Bryan Blaire Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 At first glance, I was thinking the interior of a Word Bearer ship that's been blown open during the invasion of the Ultramar sector.

No Foes Remain Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Judging by the armour marks that are visible (back pack in the 1st one looks like Mk2 or 3) I think its a HH era image, but we will know more in a few days. /Ventris.

A D-B Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Very cool. Is it the cover of A D-B's next book? Nope. Mine's still being done.

TennisBall Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Well dec 1 looks like a UM shoulder. The symbol is upside down if it is. It looks to be a marine carrying something like a boarding shield. The defending marines are red? and don't appear to have any chaos icons on the inside of their ship. What legions had ships with yellow on them?

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It Iron Warriors vs Imperial Fist from my guest. Door No2 - Notice the yellow & black strip, don't know any other legion that made great use out of these :rolleyes: Red would be the glow from the light inside the ship, if you look that the other door that are open all the hall way is in a red way, which to me is the glow from a light being on. http://www.blacklibrary.com/images/BL/2011...ar/bwoops/2.jpg Door No1 - Yellow Power Armour, he carry a shield bit like the Forge World Bording Marine. Door 16 should hopeful be a bit clear http://www.blacklibrary.com/images/BL/2011...ar/bwoops/1.jpg Graham McNeill did say in a recent BL interview that there would be a Heresy novel base around the Iron Warriors & Emperor Children?

Rafen_2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It Iron Warriors vs Imperial Fist from my guest. I agree with this. You can see the striped lines on the armor and the pic that everyone thinks is an Ultramarine the pad is clearly yellow with black trim so I find it very hard to be an Ultramarine.

Grandmaster Anaziel Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm hoping beyond hope that either one or both of the Legions in this cover are remnants of one of the missing Legions... I know it's not likely, I just think it would be awesome! I'm hoping this because the color schemes of the Marines doesn't make sense to my eyes. The red ones could certainly be Blood Angels or Thousand Sons though. I'm more interested in the metallic, yellow-orange guy with a storm shield. Perhaps he's an Iron Warrior? But, I've never seen them have so much color on their armor. He has a LOT of the yellow-orange... As another observation that something seems strange, Look at panels 10 & 11, they both have stylized stars that I have never seen before on any Space Marine or Imperial Army flag or anywhere in 40k for that matter. I think(hoping ^^) that it might be a Legion symbol. Maybe one that was lost to the Ages... And as a final note, the Black Library says to come back on the 25th for a Christmas surprise. The 25th panel will finally reveal the final part of the yellow-orange storm shield guy. If he's just an Iron Warrior or Imperial Fist, why would it be a surprise? ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/#findComment-2942352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coryphaus 101 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I doubt the missing legions will be featured, even on the cover. The 'yellow-orange' colour you described is probably the red lighting reflecting off yellow imperial fist armour. The red guys are probably just iron warriors with the red lighting (you may noticed the bolter is red too, and not just the casing the whole thing). The surprise on the 25th is all panels are gone and we might even get a title or blurb. Although you're right, if missing legionnaires were featured it would be AWESOME!

TennisBall Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It Iron Warriors vs Imperial Fist from my guest. Door No2 - Notice the yellow & black strip, I saw that but didn't consider it. Now that you mention it the bolter in panel 6 also has stripes on it. I guess the curve we can see on panel 1 is the round border of the Fist insignia. So are there any famous space battles these two legions fought each other in?

But, I've never seen them have so much color on their armor. He has a LOT of the yellow-orange... The guy with the Storm Shield look like the Imperial Fist to me, as said/shown in my post you can see the yellow power armour. While the guy in the Red, it the light from the ship hitting of his armour, also shown you can see the yellow & black strip on his arm armour, as said how many Legion made use of this? Also there yellow ships (front part of them) in the background as well :lol: I guess the curve we can see on panel 1 is the round border of the Fist insignia. Byt the way it look, seem to be a circle bolted onto the shoulder pad. If anyone seen the Space Marine Captain set (model) you'll get a shoulder pad with a disk/circle. I though it would be this, with the Imperial Fist icon on it? Again just a guess.

Son of Rawl Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 What battles were the Fists involved in during the Heresy? Only conflicts I remember are the Seige, Tallarn, and Mars.

Greyall Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The boarded Marines (I thought they'd be Blood Angels, what with the red and the exquisite decoration on the armour, but the red comes from the ship's [emergency] internal light, and the stripes do make them look more like Iron Warriors) are getting slaughtered. Look at all the blood particles. The rightmost one, in particular, seems to have felt the invigorating touch of a power weapon. That shield...man, it looks like he ripped the plating off a Land Raider.
