Hey fellow Horus Heresy Generals!

 I’m not completely wedded to this list though I’m hoping it would be fun to play with and against.

 

The Lion has been included in this list but I’m wondering if he’ll be overkill at 3k?

 

What size game would fit including a Primarch? I have heard they’re pretty over powered.
 

Do I need more basic troops? 
 

Like I said this is what I own so far.

 

Thanks in advance for any critique and suggestions!

The primarch thing depends on your group. Some groups like my area, primarchs are agreed upon beforehand and are not for just pick up games. Other groups may have different standards.

 

Why do you have three different big HQs? If it were me and I had to use the companion models, I would take Corswain with 10 companions in a land raider. More realistically I wouldnt use more than 5 and I would skip the shields I think. Find another Cataphract dude and field some sort of buffing Centurion with the Cenobium in the Spartan. I think off hand, Herald makes them Line or something like that.

 

Turn the jump pack Praetor into a chaplain or telepathy librarian.

 

Use the points from the Lion to buy a Dreadnought or two with claw and twin lascannons, plasma cannon or melta. You have plenty of slots. They are brutal and you will use them every game. 

 

No interempters? Dont like plasma flamer death?

Rhinos for the tacticals.

Thanks @Galron!

 

I basically made the list from everything I already own!

 

I can drop the Companions with jet packs as although I have the models they remain unbuilt.

 

Can I attach the HQ to the Assault Marines and Apothecary? I wasn’t sure so this was the main reason for the Jump Companion Squad as a retinue for the Praetor.
 

I can add another Terminator and a Herald to the Cenobium Knights (I’ll use the Cataphractii Praetor) should add more utility!

 

I don’t currently have any Interemptors so that’s why they’re not included.
