Quozzo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is there any information about the so called "Nipple Armour"? Such as its official Mk# or pattern. I dont recall anything in the 5th ed codex but I don't have it to hand. I'd like some info on it hopefully in 7th ed, like why the BA seem to be the only ones with such elaborate pieces of gear.

Jolemai Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It was simply Artificer Armour which reflected the artisan nature of our Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It's essentially artificer armour. The underlying mark it was based on could be anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 All I know is that if we get it back for our Captains, I will be replacing the shaved Off nipples on Valek the Terribles armour to justify the 2+ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatOneMarshal Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's basically glorified artificer armor if anything it reminds for some one reason of some armor I saw that was made during the renaissance. When they get around to do the blood angels justice in the horus heresy game then So it's probable that at least one unit will have that look. I never was the biggest fan of the nipples I never understood why they had to do it I mean it's cool that the muscles are on there but why it couldn't just have been muscles why did you have to include nipples Matt ward? Sorry. That had marked the first rant I have made on the B&C! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think it is supposed to bring classic sculpture to life in armor form, which could explain the nipples. Be thankful our Sanguinary guard aren't anatomically correct 'Down there'!! HAHA End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Well atleast they are easy to remove, just a quick little cut and the smooth it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yeah, I just say cut them off if you don't like them. Looking at pictures of muscle cuirasses worn in Ancient Rome by senior officers, you see them both with and without nipples. I guess it is a question of taste. As others have said, they are supposed to imitate Renaissance style armour which, in turn, imitated classical Roman and Greek armour, integrating art/style and function. I am interested to see if the appearance of "nipple armour" on sergeants in leaked pics means that artificer armour will be an option for sergeants.

GrandMagnus Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Artificier armour for sergeants would be nice, a little bonus for those duel oriented sergeants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girot Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I don't mind the nipples at all. I am only grateful there are no moose knuckles. It looks like they gave the sergeants sexy time armor just for kicks since Sergeants can't take AA. While I greatly appreciate the pretty new bits I am a little confused why they even bothered.

Sorry. That had marked the first rant I have made on the B&C! Because nipples where always there? Look at the minis of Mephiston or Tycho. They always had that style of armor. So, that is one of a few things Matt Ward is not responsible for. And I do like nipples.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Matt Ward is/was a rules and fluff writer. He is not miniature designer. All Blood Angel articier armour is based off the original BA Captain model that came with the backpack cloak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
