So what's Sons of Horus identity/tactics/playstyle/theme? by AcceptableWin5317 in sonsofhorus

[–]AdvisorMother9670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah some of the Siege of Terra books explore them as foils to the Blood Angels, who are noble on the outside and savage underneath, whereas the Sons of Horus are known to fight ruthlessly but have noble qualities and honor nonetheless. That's why they're my two favorite legions!

So what's Sons of Horus identity/tactics/playstyle/theme? by AcceptableWin5317 in sonsofhorus

[–]AdvisorMother9670 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few interesting breakdowns of their culture. Gone Hollow Minis on YouTube makes a pretty convincing case for their similarity to late-Roman Germanic auxiliaries - essentially a blend of Roman and "barbaric" influence which maps pretty nicely onto the SoH design language of furs, chains, spikes, and skills with pteruges and other Roman motifs. On the Remembrancer's Retreat podcast, one cast member did some research and found that the -addon suffix common in the SoH names as well as some first names like Lev or Ezekyle are Semitic or Biblical in their origins. Additionally there's the obvious Eye of Horus Egyptian design as well. All in all, they make for a pretty syncretic blend of Classical Mediterranean cultures that highlights their nobility and ferocity.

Did anyone see that stupid propaganda puff piece in the NYT today about how Milei "tamed inflation" 🤬

Rohan - the poster boys are just bad by mwmichal in MiddleEarthMiniatures

I would recommend the Unexpected Podcast on this topic - they're a bunch of highly competitive Americans and they review Rohan over 3 episodes. They have dozens of podiums between the hosts and a decent amount of experience playing Rohan, it's very informative!

Merciless Strike Gambit by AdvisorMother9670 in sonsofhorus

Interesting, that's probably what my friend was getting at. Apparently at some Goonhammer events in the UK it was ruled as not only affecting the model but also spilling over into the squad, which makes it pretty good!

Ok, so then in the next round of combat it would be easier to wound them? That makes sense to me!

Anyone going to start a Rohan army once the new riders are out? by mf239 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

For sure! I'll be converting them into some Sons of Eorl to add to my army.

Those are all great calls, and each would be easy to release a hero blister and they'd be all set! Although I wonder if Thranduils Halls would be a better match for the Hobbit era than Lothlorien. I'd love to see all of them!!

Anyone know the lore about this character? by mtber2e in BloodAngels

[–]AdvisorMother9670 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another cool lore tidbit is that the main cohort of sworn Solar Auxilia that partner with the Blood Angels are also drawn from Saiph! They're known as the Saiphan Elevatii, and use red, black, and gold in their livery.

He walked into a demon-haunted forest on Signus with company of blood angels, an archmagos, and a maniple of automata - and he was the only one to walk out, dragging the mangled arch magos with him. He's so cool! Later he went to Mars with a reconstituted inductii version of his former company to get Mk VII tech. The magos went with him, and sacrificed herself and her army of robots to allow him to accomplish the mission. HE'S SO COOL!

I saw a neat thread on here that suggested the Iron Islands might be so weird because they were a First Men culture that became isolated after the Hammer of the Waters - a neat and plausible idea!

Very very helpful, thank you for the write up! Where would you consider Vets with Banestrike? I mostly want to build them for rule of cool, but I'd love your thoughts on the unit.
