Emperors Children Part 1: Getting Started in Horus Heresy

[Wanten-the-stormtrooper]

YES!!! I'm planning to do Emperor's Children for Heresy, so this'll be a life saver! Thank you so much for this!

I am going to make an Istvaan 3 loyalist emperors children force with some world eater and Luna wolves marines sprinkled in to represent the cobbled together loyalist forces fighting their last stand against their former brothers (using emperors children rules I’ll just have some random marines in every squad painted in different legion colors). It will be glorious.

hey Macca, now that you mention the 3D printed models and all of that, i have a very large folder full of free STL files related to Thousand sons, i could share that to you if you want to help you when you make the video for the TS, the only problem is that the name of the files are in Spanish but they are pretty self explanatory so, here i am, cheers mate.

Hello, ive watched your videos for about a year now and have always been a huge 30k lore fan. I plan on making an emperor's children force somewhere down the line (i have a 40k army but haven't actually played many games, im more into the hobby side and the lore). I really dont like this starter kit for most legions, and the 3rd in particular. And even though this stuff is incredibly expensive and i only make 700€ a month, i would rather build up a force over time than buying this box. P.S nice that you found that the spears really work for the EC, im gonna use them a lot too, mark 4 assault marines with some spears thrown in and phoenix terminators is the focus of my build so far. U make great content, keep at it

Happy to see this series finally return! This will definitely help newcomers get to grips with the immersion of 30k

Woot woot 🙌, also sad that we lost the rules for Rylenor this edition

[garterknight]

Great work, really like the idea of splicing in parts from the AoS Slaanesh range, that would make some truly unique and interesting models.

Phoenix termies are excellent anti-marine but against other termies they suffer. Regular terminators with power fists are a much better pick for that as they strike at I2 on the charge

When it comes to Emperor's Children, I have always thought of a model armed with Masterly 2-Handed Energy Falchion from Conversion World.I have also immagined Lucius fighting with some similar form of curved blade. I've bought loads of swords from there for my Dark Angels and Black Templars, so I can definitely recommend it!

I like the intelligence of putting together other Slanesshi models, it's a simple but brilliant bit of creativity watching it slot into place. Yes, they were always rather ostentatious and fell very quickly, so this makes EC look distinct and be fun to model and paint.

[Grubnar]

You didn't mention the hottest topic among EC players ... do we paint them purple, or pink?

[sunhawk]

Cypher lords from Warcry have great weapons for anyone wanting to kitbash your own palatine blades

[relaxiarch]

liber daemonica does great bits! helmets and shoulders though they've started to diversify into torsos and legs

[mrmatt]

The myrmidesh comboed with the terminators could make cool phoenix terminators

[NemFX]

Dont suppose you'll do a video about the generic hq units rules for Horus heresy? What's good, what's bad, etc?

[danlewis]

personally for the phoenix spears, I'd just use custodian spears.

[AgeofGuns]

I’m actually not a fan of either of the captains that come with the box set. Really wish they’d given Marks 3 and 4 a truescale upgrade.

[saberz]

Thanks for this i have my home brew space army be of loyalist emperor children made in secret though

[morgymomo]

As an Imperial Fist player, should I get the transfer sheet?

[hivefleet]

I'm interested in the ambiguously pre-heresy Emperor's Children army (are they loyal or traitor?). Also what do you do if you don't like beaky marines - cry?
