Brother Predacon Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I believe that I read somewhere that its only because the studio painters didn't want the studio army to be fully red termies. Back in 2nd edition I think... I agree, its a very impressive color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 O i was hoping it was something cool like a constant reminder to the black rage than can consume any marine. Never Mind it is Super Cool :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 We've fielded this question before on these boards. I still can't find the reference for it, but I do remember reading a bit of fluff in the mid 90's that stated the black power fists were in honor of the 1st Company Brothers that fell taking a space hulk. It might be in the 2nd edition Space Hulk rule book or some such, a s reference to the 1st edition Space Hulk campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 1st edition BA powerfists were white with blue stripes IIRC. But really, the reason they're black is simply to provide a point of contrast on the paintjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodunius Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 1st edition BA powerfists were white with blue stripes IIRC. But really, the reason they're black is simply to provide a point of contrast on the paintjob. No the power fists were yellow with black stripes, the heavy weapons and chainfists had blue & white checkerboard patterns however. The cover of Space Hulk 2nd edition had just plain yellow power fists, I seem to recall the rulebook had yellow with black stripes as well as just plain black but don't recall there being any fluff for it. Addendum: back in 2e it was every terminators left gauntlet, whether it was a fist, claw, storm shield or power sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
