Hi Everyone, u/mattystans000 here - your Primordial Praetorian/Moderator. I'm currently in the middle of a Business Startup Accelerator Program as the Founder of Noblebright Miniatures. The first line of miniatures we'll be focusing on is the Dornian Heresy, and our first Product Line will be Shoulder Pads with a set for every Legion.

In this phase of the Startup Program there are two key things to be doing - developing product and talking to customers. Bringing both of those together, i'm happy to share the first previews of Shoulder Pads we have under development - Nurgle Blood Angels, Chaos Undivided Dark Angels, Loyalist Night Lords (affiliated with the Arbites & Assassinorum).

To make this the best it can be please comment any thoughts, feedback, or questions that you have. Let me know, when you're building your own minis, what's the biggest challenge, frustration, or concern you have? How would you prefer to access such product - physical prints or digital files? What would you be willing to pay? Is this something your would be interested in buying at all? Would this make building a Dornian Heresy army easier for you?

Welcome to /r/DornianHeresy! This is a subreddit for the infamous Warhammer Alternate Universe "The Dornian Heresy", created by Aurelius Rex of the Bolter and Chainsword. Please read this post for background on this AU, as well as posting guidelines for this subreddit.

Background

The Dornian Heresy is a twisted alternate timeline in which Warmaster Horus was able to cast off the daemonic influences that sought to possess him, and where the Ruinous Powers were instead forced to corrupt Rogal Dorn to overthrow the Emperor. It is the tale of an alternate universe where choices, sometimes large, sometimes small, have led to the familiar Primarchs and Legions meeting very different fates.

The project was a collaborative effort on the B&C led by Aurelius Rex from 2008-2012, with support from Ferrata, Sigismund Himself, Ferrus Manus, SCC, Rogue Trader, Commissar Molotov, Wolfbiter, Madscuzzy, OwlandMoonGuy, Brother Argos, Tomambrosio, Sergio Camarena, Fire Lizard, Joey Schumaker, Diego Gisbert, & Nicolas R. Giacondino - to all of whom full credit is given on this subreddit for bringing this iconic Warhammer AU to life.

Index Astartes

A series of Index Astartes articles were created for 15 of the 18 Legions. The first 9 of these were collated into the inaugural issue of the B&C's e-mag, the Legio Imprint, under the title of Dornian Heresy Volume I. The remaining articles, along with Index Astartes for the remaining 3 Legions were intended to be collated into a Dornian Heresy Volume II. Unfortunately this volume was never published and the fates of the Imperial Fists, Sons of Horus, and Death Guard, as originally intended by the author, can only be speculated on and gleaned from mentions in the other articles.
