've run with the default. 

 

Current Traitor forces

3 Iron Warriors

1 Word Bearers

2 Night Lords

2 Sons of Horus

2 Alpha Legion

3 Dark Angels

1 White Scars

2 Imperial Fists

[Gattopardo]

Interesting idea. I collect Dark Angels.

 

I'm thinking hard about starting another Legion. If I do it will be traitor, probably Emperor's Children. But possibly Word Bearers. I won't make a decision on this until I see the rules.....ah who am I kidding, in the end I'll decide based on aesthetic and theme, as usual. Which probably means EC.

[WrathOfTheLion]

Currently Dark Angels, Word Bearers and a smaller/more limited Space Wolves force.

 

Going to start Sons of Horus and some Raven Guard.

[Loquille]

Currently I have White Scars, Alpha Legion and Night Lords. The plan will be to expand the three of them. But I do get side-tracked at times. 

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

I don't have any current HH armies, but I'm going to grab some kind of Iron Tenth force once the new plastics drop. 

[MegaVolt87]

Currently Iron Warriors. Looking at either Ultramarines or Raven Guard for loyalists. 

[Shovellovin]

I've never played HH but am now ready to take the plunge. I will be putting together a Centurion style force of Imperial Fists. I'm hoping to play Siege of Terra inspired games.

[Noserenda]

In roughly size order: 
Alpha Legion 1st Armoured, Iron Warriors 15th Storm, Yellowjacket militia, Sisters of Silence Alabaster Lynx Cadre, House Gevauden Knights, Various Mechanicum Taghmata and House Gevauden bonded infantry (Solar Auxilia) 

Had to sell off my White Scars, Blood Angels and a bunch of Alpha legion over the years :( 

[bushman101]

Blood Angels

 

If I expand, it will be into another RoW. It will be more practical to find another way to play using models I already have.

[Tyrannicide]

Currently have 3 HH armies in the works: Sons of Horus, Imperial Fists, and Blood Angels.

 

Thinking about starting a small force of Alpha Legion. Eventually would like to have at least characters/kill teams from all the legions.

[TheTrans]

Current: Dark Mechanicum, Thunderwarriors (Blackshields) w/ Milita support

Future: Sons of Horus terminator company w/ Solar Aux support

[Boytoy]

have a SW army, starting a Siege-era EC army, with a smaller WE contingent because i love converting berserkers lol

[Claws and Effect]

Currently have about 4500-5000 points of Raven Guard. I plan to expand that with some Mechanicum painted as Kiavahran Tech Guild. Currently painting a Shadowsword/Stormsword for that army.

 

I'm also building toward a Shattered Legions force consisting of Raven Guard, Salamanders, and Iron Hands.

 

For my traitor Legion I'm going to go with Alpha Legion because I have a good lore excuse to use Raven Guard models for some units.

 

My wife plays Blood Angels with probably 7000 points of them. She'll be starting on her Thunderhawk as soon as it's warm enough to prime it. And she has a slow burn Night Lords project she's working on.

[TrawlingCleaner]

I'm starting totally new to 30k with Iron Hands and I may do half of the starter set as Sons of Horus. Armour marks aren't a huge problem for me, I'll be mixing and matching with Mk3 and Mk4 parts I've been saving for a while to make a hodgepodge looking force. For the Iron Hands especially, I'd imagine getting their hands on any armour at all wouldn't be sniffed at

[ChargingSoll]

Got a dark angel and a night lords army, both infantry based. Looking to use the up coming box set for sons of horus.

[Freakshow668]

Currently collecting Dark Angels (although there aren't yet enough of them to call an army).

Planning to collect Alpha Legion and Night Lords.

[No Foes Remain]

I currently have 1,000 points of Sons of Horus back on my building table, I started this a while ago but stopped with all the uncertainty surrounding 30k but getting back into it again.

 

I also have planned some Ultramarine forces, one formed of pre-primarch guys with older gear and equipment with a darker tone of blue (and more bronze/iron rather than the gold/silver) and one newer force with much better gear and equipment and much more brighter shiney colours.

 

With the recent purchase of Rann and Zephon as well as Kill-team Cassius I've found myself with a Blood Angels Praetor and Librarian and a Imperial Fist Praetor and Techmarine so I guess I'm going to be doing a force of those at some point, probably starting off as a allied force then building into their own.

 

I also have the idea of doing some more allies for both my SoH and Ultras, just to break up the painting of the same Legions also to add to the more 'chaotic' element of the Heresy. Traitor forces grouping up and ravaging ahead of the main force and Loyalist grouping together to resist the Traitors as much as they can.

[painting.for.my.sanity]

I currently do not collect Horus Heresy.

 

I'm planning to do a Templar Brethren-styled force that works on its own in 30k, but that could be blended into my existing 40k Black Templars force and not look totally out of place.

[Varyn]

Currently Sons of Horus, definitely considering another legion for 2.0, but undecided which one yet

[The Scorpion]

I'm waiting for the 40k CSM reveals, which allegedly have renegade guard, and MUTANTS.

 

If even one of these were to be true, then making a Warp Cults army wouldn't be too out of the question.

[Corswain]

Currently Night Lords and Iron Warriors. Not a gamer so Traitor for both, I guess. Still undecided on future projects. Probably Alpha Legion.

[infyrana]

Have a collection of Death Guard (loyalist) and a potential Raven Guard collection which in limbo.

[Balthamal]

Currently have about 5k of Alpha Legion. Considering Dark Angels or going back to the Night Lords in future.

[Harrowmaster]

I've got loyalist IH, traitor AL and loyalist militia, not planning on starting a new force anytime soon (though that doesn't stop me having ideas  )

[darkhorse0607]

Iron Warriors mainly, slowly building up my Ultramarines, World Eaters, Sons of Horus and Blood Angels
