Helias_Tancred Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm putting together a Captain. I plan on giving him artificer armor for a 2+ save. Can the armor be red? Does it have to be a special form fitting armor like the tactical sergeant, Dante, or Tycho? Or can it be armor of a normal appearance? Thanks.

Arkangilos Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It can be anything. Artificer Armor is just really, really well made. If the person prefers standard aesthetics, then it will look standard, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joasht Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I've personally never seen or heard of anyone arguing over whether something looks too much like a 3+ to be a 2+. As long as you are clear then it's usually fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Invictus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yeah, it's not that big a deal. It's not like it will change a game too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InquisitorBlack Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It would be preferable to use ornate looking armour, but if you can't, just mention it before the game. You can paint it whatever color you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Like perhaps the sergeant model from the tactical squad, or kit bash some stuff from DC or SG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 On the matter of that tac squad sarge and arty armour; he is clearly wearing AA or just a unique ornate PA in the box photographs, but there is no such chest piece on the sprues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the pics of the sprues on the GW site it's in the top right corner of the third sprue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there. It's even listed in the description. Anyways, that armor is counted as regular Power Armor for him, so we can use that and Calgar to see that Artificer Armor and Power Armor can go both ways when it comes to looks. Calgar's Artificer Armor looks like regular Power Armor and the Tac Sgt's Power Armor looks like Artificer Armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well I'm honoured to have a unique set without that armour on the sprue. Seriously, mine ain't there :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 There was a time when some tournaments wouldn't let you use the classic BA Captain model as nipple armour was deemed to be Artificer Armour... :facepalm smiley: Personally, I paint all Artificer Armour (and thus, my Captains) in gold. GW are currently using red for them. It's all personal taste really :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
