Coryphaus 101 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Is it possible this could be the Fists that were sent to check on things on Istvaan at the end of the Flight of the E I didn't even think of that. That's very possible. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/2/#findComment-2942965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Did some photoshopping: http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t136/sponsra/BL_chistmas_calendar-1.png I hereby dub thee the greatest person on Earth. You may rise. Im going to take a shot in the dark and guess that they're inserting a new battle to fill the space between the Siege and Istvaan. And I agree with the idea that it's Graham's IF vs. EC.

Watch-commander Albus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 My guess it is going to be a book about the battle in the Phall system: the part of the Imperial Fists legion that was sent to Isstvan after the recovery of the Eisenstein, but got stuck at the Phall system by warp storms. The Iron Warriors legion was sent there by Horus to intercept the Imperial Fists.

sponsra Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Checked the css to see if maybe the full picture actually was published behind the black tiles, or if the unrevealed pieces of the pic could be retrieved somehow, but the pic is cut up and the missing pieces are not published. It was a longshot and it would have been to easy (and it would have been cheating :blink:)...

Elric the Silvercoat Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The new picture seems to have a symbol or icon on it that looks like the bottom half of a bird sitting on a branch or maybe a scaled or feathered fist holding a flower.

Zynk Kaladin Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Wow, that ship battle looks pretty sweet. Can't wait for more of it to be revealed. Is it just me, or does the ship's armor look really thin and made of... concrete? It might just be a lack of perspective from an incomplete picture.

Commander Proteus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I was going to point out that we have fleet action going on in the background, and this is one of the first covers with fleet details. Could we possibly be up to the siege of Terra? I don't know much about this Phall system action, but with the release of Age of Darkness, I'm wondering if we are coming, at last, to the end of the heresy. -Proteus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/2/#findComment-2945128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennisBall Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Two headed eagle, sword in one hand, orb in the other. I'm seeing connections Found this interesting: orb, emblem of royal power, usually made of precious metal and jewels and consisting of a sphere surmounted by a cross. The ball as a symbol of the cosmos, or of the universe as a harmonious whole, is derived from the ancient Romans, who associated it with Jupiter and, hence, with the emperor as his earthly representative. Christians adapted the symbol by setting a cross above the ball to signify the world dominated by Christianity. Rulers were often depicted with the orb, but the first to hold it in hand at his coronation was the Holy Roman emperor Henry II in 1014; thereafter the “imperial apple” became an important emblem of the royal power invested in the monarch. quoted from here: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/431082/orb I didn't realise the orb went back to the ancients. It's also a nice coincidence what with the relationship with Mars and the resurrection orbs of the Necrons.

TennisBall Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I don't know if Iron Warriors would have pretty little lines all over their armour. Why wouldn't they? The Iron Hands probably wouldn't bother with such things but I don't see why the Iron Warriors wouldn't decorate their armour.
