Brother dean Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I've long had a spare Brother Bethor. After doing the Deathwing banner a couple years ago I have been thinking about doing one of the Sacred Standards. Among the questions I have are: Which banner? Think the special rules will come back with a new dex? If they do should I paint the most beneficial or the coolest looking. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9542.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/AoVtermies.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253967-brothers-i-have-a-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 i'd go for the easiest! -_- *looks again at the banners* ermm... There is no easy one! :) Go with the one you think is cooler looking. Rule of cool trumps tabletop rules everytime in my book! Besides you don't know what the rules are going to be and try to deduce them from the previous edition is a big risk. They might (and probably will) be completely diffrent. So yeah, rule of cool all the way!

Candleshoes Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 My vote is on the Sacred Standard of Fortitude. More than ever now, the Dark Angels need the strength to endure what is to come.

Uhr Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 My vote goes for The Standard of Devastation; somehow it is the most unique from Sacred Standards (two other looks more like Chapter Banner)... Which reminds me; why don't You honour Brother Bethor to carry the Chapter Standard?

Brother dean Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I wondered if anyone would pick the Chapter banner... After doing the DW banner, I have faith to do any of them... Coolest is relative and I know that as long as I have one painted it can count as any of them.... I'm just leaning towards a CC buff (Retribution) or a "Charge reaction" (Devistation) buff. better pict http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Deathwing/decius105.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253967-brothers-i-have-a-problem/#findComment-3082327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Nemiel Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Oh yeah i REALLY want Brother Bethor and his awesome banners back for the new dex... Simple Solution Dean: Buy 3x Bethor and paint all 3 Banners ;) ...taking your DW Banner as reference im sure you`d prevail!

Simple Solution Dean: Buy 3x Bethor and paint all 3 Banners ;) ...taking your DW Banner as reference im sure you`d prevail! YEP! that'll be my solution, but then retirement affords me that! for real though I honestly think with GW's new standard (pardon the pun) of having sculpted banners, I think we could possibly see all the cannon banners.......now, who wants to take point on a tutorial for magnestizing banner poles. ;) on the subject though, rule of cool should always win out. those competitive players only really enjoy themselves when they win!

Nessisbest Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Personally, I'd go for the one that catches my eye the most. The one that people would say, "Oh, that looks pretty cool! How'd you do that?"

Brother-Chaplain Nemiel Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 To be honest i like those sculpetd banners, since freehanding is my absolute nightmare!... Only one i got so far is with Azzie...i may even think of buying another Eze, for crispier model+banner...but havent tried Failcast personally, to be honest even FWs quality is just bearable...

The Shadow Guard Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would go for the standard of retribution.. the imagery of the Angel of Death strking down chaos is powerful and retribution is what the unforgiven mete out to those who have swayed from the emperor's light!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Does no one print them out anymore? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253967-brothers-i-have-a-problem/#findComment-3082733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 The plastic banner solved all my trepidations... I didnt want to make a paper or even lead foil banner. Sculpted banners are alright but I imagine if we get one it'll be the Chapter banner. Edit: the imagery of the Angel of Death strking down chaos is powerful and retribution is what the unforgiven mete out And that is a logical argument there SG...
