Emperor's Furor Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 In Brotherhood of the Storm we see some marines standing guard at his quarters door, surprisingly they are wearing Mk I thunder armour..now I know it's far fetched but do you think there's something else going on here? I'd really love it if the White Scars still made use of this Mk in a combat capacity, maybe limited to an elite group or something?

Greyall Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 My mind keeps wandering towards Thunder Warriors, but that'd be too far-fetched. Lexicanum says Thunder Armour's leg area isn't powered, all energy going to the chest and arms. So it seems viable, beyond having no life-support systems, so no fighty out of ship or cozy planets. They should at least look great, even if the MkI helms are a bit goofy.

Brother Heinrich Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oh man if they were actually Thunder Warriors that would be awesome, and it would make the Khan total bro status in book.

depthcharge12 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Would make sense if so since Khan is usually hanging out past the Rushi main - err wait wrong universe lol The thunder warriors could get their uses outside of the frontier Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280892-khans-honour-guard/#findComment-3474524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Maybe it's just left over ceremonial armour and the khan was like this is boss! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280892-khans-honour-guard/#findComment-3474529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oh man if they were actually Thunder Warriors that would be awesome, and it would make the Khan total bro status in book. LOL concurred...I love me some Thunder Warriors. They beat even the World Eaters in the crazy contest.

Emperor's Furor Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm going to have some spare mk II crusade armour legs and I'm wondering whether these could be used to convet some thunder warriors, however I'd like it if they could actually be used though so that's why I'm not really considering doing unless something like the unique honour guard I mentioned comes true.

Russ Brother 92 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 wonder if they'll do the Keshig in Thunder Armour as well as Terminator? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280892-khans-honour-guard/#findComment-3475928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 That would be cool, after reading an article on the thunder armour, perhaps it made them stronger than normal power armour users considering it sacrificed potentially powering the legs and head systems to focus on powering the arms which increased the strength of the wearer by a factor of between 3 and 4 times. Maybe strength 5 or 6 standard marines? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280892-khans-honour-guard/#findComment-3476129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The Problem with Mk1 armour is its glorified Carapace armour, I think its highly unlikely they use it for anything but ceremonial purposes, especially as they are depicted using Terminator armour in Scars.That Said Mk1/2 hybrids look pretty sweet, a buddy of mine converted some to be a command squad. I think they represent Artificer armour quite well but pure Mk1 suits are obsolete.

Greyall Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I was about to say they were obsolete in my post up there but then I remembered that, in the grim future, object age comes with relic status and, therefore, increased quality - if maintained. I'm sure that practice took place with MkI armour. It simply wasn't usable in non-breathable environments, but for cerimonial uses and bodyguards it seems apt.
