2.0 List Building Episode 1 - Getting Started in Horus Heresy

Looks at the levels Ah yes, 30 tyrant siege terminators it is.

[@MrCitizen0]

Fulmentarus are better

[@SacredGumby]

@@MrCitizen0 everything the Ultramarine do is better.

[@filipmanicmushroomsandrzej4073]

As an Iron Warriors enthusiast, I'll type that 30 Tyrant Siege terminators are only useful againt vechicules and power armor. They just can't handle 2+ saves. I find them really cool looking and all, but not much use for that point cost.

[@MrCitizen0]

@@filipmanicmushroomsandrzej4073 yes I love them also but I have 15 forge world versions and play alpha legion was gonna use them until I realized the ultra marine version works better for my army list. Now I have to list and sell on ebay . Feel so frustrated 😠

[@filipmanicmushroomsandrzej4073]

@@MrCitizen0 I was going to paint 10 of the Fulmentarus guys (I already had 3D printed launchers for them) but then the rules came out.... I find them even more disgusting than Sigismund :|

[@OzymandiasRex]

Excellent! Your old video "9 rules for list building" was one of my favourites and one of the videos I most recommended to friends getting into the heresy. Although I've got to say your rule of adding a scoring unit for every 500pts seems impossible now at 3000pts.

[@jimboonlyone]

In our meta we found that rad grenades work wonders against dreads. Double charge with a rad equiped squad, then krak grenades make meat from a dread. Surprised many FoTA players.

[@inquisitorpedro3727]

Got about 5mins into this and realised I need to save it for future reference... really solid advice, thanks macca.

[@jamessmart5762]

Love these kind of videos! Looking forward Alpha legion!

[@chrislevitt4929]

Not the video Heresy deserved but the video it needed. Thank you macca

[@BoxDread]

Just as a note on your NL list, Raptors and Terrors aren't scoring in HH2 terror assault, I've been filing out my Line with Infiltrating recon with shotguns. NR's are bad enough without their target being knocked down to WS4

[@DirtyMardi]

Keep in mind that recons cannot be compulsory troops so you will still need two units of tacticals, assault marines, despoilers or breachers in terror assault.

[@MrZakalwe]

@@DirtyMardi Night Raptors and Terror squads can be the troops to take the recon squads 😁 Terror assault.

[@MrCitizen0]

Very nice breakdown on what's good and what's the counter to popular hard to beat set ups

[@jacko-san7570]

Amazing compilation, great video as always! That Dreadnought list looks sick, kinda tingles my Iron Hands 'The Flesh is Weak'-vibe

[@Petzkopf]

If you are also playing with legacy units, you should consider using Castra Ferrum Dreadnoughts as a shooting platform instead of contemptors. Twin lascannon plus helical targeting array is basically the same points as basic contemptor.

[@Wanten-the-stormtrooper]

As a budding Emperor's Children player with 2 Castraferrums planned to be included, this is great info! I'll be happy to replace at least some contemptors with castraferrums!

[@guilliman1990]

Currently printing of 9 6 for my legions forces an the last 3 for black shields

[@bartoszchronikarz6972]

I know next vid will probably be traitor focused, but i'd love to see your take on the Sagyar Mazan force you showed on the channel some time ago, but in HH 2.0. Now we have the Sagyar Mazan RoW, but Jetbikes have been, well shafted. But as i stated i'd love to see your try on this fore you once built

[@DarkKnightCuron]

Looking forward to more of these!

[@jasparbupre8944]

Good video, cant wait til there are more and more tanks though.

[@dpsmaztorbator]

loved this, more please. Plus 1 vote for a XIII legion themed list.

[@jamesr8666]

make that two :P

[@theunseenparagon7074]

Very helpful for building my list. If only the Blackshields could get their rules - I would be able to enhance my play with this video as a framework.

[@trajanthegreat2928]

Great video. Could you do a video on how to counter some of the strongest lists that people might run into like you did with the FotA pounder? Stuff like the IF Stone Gauntlet.

[@benjaminbrenner745]

Thank you! edit: Also that Salamanders list is beautiful :)

[@thexydis]

Hey Macca, I know you mentioned this on the preview vid, but I think you made a mistake with the raptors and terror assault being scoring. P197, Liber Hereticus only says they're able to be taken as troops, but there's no mention of them getting line-sub type

[@DawnTapping]

I wish at least Terror Squads were scoring.

[@jonathankilby6636]

So glad you're giving love to the sallies

[@Nazrick]

I ran a chaplain in terminator armour with ten C. Terminators. Worked great, rerolls were clutch against Mortarian and his goons.

[@titobenito43]

I have gotton good use out of casta ferrum dreads with dual lascannons. Used as support snipers insta killing characters and termies. As well as popping open vehicle.

[@dariostabletopbastelecke4846]

I am gonna watch this in 20min!

[@philobskera334]

Your videos are always good.

[@magicianman534]

Any thoughts on combi- disintegrators for apothecaries? Seems like it could be a cheeky way to spend a few extra points to have a solid chance of vaporizing a random terminator wanting to charge a tac squad once per game.

[@dariostabletopbastelecke4846]

8:30 Recon Squad!

[@matthewprior8466]

Trying to build my first salamanders army so this was a excellent vid for me,anymore salamanders list would be great

[@DemonAce18]

Thank you for the video. I would like to ask how you would build a Bitter Duty/Hatred (Traitors) Company of Bitter Iron focused Iron Hands force?

