Has anyone made a bolt-on rules set or army lists for 30k?
If not, what changes are necessary?

I guess you can use the Battle Brothers or Havoc Brothers army list for now (you already think about that for sure), or a mix of both army lists.
Since the 30K units are more or less "classic" battle brothers units, there is a lot in common.
Some units are very specific (FW tanks for instance) or have specific equipment (volkite, chainaxes, etc...) but maybe there is an equivalent in another army list.
It would be a great project to create such army list, but it is a lot of work.

the main difficulty is to log particularity from legions and other unit, I think I'll start from the battle brother profile but add some touch of special weapon or rules. I think to begin with the fist Brother and the eyes brothers.
Where Fists brother are into defense and fortifications, eyes brother are more versatiles. Everybody can participate to this discussion and propose rules.
I need help to reference all special unit, i can begin with core units common to all armies but for the special team...

how do you think about that, talking about legions of grimdark.
Taking more or less the battle brother profile (can add bayonnete on standard weapon that give +1 attack)
Different legion different powers:
The first legion is the Dark brotherhood (unit of motorcycles that have striders, special knight unit) don't know yet)
The perfect legion:
rending on all standard weapon (representing the perfection)
Special unit (sonic weapon) Phoenix Bodyguard unit perfcetion with sword
The stell Legion
Siege specialist
+1 when shooting against unit in cover
standard weapon are blast 3.
The thunder legion
all vehicules get striders.
the infantry get fast when charging?
I will devellop more after the idea is to have a simple rule with just a litlle particularity on the battle brother with some iconic unit.

The only problem I see is that the units will be too samey, since they are all space marines (loyalist or traitor alike). Special rules would be very handy in here and maybe army wide rules that give that special flavour. Keep that in mind dimforgeludique |

I like the idea of having different army wide special rules depending on legion. As I understand it the Horus Heresy box can be used to make whichever legions so having a set of options would be nice besides the default two.
