Horus Heresy: Imperial Fists Legion

 

With pledging to the Sons of Horus, I do want to have a second army available for anyone who pops over to play a game. As I had long time ago purchased some Imperial Fists models it only seems right to finish them off and have a small force available. I think once I have painted the Templar Brethren and a couple of character models it will be just the box set for them as an army.

Below are their Legion Rules

This really focuses the force into being an Auto weapon and Bolt Weapon heavy army, why not make use of that +1 To Hit Rolls. 

This looks like a great Advanced Reaction, allowing an Imperial Fists unit to tie up an enemy unit that gets a little to close for comfort. If they break that unit it could lead the Imperial Fists punching through the front line and causing havoc in the back field.

Templar Assault allows the Imperial Fists to take units of Templar Brethren as Troop choices. So expect to see lots of black armoured Templar's in the field of yellow armoured Imperial Fists.

Just need to nail down the paint scheme for the standard Imperial Fists so that I can get them painted quickly. 

Is anyone else hitting up with 2 forces for HH?

Horus Heresy: Sons of Horus Legion

 

The Horus Heresy Hype train is at full speed on the Warhammer Community page, I have been following the updates daily hoping that my Legion would be next. Finally yesterday the true and only Legion had their day in the sun. Yes the Sons of Horus finally got their Legion update.

The XVI legion like to get up close and personal like their World Eater brothers, but unlike those blood frothing lunatics do not suffer the red mist.

With Merciless Fighters this is leaning me towards building a fast close combat focused army. With the new box set not being far away I am going to make the Terminator squad geared up for close combat and all those MkVI marines are getting those lovely chainblade attachments.

The Death Dealers advanced reaction seems a little odd to me. It reads fine all the way through and is seemingly a way to get an extra round of shooting with a unit. It is just the last sentence that seems odd to me that the models removed as casualties still get to shoot. I guess once I play through with it a couple of times it will make more sense.

With the wife away at football tomorrow this is going to give me the chance to complete my Terminators and first squad of marines.

I have spent so much time reading blogs and watching You Tube videos this week on unboxings and play throughs I am so stoked for this release. Hopefully it is on pre-order before I go on holiday fngers crossed.

With my soul given to the Sons of Horus what legion are you picking? Drop a comment below 

Horus Heresy: Imperial Fists Legion Templar Brethren

 Today's builds are 5 Imperial Fist Templar Brethren, as their armour is mainly black, thought would get it done as the same time as the Justaerin Terminators. Have to say I did not enjoy this build lots of sub section arms, so lots of pinning and gluing and drying. The swords also needed a bit of work in terms of straightening and some filling. However I think alongside Sigismund they will look great on the table. Check back on progress next week.

Horus Heresy: Sons of Horus Justaerin Terminators

 

With the Horus Heresy on the horizon thought it was time to have a look through my plastic and resin pile and work my way through some of my back log. I found a box of Justaerin Terminators and weapons pack. So thought start my Sons of Horus force with the 'Point of the Spear'. Once the temp drops today I will get the undercoat on and then start work on the armour. I am looking forward to the deep red shoulder pads depicted in the book and the FW webpage.
