Hi all, hope you're enjoying the video! Just want to clarify that this is a personal project of Fletcher's, and we thought it would be cool to show off his ideas and techniques in this video. However this is not an indication or a preview of us playing 30k, at least not anytime soon. Never say never of course, but there are currently no plans for us to produce Heresy Reports at the moment. The next system we're looking at making content for will be The Old World 🙂

If you decide to have a go at Horus Heresy, please get a White Scars Army! Their Horus Heresy design just ouze style and they have a nice mobile play style which can be bikes or infantry heavy or even lots of tanks. Their books are also the best in the whole Horus Heresy imo.

I cannot express just how much I yearned for this type of video, as someone who is slowly painting their own army, seeing such well-produced showcases of someone else's process is truly inspiring and motivating, and these videos are so rare to come by, given the amount of effort and work behind them. Truly grateful!

Dude Tabletop Tactics need to play 30k.

@erih2934 7 ай бұрын

I understand why they don't want to do it from a business perspective, but on the other hand modern 40k has been gutted when it comes to interesting rules. I really much more enjoy watching a good HH report compared to anything 10th-related (except boarding actions XD). I guess the worst thing is we won't see Fletcher's army in action :(

@froghugger41 6 ай бұрын

@@jb87rell heresy player and fan here AoS is an incredible system imo, very thematic and punchy rules, fast paced, easy to learn and hard to master. There's a lot of tactical depth between warscroll abilities and mechanics like command abilities and heroic actions; the design of that game is incredible. I, too, tire of heresy players putting down other systems instead of lauding our own. 40k is a point of sadness for me and many other grognards because, while I love that they've made the game faster and easier to pick up and play than ever, I feel disappointed that the unique army rules don't feel very inspired. The world eaters probably have the best designed/executed rules out of all the 40k armies in 10th and many of the other armies just feel empty or like they feel limited compared to what they once were.

@NateVHVT Ай бұрын

I'd love to recreate this type of paint scheme, no pre-shade/ pre-highlight, a simple base coat as a shadow, 1st highlight as a mid tone, 2nd highlight just to make it pop (especially with that wonderful pastel-ish green). But I collect Fists and... yellow. You're basically forced to do the brown or pink pre-shade technique so your shadows are either brown or orange and I've never liked how it looks.

@Wijkert 7 ай бұрын

My favorite video of yours to date! I really like how these came out and will take inspiration when I experiment with my own SoH paint scheme. The main thing I would change is how you highlighted the black. If the environment is warm (yellow/orange) your highlight on the black doesn't match. It does create a nice cool contrast, but I would start creating a grey with the skin tone that was mixed into the highlight of the armor.
