The Normish Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Well, I don't think that you should use Alpharius's bones. It somehow doesn't seem right, with all the Alpha Legion guys going around claiming to be the Primarch. Who knows, he could still be out there. It sort of goes against the fluff, whereas using all the other relics does not, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob16151 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Didn't Mortarion have a giant freaking manreaper as well. Which I don't believe he's still wielding. And Perturabo had Forgebreaker. Which actually, is probably, in the EOT with him, so never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiros14 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Corax- you could make his winged flight pack as described in ravens flight that sounds like a job for the new blood angels guard pack, or even Astropath the Grim's pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest33 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Mangus: Eye of the Magi (either a staff or a gem) Perty: Seige Command Helm (perhaps a modified helm?) Alphaus doesnt really work either... Perhaps a book of tactical documents? Or a decoder book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mechanicum Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Angron: Reason were using Brazentooth and not Gorefather is that its one of five relics that have been found, plus its randomly been mentioned that Gorefather is also used in conjuction with the daemonic runesword. Magnus: I'm thinking of using his gun as Daemon Prince Magnus is not shown using it. Or his Scarab tabard that changed when he became a Daemon Prince. Mortarion: He still uses his giant Manreaper. Alpharius: But also according to fluff, he was killed by Guilliman so going with the we dont know if he still lives or not that seems to work. Also trying to stay away from more book objectives as we have two were modeling. But holy crap alot of feedback which is very helpful by the way everybody.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Alpharius: But also according to fluff, he was killed by Guilliman so going with the we dont know if he still lives or not that seems to work. Actually, that information is in question. The Inquisitor who provided 80% of the information in the Alphas' IA article was later accused of being an Alpha Legion agent, excommunicated, and disappeared, which casts aspersions on the veracity of the entire article! Besides, having learned what we have of how the Alphas operate in Legion, we cannot possibly know if -- assuming the Battle of Eskadron took place and if it occurred how presented -- that was actually Alpharius that Guilliman fought. It could have been him, or Omegon, or Sheed Ranko (who had the height to stand in for them); we don't know. Personally, I don't think the Alphas would leave any relics of their Primarchs behind for people to find. They rely so much on obfuscating the truth and promulgating the fact that they're all one person that it would be detrimental to their operations and reputation to admit and leave proof behind of Alpharius' death. However, as you say, you still need some sort of "relic" for them. Consider how Hurt Bronzi and Peto Soneka got dragged into the Alpha Legion's network in Legion: they found a corpse that was hydra-marked and had several organs replaced with machinery. Do that. Make your Alpha Legion marker be a dead Guardsman; I'd suggest a Catachan because they have more exposed flesh to paint a hydra tattoo on (hope you've got a steady hand).

Dark Mechanicum Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 hmmm, that would probably be cooler than more bones so i'll take that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deciple of Lorgar Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm pretty sure Lorgar took "the Book of Lorgar" with him to Sicarus, where he currently resides. Not sure what other relic Lorgar would of left behind. Maybe the first Accursed Crozius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mechanicum Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 There were several copies of the Book of Lorgar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmperorsPeace Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 A fitting object for Alpharius would be, perhaps, just a simple pre-Heresy Alpha Legion shoulderpad because Alpharius likes to fit in :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Bloodwolf Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Here are my ideas, some I made up and are not cannon items Night Haunter- The blade of the assassin who killed him Lion El'Jonson- Pelt of the Calibanite Lion Fulgrim- The wing from his shoulder guard, the head of Ferrus Manus Perturabo- The skull of his adopted father on Olympia Khan- The head of a slain enemy maybe. Russ- His drinking horn Dorn- Of course his hand, peice of amber from his tomb Sanguinius- A feather from his wing Ferrus Manus- I think its already been mentioned but his anvil Angron- Vial of his blood Guilliman- Laurel gifted from the Emperor Mortarion- rebreather Magnus- His staff, scrying orb Horus- Luna Wolves banner Lorgar- peice of tattooed skin, 1st dark crozius Vulkan- smithing hammer, weapon he forged in contest with the Emperor Corax- Skull of a weregild Alpharius- 2 shoulder guards 1 of Alpharius and 1 of Omegons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Mechanicum Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 The reason why they are items that are very different is because they are things that have either dissappered, are very well known, not very well known, and our interesting to model. For the Lion i'll think for an interesting one to look at. For the Night Haunter, the blade was returned to the temple when the ship returned to imperial space.
