Yodhrin Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm considering making a model of Thiel, but I'm wondering if the cover art from the Censure audiodrama is considered accurate and if so, what the hell MK is it supposed to be? I don't recognise anything Heresy-looking about it, is he described as wearing some totally unique set of artifice armour somewhere? Or is there a description of him that specifies his appearance in a different way?

Xenith Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you can't tell what mark it is, it's mark V :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318627-aeonid-thiel-armour-mk/#findComment-4287044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodhrin Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you can't tell what mark it is, it's mark V Ugh, I hate that retcon. The issue is it doesn't look like MKV, it doesn't even look like no mark, it looks like artifice MKVII with a Black Templar/Aegis-style helmet, and I don't want to have a force of 30K Marines with a random 40K-looking HQ model standing out like a sore thumb.

Caillum Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I think it looks Mark IV-ish. Gold knees look like the Mark IV ones. Torso is a bit Mark VII, yes, but it doesn't exist yet. Maybe it's Praetorian armour, which is a variant of Mark IV? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/Ultramarines-Upgrade-Set Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318627-aeonid-thiel-armour-mk/#findComment-4287103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calas Typhon Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you can't tell what mark it is, it's mark V Ugh, I hate that retcon.

From the looks of it, MKIV pack and shoulder plates, non standard or a bastardized mix of MKVI/MKIV leg plates and a MKII torso plate for sure. The helm looks very much like the Templar/Legion Champion helmet. This is judging from the Censure artwork anyway.

Lunar Centurion Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 To me it looks like a mix of MKIV, V and the I-Don't-Even-Know MK. It's heavily bastardized and jury-rigged though.

Skalpynock Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The torso looks like "crappy supply line-pattern" Mk II (the one found on the Iron Warriors and White Scars upgrade sets), the helmet may be Prætor-subpattern MkIV, the kneepad-less greaves might be MkIV, and I'll attribute the rest to a mix of skillful artificer work, and artistic technoheresy license.
