Word Bearers @ 1500pts (post-ish Heresy)


Stumpy Heaven

Recommended Posts

Ok I'm a regular WHFB and FOW (and ex WM) player and have along with a group of other New Zealand gamers launched into the Forgeworld 30k Horus Heresy system. The aim is to build a 1500pt Heresy era army each (loyalist or traitor) in time for a series of campaign tournaments at the end of 2013. Thing is I have no idea how to build a decent 30k/40k list as i've never played the game and only recently started reading the HH books and GW rule sets.

 

(First painting efforts can be found here)

 

So I'm looking for some general advice as this list will act as a purchasing/painting guide for the next 8-9 months.

 

So here goes.... (absence of big tanks, flyers etc is due to my play style and the fact that I really dont like them that much).

Have started on unit of 5 x MkIII Legion Iron armoured marines and 5 x MkIV armoured variants, with some GW bits added. Aim to kit out LTS with MkIII armour as it looks the best and fits the fluff from the various HH novels...
