I think that this is the best argument for playing legions not known for the Siege of Terra as though they were there. The legions were huge and the heresy threw the entire galaxy into turmoil. It is possible, and even likely, that a couple hundred of each loyalist legion was at Terra when the Siege got to full steam. They likely wouldn't be recruiting inductii from Terra, the big three would take those since they had far greater authority, and wouldn't be in any big roles.

At one point my Salamander will be picking up an inductii squad in MkVII. I know that the Aquila pattern was late heresy and, even then, only for a couple of legions but it is by far my favorite mark of power armor and I'm saddened that it doesn't have a place in the games any more. I figure that the Salamanders, if anybody, are equipped to produce them quickly and efficiently and there were some Salamanders in the Sol System that might have gotten the info to Nocturne.

Unironically, the Imperium are the “Good Guys”. No, I will not be explaining. Heck, I’m not even checking for responses. *This message is brought to you by your local Ordos Agent.*

From what I've read, Saturnine was more common at the beginning of the Crusade than at the end, similar to volkite. Both technologies proved too difficult to maintain, so they became rarer with time.

In an era of truly terrible and baffling lore decisions by GW, this might actually be the worst. Hopefully, since it requires the Emperor to get off the throne, it'll never matter.

Imagine being the traitor marines hiding behind that wall when he just coolaid mans his way through it. Glorious.

On an official, it is in a novel or rulebook level, I'm inclined to say no. I'd love to see something official in that capacity but that'd take some impressive work. Unofficially, I'd be inclined to say yes. There are a lot of legion fragments and small forces that didn't link up with the larger narratives in the Horus Heresy. These forces did their best to contribute to the war effort in some capacity and likely fought all sorts of foes.

In the Emperor's name and by his will, the ten thousand stand ready for battle, their vow fulfilled.

Paint the sword/wing icon on it to make the point clear and then, yes.

I would make a few changes to the Codex to make Agents a stand-alone army. Add the three assassins that have models but no rules. Use them to fill in some of the gaps in the army (infocite = anti-tank and poisoner = anti-monster) Remove dataslates that are explicitly in other codices (except the rhino) Create an army rule that allows Agents armies to take limited selections from other armies (with adjustments to their rules to fit, such as the changes to sisters) Add inquisition of other transport models (land raider, valkyrie, etc.) Adjust a unit or two to be more elite units representing groups of mini-characters (the agents unit is perfect for this) Adjust the detachments rules to focus on rules that buff their appropriate units (to allow thematic armies but that don't penalize you for not facing the appropriate foe)

I was painting away on my vow and it occurred to me that I have a thunderhawk waiting for the Salamanders I plan to make after I’ve got my custodes done. How many points is a thunderhawk worth? I’d guess reaver level but it might be warhound.

I got it by not doing the math at all. I copied the pledge of another poster, edited it, and forgot to change the points.

I, librisrouge, head the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 13 custodians and 1 dreadnought for 16 pts for the Glory of the Emperor, the Imperium of Mankind, Heresy Stronghold, and in defiance of the Warmaster on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until the end of the year.

The hand you can barely see is a tad too small to be a dreadnought. Am I the only one worried about the introduction of the damage stat? It feels similar to what happened to 40k and I don't want HH to become 40k.

I name my armigers but change them up from the knight visually. House Pelletier's colors are: Blue - Loyalty Silver - Purity Gold - Generosity Armigers are forbidden from having gold. They're either watchmen (and thus, peasants) or squires (and thus, servants). What they have is given by the house, so they have nothing of their own to be generous with until they ascend to full knighthood. Perhaps some visual marker could work for your house to justify the naming of the smaller machines.
