Warhammer 30K

[crazyredpraetorian]

I recently started a Pre-Heresy Space Wolf army. How many of you have or are working on Pre-Heresy armies? Did you model them correctly according to fluff(no MK7/8 armor, no aquilas, etc) or did you just paint yours in Pre-Heresy colors? When you play do you use correct Pre-Heresy weapon load out or do you use the current load out(ie: no LRC, etc)? I think it would be cool if everyone posted pics of their Pre-Heresy Marines.

I did a very loosely based pre-heresy [URL="http://shiftedmatrix.com/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=viewcategory &catid=3&Itemid=58"]Death Guard army[/URL].The intial idea was it was a 'Not long after the heresy' Death guard splinter force that distrusted the use of deamons and mutation. At least that was the inital idea. Eventually I caved and added deamons to the list :P

Years ago I started a pre-heresy [URL="http://shiftedmatrix.com/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=viewcategory &catid=5&Itemid=58"]World Eaters Army[/URL]. Limited chest Aquillas. I eventually grew tired of painting white (and finding out a friend had been working on a white and blue marine army...)

[Exitus Acta Probat]

I have an Istvaan III loyalists army that uses no aquila chestplates (excepting the Emp Chilluns, some termies, and vets that may have been given the right to wear them...such as Nathanial Garro) and went with nothing 'newer' than Beaky helmets.
I did the best I could to find older legs, resorting to an inordinately large number of jogging assault marine legs (though I couldn't get em all that way, almost all were).
Also, except a few interesting odd shoulderpads (vets and such) I managed to secure studded shoulder pads for everybody.

It took about a year to trade/beg for all the bitz in question, but it was worth it...a few pics...

and my Avatar is the autocannon termie.

the focus was on Death Guard, but a mingling of the other three represented legions.

I have always thought it would be interesting for GW to produce a codex for the Pre-Heresy Armies. You have your18 (->20) First Founding Chapters and then Orks, Eldar, Dark Eldar and some aliens equal insomeway to the Tyranids. Each army gets a page of rules (to be used to modify thier current codex) and a page or two of fluff. Perhaps a campaign guide for playing the Horus Heresy Camapign.

[Melissia]

Not at all, have no plans to for that matter. It's the most overdone of all Space Marine fluff, which says a lot (as all Space Marine fluff is overdone).

[crazyredpraetorian]

Then why did you post? I was asking for input and for people to share their projects, not negative comments.

[Melissia]

OKay then.

My project is to be negative about Marine related subjects. Especially the Horus Heresy era ones.

[Drew da Destroya]

Melissia, you could make a Sisters of Silence-themed army... they're clearly being built up so that when the SoB's fluff gets retconned (for a third time, right?) the SoS will be seen as their first incarnation. Hell, that one short story in "Tales of Heresy" pretty clearly states it.

But at least their bothering to build up to the retcon, meaning that your Sisters will eventually get a new book, and not just shelved.

I've missed you, Melissia, on the other forums.
