My favorite battle field in the Heresy has got to be Tallarn, reading that omnibus full of massive armor battles through the virus bombed ruins of a once mighty imperial world was what got me interested in making a guard army.
Gotta go with Terra - Something about defending humanities homeworld is just extremely compelling in all Sci-Fi settings. Really looking forward to seeing your upcoming Horus Heresy campaign!
ok have to agree with terra as it is the place where the war was decided with heavy losses on both sides that affected the setting to this day (it was also where some of my favorite characters met there end
Holy Terra is of course the best location, specifically the throne room where Malcador gave his everything so the emperor could survive on the Golden Throne.
I have to say Macragge. I just love fortresses on top of mountains, it’s just such a medieval thing so it fits super well into the grim darkness of the far future. Plus, the idea of pushing some traitor space marines up a mountain path to invade a huge castle sounds epic.
Favourite battlefield is definitely Istvaan III. Managed to convince all my 9th friends to make HH armies, so I am excited to never have to think about secondary objectives again.
I think we can all agree that secondaries and stratagems can die a long a painful death. Excellent choice Istvaan III easily makes my top five! FOR THE LUNA WOLVES!
Could use tempest of war cards so you do t actually select secondaries, that is what I am going to do, or open war cards so secondaries aren’t even a thing :-)
@@Zorpazorp Personally, I don't think Secondaries are a bad idea. Just, you know, there should probably only ever be one of them per player per game. Not juggling three of them, plus whatever mission-specific "Tertiary" objective you have with the latest rules supplement. Between that and Stratagems, 9th edition is just too damn complicated.
I must say, the Mega Display is... something else. It's incredible, and it takes my breath away every time I see it. On the foam flock smoke, I think I saw it featured in a White Dwarf or something, many years ago or maybe from my dad and his railway model group. It's certainly something that's been in my toolbox for some time now. My intent was to make some exhaust plumes for my knights and admech vehicles, and to do some oil drum fires for scatter
Mars is definitely the best world battle-wise and history-wise. I loved the schism of mars and the huge battle that transpired during it. also home to the lovely martian mechanicum and dark mechanicum. as for why I'm excited about the new boxset and edition, I love me some beakies. I always loved their helmets and armors' clean-cut looks.
Segmentum Tempestus. If it was not for the ultramarines being sent out there, Horus would of had so much trouble with his conquest. I'm looking forward to the new boxes. a 2k army or so that I can teach to others and begin a new chapter with.
See now this is a really difficult question for me! On one hand I really love Signus Prime, the whole idea of this entire Hive City turned abandoned, with demonic forces manipulating the actual infrastructure to its whims really got me excited! On the other hand however, I've recently been listening to Pharos, and the idea of the assault on the mountain, leading into tight tunnel fighting between legions, a mix between the Shattered Legions & Ultramar's finest mortal troops facing off against the might of the 8th really spoke to me!
Hydra Cordatus - Storm of Iron iis my favourite 40k novel and the fact that they went back to it in the Horus Heresy novels and fleshed out even more of the history of the characters (many the same character) featuring in both makes it something special!
My favorite heresy location is Prospero just because I’m a massive Thousand Sons fan and can’t wait to finally get the chance to paint some nice shiny red armor.
Istvaan and the dropsite massacre that ensued, it was where the first huge act of Heresy began and brought legions to their knees, primarchs fell. The point of no return, and in the future had an absolutely legendary encounter between a Dreadnought Rylanor and his Primarch Fulgrim. Lots of history for the heresy there especially Istvaan V where the massacre took place.

The Stategium of the Vengeful Spirit. To see such a richly details environment in miniature would be amazing. Capturing the spirit and heart of the Great Crusade before the onset of the Heresy. A dream lost to ambition.
Being someone who started with Rogue Trader back in the late 80s, I am amazed at the talent displayed by so many. GW has improved exponentially, and yet even the average player/builder has improved with them. So much talent out there
At this point I am convinced that you have some epic dirt on your “friends”. You must have some pretty damning evidence against them where a name drop means it’s their time to serve. Keep it up, I am so pump for these builds!
