 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj3ENSVogTo quote:One evening as panascope was playing Horus Heresy, bulbasaur with a sharp sword entered, demanding wither his models or his life. Welcome to the Horus Heresy 2.0! After spending several years on life support, Horus Heresy is getting a new edition, with support from Games Workshop instead of Forgeworld, refreshed rules for every legion, lots of new plastics coming, and plenty of hype. While 40k has once again turned into a bloated mess featuring space clowns among the top armies, Heresy 2.0 offers intense firefights, brutal close combats, and fantastically sculpted models.      As a special treat, early versions of the rules were leaked to the unwashed masses a few weeks ago, you can find these playtest rules here: Core Rules Traitor Rules Loyalist Rules Note that the Phase 1 traitor rules are a bit older, and are liable to change between now and release. Don't let this stop you from making huge posts about the balance though. In addition to the new release, we'll be getting a brand new box set, priced at 180squid/225burgerbux, that comes with basically a complete army for a new player (or two smaller forces if you split it with a friend [editor's note: nobody has friends]):  Big rules changes in 2.0 include sweeping changes to the Outflank and Deep Strike rules, the introduction of Reactions that can be taken by the non-active player, streamlining of many existing rules and reduction of RNG for things like warlord traits. Overall it's a very welcome change. The Warhammer Community website is running a preview of the legions and their rules every day until they've done all 18.

From the previous thread:wins32767 posted:So I haven’t played since like rogue trader/first edition but I found the full company of marines I’d assembled back in the 90s. It looks like 40k has mainly moved on from my old stuff, would 30k be a good place to use all those old models (including like 4 units of og rogue trader era marines? This is the perfect game to use those old models, and you should feel encouraged to do so.

The timeline for me of "Oh there's an entire version of the game dedicated to HH, my favorite part of the Warhammer content I've consumed?" to "Oh, it seems expensive. Nevermind." to "Oh there's a new version coming out that's the perfect onboarding for the tabletop game and is affordable?" was maybe 2 weeks so, well played GW.

Yeah it rules, and this is their best system by a mile too. What legions are you considering?

I really wanted to go loyalist Emperor's Children, but after seeing how they look in mk6 im not too crazy about it anymore. When the other marks come out in their new plastic packages that'll be more enticing for an EC legion, but for the big box I'm now leaning towards World Eaters.

Thank you warmaster for the new thread, I'm genuinely excited for the influx of new players and content the new edition is going to bring - the barrier to entry before with forgeworld prices was something that kept me out of the game for ages until Betrayal at Calth.

BULBASAUR posted:Militia still the best army and faction Enjoy no rules at release  Seriously though, seeing the Imperial Fist rules kinda make me want to stop them from being my loyalist faction. The +1 BS is too drat good, it's going to be nerfed. It has to be. The new 30k is gonna get the same treatment as the 40k stuff isn't it? Constant updates and FAQ's we have to stay up with due to GW loving up stats and combos..... Sigh. Oh! Found some STL's to try with my new printer so I at least get to start trying my paint schemes on the correct size models Edit:Bulbasaur....those seekers looking amazing!

My friends are full time HH nerds - and I've been orbiting for a bit - getting the fix in through Titanicus and BFG. Picking Iron Hands, because they're basically space dwarfs, and seem to be under-represented. What's cool about them and what should I get? I've already picked up some Gorgons because they look great.

I was lukewarm on BOX until someone posted a pic of the Mk6 with DG pickelhaube and I jizzed in my jeans. I have 35 Mk3 foot troops right now I'll be using as vets/support squads. I also have a couple of Aquitor bombards coming and a plagueburst crawler to lead the squadron. Red Herring posted:My friends are full time HH nerds - and I've been orbiting for a bit - getting the fix in through Titanicus and BFG. I don't know if it's in the new list, but the Mortifactor is a legion leader who focuses on the Dreadnoughts of the legion. Very IH in my opinion.

The Head of the Gorgon Rite of War looks very good, as it basically opens up a ton of options for your army while having a pretty limited drawback. You could consider a Mechanized Infantry swarm to capture objectives (consider your Gorgons in a Spartan), or a big mess of heavy tanks, like the new Kratos.

How beginner friendly would you say Horus Heresy is? I originally wanted to play 40k but you know it's a mess right now so that'll go on the backburner for a bit.

Lucinice posted:How beginner friendly would you say Horus Heresy is? I originally wanted to play 40k but you know it's a mess right now so that'll go on the backburner for a bit. I’ve never had any problem explaining the 1.0 version of this game to people, even ones who have never done any sort of wargaming in the first place. Aside from that, one of the nice things in the new edition is that, aside from the core rulebook, you really only need one book to write your army. Obviously this will get more layered as they re-introduce armies like Mechanicum, Solar Auxilia, and Militia, but if you’re looking to play Legions it’s basically as easy as it gets.

This is the perfect jumping-off point for the Horus Heresy Hobby. Untold worlds of gaming await you if you are but bold enough to claim them. Except for militia players.

Yeah, the tech priest/magos models are 100% compatible, and outside the robots you could get creative to use other AdMech forces as Mechanicum. There just aren't certain units yet. It's even funnier for the Custodes who have different terminator armor and jetbikes between the two games.

Militia will release last, so they have maximum power creep. As the warmaster intended. Lucinice posted:Are 40k mechanicum units playable in HH or is it the forge world ones only? They've been one of my choices for a 40k army. In general, mechanicum != to adeptus mechanicus. There was almost no model crossover in 1.0 which will likely remain in 2.0, but that's speculation. You can always convert or proxy, but the aesthetics are also a bit different. Rumor is plastic thallax/ursurax at the very least

Aren't Immortals a good choice for IH? It was either them or the termies that were near unkillable*.panascope posted:The Head of the Gorgon Rite of War looks very good, as it basically opens up a ton of options for your army while having a pretty limited drawback. You could consider a Mechanized Infantry swarm to capture objectives (consider your Gorgons in a Spartan), or a big mess of heavy tanks, like the new Kratos. On the other hand, Castellax are loving lovely, and you get them without the other ROW's requirement of a cortex controller per 3 robits. *From what I remember of HH 1.0 rules

Personally I don't rate immortals very highly, mostly due to points cost. They're really tough, sure, but they don't really do anything else well besides dying slowly. Gorgons seem like a better choice for most situations.
