Emperor's Furor Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Do you think these guys could be represented by the Solar Auxilia models or should I wait to see if some lesser form of the Imperial Army shows up? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Therion_Cohort Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301437-therion-cohort/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Don't see why not, you could use any human model to represent Imperial Army regiments in theory. I think their commander wore a red sash, wouldnt be hard to gs one.

Emperor's Furor Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yeah, I was just worried the solar auxilia is a little to elite to represent them though.

Emperor's Furor Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I was wondering can anyone tell me what the scheme is for the cohort I can't find my copy of A Raven's Flight. I've searched elsewhere and it mentions black and also red but I'm not sure where the red is prominent. I was originally going to do them with black carapace, grey faitgures, brown boots and gold emblems and trim on the carapace.

Relict Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Going by their description in Angel Exterminatus, they are clad in khaki and iron. My interpretation would be to use the SA models - paint the hard armor the same burnished metal as IW power armor and paint the soft fatigues khaki. Furthermore, they helmets are described as mimicking the sigil of the IW. I think the SA models would do nicely in this regard. They are supposed to be raised from Olympia and fanatical to the core.

Think you've got mixed up here, I'm on about the Therion Cohort, the Imperial Army that accompanies the Raven Guard in the likes of A Raven's Flight, Deliverance Lost and The Divine Word.

Relict Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Oops. I was thinking of the IA forces bound to the Iron Warriors. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301437-therion-cohort/#findComment-3910793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've been going through everything I have on the Therion Cohort. I found my copy of A Raven's Flight and I had the Divine Word and Deliverance Lost on my kindle. In A Raven's Flight's it mentions they had black masks and the commanding officers have red sashes as a sign of higher nobility. In Deliverance lost it mentions they stand out as red and gold whilst standing at attention during the original compliance of Istvaan, but then later on during the attack on the Perfect Fortress, the commanders Bodyguard is described as wearing "golden carapace armour and white fatigues stained and muddied by the advance from the landing zone." That last one is the most detail I've read on the uniform of a common trooper, so I think I may be going with that. Golden armour with silver detail along with white fatigues and red shoulder pads, what do you think?

Emperor's Furor Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Do you think I should do the helmet visors in black, to break up the gold a bit more? This is the sentence from A Raven's Flight "Valerius watched the columns of black-masked soldiers marching onto the orbital shuttles". If you see the guy on the right of this picture I was thinking of doing the visor black and the eye rims gold perhaps? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/sa-las1p.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301437-therion-cohort/#findComment-3912655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