Prospero is up there in favorite heresy locations. Magnus, Russ, Khan, and Mortarion all touched this world, and sometimes a conversation is just as good as a battle
I was there when it all began...part of the first generation.. I remember Rogue Trader...Back then the Heresy was little more than a myth, a legend. I was but 12 years old. 1987 and the aeons stretched out before us. I love me some Warhammer and 30K has me dribbling, raving as I was back then, times of yore, It seemed like magic to me, I remember I went weak at the knees...that fateful day when I first discovered the Emperors finest...His angels of death...the Space Marines! I tremble at the thought of your 30K content...Thank you brother...His light be upon you!
Love the vid! My favorite location of the heresy is definitely the war in the webway where the custodes stand. Theirs is the vigil that must never end!
My favorite location in the Heresy is Ark Reach Secundus. The silver archetecture in the mountain peaks made for some really beautiful descriptions from Graham McNeill. I liked the visual of the Avenian hawk riders so much that I almost made a small army using Craftworld rules and wood elf eagle riders a few years ago. Sadly didn't go through with it.
I live in the UK, and I've had the fortune to make the pilgrimage to Warhammer World a few times, and I still take time to go through the exhibition. That massive Angelus Prime diorama still takes my breath away each time I see it - there's so many little details, from duels, to standoffs, to small vignettes, and of course the Great Assassin Hunt! Still haven't found the sneaky bastard xD Can't wait to see your boards in their full glory!
My favourite Heresy location is Mars, the war between the Imperial Fists and the Heretic Mechanicum. Mars is a cool location anyway, but just imagine Space Marines fighting the strangest and most terrifying cyborgs and robots the Dark Mechanicum can devise! What I'm most excited about with a new edition of the Horus Heresy is all the new players it's going to bring in. What I REALLY LOVE about the Horus Heresy as a hobby is the uniqueness and individuality of everyone's armies and collections. The more people who collect, paint and play in the Heresy setting, the more cool models, conversions, kit-bashes and paint jobs we're going to see.
I've just started up a slow grow campaign with my mates so it's a bit cheezy but gotta say the custom forgeworld of Iander. Sides were 2 x Dark Angels and Ultramarines vs. Death Guard, Night Lords and Dark Mechanicum so themed it as a Forge World bordering Ultramar with a hidden webway gate through the Malestrom. Used your tutorials on how to make a Martian/Geonosian like board to build the main board and theme the other ones with scatter.
The archtraitors flagship has got to be the most epic place of the whole heresy. The death of Sanguinius, the clash between Horus and the Emperor. That is the place where history was made.
Can't wait for the future of your Lotr scenic tables: I love all your projects, and the last one you introduced, the Mines of Moria, promises to be epic! As for my favourite Horus Heresy location, I should probably go for Istvaan V as it symbolizes the tragic magnitude of the betrayal by Horus, but I also love Pluto, theatre of the battle between the Alpha Legion and the Imperial Fists that culminated in the death of Alpharius (was it him 'tho!) by the hand of Rogal Dorn
The burning of prospero is my all time favourite battle in Warhammer. I'm looking forward to the new edition so my dad and I can spend a weekend building, painting and playing the box set together
Gotta love the siege of terra Earths last stand type things always get me hype. I'm super excited to see the campaign you guys have put together and the heresy has always been a favorite setting of mine so this should be awesome.
My favorite battlefield is such a toss up between Terra itself and Istvaan V. Both iconic scenes, where the Heresy began and where the final blow was struck against both the Imperium and the traitors.
Perturabo's maze is one of my favorite horus heresy locations. The play between someone who can never die and someone who desperately wants to break and kill him using an impossible maze is just really really good.
As a Dark Angels player, my favourite heresy location has to be Caliban where the Dark Angels really sealed their own fate for the next 10,000 years. Honestly the most exciting thing about the new heresy edition is all the cool new plastic kits for things like Dreadnoughts and vehicles. That new leviathan revealed yesterday especially!
The Planet known Murder (featured in the Fulgrim novel) is probably my favourite, it's an evocative name, weird alien plants and gribbly beasts and would be a fun gameboard to make complete with classic spiky fungal plant things!
