G3rman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Looks like a classic IF vs. IW match up, what a twist to see the two siege legions fighting at each other's throats in space.

Son of Rawl Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 It would be cool if it was, but it doesn't really expalin why the Fists are boarding their own flag ship though. Wonder if Perturabo will make an apperance, Dorn didn't really leave Terra at al during the Heresy so we can count him out, hoping also we see hints and nods to the Crimson that will as we have seen Sigismund and his personal icon already.

TennisBall Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 There are three boxes left. 23 will just fill in the details of the boarding party. 24 either more filler or some interesting part of the space battle. 25 is going to reveal the identity of the boarding party commander and may also show what is shooting at the Imperial Fist ship in 20.

Lachdannan Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Either or, I await with bated breath. This is one of the few artworks, I'd want a print of. Not because the others aren't good, but his one is filled with Fisty action!

Son of Rawl Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 IT could just be a generic Iron Warrior ship, we won't know until the book finally comes out. There must be some significance to have the one Fist being covered up by 25. Could it be Sigismund or another well known son of Dorn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/5/#findComment-2949995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I highly doubt it would be Sigismund as he wore black armour with his Templar iconography - could be another leading Imperial Fist though, possibly another Captain?

Castiel Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wouldn't Sigismund be wielding a sword though, not a power fist? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/5/#findComment-2950139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Sigismund wore black armour at the Siege and he wielded a sword. Though he wasn't in the Phall system when the rest of the Fist fleet was stranded. He was on Terra with Dorn and the rest of the veteran companies.

karden00 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Any reason it couldnt be Dorn himself? It is pure conjecture at this point where and when this battle is taking place. Also, maybe this fluff has been retconned, but arent those ships in the background anachronous? Battlefleet Gothic fluff, IIRC, talked about how all the Chaos ships in 40k are actually the older Imperial ships, and the 'modern' Imperial designs only came about quite after the Heresy. Therefore, shouldnt the ships in the background of this pic look like the older Chaos ships as represented in BFG? I know GW likes to ignore BFG (unfortunately), and an artistic oversight that is inconsistent with fluff is surely the prime suspect, but I bring it up to ask if anyone knows about the aforementioned fluff being retconned. Nit picking. Its early. Courage and Honour.

Dorn was really busy with the Veteran Imperial Fist companies with the Defence of Terra, while a few led by Sigismund where that Mars to secure area there & another lot of Imperial Fist went to Isstvan where the Phall System happen against the Iron Warriors.

MadDoc Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I have to say that I doubt its Dorn (and would be very disappointed if it was meant to be), the armour is nowhere near ornate enough and it looks to be the wrong colour, actual yellow instead of brass/gold. The Primarchs anthology artwork shows that Dorn is still being depicted along the lines of John Blanche's sketch (featured in HH:CV) and all of the descriptions of his armour so far depict it as burnished brass/gold (putting me in mind of the armour the Custodes are depicted wearing).
