Autistic 30k/Horus Heresy Thread Anonymous 01/24/2023 (Tue) 20:26:56 Id: 22d899 No. 585 >>587 >>1338 >>2033
Thread for discussion 30k lore, especially the Horus Heresy, in detail. General 40k lore discussion is allowed when applicable. Also general 30k discussion allowed for those of you who play the tabletop game. First topic to break the ice, did Argel Tal do anything wrong? You can argue he made the same mistake as many of his brothers by blindly following Lorgar even into literal hell, but he was also said to be the potential cause for Kharn to turn loyal or at least not become an agent of Chaos. And of course he killed some Custodes even after befriending them. EDIT: some added links for horus heresy adeptus titanicus. >New to The Horus Heresy?

>>585 (OP) Lets start where it matters. The thunder warriors. In the few battles they had against Astartes they killed 5-7 space marines a piece before dying. They were superior warriors. The Emperor didnt make the best possible fighting dorce he could. He made a force just good enough for the threats to be faced, while also being weak enough tonbe defeated when they inevitably turned. The Heresy was foreseen. Just as planned.
But okay. Lets say it was all known to occur beforehand. So what. The primary actors did not know their roles. And so even in the macrocosm of it being a plan for God hood (as Horus claimed and was right.) it still took humans to act. And here is where the tragedy begins. It is trite at this point to say it started with Erebus or Lorgar, but this is still true nonetheless. Oh sure others were on a dark path before him, and it would have occured anyway as a politically driven civil war perhaps, but it was a HERESY. A religious war. And so we start truly with the Emperors first priest. Lorgar.
How did a man who loved the Emperor as his father and his only God betray the Emperor? What force turned love into hate? That Colchis had pockets of chaos worship is known, that Lorgar struck down these cults before joining the Imperium is also known. What is less known is what happened to some of these ex cultists. We turn our attention to one in particular. Erebus. Once a slave to the ruinous powers, always a slave. And so it was with Erebus, though he turned his cloak and claimed fealty to Lorgar, this was a deception. The Emperor's rebuke of Lorgar was a trigger not for betrayal, but for soul searching. His faith shattered he was vulnerable to the first Idealogue that showed up, and to his misfortune one was already in his retinue. And so fell Lorgar, to depths he never returned from. His people would say later that they did as their ethics dictated. The discovered the answer to Mans first mystery. What happens after you die? They found Gods and an afterlife to exist, and though horrified, could not turn away from this basic truth. And once damned, they appeared reconciled to there being no hope of redemption.
>>589 Ackshually Lorgar was always technically a Chaos cultist, he just thought that Big E was a Chaos God (not god). The one who I believe takes most of the blame, moreso than Erebus, is Kor Phaeron, the one who steered Lorgar on that dark path and somehow gained his loyalty as if he were his father. Those cults on Colchis werent struck down, most were confederated into Lorgar's own as he united the planet under Big E worship. This is all detailed in Lorgar's primarch book. There was soul searching done after the Monarchia incident but it was Kor Phaeron who he confided in. Erebus came afterwards and was more of a symptom than a cause, though he certainly did a lot of damage in his own way by forcing Horus into a position where he'd have to betray/kill that one sophisticated planet that was aware of the taint of Chaos. And also what he did to Argel Tal...
>>591 I got way too off topic. Um. Yeah. So next up the guy who got corrupted by the word bearers bullshit and our next Primarch on the chain to the Heresy. Its Horus time baby!
>>605 Horus is a big old bald retard. There summed up.
(86.44 KB 1000x1095 Fulgrim_ascended.jpg)

I was wondering why Fulgrim getting a new model wasn't getting any attention. Until I noticed that it only had rules for the horus heresy. Model looks pretty cool though.
>>830 He wasn't bald when he started though, he was just balding.
>>830 >>1030 Most modern art for Horus makes him look like a cross between Yul Brenner and Benito Mussolini, so I don't blame people for thinking of "bald" as the first trait that jumps out.
>>1098 It was the bitterness of being bald and ugly that made him turn evil. Many such cases.
I just wanna say on this dead board that 30k White Scars rule