Istvaan III is too good. The fighting across the city, the titan battening down the hatches for virus bombs, followed by the defence and eventual betrayal. So many iconic scenes with some of the greatest characters of the Heresy books
Not an often talked about location or battle, but the simply named Battle of Pluto holds special fascination to me. Of course, image of the battle are dominated by the duel between Rogal Dorn and Alpharius. However, what captures my imagination are the beautiful contrasts in the scene. You have the normal 40K play between gothic cathedral like architecture and sci-fi industrial, but then you have these enormous panoramic windows that open up onto the worlds icy crags, all backdropped against deep space and the planets of our solar system. There is a cold, clean sterility to it all.
I love how the exhibition does Prospero so I have to chose there as my location and I am so excited for the new models that will come out in a slightly different style to general 40k
Favourite location has got to be Terra, mostly due to the "holy sh*t" feeling I get when I imagine the pure scale of the Siege, and the intense city fighting and siege warfare gameplay that can be done with the planet as a setting for a gaming table.
Having recently been researching my Adeptus Titanicus legion - the Legio Vulturum. The Defence of Ryza has to be some of the coolest sounding battles in the whole of the Heresy
Tallarn is a cool place in the heresy, I love the fact that the Iron Warriors absolutely annihilated it and we see the effects of that in Tallarn's 40k appearance! It's always so fun to see things like that in games.
My favorite place in the HH is the planet when Corvus fights the traitor Raven Guard, it's best described a looking like the Karadon Overlords vs Skaven diorama, floating cities above toxic clouds
Probably the Istvan Drop Site Massacre, it was such a big turning point in the heresy and was one of my favorite moments to hear about. It could be an awesome setting for a campaign, as most of the Legions were there, so there's a lot of leeway for creativity.
Loving the attack on Calth. My 1st 40K army was Ultramarines, and their history adds so much to the Horus heresy and the history of Space Marines in the Imperium.
My favourite location in hh is Prospero because of the architecture, and I am excited for the new edition because it means that this hobby won't be neglected as much.
One of my favourite battlegrounds of the Heresy has to be the Pharos Beacon in Ultramar, something pretty cool about an ancient teleportation device that no one understands being the central point of a battle. As for why I'm looking forwards to the new rule set, it's gotta be the new kits and finally, pickable Warlord Traits, something I've wanted for a long time!
Terra. As many others have said here, there's just something special about humanity defending their home. Additionally, it lets you recreate Magnus breaking the Emperor's warp gate project and allowing untold numbers of daemons loose in the imperial palace. XD
I think I have to mirror a lot of other votes and put my favourite down as Istvaan V. So much story, so much raw emotions and so much begins and ends on that blood soaked planet that it echoes back onto the earliest moments of the heresy and long after its end. Reason #3 for being excited for HH is that myself and others are already eagerly setting down plans for running our own series of campaigns and narrative stories in the Age of Darkness.
Favorite Horus Heresy location has to be Prospero. A glittering beacon of enlightenment in Tizca hiding terrible secrets just at the edge of perception, much like the Thousand Sons themselves.
My favorite location within the heresy would be Holy Terra, for a multitude of things happend but most of all the first templar was reborn. Another reason why I love this is becuase it is a great way to get into HH without needing to sell an organ.
My favorite battlefield has to be Prospero (Tizca specifically, since the rest of the planet is literally uninhabitable). The shining city on a hill being laid low by the uncivilized barbarian horde is a tale as old as civilization, and the added layers of hypocrisy from Russ's Legion's blatant violation of the Edict of Nikaea while pillaging the home of the Thousand Sons for the same is just *chef's kiss*.
Calth is my favourite location in the heresy, it is where the true nature of chaos is revealed to the unsuspecting imperium. Word Bearers are my favourite faction so that helps!
Istvaan III where the heresy officially started is without a doubt my favorit location. The beautiful city in ruins, brothers versus brothers, fathers against sons, the sting of betrayal and the desperat last stand of the loyalist, perfect. Plastic 30k tanks... I WANT YOU!
Great content! This Campaign series will be ace if the teases are anything to go by! My favourite Battleground is Istvaan 3 - the stories of heartbreak as your Father and Brothers virus bomb you and the duel between Loken and Abaddon!
