I'm listening to "Tales of the Heresy" audiobook now and slowly working my way through the Hersey series (I've read two Primarch books so far as well).
In my opinion, the Horus Hersey has to be the focus of the Netflix series. Yes, there are a ton of books in that series, but the narrative trajectory is actually pretty simple and could be told in six 12 episode seasons (not every book would make its way into it obviously, but the broader points could all be done). |

Not Netflix. It'd be so woke, it'd be retitled, the Whorus Heresy, where Whorus is grrrl powered and had to take out the emperor's patriarchy. On topic, I'd love to see it in video format, if done correctly. Like Helsreach storytelling with Astartes quality graphics. |

Thinking about starting a Guard army. Took a look at the new Cadians. Nice figures but not sure I like the new lasguns. Looks weird without the pistol grip. A mix of the old Cadian rifle with the Krieg pattern.

I can afford it, but I can't justify it. The classic setup where on a turn one player goes with his entire army, then the other player goes. I've been playing historicals like Bolt Action where you have activation dice for each unit and these are drawn from a bag and you use these to activate units. Or Chain of Command where you roll dice and can use those to activate Leaders who can then give orders to units. Depending on your roll you may not be able to activate anything, you may get to roll again immediately, the turn may end, etc. The activation is more random and barring wild crazy luck you can't table someone, or just assume you can activate all your units on the table in a speciic order. Its more popular in modern games use some kind of mechanic where unit activation is more random. I prefer Chain of Command for WW2 and a lot of that is the activation mechanic. I'm getting into Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game and while its A mix of I GO, U Go, but you do each phase for both players before moving to the next phase. So its a mix. |

I don't want to side rail the WH40K thread, but Battletech is similar but different. You take turns moving and attacking units within each phase, then damage or status changes are resolved at the end of the turn to take effect next turn. Bolt Action looks real interesting. World War Tesla is very much 40k, move everyone at once, which helps the kids stay focused and eyes on the table. 40K related. I'm loving the books so far. I'm on the seventh book, Legion, and its great. Highly recommend. Get an e-reader though, I wasn't able to find many of them physical. |

Right now I'm just sticking to the Lore, but man I love Warhammer Horus Hersey period.
It will take a lot for me to sit down and actually put models together and paint them right now given my hobbies of Jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket) upgrading, firearms, and airsoft. Plus, I want to get into building a gaming PC at some point this winter...I have way too many expensive hobbies. |

Shot some primer today. Saul Tarvitz, the AoD sword Praetor who is going to be Solomon Demeter for my girl to paint, She likes the Loyalist Emperor's Children. Some Sisters for my niece to paint. For my XIII Legion force, I've got Bobby G, and the Sergeant with the bolter is Selaton, Ventanus' Sergeant on Calth. Reprimed Ventanus too. Had to strip him and start over after screwing up with Contrast paint. First time using it. Not sure I like it.

Fulgrim really didn't Fall, he was possessed and what happened to his legion was horrible. |

His visor showed him target icons, though. A decent number. A moderate challenge to fill an afternoon. How many of them would be his? He considered, for a moment, resetting his tally counter. The number, a long one now, throbbed in the bottom left of his visor display. Most Astartes-pattern warplate had this function. Some called it a kill-counter. It had its uses, for making swift tactical assessments during a prosecution or an engagement. Khârn had never really bothered with it. His kind of warfare had little use for such fripperies. He’d just left it running, unmonitored. It had been running since the first day of his career. When the number started to get quite large, he had become fascinated by it. The counter held a fetishistic interest now, a simple reminder of his advancing, unmatched progress. He wasn’t superstitious like some legionaries, but it seemed unreasonable to reset it. He wanted, privately, to see how high it could get. Did it ever reach a number it couldn’t surpass? Roll back over to zero and start again? Did it have a limit? It might, but Kharn believed he didn't. The rest of the Traitor Legions are fighting the Long War. Kharn's just playing Live Action DOOM for the high score.... |

There are some grumblings on social media that War Hammer isn't "grim dark" enough anymore, but I think bringing back the Primarchs is actually a good move. The story is a little stagnant as of late and I think bringing back both the loyalist and traitor primarchs would be a good move story wise.