>>1203 do they even have negative traits ? They are a bit too perfect for me, and no being insular isn't one. I like the 30k dark angels : competent, chad Corswain and Lion, have their own arcs. Too bad the authors had to give the NL plot armor to keep them out of the heresy
>>585 (OP) Even now, there is hope for man.
(207.55 KB 845x678 1705259259751617.jpg)

Did any other Horus Heresy players find their way here? Didn’t copy down the OP copypasta with all the links so can’t really remake the general properly if i don’t go searching in some archives, and there isn’t really a point to it if i’m the only one here. Felt like the game and general was slowly dying over on 4chan anyways…
Dead game
stop making fucking generals and just post a goddamn thread about something you want to talk about specifically not every single thread needs to be a general holy fuck
>>1970 /vg/ and its consequences have been a disaster for imageboard culture.
>>1205 Night lords plot armor? I thought it was just because curze was in the galactic east folowing the world eaters and raiding worlds the WE already ravaged.
>>1854 Game was having issues but the general was strong. Miss it everyday
>>1977 Be the change you want to be.

>>2027 >A small request: If you see any HH players in the other altchans i would really appreciate if you could direct them here, trying to rebuild the old general but the other regulars don’t seem to have moved here on their own as has happened with the other generals i was active in. Saw some guys on Soyjak party but this site seems less cancerous so i’m settling here instead.
>>585 (OP) Made a proper general, use it if you want >>2027
>>1854 OP here, dug around in the archives and made a proper general, use it if you want >>2027 Also tell me if i fucked something up, i’m not used to baking.
>>2033 you are policing a thread made in 2023 4cuck
>>2068 Fuck you threadpolicing niggerfaggot, i made separate threads to gauge interest and another for the proper general, it seems like a tranny mod rolled them all into this one ancient thread for no fucking reason. Fucking 4chan with it’s trigger happy woke tyrant mods were less micromanaging cunts than this. Guess i will have to find some other place. No wonder this board is dead.

>>2027 I made it.
>>2167 Sorry for leading you to this trash heap of a board anon. Maybe we should make our own board instead, without these threadpolicing mods.
>>2239 There is perfect board for you! >>/nutg/ This board was designed by seething 4chan refugee, it has everything: >No users >Only generals >No ID >Abandoned by creators, so no moderation It's perfect for you guys, go there.

>>2027 I lived nigga
>>2135 My guy, This thread already existed, you didn't need another horus heresy thread. We also can't have 3 different horus heresy threads, Already weird we have separate thread for 40k and 30k when we can easily fit both in one.

(107.34 KB 571x548 1705206321758314.jpg)

>>2362 Alright, maybe i over reacted. Just hurts my autism that all the links and such aren’t in the OP. And i don’t get why we can’t have a dedicated general but have to use this 2 year old dead thread instead. It’s very unnecesary policing imho. As if multiple threads are a problem, most threads on this board seem dead anyways.
>>2420 That is just how we do it here on 8chan. We have a normal thread topic of about 2 paragraphs (usually) on a topic and then we use that as a general. Sure this thread isn't very long but its something. As an example, look at the fallout thread on /v/, It isn't a general but people still use it as one.
>>2423 Seems stupid to not just make a general with all the neccesary links and information.
>>2427 If it bothers you that much I can just add the links to the op. Kinda weird to do but whatever. I am not changing the name though, /hhg/ looks way worse than just "horus heresy general".

Almost done with a 5 man lasscannon team. assembled them before they released the nu-mk3 arms. Q.Q

i love jump packs ;w; this guy will likely end up the bounciest in pose of my lot
>>2440 Yeah he said almost.
>>2438 >>2444 Are those Tortuga Bay bodies?
>>2472 Yes
When is GW releasing Squats for 30k?
>>2496 just do a custom militia or even auxilla job if that's what you really really want
>>2496 I know this is just bait but you can proxy them easily with militia through the kinfolk helot provenance, you can even add some of their tank trains through the forgeworld remnants provenance.

Anybody else go for Baneblade variants?
>>2628 I would if they weren't so stupidly priced...
>>2637 Id say its less-so points and how your legion can abuse one of the variants.
>>2628 my heart belongs to falchions in the way of astartes superheavy tanks
>>2628 It’s really cool how so much of the imperial tank arsenal is available to marines in 30k.
