simison Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 That sounds like a reference I'm not getting, but otherwise sounds good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316969-il-v-the-halcyon-wardens/page/4/#findComment-4411199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 So...uh...the AoS Presecutors have this as a bit in their kit. http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99120218006_SCProsicutorsStormcallJavelins05.jpg ...might have to buy at least one set at some point >_> Seeing as Slips has moves away from this look for the Scions, maybe this could be how Malus ends up looking? Seems appropriate for him to adopt the storm imagery.

simison Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 That's an interesting idea, minus the shield. The shield might be featured later for loyalists.

Slips Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Actually, the only reason I linked that was for the Trident. Not the actual rest of the mini.

bluntblade Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Neat. And Skal's right, my tablet's machine spirit gets iffy with spellchecker sometimes. In other news, the Wardens are more fun to write in combat than I'd expected. simison 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316969-il-v-the-halcyon-wardens/page/4/#findComment-4418415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Weighing up whether Malis or Irvin might appear in the Ark Reach story - mostly in a small scene with Raiden. Be nice to set Malis up and show his beginnings as a hero, vain though he might be, and his closeness to the Lightning Bearers.

simison Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Agreed, go with Malis. Irvin has plenty of time to shine elsewhere. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316969-il-v-the-halcyon-wardens/page/4/#findComment-4427624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yeah, the villains need building up too. Been wondering a bit about Alexos' arc for that reason.

bluntblade Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Sim, do you have an idea how you want Malis to fight? I have him sparring with Raiden in the scene they share.

simison Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 As a member of the Order of the Shield, he obviously has his own storm shield. He probably has a spear, much like the rest of his brothers, but he could also have a secondary weapon. Maybe a power axe.

simison Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I didn't want to spoil AO's amazing announcement, so I'm making the announcement here. I will not be making a FW purchase. The money, instead, will be devoted to upcoming medical bills because my wife will be admitting herself into a mental ward to help her fight her illnesses for a small period of time. For those who are inclined, prayers are appreciated. For all others, thoughts are welcomed.

bluntblade Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Do you have a Legion warcry, Sim? Because in battle, I'm imagining them using the Roman trick of shouting intio their shields to amplify the noise. If you have one I might add that to the Shrike battle. Also, the book cover in my head wants a snappy, aggressive subtitle.

Also, the book cover in my head wants a snappy, aggressive subtitle.Only vaguely. Alex has his 'death bell' ring when he bangs his weapon against Aegis, so there was a thought that every now and then the Wardens will bang their weapons against their shields for a wordless cry. There's always the standard 'For' war cries. "For the Warmaster/Emperor/etc". But a truly unique war cry? Hadn't thought of one yet.

Great, now I can't stop envisioning the Halcyon Wardens in Phalanx formation with Alexandros at their head quoting 300: Alexandros: "Wardens! What is your profession?!" Wardens: "HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!" As for a Warcry, how about... "We are the Shield! We are the Spear!" Maybe a bit generic, but it fits their nature fairly well I think, protectors of the Imperium, death of it's foes.
