Lunar Centurion Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 This is right, everything in the set can be in 40k. This was a good move on GW's part. It excludes no one from their net of money-stealing. I seriously doubt anyone's buying this for the game though, it's all for plastic Heresy! 3 more days. 3. More. Days. And I have school. Too much waiting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315618-mark-iv-and-all-things-hh/page/2/#findComment-4216368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 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) Very similar to my interests... Although as easy as it is, IW shouldn't be in mk4 :( Hmmm you may be right... I dont think ive ever seen them wearing mark IV. I dont see why they wouldnt have had any though not that im full bottle on Iron warrior fluff??? Maybe I will just do 2 loyalist chapters instead. Ive always like Imperial fists! I will rhink more on this!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315618-mark-iv-and-all-things-hh/page/2/#findComment-4216392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Saying IW dont have Mk4 is like saying BA dont have Mk4. For reference, Horus diverted shipments of newer Mk4 to the traitor legions, so the traitors (IW included) started with more sets of Mk4 than all others, and probably had more than the BA.

Charlo Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Oh yeah, I totally meant it as a visual thing, they will have mk4,lots of it. But they suit 2/3 better :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315618-mark-iv-and-all-things-hh/page/2/#findComment-4216588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 http://solegends.com/citrt/rtb01marines.htm Anyone else remember this kit? It was the first pack of marines I bought way way way back in the day. 30 marines for a tenner - Modern day GW would lose their minds at the thought of that!

That was the first kit I bought too I covered them in 'Blood Angels Orange', still on the sprue, no primer For BA you were supposed to mix Blood Angels Orange with Terracotta apparently, but I didn't know at the time...

Michaelus_Raphael Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yup this was the first kit I bought too, stunning value. Nowadays a mint box goes on ebay for over £200... and I think I actually have one somewhere.

SM1981 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Plastic Terminators from Space Hulk first edition... Loving that. Not sure about the homemade chain fists though - they look like the optional bolter attachments from the the rouge trader box set stuck on the side - Is that right? Loving the retro though.

SM1981 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 This thread has got me getting all nostalgic for the Old Skool. I hunk I may have to trawl eBay and see if there are some of he old space marine figures that can be bought and painted to make an addition to my little force. Squad load out was a missile launcher, an assault cannon, a plasma gun, a power fist and power sword, and a force axe with bolt pistol if I'm correct? Not a playable unit on 40K but a nice nod to days of yore...

Michaelus_Raphael Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Now I'm getting seriously nostalgic for Oldhammer 40k - I think the second box I bought was "Terminators and Tyranids"... I think given all the replies that I might find a home for them in the 2nd company...

CaptainStabby Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have a set of metal RT era marines, with the old metal beer keg jump packs that are meant to get done up as a BA veteran squad of some kind. I've had them in my bitz box for... better than a decade since I worked at GW and could get bitz by weight. Someone needs to get a BA vow going so I have an excuse to finally paint them.

Arkangilos Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Second founding successor problems: Having suits that work for both HH and 40k, but have different paint schemes. Lol.

Frater Antodeniel Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Brothers, Can we agree to considering that many, if not all the Blood Angels Chapters still possess the knowledge to create new suits of Mark IV ? Arkangilos : I don't remember to have read anywere that the Legion paint scheme were closed to minor color difference between Legion Chapters. Furthermore, i think that the current Blood Angels/Angels Encarmine/Angels Vermillon for exemple, don't have real difference from the original color scheme. (For exemple, if i paint 40k Blood Angels using as basic red the Mephiston Red, how far from the 30k the paint scheme will be different ? yes, of course the marking squad will be slightly different, but we can also imagine that the original marking have stay unchanged on the old suits of Mark IV, after all, the Machine Spirit of the armour could take wrongly such a change...). =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315618-mark-iv-and-all-things-hh/page/2/#findComment-4220253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of the modern HH imagery using Meph Red but if you look at the original artwork or the Space Marines Painting Guide from the Rogue Trader era then the BA colour scheme was terracotta highlighted with Blood Angel Orange. http://i.imgur.com/584lD81.png http://wh40klib.ru/codex/painting_miniatures/how_to_paint_space_marine_1-st_ed_eng.pdf I'm severely tempted to paint mine in the traditional scheme just for nostalgia's sake....

evildrcheese Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I will unashamedly be painting my 30k dudes in a similar fashion to my 40k Angels Encarmine. FW seem to be use successor themes as part of the legion (there is thousands of companies within a legion, so it makes sense they'd develop their own identity within the legion).

Say for example you wanted to do a Flesh Tearer (for official) or my own Sanguinary Crusaders (for Unofficial). The reds are a bit more noticeably different, and the shoulders (and chest, for Flesh Tearers) is completely different. FW has opened it up a little, but it's still bound to raise some eyebrows.
