Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 The I Legion has more European knight influence to it than the Roman Legionnaire touches that you see in the XIII and some others. I'd say feel free to swap around more knightly looking helms and go easy on the feathers - there was still some of that in the HH days, but the 40k Angels are bordering on American Indian costumes. http://i.imgur.com/W2l6uJD.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/wB15qOU.jpg?1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/6/#findComment-3454647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 It makes me want them badly we need another DA heresy full length novel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/6/#findComment-3454656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 The HH novels mention the I Legion Assault troops wearing MK II armor when they discover Caliban and are reunited with the Lion. They are later mentioned as manufacturing power armor to equip the Legion on Caliban itself and sending it out with the newly trained marines as they join the Crusade. I believe that it is MK IV but I don't have the book in front of me. You could use whichever armor you like really ultimately it's up to you and your wallet. I'm going to be using a mix of MK II-V for my DA, especially the MK IV which happens to be my favorite. Some MK III helmets spread around for the knightly grill look, no crests if I can avoid it. I will use a few winged helmets for vets and some type of tabard instead of robes.

Ordo Machinum Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Okay beaker helms with red stripe as sargents less mkiv and more if mkii & iii for troops. Stay away from black greens, I'd go straight black. More despoiler troop choices ie. chainswords and bolt pistols and keep the force fast orientated jetbikes outriders and flyers beaker helms: enough in my bitz box to spread around - check mk ii & iii: working on these (I'll save my bunch of mk iv helms for mixed armours) - check black sounds great too (although there was some bit in one of the novels about the DA symbol being on a green pauldron - ah, best to save that for after the heresy and the battle of Caliban!) The I Legion has more European knight influence to it than the Roman Legionnaire touches that you see in the XIII and some others. I'd say feel free to swap around more knightly looking helms and go easy on the feathers - there was still some of that in the HH days, but the 40k Angels are bordering on American Indian costumes. Ok, so maybe some Templar bitz thrown in with the FW armours, i.e. helms, tabards, etc.. I agree about the feathers (which is too bad because I have a bunch of the Dark Vengeance terminators which I got for the studded armour - some definite conversions will be in order) The HH novels mention the I Legion Assault troops wearing MK II armor when they discover Caliban and are reunited with the Lion. They are later mentioned as manufacturing power armor to equip the Legion on Caliban itself and sending it out with the newly trained marines as they join the Crusade.

I will use a few winged helmets for vets and some type of tabard instead of robes. Ah, I forgot about that part of the novel. I'll dig out my copy, thanks! I like the winged helms and tabards seem to fit better somehow. Mk iv helms I actually have a bunch (from Templar sprues, I think). My wallet and I have been having some serious stare downs lately while I've been making my bitz list. Please keep the suggestions coming! Thanks!

Ordo Machinum Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I was thinking European knights like paladins or roman hoplites? You mean like front to back crests on vet helms, rather than side-to-side? Or some Brettonian stylized heraldry on the small crested shields worn on some armours? me personally, If i played the 1st, I would go all out on the monastic knight thing. I love it! Full robes? Hmm, it saves on hiding FW armour - it would be cheaper . Maybe for vet tactical squads and not regular troops? Tech Covenants & Apothecarion Detachments for sure. Howabout for Recon? They're supposed to be in lighter (non-power?) armour anyway...

Gonna have to disagree with you on that, Mikhail. The new Robocop looks as shiny and sanitized as the new edition of 40k - the grimdark is gone. Alex Murphy is no longer gunned down in brutal fashion by a gang of criminals, but the victim of a car bomb. OCP no longer decides: "I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis? Now lose the arm!" And to top it all off, he looks like someone doing a cosplay of Batman.