As a Wordbearers collector, Calth is my favourite setting (got to enjoy seeing some revenge for monarchia!), Beta-garmin also gets a strong mention because of the titan insanity! Your campaign looks super exciting, can't wait!
This looks insane!!!! Amazing to see your new heresy boards and inside the WW studio. It's such an incredible tribute to the hobby. For me my two favourite legions are the Night Lords and Dark Angels so I'm going to be recreating different aspects of the Thramas Crusade. Early days but already started on a ship board for the interior of the Invincible Reason!
Mine is terra as it is where the greatest sorrow occurs with the interment of the emperor and many other amazing moments, as well as the many factions which call it home. Also the fact that it holds so many lost and forgotten secrets hidden under its scard surface that could lead to either humanity's salvation or its destruction...
Favourite location during the heresy, I think, has to be the Vengeful Spirit. So much happens there, far from the least of which is the death of Sanguinius and the final showdown between the Emperor and Horus. I think it also in some way reflects the changes of the Luna Wolves and their fall alongside their beloved Lupercal. Where once we saw noble warship, one of the greatest in the galaxy and home to Garviel Loken and his brothers, we now see a terrible, corrupted spear, aimed at the heart of the Imperium
Fantastic video, as always tbh... Have to say Prospero is my favourite location. Cannot wait for this release to kick start my long overdue venture in collecting and playing Horus Heresy games.

That Orbital station is looking sharp :P
Needs more consoles ;)
Gotta go with Terra - Something about defending humanities homeworld is just extremely compelling in all Sci-Fi settings. Really looking forward to seeing your upcoming Horus Heresy campaign!
Ktyjuitûk
Terra, the homeworld of humanity, the impenetrable fortress of the imperium and the residence of the Emperor himself.
ok have to agree with terra as it is the place where the war was decided with heavy losses on both sides that affected the setting to this day (it was also where some of my favorite characters met there end
I think the dropsite massacre is my favorite place. It’s just something about the grand betrayal makes me so sad about it but it’s really cool.
It's hard to choose between all the awesome locations, but I'd have to go with Istvaan III
Excellent choice Louie! Istvaan III easily makes my top five! FOR THE LUNA WOLVES!
"Enact the greatest act of self defense in the history of warhammer and save themselves from the villains in blue." Fixed that for you :^)
Them be fighting words!
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh well looky looky, seems we got ourselves a little Zealot of Lorgar. GET HIM BOYS!
It's funny you lorgar boys always take swips at the blue boys but we still spanked you in the heresy and everytime after that 😜
Yeah purge those Tau bastards
@@Zorpazorp BOOK IT LADS, WE CANT STAB THE TRAITOR FROM OVER HERE!
Holy Terra is of course the best location, specifically the throne room where Malcador gave his everything so the emperor could survive on the Golden Throne.
I have to say Macragge. I just love fortresses on top of mountains, it’s just such a medieval thing so it fits super well into the grim darkness of the far future. Plus, the idea of pushing some traitor space marines up a mountain path to invade a huge castle sounds epic.

It it looks fantastic, I loooove the cool granularity the technique brings to explosion effects!
The Prospero diorama was absolutely, mind-blowingly amazing. Big Toof River is now a solid second place.
It's uttelry stunning isn't it. It might actually be my fav too.
Mars is definitely the best world battle-wise and history-wise. I loved the schism of mars and the huge battle that transpired during it. also home to the lovely martian mechanicum and dark mechanicum. as for why I'm excited about the new boxset and edition, I love me some beakies.

Segmentum Tempestus. If it was not for the ultramarines being sent out there, Horus would of had so much trouble with his conquest. I'm looking forward to the new boxes. a 2k army or so that I can teach to others and begin a new chapter with.
“Have no fear” I see what you did there.
Hehehehehehehehe
See now this is a really difficult question for me! On one hand I really love Signus Prime, the whole idea of this entire Hive City turned abandoned, with demonic forces manipulating the actual infrastructure to its whims really got me excited!

The Stategium of the Vengeful Spirit.
To see such a richly details environment in miniature would be amazing. Capturing the spirit and heart of the Great Crusade before the onset of the Heresy. A dream lost to ambition.

