Decided after staring at an unfinished titan for the past year to part with it an start a preheresy army. Don't want to go with an army I currently have like Dark Angels or Space Wolves.

Which Legion would you choose an why?

I hear the 2nd legion isn't done by a lot of players, so that should be something that would stand out.

Out of the armies that currently have rules, I would go with Luna Wolves or Emprah's Children, however, a pre heresy Iron Warriors army would be very cool, and preheresy Thousand Sons will match your wolves very nicely.

I dunno with Angron being the first released by FW I think you will see a lot of World Eaters. I was thinking maybe loyalist Luna Wolves or a different traitor legion. Maybe thousand Sons.

To be honest I havent seen that many World Eaters painting blogs around, even with the Angron model released. If people wanted Angron, they'll get Angron and not necessarily make a World Eaters force out of it, not to mention that all the Primarchs are eventually coming out anyways. Since Betrayal came out, I have noticed a lot of Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus though (with many variations of that sea-green power armour).

The problem I see with any chapter is how to make it distinct. A pre heresy spacewolf legion would be difficult to do. It has to be more than just shoulder pads an armour color.

The Blue and White World Eaters are pretty slick looking.

I'm going with a Librarian heavy, pre-heresy Black Templars army.

another vote for Dorn's boys. If they were good enough for the Emperor to pick them to take back to Terra, who are we to argue?

So you are building Imperial Fists then? Since the Black Templars are a successor chapter and didn't appear until after the heresy...

Why limit yourself to one, make a amalgamation of units from pre-heresy legions.
