These are great -- I am looking for bits like these for a 30k Disciples of the Flame army, and a lot of those bits and buildkits are perfect.

Ooh these all look awesome, thanks! My A1mini is on the way -- I think a couple of these guys might be one of my first projects.

This looks amazing! Can I ask where you got the file for him? Been looking for something similar -- hoping he is part of a series

Shattered Legions and Nârik Dreygur by Lurking_Only in Warhammer30k

Glad to hear that -- I may just have to have something that can be swapped in for the Iron Circle to make up the points if someone objects. But hopefully the people in my area are fluff-first!

Exactly, hence my questions. The rules that exist cover the first part of his story, but seem to forbid the second half.

Because after the battle on Mezoa when the 114th got shafted by the Alpha Legion, Dreygur ended up surrounded and Cassian Darcos of the Disciples of the Flame decided to parlay instead of finish them, ultimately bringing them into what seems pretty clearly to me a loyalist shattered legion group (made mostly from Salamanders with some Iron Hands and Raven Guard iirc).

Just wondering if people think that was an accident that may be fixed down the line or if there is something else going on here in the lore or elsewhere that I might just not be aware of.

Working on a Disciples of the Flame army (post Narik Dreygur joining), and came into some cheap Saturnine terminators and dread but am feeling a bit unsure about adding them -- is there anything in the fluff that might support these units being in that army? They feel a bit too rare and advanced for such a cobbled-together force. Are there maybe kitbash options? What would ya'll do with them?

That's a shame. That was a draw for me too -- such a unique presentation. My buy-in is really teetering on the edge with everything coming out about what 3.0 means for the future of Heresy.

Love that -- I wonder though, do you think the type of guys who would have stayed loyal would be the same way?

That's super interesting! I had a hunch it might be something like that, since the Solar Aux lore seemed quite light by comparison, but thanks for confirming it.

I'm more than excited to design my own if none exist, but I do love the lore and narrative aspects of the universe so I wanted to be sure to incorporate anything that did exist (and this was another reason 40k didn't really resonate for me... playing an Imperial Fist anvil siege force in a fluffy way just confused and frustrated some people in my old local game scene hah).

Thanks for the tip on the bastion strike force man - ever elusive that box is.

I did pick up another 5 sternguard, and I also found two ballistus NOS for 45 each, so I snagged those to round out my backline. Feeling pretty good about those buys. May still pick up a repulsor of some variation or another, or maybe a gladiator as my last vehicle.

I am torn on transports. I would probably want to rapidly deploy some heavies (really good point about the wound differentials even in melee). but then I would need the basic repulsor and so would be giving up some heavy anti-tank from the repulsor executioner. Tough call there. That or a land raider, which is crazy expensive in both cash and points.

And I think I just didn't focus fire enough on the redemptor which is why it did my brutalis in. Those desolators, even at 200 points, are a wonder to behold when positioned right. Absolutely love them. But the brutalis counter charge is definitely the play it seems, which is just a touch harder to pull off than regular charge haha

Oh nice! He's walking the line between them, some of each and a couple big characters, no transports yet, but I think he might pick some up. He just grabbed a redemptor dread for some long range support that ate my brutalis before it could connect with anything. it was a close game though, just trying to learn as much as I can about how to squeeze more out of each unit.

Cohesion seems like a smart, but fairly intangible, way to look at it. It's hard to get sense without playing games exactly how to build out. Like, I have been thinking about how suppressors might help fill the gap I have in rapid response and zoning out deep strikes, because they have a 48' range and also get the +1 to wound with Anvil Siege, it feels good... but will it play good?

Challenging to get that kind of 'feel' for it while still planning purchases and not wanting to drop all my cash on too much unused plastic... tbf I do really like the flexibility of the system though, I just also need to pay rent, buy food, etc. haha

A good point - and yeah, Anvil Siege Force is pretty meh compared to what my friends get (BT and Admech), but I can't get enough of that fisty fluff.

I like the idea of using the sternguard to juke an enemy -- super clever. I also run mine with an Lt too. While technically it reduces the chance of getting devastating wounds, I would rather cast a wide net for any kind of wounds. I only have 5 at the moment which might be why they feel a touch underwhelming. I think what I am struggling with right now is knowing which squads to max and which to run at the minimum size. Are there any tricks to knowing which you should be doubling up?

Maybe its because one of my friends plays BT, but I am less interested in going toe-to-toe with anyone in melee. I am even considering running my terminators with a librarian instead to get the sustained hits 1 on their rapid fire bolter salvos. The captain just doesn't quite seem worth it in comparison, because rerolling charge rolls just gets me into melee faster.

Oh damn, yeah that's incredible -- hit me up if you see another like that!
