This page is designed to be a useful repository of information for anyone interested in playing games in The Horus Heresy.
I've spent some time compiling different links to all kinds of useful places on the internet that might help any newcomers or veterans to the Age of Darkness. This includes Heresy blogs, Unit Reviews, Alternative Miniature companies that fit the Heresy aesthetic as well as general tactica articles and opinion pieces.
Please feel free to use and share these sources far and wide for everyone to enjoy :)
Additionally if you know of any useful resources that deserve inclusion please either comment below or email me at 30kplus40k@gmail.com and I'll add them to the list :)
Horus Heresy Blogs (or blogs with Heresy Content)
These are varied in how central the Horus Heresy is to the blog, but large blogs such as Battle Bunnies, despite not being 30k focused have a lot of Horus Heresy content if you follow the page tags :)

Horus Heresy Book Reviews
Horus Heresy Forums
If you want a space to talk exclusively about the Heresy and actively discuss tactics rather than just reading someone elses opinion, I highly recommend forums! Facebook can also be used for that sort of debate, but I find forums are a much kinder place in general where flame wars so common on facebook are mitigated by the power of the ban hammer and active moderators.
Heresy 30k
Heresy Online
The First Expedition
The Great Crusade
Unit Reviews
None of these are comprehensive so you might have to jump around to find the units and information you want :)

30kplus40k - Legiones Astartes
30kplus40k - Mechanicum
The New Zealand Wordbearers (not updated for a long while but still some useful content)
Tactica
DISCLAIMER - 1d4chan has bad language throughout its posts and adult humour, BUT it is an excellent resource to wrap your head around the vast array of units and rules available in 30k (and 40k), but use at your own moral peril.
Legiones Astartes - 1d4chan
Mechanicum - 1d4chan

Podcasts
These podcasts vary from being Horus Heresy specific, to just containing the Horus Heresy as part of their broad wargaming content. But they all have dedicated followings and are noted for their quality of production, content or both!

Third Party Miniatures
Yes Forge World is very expensive, and also, well, the same? Sometimes you want to spice your miniatures up with additional bits and bobs, or even build a whole army out of third party miniatures. These are your go to sites to have a look around and pick and choose as you please. Some are cheaper than FW some are the same or more, but they will definitely make your army pop in a unique way!
Kromlech - Mostly Legion alternatives
Spellcrow - Mostly Legion alternatives
MaxMini - Mostly Legion alternatives
Anvil Industry - Excellent for Legion and Imperial Militia with their regiment builder
Blood and Skulls Industry - Amazing (but pricey) tank/vehicle conversion kits
Laser Cut Candies - Excellently priced custom shields and tank panels
Puppetswar - Some excellent machines for Dark Mechanicum and Imperial Militia
Wargame Exclusive Miniatures - Some excellent Legion kits and some (none raunchy) mechanicum
Scibor Miniatures - Legion alternatives (too chunky for my taste) and great scenic bases
Hi-Tech Miniatures - Legion alternatives (chunky again) and some awesome mechanicum magos
Ramshackle Games - Great vehicles for Imperial Militia
Victoria Miniatures - Great for Imperial Militia again
Mastercrafted - Legion Conversion parts and other assorted awesome
Authors Note
PLEASE please comment if you have things that deserve to be added to any of these lists, this is designed to be a living growing resource for Heresy players, so that they can find all of these things in one place rather than having lots of lost bookmarks over their browser. If you help, it'll only get better :)
Peace out,
Rob
This is a great idea, and if its ok, I think I will add it to the resource page I have created on my blog of the content I have done ( and I am probably going to steal the list of blogs etc to put on the one I have)
ReplyDeleteBy all means! Just stick a little credit somewhere if that's ok :) whats your blog? I'll add it to the roll!
