Doctor Perils Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think what could make Indomitus stand appart is the ability to deepstrike. If there were a pattern to have advanced sensors, it would be Tartaros I think (Indomitus is supposed to be easier to repair) Grifftofer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 ^Oh snap, didn't think of that. That would make it technically the same as the 40k version, while avoiding the problem of "why did they get worse?" I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Cataphractii is no longer Slow and Purposeful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) No. They removed it to get rid of the exploit of adding a cataphractii character to a heavy support squad and conferring the rule to the whole squad. Instead they now have Relentless (which doesn't carry over) and some sentences about not being able to run or overwatch. In the end it comes to the same thing but with less options for shenanigans.

bluntblade Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 So, which Legions have aesthetic variants of armour marks, like in canon? From memory, the Lightning Bearers, Scions and Shepherds have their own variants of Mk IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Wardens of Light for sure. Â Variant of mk4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Wardens of Light for sure. Variant of mk4 What differs with their armour? I haven't been aware of any real variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, the Lightning Bearers, Scions and Shepherds have their own variants of Mk IV. The Grave Stalkers wouldn't likely have much in the way of aesthetic armour variants (fearsome embellishments aside), but I see the Wraith Armour as something of a mix of MkIV and MkVI (solid plates and smooth surfaces).

MikhalLeNoir Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 From the aesthetics? : knight helmets, runes on the armor ( similar to those the word bearers have). Often the small shield and the armor is very ornate. You can see it perfectly on the truscale sith (although this is artificer armor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 When you say armor variant, do you mean like an entirely different pattern, or just aesthetic variants, i.e. the Forgeworld legion upgrade sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Drakzilla~ Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The Warriors lean towards Mk. IV with some additional layered armor plates. However, their helms are closer to Mk II or III in design. The Iron Monks have their own variant of Mk II with an armored collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Good question...  Overall, they prefer MK IV and VI As they decorate themselves with bones and skulls, maybe an allied forge world makes use of it and creates skull helmets like that of canon chaplains A beaker skulk helmet would be cool, but shaped more like a reptile instead of a avian creature  I love Draks version of Andezos wrist blade. Maybe something like this for the Legionnaires as well  Have to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Technically most 'serkers are in MkV, in the "it's mostly patchwork suits" sense. It's very much a vulture society when it comes to the possessions of the dead. Fenbain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Void Eagles employ the Paravane variant of Mk II (noted as being better suited to void operation, according to the Dark Angels image in Retribution), their destroyer cadres wear a derivative of Mark III (that is, reinforced Mk II but not so heavy it prevents the use of jump-packs). Production-grade Mk V finds its way in the legion thanks to an ease in production from forge-ships, rather than needing resupply at forge-worlds, meaning most of their suits are amalgamations of Mk 2 and 5. The Fourth is a legion of field repairs, of bonding studs and duct tape. The 4th Fleet's cultural inspiration, and I really need to do a complete list in case some of them are not obvious, is "Soviet space program and weapon engineering jokes".

bluntblade Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I've been toying with the idea that the Berserkers prompt the production of Mk V as they field so many Destroyers, whose weapons habitually mess with the more delicate armour systems and often don't care for much of the finer details that Maximus plate would provide.

Chief Captain Redd Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I can't imagine the Bears having any uniform variant though they do love beakie helms, rivets, and extra plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroyers in MkIV always felt weird to me, seemed to valuable for such a distasteful manner of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skalpynock Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Are people cool with the idea that the Berserkers prompt the creation of Mk V? Also what other Legions would use it? No objection whatsoever. The Void Eagles have about 35% of the Legion (terminators excluded) in MkV or derivations thereof, and I seem to remember the Eagle Warriors and Warriors of Peace fielding some as well, especially on neo-inducts. The Warbringers will hate it. It' new AND bad?! Â Also, as of Master of Mankind, MkIII with jump-pack is confirmed as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
