Artemid Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Eh, everyone had jetbikes back in the days, pretty much. I'm pretty sure it was the second of the Horus trilogy books that had an Emperor's Child mount up on a jetbike for recon? They really did used to be pretty common. Sammael just has (to everyone's knowledge) the last one, 10,000 years later. Besides, if anyone else can have jetbikes, I'm pretty sure it's Khan.

Pyro X Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 guess I should have known better to read the fluff that said Sammael had that last working jetbike though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 And it doesn't go as far to specifically say he has the last one ever. Simply the "last known" saying even "Perhaps the Masters of the 2nd Companies of the other Unforgiven Chapters hold such wonders..." Aaaaand, I also noted a typo, my copy actually has "Forgiven" in that line rather than "Unforgiven", lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 guess I should have known better to read the fluff that said Sammael had that last working jetbike though Why? And how does this pic invalidate that? This is the Primarch Khan, which means they had these 10k years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro X Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I thought only the 1st foundings had Primarchs. white scars is a 2nd founding from the boys in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 In First Heretic, a lowly squad leader rides a jetbike. Jetbikes in M30 are like mopeds in continental Europe; everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I thought only the 1st foundings had Primarchs. white scars is a 2nd founding from the boys in blue. No sir. Absolutely not. They were the 5th Legion created, and their Primarch was Jaghatai Khan. The White Scars helped attack traitors at a key space port during the battle of Terra.

Bryan Blaire Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, I was going to ask for clarification on which Khan was actually depicted, because we've had 10k years of them. Is it Jaghatai (the Primarch) or a more recent one, like Kyublai, Jubal or Kor'sarro Khan? I assume from above statements though that this is Jaghatai, which means as a Primarch he totally could have a jetbike, no harm no foul to Sammael. Plus just "Khan!" makes for an awesome Shatner-esque moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This is a HH book so I bet this is the Primarch. Of the White Scars. The V Legion. And he's riding a cool piece of machinery but nowhere near as rare as it came to be 10k years later... The problem with this pic is not the jet bike (which is perfectly plausible for the Khan to have) but perspective... There is something strange in it's sense of depth... unless it's time for me to visit the eye doctor! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgefather Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wouldn't surprise me if we see models coming out for the Jetbikes with the upcoming Horus Heresy books from Forge world. *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehoel Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 A further indicator of this being 10k years ago is the other two jetbikes that are flanking the "Khan" with the sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I still can't get over the 30k tactic of CHAAAARRRGE!!!!!!!!!!. A large group of greenskin infantry in the open, tightly packed without cover really calls for a bombardment of some kind, esp when the goodies have a mobility advantage and air/space Supremacy :lol: Cool pic though, and I hope my copy of the book gets here in a timely fashion :blink: stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I still can't get over the 30k tactic of CHAAAARRRGE!!!!!!!!!!. Worked for the bayonet charge, in the past. Arguably still does. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry, I saw this art pop up in the Horus Heresy subforum (it's going to, obviously, be adorning a White Scars work) and thought more people were magically aware of the fact that it's a 30k work :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
