recon0321 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is there anything in the fluff about allexus polux and the symbolism of the crimson fists....besides from the bit about dorn and the ritual hand cutting with legion neophytes?

Týr Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Are you asking where the 'title' The Crimson Fist comes from? I believe it's simply because he lost an arm and then chose to get a organic replacement instead of an mechanical. And the organic arm was crimson because it was not fully grown when he got it attached to him.

Týr Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 it didn't say explicitly in the book that, that is why he got the name. But I think it's quite obvious when you think about it. I can be wrong of course and the explanation turning out to be something else I haven't seen.

Marshal Rohr Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 There was a bit of miscommunication too. He had scars on that arm from the night he lost his twin.

Badaboom Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 There was a bit of miscommunication too. He had scars on that arm from the night he lost his twin. Yeah, in that scene, the reference is clear. Polux embodies the Imperial Fists spirit of sacrifice like no other we have seen so far.

drsergen Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I dont know that much about the fluff but i started making an Alexus Polux model based on his wargear from the stats page leak . . . before i found out how big he is. . .http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t628/kevin198811/Mobile%20Uploads/125A9917-F9BF-4556-8CF2-1E2120DB76D3_zpsrnz8raxd.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288920-alexus-polux-and-crimson-fists/#findComment-3641064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsergen Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 so im not sure how to scale him up ? before i go through all that work i might see what forgeworld comes out with, although i dont have my hopes up for them making 3 Imperial Fists Character models.

terranraida Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Alexis is a big ol' eskimo. Given the current resources, just make him as a regular marine but a bit more dynamic until FW releases a mini.

jeremy1391 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I hope that they make Pollux and Sigusmund as a set like they did with Erebus and Kor Phareon.

drsergen Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 oh id never thought of that maybe the will . . i know Polux is bigger than average but what about Sigusmund ?

BFeeder Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 According to "The Crimson Fist" Polux is slightly taller in his power armour than a marine wearing terminator plate. Nothing is mentioned of Sigismund's height as AFAIK.

captain Angel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I imagin Polux would have his combi and shield in the same hand, and would be strong enough to carry the shield as if it were a combat shield, pulling it into position when needed.
