I'm preferring the summation explanation.  That the sigma represents the combined strength of the XXth legion.  That said, it's clearly a Sigmar easter egg in the same way there were two censored dates on the timeline in Massacre.  Of course fans in the know recognize what it MIGHT mean, but in universe, we can assume a fairly strong prior that it's NOT what it means.

For all you Imperial Fist fans who like the 30k variant scheme: Catch!

Now, lets get that yellow off and cover him in Iron Hands symbols :P

I don't think that's a variant scheme, but a Pre-Primarch scheme. On one shoulder is an eagle and lightning bolts, a symbol of the Unification. On the other, "VII". And IIRC, the War Hounds' scheme was reversed. It seems like the "old schemes" and the "new schemes" are closely related, the way some of the "Pre-Primarch" and "Post-Primarchs" personalities of some Legions seem to have very minimal differences.

My own exact thoughts.

It makes sense, too much lightning and numbers and too few fists. But I don't know why FW used the pre-primarch scheme in their presentation video. IIRC they never used them with any other legion in the previous trailers.

@Marshal: That's a tad big assumption, mate. They're both grey, but the ones in the painting have no yellow, to my memory, and they sport a completely different mark of armour, more in line with "Black Ops Custodes" than run-of-the-mill Astartes. We do know the Fists were aboard the Vengeful, but to my memory those were 1st Company Terminators.

 

My guess is those (awesome) Marines will never be referenced. Unless the Knights Errant get some awesome new toys.

Oh that is a point, the Knights Errant do get grey armour don't they, maybe as the Heresy develops they get additional recruits and all begin adding Deathwatch-style amendments to their armour using their pre-Crusade-era legion colours?

Probably way off base with this conspiracy theory, but.......since we opened the can of worms, what if Omegon and Sigma are the II and XI Primarchs? and the two mystery dates are for when the two legions were disbanded and the Primarchs disappeared?. When really they were triplets and devised the scheme all along to join forces!. What if the Cabal were involved long before the Heresy and put the plan in action for the 3 to become 1?. What if I just shut up now and jump off the crazy train and go back to work!

Sigmar isn't a Primarch.

 

Alpharius and Omegon are identical twins, and were born/created in the same pod.

 

I think that the Alpha Legion image either has a pretty boring explanation, or it's a red herring like the cover of The Sigillite.

I love me some picture kind of reminds me when I was a kid and I only looked at books for awesome pictures. I am really digging the Dorn and Alpharius pencil drawings and it makes me excited to see the ones they made for Corax and Peturabo!

Funny, I always imagined the Iron Warriors more in this all-silver colour scheme. Looks mighty cool.

 

Is there any word on Perturabo's automata bodyguards?

Hard to keep silver all shiny and pretty in the trenches. ;)

Battle of Paramar, isn't the loyalists supposed to win that?

 

Yup.

 

Iirc it was a surprising battle won by the loyalists. 2 legions of traitor titans and I think a detachment of astartes assaulted what they thought to be an unguarded space port, but were pretty handily beaten back by some loyalist titans.

 

 

One of the traitor legions is the coolest IMHO: the "Tiger Eyes"

But Fulgrim's boys (why did I shiver while writing that...?) manage to always look pristine!

Anyways, me likes the IW better without the golden trim.
