God Of War Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Does anybody know the composition of Alaric's original squad? I need each Knight they mentioned and his equipment. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224963-alarics-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeddon Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 IIRC there is 1 incinerator and 1 psycannon, there's also one hammer. not really sure other than that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224963-alarics-squad/#findComment-2691405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Reaper Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Tancred wields the hammer if I can recall correctly. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224963-alarics-squad/#findComment-2691660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Exorcist Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Tancred wields the hammer if I can recall correctly. Actually, it is Dvorn, Tancred lead the terminator squad. Other members were Haulvarn (sp?) and lykkos, the psycannoneer.

Cpt_Reaper Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's right. Alaric stated that Dvorn's use of a hammer was uncommon but suited the warrior well. Tancred weielded the lightning sword for a short time I think. Now to supress the urge to read the series again ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224963-alarics-squad/#findComment-2691678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avarris Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think the above posters are right, I have to admit with the release of the codex coming up I'm very tempted to read the series again but will have to order the omnibus as I've managed to loose the first book in the series, also very tempted to make Justicar Alaric and his squad now as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224963-alarics-squad/#findComment-2691717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothalor Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Flipping through the first book, Alaric's squad members include Dvorn, Haulvarn, Lykkos, Vien and Clostus. Dvorn wields a Nemesis Daemon Hammer, Lykkos is the Psycannon gunner. I believe Haulvarn is described wielding a sword at some point while Alaric wields a halberd. I also found one throwaway line that states Clostus used a halberd. Edit: Actually, in chapter 3 of Hammer of Daemons Haulvarn is is repeatedly described with a halberd.

Sothalor Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for all the replies.While we are on the subject, does anybody know:1.Tancred's squad's composition 2.Alaric's commanding officer(Not the inquisitor) 3.Any other squads mentioned 4.The mentioned justicars' heraldry 1. I don't believe any of Tancred's squad are fleshed out as characters. In chapter 16 we are given their names and armament. Krae is dead and was buried on Titan with his halberd. Tancred himself wields a sword, while Locath and Golven have halberds. Karlin has the "heavy incinerator." The book specifically mentions the squad prefers fighting in close combat. 2. The closest I would venture is the Grand Master he reports to in the opening act, Tencendur. Chapter 3 describes him wearing "customized Terminator armor" without any specific details. 3. The other squads are led by Justicars Genhain and Santoro, both of whom lead power armored squads. Santoro has an incinerator-bearing marine in his squad, Mykros, while Genhain has two psycannon marines in his. Santoro has a mace. I'm not sure what Genhain has, but he's characterized by an uncanny bond with his storm bolter. 4. Tancred's heraldry is described in chapter 4: "The shield-shaped plaque of the Insignium Valoris mounted on one shoulder bore Tancred's personal heraldry - one half was glossy black representing space and the other was red with a field of white starbursts. One star for each boarding action." Santoro's heraldry is described in chapter 6: "Santoro's heraldry consisted of a single white starburst on a black field" I can't find where Genhain's heraldry is described, if it is at all.
