Hyaenidae Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I don't do this often, but I had to show y'all this piece, just in case you haven't seen it yet. http://40.media.tumblr.com/27d4b9c7d9d4bbf051adbc369ad4e96c/tumblr_ns8hm3v1GK1sf5d2go1_1280.jpg Holy tapdancing crap, that's a beautiful thing. FW really need to get off their duffs and make this a reality.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I really do need to try making one of those sometime. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313115-i-just-had-to-share-this-luna-wolf/#findComment-4160733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yeah I would love to see FWs take on that mark of armour. I wasn't even hugely keen on Cataphractii from a lot of the old art (the shoulders always looked too wide) but the models are gorgeous.

Daemon2027 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I really do need to try making one of those sometime. What do you think going to do with the LE model!

Atia Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 What's arkonak? Awesome picture, I quite like the orange and yellow checks on his fist The Arkonak pattern Terminator armour is another "ancient" armour variant, described together with Tartarus pattern armour in IA: 12^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313115-i-just-had-to-share-this-luna-wolf/#findComment-4160836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Very cool pic – where's it from? The bannerpole's slightly making my eye twitch, with the banner on the back of the pole and the XIV (thought I guess that could be fourteenth squad or something), but maybe it blew over or something. Aside from that minor and petty detail, it looks fantastic! Good old peahead pattern :) I wonder whether Arkonak pattern is a nod to one of the other prototype Terminator models? http://www.peteandkellie.com/wh40k/images/main/terminator_variant_c.jpg http://www.tinywars.com/coppermine/albums/gw/terminator_variant_b_410610_primed_white_01.jpg There was some cool art for those: http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/d/dc/Mk_2_Termi_Armour.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313115-i-just-had-to-share-this-luna-wolf/#findComment-4160840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologist Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 don't get to hung up on the small stuff Absolutely! In truth, I kinda like the slightly shonky bits of some older artwork, particularly that of Rogue Trader era. There's an immediacy and honesty to it that's quite removed from more polished modern stuff. It's clear it's by enthusiastic amateurs (like many of us) with a real love of the universe :) My favourite is this peahead Terminator with 'Revenebo' written on his shoulder pad. I always suspected that it was intended to be a panel reading 'revenge' but the artist ran out of space and decided to turn it into a painted-on bit of grafitti :) http://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/blogger-image-1597446132.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313115-i-just-had-to-share-this-luna-wolf/#findComment-4160906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I don't half love me some big ass pauldrons on a terminator. Bro got swole for the Warmaster. Very excited for when FW get on the chunky Terminator train.

Olis Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Great find, Hyaenidae. I'd love to see FW step up to the plate and make some Saturnine plate.

Joe Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I could see them giving Saturnine/Arkonak to a special character/formation (possibly Space Wolves?), but probably not as another armour for your average Terminator Squad to use. But hey, you never know. :p I mean, I'm still hoping once FW are done with the Heresy and Scouring they'll open up to doing the Unification Wars/early Great Crusade. Love me some Thunder Armour. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313115-i-just-had-to-share-this-luna-wolf/#findComment-4161098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always suspected that it was intended to be a panel reading 'revenge' but the artist ran out of space and decided to turn it into a painted-on bit of grafitti It's even better: "revenebo" is pig-Latin for "I will be back". You know, because Terminator armor. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313115-i-just-had-to-share-this-luna-wolf/#findComment-4161172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Haha that's really good, is it true? I may have to paint this onto one of my contemptors now though! Yes indeed, the older stuff is done by guys who just liked the whole thing, and didn't have degrees in art and computer design etc like they do nowadays, it's in days before those things. Not to say that what we have now is crap at all, it just has that little bit of a personal touch on them. Just like revenbo!
