Xenith Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi all, I'm thinking of adding a(nother) small squad of allies to my Blood Angels, and decided upon the Patriarchs of Ulixis, but if I do them, I want to portray them true to fluff, and pant-wettingly afraid of the Blood Angels. I was wondering if anyone could suggest the most scared or disgusted looking space marine head in the Citadel range for the PoU captain? Possible candidates are the bare head here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warhammer-40K-X2-New-Dark-Angels-Deathwing-Knight-Master-Sergeant-Heads-/111224926833?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item19e585b271 Any thoughts?

teblin Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Space Marines can't do scared, so I imagine there aren't any sculpts for that kind of face. Disgusted or irritated however, I think so. The new Sternguard kit has some pretty disgruntled-looking heads: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40K-Space-Marines-Sternguard-Veteran-Squad-Heads-/360800120003 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283944-patriarchs-of-ulixis/#findComment-3533849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 It's a little snippet of fluff from the 3rd ed codex: "Say what you like, I will not fight alongside these madmen. The past proves nothing, except that the Blood Angels are cursed and but a single step from damnation." - Yuron, Captain, Patriarchs of Ulixis Chapter Seems like the Patriarchs fought alongside the BA at some time, and didn't like what they saw...

Brother Tyler Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 You've inferred fear of the Blood Angels. Any number of other responses could be inferred, including lack of respect, distaste, distrust, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283944-patriarchs-of-ulixis/#findComment-3536904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well, it's not actually fear, as Space Marines do not let it drive them, but presumably to elicit such a comment, the Captain would have been horrified of the BA savagery, much like the guardsman that watches the BA assault marines take apart the cultists.

Memento Of Prospero Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 That statement comes from disrespect, contempt and disgust. Space marines are not horrified of other legion's attrocities.
