Memento Of Prospero Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Afternoon folks. Anyone recall the mark of armour Kroeger wears and wargear details? I recall he uses a chainsword and bolt pistol (as a true line soldier) but the rest is a little hazy. Thanks in advance ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316205-kroeger-angel-exterminatus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calas Typhon Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 MK III, I believe he used a sword at one point to near the end. Turns out he did in fact just use a chainsword although no doubt he had more than that in his arsenal, I would presume the sword is in reference to a chainsword near the end rather than and actual sword.

Atia Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I would imagine he has a paragons blade chainsword, similiar to Loken ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316205-kroeger-angel-exterminatus/#findComment-4228656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atia Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think it's said that atleast most of the Legion wears Mark IV, as their Auxilia uses helmets that look like mark IV ones ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316205-kroeger-angel-exterminatus/#findComment-4228679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calas Typhon Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I believe it was in Storm of Iron where the Armour he wears was stated. I will take a look shortly.

chaplain mortis Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Just gave the book a scan read...cant find a mention...there is something on heavy plates of ceramite and looking through his visor but thats all i kind find at the mo.. Forrix is mentioned as cataphractii and torimino has mkiv... Heavy ceramite and "visor" would lead me to believe either mkii or mkiii (would have assumed mkiv would be lenses)...as he is scaling a citadel wall in the beginning, would mkiii be to heavy for that kinda thing.. Will read abit more thoroughly later ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316205-kroeger-angel-exterminatus/#findComment-4228727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the emperor is scottish Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Doesn't Kroger were a bastard mix of armour instead of the uniformity of one total mark?

DarKnight Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I would imagine he has a paragons blade chainsword, similiar to Loken ^^ I see no reason why there shouldn't be, but when I think 'Paragon blade' I think power weapon. Do they really make (in univerese) paragon blade chainswords?

Memento Of Prospero Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Half way through the book...still no mention lol Thanks for trying, I am pretty sure that most of the details concerning him are at the beginning, it's just him hacking and slicing at the end.

I thought about this, it could be an interesting take as well.

the emperor is scottish Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It suits the character. I cant imagine he would care what armour mark he had on so long as it done its job.

Calas Typhon Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Ok reading Storm of Iron, it seems that Kroeger used a chainsword and a "heavy set of dark iron armour" so MK2-MK3 will do it, unless he has added so much weight to a set of MK4. A mix would probably sort that out! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316205-kroeger-angel-exterminatus/#findComment-4230603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mix would probably sort that out! You can't really use Kroeger's 40k armour as a good example, it has changed a fair bit since the Heresy. I don't mean the Mk, I mean ... it becomes sentient and changes it's shape to accommodate a new wearer. And of course the fact it's been 10,000 years, and he's been living in the Eye, with a bunch of guys capable of producing their own armour so he probably has something not seen in 30k.

It was just used to find any information about what he might ware. As for the sentience, well that was not exactly down to the armour and more the.. lovely warp thing that wanted Kroeger's lovin' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316205-kroeger-angel-exterminatus/#findComment-4230780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
