clever handle Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So, power armor with capes, should the cape drape over the powerpack or should the powerpack sit on top? I always felt the cape should ride over the powerpack but GW certainly seems to think otherwise. Thoughts (&/or pics) from the community?

Peredyne Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Capes over the backpack would block the vents, that's why they wear them under the backpacks. Anvil Industries (http://anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home) has a Regal Cloak kit that was designed especially for power armored models with said backpacks.

Ironwulf Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I agree that the cape over the backpack would block vents, but I think from an aesthetic point, it would look like the character is hunchbacked.

Sarnie89 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I can see your reasoning, but it would block the vents. Like the DA minis, they have the backpacks over the cloak...I presume only because it makes modelling sense. If your going to model them why not put them over the pack and model the vents so they stick out.

clever handle Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 i play chaos, our vents do stick out! cloaks under backpacks means the cloaks are an integral part of the power armor which must be donned prior to installing the powerplant..... that seems silly to me...

Lorenzen Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Because 9ft tall supermen who can spit acid & punch a hole in your face are at all realistic.. Under the backpack just looks better, screw logic this isnt the hobby for logic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268109-power-armor-capes/#findComment-3266532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
