Hi guys, as the 1st legion is coming full on to the Horus Heresy with the Road to Thramas, I'm thinking it's time for me to start playing Horus Heresy.

So I'm looking for the rulebook and army lists in any condition. Thanks.

Ebay usually has HH books. And there are... "Russian Vacation Photos" out there, if your group/club isn't too picky about that sort of thing.

Otherwise, if you're starting Horus Heresy and using actual models, then the price of the rulebooks should be negligible somewhere around the quadruple-digit dollar amount.

That's the problem, everything is expensive af.. That's why I'm try to get the books at least second handed.

And the Russian friends is a no go, can't find it anywhere except the campaign books.. Found everything else except for this

My advice, as a former HH player, is to really make the best of the plastic Mk 3 and Mk 4 kits, get them as often as you can.

And our Chinese friends often times produce things of variable quality. Sometimes they're better than the Forge World kits. Sometimes you get a "It's a Sicaran in a funhouse mirror". And sometimes, you spend hours looking for the assembly instructions online and when you finally get them, you realize the reason you were confused is because you're missing a piece. So, I would say if you're gonna do it illegitimate, you're better buying from the Móguǐ you know and have seen the quality. Otherwise, be prepared to spend just as much money as you would being authentic, and having a collection of warped or incomplete models alongside your decent ones.

And I would also suggest getting really good at conversions, if you're not good already. Trying to get "the actual kit" from Forge World for everything will cost you a lot of money. If you buy the "upgrade kits" for your legion, I suggest only using them for veterans or special units. Shapeways is your friend.

Ivan needs time, that's all. Just give him time. He always comes through.

I'm keeping this in the Swap Shop for now because it seems like you're trying to see if you can get the books on here.

Hi Jin! Ok, sorry for that

Originally I really just wanted some second hand Age of Darkness rulebook and Army Lists. Can't find any on ebay or other trading.

I'll read the rules of the swap shop right away.