Tyranids swarming the Space Wolves will always have a special place in my heart hehe

There were so many incredible battlegrounds but Terra has to take the cake as the culmination of so many battles and storylines.
At this point I am convinced that you have some epic dirt on your “friends”. You must have some pretty damning evidence against them where a name drop means it’s their time to serve. Keep it up, I am so pump for these builds!
HAHAHAHAHA I'm sending this to the boys
Prospero! What a wild ride of events that took place there. Plus the pyramids are just awesome.
Prospero is up there in favorite heresy locations. Magnus, Russ, Khan, and Mortarion all touched this world, and sometimes a conversation is just as good as a battle
I was there when it all began...part of the first generation.. I remember Rogue Trader...Back then the Heresy was little more than a myth, a legend.

And also with you Phil, THE EMPEROR PROTECTS! Strap mate you're going to LOOOOVE what I've got cooking up
Holy Terra of course! Nothing better than a glorious battle on home turf! I’m excited for this box due to new gameplay, and new models
Love the vid! My favorite location of the heresy is definitely the war in the webway where the custodes stand. Theirs is the vigil that must never end!
I love in the Horus Heresy when they fight the battle of Helms Deep. The ultramarines on the ladders scaling the walls is just such a great scene.
Favorite heresy location is Prospero. I love the idea of the Wolves fighting through big libraries and galleries and parks on Prospero.
Thank you , ZZ .
Very welcome Loupis :)
My favorite location in the Heresy is Ark Reach Secundus. The silver archetecture in the mountain peaks made for some really beautiful descriptions from Graham McNeill. I liked the visual of the Avenian hawk riders so much that I almost made a small army using Craftworld rules and wood elf eagle riders a few years ago. Sadly didn't go through with it.
This is insane! I am so jelly you got to make this pilgrimage! So amazing and hope that someday I can as well!
I live in the UK, and I've had the fortune to make the pilgrimage to Warhammer World a few times, and I still take time to go through the exhibition. That massive Angelus Prime diorama still takes my breath away each time I see it - there's so many little details, from duels, to standoffs, to small vignettes, and of course the Great Assassin Hunt! Still haven't found the sneaky bastard xD
Can't wait to see your boards in their full glory!
I've been a Thousand Sons fan for as long as I can remember and as such I love Prospero, the burning of which is one of my favourite bits of lore.
My favourite Heresy location is Mars, the war between the Imperial Fists and the Heretic Mechanicum. Mars is a cool location anyway, but just imagine Space Marines fighting the strangest and most terrifying cyborgs and robots the Dark Mechanicum can devise!
What I'm most excited about with a new edition of the Horus Heresy is all the new players it's going to bring in. What I REALLY LOVE about the Horus Heresy as a hobby is the uniqueness and individuality of everyone's armies and collections.

Used your tutorials on how to make a Martian/Geonosian like board to build the main board and theme the other ones with scatter.
Caliban! A planet that it’s own monarch blows into crumbs? Absolutely amazing story.
My favourite location is Caliban. I love the forests, mountains and castles combined with grim dark sci fi tech.
Love your work Zorp keep it up!
The archtraitors flagship has got to be the most epic place of the whole heresy. The death of Sanguinius, the clash between Horus and the Emperor. That is the place where history was made.
I like the seige of Terra. Giant Titans grinding through the walls, epic.
Can't wait for the future of your Lotr scenic tables: I love all your projects, and the last one you introduced, the Mines of Moria, promises to be epic! As for my favourite Horus Heresy location, I should probably go for Istvaan V as it symbolizes the tragic magnitude of the betrayal by Horus, but I also love Pluto, theatre of the battle between the Alpha Legion and the Imperial Fists that culminated in the death of Alpharius (was it him 'tho!) by the hand of Rogal Dorn
Terra for sure, I love titans so just imagining the epic battles fought by the titan battalions would be so sick.
Awesome video 😊 favourite heresy location, will always be Caliban, love the stories there 😁
The burning of prospero is my all time favourite battle in Warhammer. I'm looking forward to the new edition so my dad and I can spend a weekend building, painting and playing the box set together
Gotta love the siege of terra Earths last stand type things always get me hype. I'm super excited to see the campaign you guys have put together and the heresy has always been a favorite setting of mine so this should be awesome.
