Mk7 can be converted down to mk5, but is itself not at all a standard issue item, and only appears at the tail end of the conflict. The "industry standard" was mk4, which was mostly rolled out to the legions (with preference going to the traitors), with mk6 in the late stages of field testing / early deployment with specialist troops. Mk3 and 2 is seen among the legions who struggled with resupply (such as the Scars and Dark Angels) or had a bias towards it (Salamanders, Death Guard, and Iron Warriors). Mk6 should primarily show up in Salamanders and Iron Warriors (the two legions to test it, and hate it) and Raven Guard (tested it and wholesale adopted it), and the Alpha Legion (who intercepted shipments). Everyone got some mk6 though. THEN the Heresy breaks out and supply lines are screwed. Mars declares for Horus but is blockaded by the Imperial Fists, and neither side gets to enjoy the fruit of the primary Forge World, and things shift towards local manufacture. Cobbled together and lower-grade armour comes out in the mk5. After years, the mechanicum forces loyal to the throne are able to design a new, easy-to-produce armour that isn't quite as sophisticated as the mk4 or mk6, but beats the mk5. They quickly produce unadorned suits to resupply the defenders of Terra which are no longer equipped with working order armour of earlier (superior) marks. That's the mk7. Barely off the assembly line, painted minimally for the legionnaire wearing it. There are no campaign badges or battle honors. No scrollwork or adornment. Shortly after this, the war reaches Terra. As mentioned, "the siege" is not representative of 30k as a whole, as at that point there were Heldrakes flying around, and Death Guard are 100% corrupted thanks to the nonsense of Typhus. You don't hear too many asking for their demon turkeys to be rolled back to the Calth campaigns or Signus Prime or Thramas.
@gojira44442 жыл бұрын
Mk vii is barely out of protoyping in the final year at best, so not really. Siege of Terra is not Horus Heresy, The traitors are Chaos Marines (or close enough) at that point. Not renegades. Death Guard are corrupted by Nurgle. Daemon Primarchs, Daemon Engines, etc. Then you only got 3 loyalist legions there, and I think every traitor legion except Alpha Legion and I think Thousand Sons. If you wanna do Siege of Terra fine, but that is not the Horus Heresy. Its 1, very battle, at the very end of the Horus Heresy. And most people build/paint their armies around early/mid heresy from what Ive seen. Its not hard to make forces either, especially in the age of the internet with bit-stores, 3d files/printings, 3rd party, ebay, resellers, and recasts available. Forgeworld is also obviously available, several 40k kits are very usable. Even bits from fantasy can work.

I hate, hate, hate, the amount of elitism in 30k. The problem I have with the elitism is because from what I have personally seen, if your unit isn’t perfect to spec Example being Spartans, people won’t let you play it without changing the sponsons by hand. I have had nothing but nightmares with dealing with players and just getting units on the field. I have seen beautiful space marine armies not allowed to play because their armor wasn’t changed to enough to meet the others perspective. I have no problem with the people who take the mark 7 armor. Simply put there is so much of armor being built and modified that mark 7 can be done up to be just fine. Use mark 3 and 5 helmets and heads and backpacks with a decent paint job of their legion is more than enough. I love people creating their own groups and stories, not reliant on the blanket history of 30k. I generally go by rule of cool, if your having fun I am fine with it. It is just a rule set that makes 30k what it is, but it isn’t fun because people get shut out. It is impossible for me to get friends into heresy because of the gatekeepers to the point where I have completely abandoned 30k. I went so far as taking one page rules (Grimdark future) and modifying the rules to fit a 30k style. Because it isn’t “Warhammer” there aren’t the same problems, and I am able to play with who I want and have no issues with this bullshit that keeps everyone out. I don’t have money to spend on 30k forge world items, no one I know personally does either, I only want to have fun in my hobby. Sorry for the rant but I have thought a lot about this in recent times, as I have been going back and playing 2nd-7th editions of 40k, and writing up the modified rules for 30k to Grimdark Future, and why I have had to take that step.

