Michaelus_Raphael Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Greetings brothers! Obviously most of us have seen the pics and info regarding Betrayal at Calth. Now you could paint them half as smurfs and half as word bearers but why not paint them all in the glorious colours of the IX legion?! In all seriousness, apart from being great new game this new box looks like a fantastic way to introduce a decent amount of Mk IV armour into your 40k BA force. My question is this; from a fluff point of view, which company would be the most logical home for 30 suits of relic Mk IV armour? It'd be reasonable to assume that wearing such a suit would be an honour reserved for the greatest, veteran members of the chapter but my 1st company is already full with Terminators, Sternguard and Vanguard so has there been anything written in the books or other background materials that would point to another home for Mk IV suits? Thanks for your help, For the Angel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Antodeniel Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Greetings Brother, Well, i would say that it depend from your chapter and your timeline. - Early fondation chapters (Blood Angels, Flesh Tearers, Angels Encarmine, Angels Vermillon, Angels Sanguine) are expected to possess many old armour suits. - Latest fondation chapters are expected to possess few/rare old armour suits. And as exemple for the timeline impact....for exemple with a Second Fondation chapter : 31k = 7/10 (70%) Spaces Marines possess Great Crusade/Pre-Heresy armour suits 32k = 6/10 (60%) 33k = 5/10 (50%) 34k = 4/10 (40%) 35k = 3/10 (30%) From this point, we can say that old armour suits start to become rare and are weared only by Sergeant, Vétérans....etc 36k = 2/10 (20%) 37k = 1/10 (10%) 38k = 1/25 (4%) From this point, old armour suits are relics in their own right, and treated like relic. preciously. Given only to vétérans or heroes of the chapter. 39k = 1/50 (2%) 40k = 1/100 (1%) Also, many chapters can retain rare exemples of Pre-Heresy Articifer Power Armour, that can be found on Characters such as Captain/Chaplain/Sanguinary Priest/Chapter Masters, for exemple. In addition of the Old but Normal Pre-Heresy/Heresy Power Armour suits. (40k follow the timeline between 32k and 41k). =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think the further you go towards "modern" times the more you see kitbashed suits with bitz from MK4+ because it's at that point the suits are built to have interchangeable parts. I would wager that MK7 you would see the most "whole" suits of but anything else could have parts from any of the marks I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 If the red scorpions have leagues of mk4 there's no reason we don't. Go nuts. First company makes the most sense tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jønke Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Within the last hour bols have postet a screenshot of the new white dwarf. They mention that all units from the HH set can be used in 40k. Wonder if they make rules for the old armour type and cataphratii terminators? http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2015/11/heresy-only-minis-coming-to-the-grimdark.html I will probably just mix them in with my regular troops.

LutherMax Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yeah I plan to mix them up unless I use the box as an excuse to start a Heresy-era force. Even then I'd proxy them as 40k marines and ally them to my BA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrahawk Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 As the Blood Angels are a First Founding Chapter, I don't think a good amount of Mark IV would look out of place in any company. Especially when you consider the artificer skill of the Chapter's warriors and Techmarines, if any could preserve them in fighting conditition it's the Blood Angels. Also, I have always considered Mark IV very iconic for the Blood Angels. Something about it just clicks with the Chapter. So go nuts! (not too much though, or you'll be wearing black armour in no time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorre Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I do plan on getting this set. I think id like to be able to play the new game as well as use the models to start a heresy era ba army. I think it would be a great way to get light weights interested in the hobby without overwelming them with 40k/30k. So I think ill paint half my dudes as Blood angels and the other half as iron warriors (super quick easy to do paint scheme) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm hmm, I've always thought of Konrad & Sanguinius are mirrors of one another, both had visions of the future but where Sanguinius was an optimist who could prevent the tragedies he foresaw, Curze was a cynical fatalist who resigned himself to suffering. Sanguinius believed whole-heartedly in building a bright future for Humanity, Curze believed in nothing but the wickedness of man and the futility of his efforts. Curze made himself a symbol of terror to instill obedience, Sanguinius was a symbol of hope to inspire alliegence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely with you guys here, Sanguinius and Curze certainly have that other side of the coin, polarised reflection thing going on. Which is mostly what turns me off Night Lords for when it cones to doing a traitor legion, I want something different. EDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