My favorite battlefield is such a toss up between Terra itself and Istvaan V. Both iconic scenes, where the Heresy began and where the final blow was struck against both the Imperium and the traitors.
Favorite location would have to be the vengeful spirit. Desperate last stand for dozens of heavy hitters for both humanity and chaos, it's amazing.
It's suuuuch a great location, so much atmosphere!
Perturabo's maze is one of my favorite horus heresy locations. The play between someone who can never die and someone who desperately wants to break and kill him using an impossible maze is just really really good.
Oh man I forgot about that, what a fun build that would be!
As a Dark Angels player, my favourite heresy location has to be Caliban where the Dark Angels really sealed their own fate for the next 10,000 years. Honestly the most exciting thing about the new heresy edition is all the cool new plastic kits for things like Dreadnoughts and vehicles. That new leviathan revealed yesterday especially!
The Planet known Murder (featured in the Fulgrim novel) is probably my favourite, it's an evocative name, weird alien plants and gribbly beasts and would be a fun gameboard to make complete with classic spiky fungal plant things!
I lovd reading all about Terra and the siege, amazing storytelling around there.
Istvaan III is too good. The fighting across the city, the titan battening down the hatches for virus bombs, followed by the defence and eventual betrayal. So many iconic scenes with some of the greatest characters of the Heresy books
Not an often talked about location or battle, but the simply named Battle of Pluto holds special fascination to me. Of course, image of the battle are dominated by the duel between Rogal Dorn and Alpharius. However, what captures my imagination are the beautiful contrasts in the scene.

There is a cold, clean sterility to it all.
I love how the exhibition does Prospero so I have to chose there as my location and I am so excited for the new models that will come out in a slightly different style to general 40k
My favorite location is Mighty Terra for that last stand of good vs. evil I am super excited to build and paint up some awesome alpha legion
Favourite location has got to be Terra, mostly due to the "holy sh*t" feeling I get when I imagine the pure scale of the Siege, and the intense city fighting and siege warfare gameplay that can be done with the planet as a setting for a gaming table.
Having recently been researching my Adeptus Titanicus legion - the Legio Vulturum. The Defence of Ryza has to be some of the coolest sounding battles in the whole of the Heresy
Tallarn is a cool place in the heresy, I love the fact that the Iron Warriors absolutely annihilated it and we see the effects of that in Tallarn's 40k appearance! It's always so fun to see things like that in games.
My favorite place in the HH is the planet when Corvus fights the traitor Raven Guard, it's best described a looking like the Karadon Overlords vs Skaven diorama, floating cities above toxic clouds

Probably the Istvan Drop Site Massacre, it was such a big turning point in the heresy and was one of my favorite moments to hear about. It could be an awesome setting for a campaign, as most of the Legions were there, so there's a lot of leeway for creativity.
Loving the attack on Calth. My 1st 40K army was Ultramarines, and their history adds so much to the Horus heresy and the history of Space Marines in the Imperium.
Favourite location was definatly "Murder" such an awesome planet crawling with those Megaracnids!
My favourite location in hh is Prospero because of the architecture, and I am excited for the new edition because it means that this hobby won't be neglected as much.
One of my favourite battlegrounds of the Heresy has to be the Pharos Beacon in Ultramar, something pretty cool about an ancient teleportation device that no one understands being the central point of a battle.
As for why I'm looking forwards to the new rule set, it's gotta be the new kits and finally, pickable Warlord Traits, something I've wanted for a long time!
Has to be the entire ultra sector there just so many glorious battles and fights that took place over so many different worlds.
Dropsite Massacre is probs my favorite. Just ambush scenarios have a special place in my heart.
Nothing is more iconic to HH than Terra itself!!
Terra.
As many others have said here, there's just something special about humanity defending their home.
Additionally, it lets you recreate Magnus breaking the Emperor's warp gate project and allowing untold numbers of daemons loose in the imperial palace. XD
I think I have to mirror a lot of other votes and put my favourite down as Istvaan V. So much story, so much raw emotions and so much begins and ends on that blood soaked planet that it echoes back onto the earliest moments of the heresy and long after its end. Reason #3 for being excited for HH is that myself and others are already eagerly setting down plans for running our own series of campaigns and narrative stories in the Age of Darkness.
