Hey guys! So my buddies and I are starting Horus Heresy in the near future and I've decided to play as the magniflorious Word Bearers (how could I resist the dudes that started the Heresy!?!). I already have Erebus, the Mhara Gal Corrupted Dreadnought, a Chaplain and a Praetor but I've been seriously considering using plastic Chaos minis for things like Termies, Tactical Squads, Assault marines etc.
I'm playing a late Heresy-era Word Bearers army, fully corrupt and given wholly to Chaos so I reckon it'd fit the general aesthetic to use a lot of these Chaos minis. I'm still going Forgeworld for unique units (just picked up some Gal Vorbak!) but I thought I'd save a bunch of money by going plastic for the more numerous infantry.
So here's my question: assuming you guys came up against such an army (with a lot of plastics mixed in with the FW stuff), would you think less of it or the player using it? I ask because among certain Heresy players I've seen, there seems to bit of resistance to plastics and a little bit of snobbery towards players with multiple non-Forgeworld elements in their army. So I'm wondering if this is a more general attitude among Heresy players. Obviously I want to stay true to theme so we all have fun with our Heresy project, so I just wanna make sure using plastic kits for 30k isn't something that's generally frowned upon. Silly question maybe, but I care what people think, sue me!
