Emperor's Furor Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So I was wondering, from those that have read the book is there any explaination to the early Imperial Fists scheme? For example we know why the Dusk Raiders had a single red arm, but why do the Imperial Fists have a single Yellow arm. Also is the main colour metallic like boltgun metal or is it grey?

Tyrannicide Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That scheme is an example of what the Imperial Fists looked like during the Compliance Wars of the Sol System. Allegedly, the coloration of the right arm and shoulder date this being just after the "Fall of Roma".

Marshal Rohr Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It looks metallic. Almost all the Legions started out gray or had a reason they didn't. Luna wolves were white because of Luna, Salamanders adopted the colors because of something about Saturn, etc. The gold arm has something to do with Roma, because after that was when it started appearing.

Nehekhare Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 funny how the IF wore the colors of the IW back on terra, including chevrons on the bolters and all. no shame in that, the IV was one of the three most successful legions at the time.

Emperor's Furor Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm assuming this was before they were reunited with Dorn? Also when exactly should I expect my pre order for book 3 to come, does anyone know?