Mars of course! Very intriguing reading about the Mechanicum, them having their own culture and beliefs while being allied to the Imperium.
Yeah it's a great book and a great location!
My favorite battle field is my painting table, blood is lost and tears are shed. Curses of revenge are cast upon soldiers and I still end up losing...
Favorite Horus Heresy location has to be Prospero. A glittering beacon of enlightenment in Tizca hiding terrible secrets just at the edge of perception, much like the Thousand Sons themselves.
My favorite location within the heresy would be Holy Terra, for a multitude of things happend but most of all the first templar was reborn. Another reason why I love this is becuase it is a great way to get into HH without needing to sell an organ.
My favorite battlefield has to be Prospero (Tizca specifically, since the rest of the planet is literally uninhabitable). The shining city on a hill being laid low by the uncivilized barbarian horde is a tale as old as civilization, and the added layers of hypocrisy from Russ's Legion's blatant violation of the Edict of Nikaea while pillaging the home of the Thousand Sons for the same is just *chef's kiss*.
Thank you for being our terrainguy on the ground over there :D I hope you get to do a ton of projects
Loving these videos my man! Super excited to see all these upcoming videos and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in to Horus heresy!
My favorite location is terra and I am so excited to see the new sculpts as they look amazing. Also excited for the new plastic contemptor.
Definitely gotta be Prospero or even the invasion of Terra! Great stuff Locke!
Calth is my favourite location in the heresy, it is where the true nature of chaos is revealed to the unsuspecting imperium. Word Bearers are my favourite faction so that helps!
My absolute favourite is istvann 5 because of how important the planet is to my chapter, the iron hands
Istvaan III where the heresy officially started is without a doubt my favorit location. The beautiful city in ruins, brothers versus brothers, fathers against sons, the sting of betrayal and the desperat last stand of the loyalist, perfect.
Plastic 30k tanks... I WANT YOU!
I really like Pluto. I feel it is simple enough to be easier to make and familiar enough to feel that a battle could happen there
Favourite location by far is Mars, the fight between the loyalists and the dark mechanicum with their weird tech is just too cool
Great content! This Campaign series will be ace if the teases are anything to go by!
My favourite Battleground is Istvaan 3 - the stories of heartbreak as your Father and Brothers virus bomb you and the duel between Loken and Abaddon!
As a Wordbearers collector, Calth is my favourite setting (got to enjoy seeing some revenge for monarchia!), Beta-garmin also gets a strong mention because of the titan insanity! Your campaign looks super exciting, can't wait!
Holy shit this is fucking amazing. The narrative campaign looks like what I've wanted from narrative batreps
This looks insane!!!! Amazing to see your new heresy boards and inside the WW studio. It's such an incredible tribute to the hobby. For me my two favourite legions are the Night Lords and Dark Angels so I'm going to be recreating different aspects of the Thramas Crusade. Early days but already started on a ship board for the interior of the Invincible Reason!
My favorite I th8bk is Isstvaan 3! The incredible city fighting described is something I can't wait to see on your Zorpa hive!
Mine is terra as it is where the greatest sorrow occurs with the interment of the emperor and many other amazing moments, as well as the many factions which call it home. Also the fact that it holds so many lost and forgotten secrets hidden under its scard surface that could lead to either humanity's salvation or its destruction...
Terra is the best location. The home advantage and World city vibe is great!
Vengeful Spirit, hopefully see that scene in cinema one day fingers crossed
Favourite location during the heresy, I think, has to be the Vengeful Spirit. So much happens there, far from the least of which is the death of Sanguinius and the final showdown between the Emperor and Horus. I think it also in some way reflects the changes of the Luna Wolves and their fall alongside their beloved Lupercal. Where once we saw noble warship, one of the greatest in the galaxy and home to Garviel Loken and his brothers, we now see a terrible, corrupted spear, aimed at the heart of the Imperium
Fantastic video, as always tbh... Have to say Prospero is my favourite location. Cannot wait for this release to kick start my long overdue venture in collecting and playing Horus Heresy games.
Mate, I'm loving all this content! Great stuff mate, shame to have missed you!
