Brother Alinski Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Can anybody find a description of The crimson lord Argel Tal. I’ve gone through TFH and found bits on Pages 336-337, 357-359 giving a pretty good description of him; red MK IV armour, silver trim, black helm with blue lenses, red iron claws, serrated sun icon round the eye and parchments. But I can’t find much information about his helm, A-D-B referred to the helm as snarling, not just when he was transforming or when he’s on Isstvan. Does he have a custom made helm? Did he have horns like some of the other word bearer leaders? Are there any details I’ve missed?

Kamehameha! Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 http://aarondembskibowden.wordpress.com/20...7/a-few-things/ Thats a link to a blog post of A D-B's. It's got a piece of Shane Cook artwork of Argel Tal in it. It doesn't mention whether or not it's a commissioned piece, or how much input A D-B had in the design, so I can't tell you how true to his original idea it is. Still a great image though!

Aqatone Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 The only known image of him is this I believe. Not really a description but hey. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110321080744/warhammer40k/images/c/c3/Argel_Tal-Lorgar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241192-argel-tal/#findComment-2912719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrion Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Personally, I like to imagine Argel Tal is the Word Bearer on the cover of 'First Heretic'. This might not be the case really, but it works for me... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241192-argel-tal/#findComment-2912729 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don the Oiler Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It's intentional, a reference to the old RG-era miniatures. Practically no space for a barrel, or even a cartridge chamber for that matter, but current-era bolt pistols aren't better in that regard. As for Argel Tal's helmet, i always imagined some sort of teeth or additional grilles on the sides of a normal mkIV version.
