Excessus Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So, is this going to be like finding waldo? Do 40k children play "find Alpharius" or something? :D That is a lot of Alpha Legionnaires! Some (but not many) Mk II armours can be seen there, and command bling seems to be a thing... A bigger picture...

awfulawful Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm a bit surprised that the one guy there has that tattoo on his face. I can only imagine the collective sigh from the rest of the legion when they saw it and realized that they would then all have to get the same tattoo. On a more serious note, is this Weekender event thing when we may expect to see Extinction released?

Hyaenidae Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So, is this going to be like finding waldo? Do 40k children play "find Alpharius" or something?

m_r_parker Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Booked my ticket back on Friday. I went last year and the event was truly amazing. Similar size crowd (~350), but it never really felt crowded as there was always a large portion in the main auditorium for the various seminars. Plenty of time to get things done of the periphary (i.e. chat to the designers, book signings, see some of the WIP stuff, gaming, etc), plus they had an incredible amout of stock availble over the weekend. This will be the one event that I go to this year, given the shambloic farce that Games Day turned in to, and I heartedly encourage everyone to grab a ticket where possible.

The answer, of course, is the guy on the left. "Clever boy!" Soothes the ever-warm voice of maternal love, the tiny wilt of the branded hydra mark brushing across the toddler's shaven head as a congratulatory pat is given, a mirrored image in the form of a tattoo atop the boy's crown of skull. For 'everyone and their mother', it is said...

Kol Saresk Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Huh. All three guys have tattoos. And I see at least two of them are different. Cool beans. Maybe we'll see something outside of the "Everyone is Alpharius" schpiel.

SteelPaladin Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I like how in this picture the Alphas are transitioning from the Alpha and Omega symbol to the Hydra. Like Chris Wraight said in Scars: "As ever with the XX legion, nothing had been entirely settled. Everything was still in flux."

Maybe we'll see something outside of the "Everyone is Alpharius" schpiel. I do not doubt for a second the intention behind that detail as well as the picture overall; not a few days ago someone said the department really wanted to bring "back" AL as a legion first and foremost in people's minds, so in my mind most of the AL, at least outside the two/three/kajillion flagships are brawn over brains grunts same as any over Astartes, with a bit of legion pass-as-a-unit spice thrown in for a unique flavour. Hopefully they play it "right", personally I'd love for the legion overall to be as close to "Spartans in power armour" as the Iron Hands are, since I'm not too keen on having an army full of spies as I am off having guys that fight with their head(s) first and heart/technical shennanigans second. Some Iron Hands composure mixed with a bit of Angron/Night Lord cynicism and I'm a happy man.

Excessus Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 The Alpha Legion were never an army full of spies, that's just a common misconception. Leave that part to the professional squads, leave that to Omegon's boys! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287613-the-horus-heresy-weekender/#findComment-3611169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrender_Monkey Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm curious as to why they are hosting the event at a Hotel instead of Warhammer World, isn't that what the big games hall is for? Edit: Never mind, I didn't realise that it's not a gaming weekend.

The only thing about that depiction that cut my nerves was when they tried sending some Wolf-look alikes aboard during a mass boarding attack. Although, in that specific instance since the point of the battle was "Keep the Wolves occupied", leaving some saboteurs behind would make sense.

geordie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Got my ticket and can honestly say I'm now like a small child awaiting Xmas morning. Couldn't make last years as I had an exam on the Monday. Was hoping and praying that it wasn't a one off event. I won't know a soul there but looking forward to meeting the creators of some stunning work here on the BnC as well as the Demi Gods that are the FW/BL staff. Not decided whether to stay at the Belfry or at a cheaper hotel nearby. Anyone up for a few beers on Saturday night!?
