Coryphaus 101 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That is an awesome cover. I love the ships in mid battle and... Wait, is that the Phalanx? I don't think leading the charge would be Sigismund (for one BL tend steer away from showing iconic characters except on a few occasions or with Primarchs, and two, I'm pretty sure Sigismund used a sword. Pretty sure this is the 3rd time of posting, but no its not the Phalanx because Dorn took it to Terra with him :) Damn! That would've been awesome. Wait. How do you know this isn't before/after that? Didn't the whole of the Fists go to Terra with Dorn? And he left Terra to go to Istvaan, so it could be the Phalanx. Maybe. Hopefully.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I think the Phalanx is that big ship which is joint attacking with a smaller ship. Just my theory :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/7/#findComment-2952608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Flight of the Eisenstein Dorn sends Sigismund to Istvaan, then took the Phalanx to Terra with Garro and co. Sigismunds fleet got held up by warp storms and ended up in the Phall system, where they set up a base and were going to head to Istvaan from there, but then the Iron Warriors attacked. Lots of ships gots blown up on both sides, then Sigismunds fleet got a call from Terra ordering them to return to the Sol system and link with Dorn. Not sure what happens then, i think the Fists just stayed at Terra to reinforce it, but sometime after Sigismund and another captain land on Mars in the events of Mechanicus. It would be awesome to see the Phalanx in action though :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/7/#findComment-2952642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANCIENT FALOR Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 In the novel Mechanicum. It states sigmund was on terra with dorn. He was involved in attempting to retake mars from the dark mechanicum. As the loyalist forces there were losing.

Zincite Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Very, very nice. Lovin' the unified Mk 2/3 Helms. Shame it'll be cut up and we'll only see a fraction of it on the cover of the book, if the Primarches book was anything to go by.

Son of Rawl Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 In the novel Mechanicum. It states sigmund was on terra with dorn. He was involved in attempting to retake mars from the dark mechanicum. As the loyalist forces there were losing. He was recalled to Terra after being sent to Istvaan to investigate what had happened according to the new fluff on the heresy, even then we do not know the timeline that well, especailly since Outcast Dead was released as that has screwed up the sequence of events for me lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243341-on-the-first-day-of-christmas/page/7/#findComment-2952879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sponsra Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yeah I did it, it´s not the right fonts or anything, just added the box and title acordingly with how the other covers look. Gives a picture of how the final product might look. I think it will be a great cover. i love how that Imperial Fist in the middle are looking up, towards his next target... Makes a good focal point for the image...

Drac0 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't think that's the phalanx, for one simple reason, the IF are boarding the ship. why on earth would they board their own ship when so far fluff tells us they have never lost control of it? Still, I'm eager to get my hands on that novel, finally something about the fists from start to end.
