Emperors Children Legion Guide - Horus Heresy 2.0 

What excited me about the 3rd Legion was Saul Tarvitz and the other loyalists from traitor legions, it made me want to build an Istvaan III themed Emperor's Children force. That, and painting purple is a lot of fun!

Phoenix Terminators Tip of the Day: Take them as a retinue for a Warlord with the Paragon of Excellence Warlord Trait and focus on bullying targets they're better against (e.g. troops and dreadnoughts). Don't worry about getting charged later... Opponent declares a charge and you use the "Hold the Line" reaction... Your spears have Reach so you're likely striking first anyway but Paragon of Excellence will trigger +1WS. With Sonic Shriekers your opponent is probably hitting you on 6s. If for some reason your opponent is hitting you on 5s (e.g. they're immune to fear) you can use "Perfect Guard" to make them hit you on 6s anyway and with "Living Icons" there's a good chance you can win combat by parrying. If your Warlord is in a challenge, he can still choose a different Skill Unmatched option.

Fulgrim’s Bulky (6) must take into account space for his ego

Thanks for doing these legion reviews. Very appreciated to further my understanding

The palatine blades can use jump packs via the legacy unit. But yeah two editions of phoenix terms being junk is quite sad. Such gorgeous models as well

Thanks for the video.

You recommend not taking Lucius & Fulgrim because only one can have Laer blade. For one I think Nineteen is better and Laer is a trap (saves points, more attacks), but the main thing you're sleeping on here is Lucius will supercharge Fulgrim by giving him Preferred Enemy (IC). Any Primarch that mightve stood a chance is now surely toast

*licks teeth in anticipation *

Pretty sure the IVth turned tail on Terra and ran away also.....

The main reason to take Saul Tarvitz is for narrative reasons I think!

What I find weird is that somehow you can see thru a smoke screen and shrouded with night vision, but not with the EC sonic radar. ”Fysiks!” -James Workshop.

I actually quite rate nineteen on Lucius rending 3+ and cheaper I do think is the better option

What are some great Centurion consuls for this Legion?

Phenix are also all characters meaning they can all take one wounds before losing a model in the squad, which is a huge deal They are a very good defensive unit with skill unmacthed + shriekers On the opposite I fond the palatine blades to be a crappy unit as they are way too expensive for what they bring Compare them with a regular vet squad and the palatine blade will feel bad :( Too bad the models are so good for bad rules... On a sidenote they pay a very cheap price for their jump pack compared to other units such as reavers/rampagers
