Horus Heresy (30K) has to be the best game GW ever made. Every faction is a Space Marine. It saves people the trouble of playing things that are not Space Marines.

* Did I mention the game has Space Marines?

So, there is a 30K and a 40K?

Uesugi Kenshin Supporting Member of TMP24 Mar 2022 8:30 a.m. PST

Elmo, YES! (And even the Solar Auxilia are not bad!)

@79th, 30k is the unofficial fan name for the 7 year war better known as the Horus Heresy. It takes place 10,000 years before Warhammer 40k, hence "30k".

The Mk6 marines will be really useful. They can play anything from 30k to the Badab War through 40k.

Here's a little more info. I'm not digging the new Praetor and will probably trade him out.

Oh my! That looks tempting!

PS. If you look closely in the original posts video you may have noticed a new tank coming out.

It looks like a Sicaran Battle Tank but with a turret on top. Could be a nice medium tank option.

Ha ha, goombas! (See above link)

Update on Beakies. A useful box for 30k, 40k, the Badab War and CSM conversions:

They look nice.

But shouldn't they look more RTBO1?

Also, what's that blue thing on the sword?

Uesugi Kenshin Supporting Member of TMP08 Apr 2022 10:17 a.m. PST

I see what you're saying about the sword. I'm not sure if that has a precedent or not.

I haven't owned any Beakies since 2E.

The only thing I'm worried about is the proportions. I'm worried these may be "True scale" and may not fit withe the current Mk3 & Mk4s.

Unlike the Mk3 & Mk 4 this set comes with a Vox & Vexilla which is handy. Sounds like there's enough Close Combat Weapons to equip all your bolters. The usual grenades and a Sergeants helm.

I need to start saving my pennies. Most of those are too cool to pass up.
