Terimus Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey so I'm just wondering what you guys think the Pale Spear would look like. It says it is an ancient double-headed spear that howls, but what would you think it actually looks like? So if you guys have any pictures to help with your descriptions that would be helpful Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290473-the-pale-spear-weapon-of-alpharius/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120715213211/warhammer40k/images/9/95/Alpharius_by_John_Blanche.jpg This is the only official artwork of Alpharius that I have ever seen where he is wielding something spear-like. This might be the Pale Spear, or at least the Blanchified concept art that inspired it. Or it might be something else entirely.

Daemon2027 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I bet Alpharius makes light sabre noises when he swings it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290473-the-pale-spear-weapon-of-alpharius/#findComment-3671410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I plan on using a Necron weapon when I kit-bash my own Alpharius model. The reason being that it kinda sorta sounds like a Necrontyr weapon.

MasterofMankind Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Honestly, that looks more like a scythe to me. As for the pale spear, my guess would be a Eldar/Old Ones weapon, that Alpharius chose to wield because it's practical Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290473-the-pale-spear-weapon-of-alpharius/#findComment-3671548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrin Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'd go with it being Necron, so it would probably look something like the various staffs and scythes that Necron Lords have.

Noserenda Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I dunno if theres any art of the Soulspear? (Because they are blatantly one and the same).

Perrin Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289712-the-serpent-beneath-omegon/page-2 The Soulspear = Pale Spear thing came up in this thread. There are more differences than similarities imo.

Terimus Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Interesting, I'll try to keep some of those thoughts in mind when I build my Alpharius. I was thinking of going with this Dark Eldar Hellglaive for the tips, to give them a nice archaic look to it http://megabitzshop.com/bilder/produkte/gross/Warhammer-40k-Bitz-Dark-Eldar-Hellions-Hellglaive-D.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290473-the-pale-spear-weapon-of-alpharius/#findComment-3673146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 It's Alpharius we are talking about here. The Pale Spear is actually a short sword. His enemies always expect, yet they never see it coming.

Custodian Athiair Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 You see I envisage the Pale Spear being different to what everyone else seems to suggest http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/025/7/1/fantroll__descra_selich_by_empt_minded-d73mi3x.png Sorry for the large and rubbish image, but the spear is more akin to what I imagine, almost two short swords at the tips rather than a glaive or halberd Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290473-the-pale-spear-weapon-of-alpharius/#findComment-3673198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