I'm going to build Alpha Legion, my base units are that of the HH1 Betrayal at Calth box. What would you advise as a next purchase to cement the force. Current units. x5 Cataphracti (either L Claws or heavy flamer, have parts to kitbash assault cannons) x30 MK4 Tactical marines x1 Cataphracti Captain with chainfist and stormbolter, melta combi. x1 MK4 captain with maul and plasma pistol x1 Rhino x1 Contemptor Dreadnought Primarch Alpharius.

[@tomdamoose2461]

Imo: Sniper marines Fulmentarus or tyrant seige terminators Something big and scary (aircraft, tank or something you like)

[@thatnewhobbyhigh]

I learnt a lot from this, I've been going about my army all wrong.

[@TheGeorgemcc]

Unfortunately neither Night Raptors nor Terror squads are scoring. Adding a librarian with the telepathy power to a Night Raptors squad is super filthy if you are feeling particularly mean

[@davidubois86]

Make the best possible TS list, please! Miss that ditch of yours… ;)

[@MrCitizen0]

Are u suggesting 4 apothecary? Or 2 ? When u show the image of them on ea army set up

[@tomdudley5314]

Really enjoyed the vid, great format and explanation of how the units work. Really liked your intital balanced/starter army as a foundational approach to building an army. From a personal viewpoint (Word Bearers PoV), I have no idea how 'balanced' stands up to any of those specialist/optimum lists you mentioned. Are those type of speciliast/optimum lists common within the meta?

[@cossoniebaum]

Unfortunately you have to take a centurion with the legion champion consul upgrade for the salamanders covenant of fire build. Awesome video though! You are amazing!

[@jamesespinosa690]

Thanks for the content Macca! Questions, why do you say objectives aren't as important this edition? What's changed?

[@MrCitizen0]

So aside from the dreadnoughts ans Sabres the daek angel list is all melee for or less?

[@biglabrat4248]

How many points is that Salamander list?

@Theoutercircle Im trying to run a destroyer themed army, what can i do to achieve this list thanks ?

[@lorgor4eva]

Great tips all round. Particularly felt the pain when covering nightlords I’m wanting something different with my word bearers with heavy assault infantry, destroyers, recons ect legion. So yeah please GW more troops less tanks please GW lol 😅

Damn. Good video this is what we needed !!!! No one else breaks it down like this well done

[@niallgeary94]

Ec and ts would be helpful

[@tdeidaratify]

Night Raptors and Terror are not scoring

[@TheOuterCircle]

Sorry, CONTESTING*

[@petercarlson8240]

I'd be interested to hear how many games of 2.0 you've played -? Not that you aren't presenting some good tips here, but I'm curious if this is advice gleaned from playing these lists or are these internet consensus lists?

[@ignitedxblaze]

sad times... night raptors and terror squads don't score....

[@briancampbell2030]

Why recon over scout squad? I’m new to this, but isn’t the only difference armor between the two?

[@ExileDCC]

Recon Squads have Line (scoring), while Scout Squads do not.

[@tomdudley5314]

Bit of side note from the main vid but how is your play testing of your D10 system going?

[@JasonPBury]

How many points is that Salamanders list? Very similar to what I am building right now.

[@JasonPBury]

Also doesnt covenant of fire need a legion champion to make it legal?

[@sergelevesque1575]

It does indeed, it look like 3500-4000

[@pimmoh5159]

like subscribe comment for the algorithm sequence intiated

[@andrewbakescakes9684]

Step 1) Start a new legion if you play IF or UM to help balance the meta in your area.* Step 2) Do not play TS unless you like Hard Mode. Step 3) ??? Step 4) Profit! * Also, they are the worst Mary Sues in the setting.

[@andrewbakescakes9684]

I wonder how FotA will get balanced. It is clearly almost as busted as UM units and IF rules. I think they should do ALL of the following: - Increase all dreadnaught point costs. - Lower dreadnaught M, BS, T, I and W values. Doritos can still be BS 5 though. - Make rules like Sunder and Exo-Shock work against them in some fashion. - Create a penalty condition for this RoW similar to DA conditions that give VP to the enemy if something is not achieved.

[@_0wl_]

Hey macca do you you think you could do a list build for an IF army centred around the templar assault RoW? My army is made around it, but I cant find many other lists to compare it to and I would love to get your take on it! I can also post my list if you would like to read it.

[@andrewdrednaught]

For the algorithm!

Iron warriors please. I'm just getting into the hobby and want to build a Iron warriors army so I'd like all the advice I can get.

[@toml7119]

Nice one Macca! Would love to see you run through what you think might be the strongest couple of lists for each of the Legions. Maybe one obvious one and then one lowkey underrated list that's slept on?

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

Power gaming isn't really what HH is about. 40k is for that

[@toml7119]

@@NapoleonicWargaming yeah cheers for that. Strong list =/= power gaming.

[@I_am-lost.]

Tbh, I'll always say what I say about 40k marines as well. Take what you think looks cool or is cool. Balance your list between busted and fun. Not everyone enjoys flat out winning, and no one enjoys flat out loosing

[@blitzblade8870]

Coment for algorithm

[@notare]

what points level are you playing at? Your Salamanders list is so wrong. With that rite of war you MUST take a centurion with the champion upgrade. So Cata. praetor, champion, 10 flamer marines, your 3 units of pyroclasts with transports, your unit of hammer+shield Firedrakes with transport comes to 2985 points, with no upgrades to the transports or any nonbasic gear on any characters. your list, still missing the required champion and any upgrades to anything, comes to 3465 points. Congrats, you get to play with flamer templates and lose against everything. what you're smelling isn't cheese, its garbage.

[@SacredGumby]

[@guilliman1990]

[@saschahein6332]