I actually got pissed the other day at a KZfaq video regarding 40K models that you can use for 30K . Normally, I love that kind of video, as I started my Heresy army using certain Heresy era-appropriate armour (from 40K kits) that I mixed in with my Burning Of Prospero box, before really getting into the Forge World stuff. He had a few correct points- not that it’s all that hard to do- but where he irritated me was when he said that since MkVII armour was used at the Siege Of Terra, it was okay to use it in 30K because “no one plays just specific times of the Heresy, so it’s fine to use”. So, you know, I guess nobody plays any of the Isstvan scenarios, or Prospero, or Calth, etc. I couldn’t believe it- and this guy has a lot of subscribers, and presents himself as a lore guy/ historian of Warhammer. It just seemed so dismissive of all the 30K hobbyists (myself included) who put in a lot of work and go to great lengths to be “historically” correct. I’m sure there were other points that were incorrect, but after that one I didn’t want to listen to him anymore. Of all the videos on that exact subject I’ve seen, that was the only one that said anything so disrespectful and stupid.

Movement is the one that strikes me as most stupid. Nobody complained about movement, but simps who are into necro and have rose tinted glasses for 2nd ed think different values on everything is a good thing. It's not, and as Rick would say, "I can scientifically prove it."
@MajorLandmark2 жыл бұрын
@@TheOuterCircle This is exactly my thought. Movement values make sense in Fantasy because the gameplay is heavily about positioning and maneuvering. In 40k/30k where we have loose coherency instead of blocks of units a movement value is just bloat to learn that makes minimal difference in actual play. 3rd Edition ditched movement values for exactly this reason as it's a vestigial part of 2E's links to the Fantasy ruleset. The only way I would accept it as being a reasonable direction would be if they were to get rid of various rules like fleet and move through cover and factor those movement benefits into the M value. That will lose flavor, but it could be ok if the simplification balances it out.

given some 40k players being pissy that I have made deathwatch veterans out of primaris assault marine kits and scratch building upscaled weapons so that I don't have the mini-marine next to chad boys problem in my army I don't think 30k has a monopoly on "elitisim" the difference is that in my experience the 30k elitisim is centred on reasonable standards of being accurate to the setting where 40k tends to be all around fanboyism to the company rather than being true to the setting or hobby.

So that blood angels character is fine in my opinion. Captains have been allowed to wear whatever heraldry they choose its pretty well established. For example the novamarines based theyre chapter colours on a captain in the Ultramarines from the HH. So to me your captain could be in really whatever you want. Bear in mind too legions were disorganised compared to chapters lending to differences in colour schemes some emperors children wore silver and this is in the last HH edition. I assume they would bear minimum wear the trim of their company somewhere when it comes to captains.

Many of Macca's points are the reason our FLGS group went back to playing 5th ed 40K with a couple of house rules imports from the various compatible editions (and allowing any codex from 3rd-7th to be used in that framework). The funny thing is that many of the players who had only ever played 8th or 9th ed 40K that have joined us really enjoy the more thematic and tactical game that the older codexes and game mechanics provide. Additionally, the dice pool psychic phase started in 6th ed is complete garbage as it is a direct lift from old WHFB rules. it does not fit in 40K especially compared to the intuitive and efficient LD check system used in their appropriate phases of 3rd-5th ed.

