Title: which Legion to build...
Description: to start a 30k army


Torg - October 12, 2009 07:44 AM (GMT)
Hey guys,until now I've only been
painting ramdom mini's just to paint, :)
but haven't focused my attention on
a 30k army, :) and I need some help... :unsure:
So I have attached this poll for advise. :D

Gotta be Dark Angels.

They were the first, the greatest.

And they have awesome modelling opportunities through background, diversified allegiances and generally exude coolness!


But I would say that as a long standing Dark Angel player.



Overall I'd say look at each legion in the following ways:

1. What colours you like/dislike painting.

2. What background hooks you particularly like.

3. Anything that grabs your interest in a specific legion etc.

Hope that helps :)

diversified allegiances

They betrayed themselves and live in shame.

Go for a glorious legion, not self-pitying hermits!

Voted White Scars as we rarely see them PH.

I voted for Fists as i really like seeing in their pre-heresy version but i would actually vote for Raven Guard if it was up there.I think i only ever saw one guy do pre-heresy RG...


Cheers! :)

Voted Blood Angels cos all I ever seem to do is paint red marines... :rolleyes:

Plus Sanguinius is cool and not at all gay. Unlike....

Well i think you forgot someone! *cough* Thousand Sons *cough*

Torg - October 12, 2009 11:37 PM (GMT)
Actually Raven guard is up there but they only
let me have that many, <_< (I was going to put each Legion...)So Ultras etc means any of the ones like say Raven gurd or Luna wolves or Sallies. :)

DaemonlordAbraxes - October 13, 2009 12:08 AM (GMT)
I Pick THOUSAND SONS!!!!!11!! Why did so many people vote for Night Lords?

Mortarion - October 13, 2009 11:12 AM (GMT)
Voted Night Lords coz we jus tdont see enough of them!

Torg - October 13, 2009 01:15 PM (GMT)
Night Lords might be interesting to play for me
and not much has changed with them,plus I like the idea of incorperating the
Misfits (Die,Die my darling!(bangs head))old and new members into the army..
(Hmmm...)Wonder how to make Danzig into a mini.... :)
Which ever the army, I'm sure it'll be a good one and suprise the heck out of my CDA Idahoan 40kers....

NIGHT LORDS....

but the lack of fluff makes it a bit though to build. otherwise anything is fun in 30k ;)

I have been looking at BA

Ah the perennial question!

I would have a long and hard think about which legion you like the sound of the most (which one excites you?!), ideas you have for painting and modelling etc.

I certainly think the traitor legions are easiest, simply because you can instantly differentiate your army as being 30k - with a lot of the loyalist legions its a lot less apparent. Having said that, I can imagine the Night Lords looking quite similar in style to how they do now (although I guess back then the horns were only painted on!)

Nicola from my local GW said to imagine who you would most like to spend a night in the pub with.

ShroudFilm - October 13, 2009 06:01 PM (GMT)
Ugh... imagine getting Fulgrim and Sanguinius drunk... they'd drag you into the back room and take your innocence away... :(

Maratheus - October 13, 2009 08:05 PM (GMT)
Or Mortarion. Jeez, that guy drinks literally everybody under the table... <_<
I think people have given some good suggestions so I have nothing else to add than a lame joke. :)

That's what made me choose EC ;)

I voted Night Lords, but if you went drinking with Curze he might decide he needed your skin for something...

Torg - October 13, 2009 11:36 PM (GMT)
Actually from all the painting I've done I could actually do any,
none of them wouldn't be that hard to paint(I already made a good Curze model
if I do go Night Lords)So any would work. :)

DaemonlordAbraxes - October 13, 2009 11:45 PM (GMT)
Can anyone say random drinking games with Morty and Russ?

Torg - October 14, 2009 05:55 AM (GMT)
Yeah Russ, a Keg of Ale or Mead
and Morty a Goblet of the most Poisonus Liquor. :D
The other reason I need a good one to play a 30k game is to represent
you guys so gamers up here will end up asking where I got some of the ideas...
Plus there is nobody up here to play a Pre-heresy army along side.. :(
Night Lords eh?sounds interesting.... <_<

Torg - October 15, 2009 10:22 PM (GMT)
Night Lords eh?I guess Night Lords it is! :D :ph43r:

Feytor - October 17, 2009 08:29 AM (GMT)
Why no death guard? :(

I.. I .. I don't know where to begin with this :lol:

Torg - October 18, 2009 06:41 AM (GMT)
The Night Lords sounds interesting
as I have a good Curze model I made myself
Plus I have made the majority of the
HQ models.
However each of the Legions I have started on.
Plus the 40k stuff of the Imperials (All the current SW,DA,
and Ultras,most of the BA both Sallies,the new Khan model,plus the forces of chaos
(I have 2 bookcases FULL of mini's,)so the idea of re vamping most of them into a workable Legion to play with is sweet to me!Plus I have stuff I haven't even painted,
(Including a Baneblade!) :( :)
(I have way too much time on my hands....)
And @Feytor it says Ultras...etc, ;) (That includes Death guard..)
That means all the rest of the legions
(I was trying to go down the list but the poll only let me have that many so I said Ultras etc...)
