Ekim_Trub Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I always thought Sigismund wore black and white armour- not a tabard?? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287035-sigismund-is-that-you/#findComment-3598279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgottenAngel Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Must.....resist....urge....to....make Imperial Fist contingent.....failing.....miserably! I always thought Sigismund wore black and white armour- not a tabard?? He painted it black after he was made into the Emperor's Champion. He did however wear his personal heraldry prior to this. He is described in several short stories as wearing golden armor with a tabard/cape with his heraldry.

Conn Eremon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I always thought Sigismund wore black and white armour- not a tabard?? Prior to being the Emperor's Champion and founding his own Chapter, he was an Imperial Fist. He is described by Black Library exactly as you see above, but also with one pauldron in gold with the Legion symbol and the other pauldron in white, trimmed in black, with the heraldic cross.

Marshal Rohr Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I doubt the Imperial Fist models will get any attention until after the book is released in March, and even longer then because he'll be a character. We just now got Khârn and Typhon and they've been out in the rules for months.

Wade Garrett Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I never really pictured Siggy as being one to insist fake leaves be sculpted onto his helm. That seems more like a Maccrage or Ultramarine thing than something a Fist would want. Also, I always pictured him in Mark III armor, but that's a personal taste issue.

TheForgottenAngel Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well his has a mix of armor actually. One of his shoulder pads is MkIII, I would reason to believe he has some form of MIV due to his martial prowess and MKIII being more cumbersome than most other armors.

Wade Garrett Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If by cumbersome, you mean "The one with the heaviest frontal armor, perfect for boarding operations, shield walls, counterassaulting a breach during a siege, and all the other operations you'd pick the best hand to hand fighter in the VII for" then I agree. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287035-sigismund-is-that-you/#findComment-3599073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems more like a Maccrage or Ultramarine thing than something a Fist would want. Well, both official Emperor's Champion models had the laurels. Pedro Kantor has them as well. But then in the picture above he is not yet the Emperor's Champion. Of course, in the original fluff, a normal Battlebrother was named the Emperor's Champion and then given the ornate armour, where in the HH fluff he already has the fancy armour and then just has to paint it black.

marshal seanisi Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 In Mechanicum he is referred to as already wearing Black and White Heraldry. It was mentioned at the Horus Heresy Weekender that he is accompanied by a squad of "Sword Knights" This may represent one of those or it could just be Sigismund in his Imperial Fist colors. I love it either way!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287035-sigismund-is-that-you/#findComment-3599101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Heraldry isn't the same as armor colors. Otherwise the Lamenters armor would be entirely black and white checker patterns. Personally, I think it looks exactly like how all the Imperial Fists 1st Co should look. Dorn reprinted his armor black after the Emperor was put on the throne, so if the IF 1st company had white insets with a black cross on their pauldrons before the heresy, then repainted their armor with the Primarch, it suddenly makes perfect sense why the BT color scheme is the way it is.

Kol Saresk Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Because it was his heraldry. If you call someone in a Legion full of yellow-armored Marines "the Yellow Knight" the title doesn't stand out much. But when you take their black heraldry, which is in and of itself a symbol of an old knighthood, you get The Black Knight of the Yellow Imperial Fists, even though there is really little black. At least, that's my thinking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287035-sigismund-is-that-you/#findComment-3599174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