I am a 30k nerd (the name gives it away, huh) and I agree mostly. I think you simplify too much, even though I agree with the basic argument. If a friend is contemplating starting 30k and wants to proxy his 40k old Space Marine force to try the feel of the game, fine by me! As soon as he (or she) decides to be serious about it, I expect those models to be replaced in a timely manor. As far as differences to 40k, there is a couple that are/where important to me: 1. The narrative driven forces and battles (Fully agree with you there, also makes an epic loss pretty fun ;-) ) 2. The more realistic paint job and the paint job actually signifying something (Clean Ultramarines or Emperors Children vs. weathered Deathguard) 3. The higher level of the Paint job and a complete ban on "grey walls" (unpainted armies) -> this ties into point 1 also! 4. The slower pace of releases, its so relaxing to be able to take a 1 or 2 year break and still have a nice, functioning army 5. people identifying with their force in one way or another. But there is always a story for why they are playing said force. Cheers and thanks for the vids ;-)

I actually completely agree with the first point. I started at the start of 6E right at a decade ago now, which was also mostly the startish of 30k on Forgeworld. And even then, people who were buying and collecting the 30k range were considered snobbish as to how they hobbyed. That trend has continued till today and i agree with it. But not always on the negative. People who tend to play 30k they sprnd a lot of money on these kits but they also put the most time into this hobby because they are required to ACTUALLY hobby. Forgeworld kits require work and dedication and someone has to really want to do it to get it done. VS a 40k player who is mostly spoiled when it comes to the plastics and overall model quality and availability.

I hope they keep the armour values for Dreadnoughts, or vehicles in general. Giving them toughness and wounds was in my opinion one of the stupidest changes from 7th to 8th edition. The only thing i liked, was that now monstrous creatures had now to deal with similar problems like vehicles: getting weaker with more wounds taken. I think, that might work: keep armour values, ditch the damage table and let them get weaker with lost hull points, same with monstrous creatures, but the later with T and W values. In my opinion the main problem with vehicles of any kind is: you can bring them down with one lucky shot. And yes, there is a lot of gate keeping in 30k, but it's justified. The last 40k events i visited in 7th edition had a much more combative atmosphere and the most toxic players often were the ones with the least effort in their army, going as far as one army being CSM with total different colours and basing on all models, as f the player bought them from different ebay sellers. We later found out, that this particular player cheated in all his games. On the other hand at all 30k events i visited there were only painted armies with coherent themes and nearly all players had a much more relaxed attitude. The only exceptions i noticed so far were 1 player who didn't care to even buy the rules, only used Battlescribe as reference, accused others of cheating and called a player out on fielding a "Ballerburg" (german word for an army that only stands in the farthest corner of their deployment zone and doing nothing but shooting), just because her Laser Destroyers (her only unit with reach 36" or above) destroyed his Land Raider first turn. He himself fielded more heavy weapons - and played green Dark Angels.

I am building and painting a 30k emperors children force with mostly mk3 armor. I know that mk4 was the preferred mark but i have found examples of emperors children breaching forces so i went with it. I think the problem is that some people really don't give a damn about the setting and just want to have fun. Not that having fun is a bad thing but ignoring all other hobbyists is. From what i've seen, 30k is a mainly narrative game and you try to get the feeling of it to the tabletop. And having some nonsensical forces with weird armor and wrong colors isn't respectful to the setting. 40k is a much more flexible setting where you can explain a lot of odd things so you can just go wild. You could even use 30k models and justify why they are still around. 30k has more limitations by default and if you don't respect that, it will piss people off.
@kurthasedd79232 жыл бұрын
I am definitely a fan of 30K elitism. It has encouraged the community to become better hobbyists, painting their armies, wanting their legion specific forces to look as though they are apart of that legion and they want their games to be thematic in order to immerse themselves in the game a little bit better. I don't want to play a game where my guys look like they belong on a distant battlefield in the far future and then have my opponent put a primaris marine in a blue white and pink color scheme with a poorly painted pride flag on a shoulder pad as a joke followed by an army of poorly enamel painted models. I get having a joke or a laugh or a piece you can talk about in other games, but I don't like that in 30K and I don't think a whole lot of other hobbyists do too. Kind of like if you're playing a WWII based video game, like Hells Highway and they replace the nazi's with clowns shooting water guns and nothing else changes. It's an expensive hobby, but it's a nice hobby where you get a lot of contentment form, you might make a big purchase here and there, but it's slower, you don't paint up your blood angels, put them on a board and then go to buy 800.00$ worth of Solar Auxilia because now you want to start a different army. I see that from time to time in hobby shops where a guy buys boxes upon boxes of 40K models, assembles them poorly, visible mold lines, poorly painted if painted at all and they say "I'm working through these but I'd like to play with them now instead of waiting a few weeks or months" even though you know they won't. It's like, take your time, you're not in any rush. 30K has a lot to offer, I like the wide range of models and armor variations, I like the effort put into a lot of the sculpts, I like that you can interchange a lot of different pieces, even with characters to get something new and unique. Enjoy the game as what it is, read up about whatever army you want to do and make something thematic for them and do it justice because it really is a great hobby once you get into it. The games really rope you in and that's the biggest selling point of 30K, is you feel just a little bit more there on a grimey battlefield with gene enhanced soldiers shooting big guns, cutting each other up with chain blades and axes and what not

