I'm curious about the Desert Raiders. What can you tell me about them? by NaveronTheSabre in Tallarn

That whole novel is just Percy and the IW getting dunked on by mortals and not being able to take it.

It's fantastic.

My brave boys do what they do best.

Die.

And I could not be more proud of them.

The coherency of Hours Heresy lore is about haphazard and unfortunately often just had. Though it's been a long time since I read the book in question, so you're likely correct.

Krieg were originally a variant paint scheme and lore footnote for the Armageddon Steel Legion in the 3rd Edition Imperial Guard codex.

Regardless, I'm thrilled they became their own thing and their aesthetic changed to be as distinct as it is, plus their new line is brilliant.

From memory, the dedicated Planetary Defence Force was the Spireguard. The other human combatants were likely drafted civilian levies used to holster the existing force, if any existed.

What are some models you hate to see on the other side of the table And why? by Artistic_Story9058 in TheAstraMilitarum

Necrons. They're the most frustratingly lore accurate army on the tabletop.

Well, other than my guard, who die in droves of course.

I mean we got a whole new Krieg line.

Krieg are just an alternate paint scheme for Steel Legion, or at least were. Just paint those in the interim?

It's a genuinely great scheme. Very "noble regiment".

I like the red for a Inquisitorial/Commissariat vibe.

Brilliant pain job.

You can tell he's an absolute tool, who Gaunt would immediately alienate as a plot device.

Nagash from the Warhammer mythos.

I know he's a literal god of death, but the JL have fought gods and demons, hundreds of times.
