My friend suggested that rend should just be a +2 caf. It brings them to the same strength as assault marines but assault marines should always get the charge.

Any advice on the newer Baneblade variants? I’ve bought a bunch but can’t play yet, so I’m wondering which I should paint first.

Nice discussion. Personally I think Imperial Fists should been the top of above average or even the bottom of the top tier. Giving practically all infantry accurate when infantry is so good and really bumps up the damage output. Obviously combining them with one of the infiltrating detachments is very very strong.

They suck. Utter garbage. Murdered with the nerf bat. Another reason to stick with HH 1st edition.

HERESAY!!! COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT THE NEW LI UNITS, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS

Two years and three Mechanicum army boxes later this video is very useful. Anyway, I think 2x30 Adsecularis, 2x3 Thallax with Multi Melta and Meltabombs, 2x6 Thallax (I think Photon Thrusters are useful here due to Blind) are quite good "core". Trio of Triatos will wait for me cobbling together Myrmidons and Tech-Priest Auxilia. I agree with Castellax being pants outside of Cybernetica, 6 single robots (or, if I somehow pool enough money for fourth box, 4x1 Darkfire + 2x2 MMelta ones) is probably best way of using those.

Also of note its generally always worth taking the lascannons as they are the only sponson weapon that isn't defensive. That means that if you get a weapon destroyed result against it you can take one of them off instead of the main tank gun.......which you would have no choice on with heavy bolters or volkite.

From the tournament results I have seen, the meta seems to be legion infantry spam coupled with a warmaster titan.

I got a Phalanx squad armed with Volkite, i call it the death ray wall

Now that it's summer 2024, we've seen that some of the units (characters, at least) in this PDF now have proper rules and even models coming out in Supplements like Beta-Garmon and Cthonia. Hopefully many of these listings in the PDF are just placeholders in that vein. Also, there's one reason Nullificators exist (for all intents and purposes) in HH2.0: you can give every model in the unit a Disintegrator.

Thank you

8:07 counterpoint, I love it and my playmates regularly forget I have 72" and as consequence loose 5+ marines of range Support marines... Or their warlord because it randomly scatters on its head. L

Just started Legion imperialis last week.all Legion were awesome. And I am starting D.A Legion.

Absolutely love your content, it's been a godsend to me after only just getting into HH in the middle of 2024.

Great channel Been recently endowed with several Horus heresy armies. A wargaming buddy for 30 odd years recently passed away. I really appreciate the armies and toys but would trade all I own to be able to hang out and play with Paul again. Doing my best to lose myself in heresy stuff and your videos are really helpful. Thank you.

Great stuff. Thank you

Slowly ticking off your heresy videos one by one. I've set a heresy merseyside Facebook page up because there wasn't one. Trying to create a connected merseyside heresy gaming community so myself and others can connect and play.

Appreciate all the content put out, curious if anyone has solid recommendations on World Eaters (Crimson Path) using a Mechanicum allied detachment? Would love to buy a Thanatar even if it doesn't get fielded (such an awesome model)

Punisher actually, amazingly, makes use of the second part of the EC legion trait, firing defensive weapons at +1BS in reactions. Suddenly that plays mind games with your opponent when the Sicaran is substantially more effective in their turn than yours!

Would love to hear your thoughts on all the stuff thats come out since, now that the game has had a bit of time. Its been a slow burn but that suits my hobby pace just fine!

Maybe someone gave this idea in the comment section already, but loadouts I was considering would be Swarmer Misslies & Conversion Beam Dissoluter, Plasma Blastgun & Vulcan Mega-Bolter, Volkite & Melta, and twin turbo lasers. Mixing weapons based on ranges. I have 4 warhounds to work with currently

Your accent sounds wirral/ chesire. Im from the wirral and just stsrting heresy, subbed and hoping to pick up a few tips. Hopefully my box will land next week. It seems just building everything as standard is not the way with this box.

Hi, no more love for LI ? Last vid is 4 months old..All the best

100% appreciate your take on Legions Imperalis. Since GW will likely ignore the bad game design choices, I hope the community eventually comes up with a “community FAQ” for more fun LI games with your mates, outside of tournaments.

Don’t forget that Primarchs are not Infantry, so Russ gains WS9(!) on the charge and thus can only be hit on 6+ even by other Primarchs at WS8.😊

solar aux ultra pattern at full 20 sections and 10 command is 130 lads, id though medics in two

Would love to see this info with pictures of the bases ... As a total newbie, I'm having a real struggle to figure out how this all works

Evening Hearesy. My son are now delving into the devil of the detail. Question i had for you regarding HQ/Command Squad. Now the starter set description lists two command squads. When we look at the section on building a formation. A single HQ detachment is listed for the compulsory requirement alongside 2 x cores and a single support. So would the 2nd command squad availablen in the box set.....is that used to make another formation?