I forgot to mention this in my other comment, probably because it doesn’t have to do with the subject being discussed here. Anyway, I couldn’t find any Abaddon Black or Leadbelcher paints at my FLGS, so I decided to go to the one GW store that’s anywhere near me. They didn’t have any, either- in fact, they were sold out of many of the paint colors I generally use, and the employee had zero idea when they might actually be back in stock. While there, I noticed three other things in particular- 1. They had a very limited selection of models, not just paint, with some factions not having a single kit. 2. There were no prices on ANY of their products, when there always were before. Maybe because of the upcoming price gouge- oops, I mean increase. 3. There were several keychain type trinkets, bookmarks, and other things like that for sale up near the cash register. One of them was obviously a Melta Bomb, just larger than on the models (about the size of a thumb from the first knuckle to the tip) and made of shiny metal. But on the package, it said that it was a Bolt round. There’s no way on Earth that the thing was a Bolt round, it was 100%, without a doubt, a Melta Bomb. Do different departments at GW HQ not speak to each other? They create the shit, and don’t even know what it is? It’s kind of like picking up a Black and Decker drill that says on the packaging that it’s a palm sander. If it was in a box that you couldn’t see the product in, that would be a possible excuse (though a rather poor one). But the keychain was in a clear plastic bag with a card that it was attached to, the card saying what it is. You could see the product from every angle, and the name of it at the same time. I can’t believe that thousands of those things made it out into their shops and no one noticed. Maybe it’s a Bolt round from the Seventh Legion Death Guard. Unbelievable.

HH sounds like the kind of game I wanted to play when I first got interested in 40k, the old chaos codex had all this possibility of customisation and even the advice on modeling was all about homebrewed narratives to base the look of your army on, and I always liked the look of older power armour ever since the first supplement for the ffg Deathwatch RPG came out and I learned about them. I've always wanted to make a Nightlords and or Salamanders army but the 40k codex options for either of them have been really boring frankly since like 3-4 edition... I might be on the verge or trying out a squad of 30k traitors to see how I like the looks of some mk4-mk5 Night Lords I can prolly splurge on a squad cos it'll look nice on my shelf even if I don't expand any further.

I have come to the conclusion that GW views Horus Heresy as a specialist game along the lines of Adeptus Titancius, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, etc. When you view HH in this manner, their attitude makes much more sense in regards to their releases and their lack of conscientiousness. Its just a specialist game, whats the big deal? So few people play HH, we have to spend our resources (time/money/etc.) to maximize each releases potentiality and portability to other game systems. I am not commenting on whether or not this is right or wrong, GW is trying to make money after all. The side affect though is that the HH community with arguably the largest "specialist game" on the docket, is seen as a fringe and is treated as such. Mainstream players most likely dont understand this intra-game cultural phenomena and assume that every game system has a vapid and rapid time table of armies/models. A funny little culture clash within a hobby that has somehow created territories within itself courtesy of its sheperd, GW.