I hope that 30k appeals more to the thematic minded players. It is reasonable to assume that anyone picking this game up is going to care more about building a reasonable, lore accurate force rather than power-gaming to the point where no one is going to want to play against you.

Love your videos man

Evening Hearesy. We've just bought the starter set plus the battlegroups for the Astartes and the Solar Auxilar. I justvhad a question having looked at the main rulebook. Data cards for units not in the rulebook do we need to buy the other book or is it best just to get the datacard packs? Appreciate your feedback

Hey ! Love your content for heresy in general ! Will you do the flyers for marines and auxilia in imperialis ? Take care !

Since I like to have a diverse miniature collection and prefer mixed-arms, avoiding three of the four main pitfalls is easy. However, trying to be less efficient on purpose is really hard. I may happen to run one or two suboptimal units because they are pet units of mine. But beyond that, purposefully replacing strong options with weaker ones just feels so bad to me.

Glad to hear that Volkite Culverins work in multiple roles and are actually good. Because the way they look and the way they are carried makes a squad of Marines with them look really awesome. And they come in the same box as the lascannons, the other great weapon option!

Great video - thanks 👍 Any chance of similar for knights?

I built my first Contemptor with melta cannon and fist with melta gun. It just made sense to pair such similar weapons. And the short range felt less of an issue, since I want to get close to punch stuff with that powerful fist. Seems like I unknowingly hit one of your recommended loadouts. My second Contemptor is supposed to be more anti-infantry, but I wasn't sure about the loadout. After watching your video, I think I will go with plasma cannon with fist and plasma blaster. Didn't realize that it works so well against high armor infantry. And the big plasma cannon on a dreadnought just looks really cool.

Wouldn't making some sort of Malcador siege tank build also make sense? Puttings demolisher cannon as hull mounted and packing all other slots with heavy bolters. So we can possibli hit building that we are trying to storm and infantry inside it?

I run two units of ten for my raven guard, I play big games

Good morning. Really enjoyed this video. My son and i are just starting in Legion Imperialis. Picking up the starter set and the new Battlegroup set at the end of June. Catching up on your content on what we should purchase next. Points wise what does the starter set give one for both armies? What would you recommend in expansions.

I fall i to this trap evwry bloody time wiith Cataphractii, "oh ill just stick this in, or that, or this" 5-600 points later 🤮

I'm greatly, greatly confused at the Inferno Gun being A tier. Had it had the old Torrent rule to give it some more range and some strong angle-game i might agree, but its SO SHORT and a Warhound getting that close to infantry is usually bad news. I struggle to even get the Infernus tanks to get any worth and theyre way cheaper for an AP1 version of that gun

"Gamesworkshop somehow always misvalues a reroll" oh boy aint that the truth.... 40k in the past is absolutely covered in GW giving some armies rerolls everywhere almost for free, and it baffles me. Sure i'd rather 3+ to hit vs 5+ with rerolls but thats about it, if i hit better than 5s if i can get a reroll it easily outscales better BS.

Flamers might be decent now that we got Dracosans, since as far as i can tell you can disembark when a transport Marches...for some reason....but i still think theyre best as just "extra bodies" since you cannot avoid buying them, might as well use them.

Great show! Much appreciated!

Just came across your channel. I always thought Imperialus was the right scale for Horus Heresy with seeing the full size of these battles with titans, armour and aircraft. I also like 28mm so it's a hard decision between Age of DARKNESS or Imperialus

Seems good

I’m still doing another masters, I’ll be done in December, but I bought a bunch of SA to build into an army because I think everyone will play marines. I have no time to build everything but I appreciate your thoughts. It sounds like SA assault options are great but their transport options aren’t good, so maybe that was meant to balance marines’ transport capacity? Maybe they wanted this to be an army that relies on good positioning to achieve good combat results? Thanks for your thoughts, I got a mishmash of SA kits from Amazon to build up assuming there are local players here in the DC area.

Baneblades are great models but play wise not so good, pt for pt lemons and macadamias put out more devastation and survive longer.

Have a question about sponsons. The rules state 1 laz cannon shot for sponsons ( each tank having 2 sponsons ) and 1 shot for a hull mounted laz cannon. So would you only have 2 shots total as per the verbage in the rule book. Or 3 as logically you have 3 of the same weapon.

They should really add a points cost to legion traits. At 35pts for a basic marine base they are already too cheap when compared to 30pts for las troops
