Emperor's Furor Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Is this right? I looked on the FW site but can't find any, is this an oversight by FW considering a load of other legions already have doors?

Calas Typhon Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Is this right? I looked on the FW site but can't find any, is this an oversight by FW considering a load of other legions already have doors? I would presume they are going to sort them out in the future, They are chucking out bits and bobs for most legions such as transfers and so on. I would expect them soon though.

Vodunius Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'd be rather surprised if they release any as the minimalist iconography of the Sons of Horus doesn't really lend itself to 3D sculpting like the other legions with their skulls and dragons and lightning etc. They sell an etched brass sheet that pretty much nails it.

Terminus Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Real men don't use doors, it just makes getting to the enemy take that much longer! Joking aside, with their transfers being no longer available, I am expecting some kind of max sexy transfer sheet like the new ones. The Sons' iconography is kind of boring, it's all mild variations of the eye (my favorite is the eyebrow variant seen on reavers), so you could probably just get the brass pieces and just stick them onto the doors.

KBA Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'd be rather surprised if they release any as the minimalist iconography of the Sons of Horus doesn't really lend itself to 3D sculpting like the other legions with their skulls and dragons and lightning etc. They sell an etched brass sheet that pretty much nails it. By that logic, the transfer sheet for shoulder pad iconography would have disqualified the SoH MKs II-IV sculpted pads from ever being made. For me, I want the sculpted doors for the same reason I wanted those pads: having a raised, sculpted icon was appealing to me no matter how simplistic the design is. Side note: I'm sure FW SoH rhino doors would be more than just the Horus eye and its variant. Look at the beautiful SoH contemptor for hints as to where the sculpted details could go.

Look at the beautiful SoH contemptor for hints as to where the sculpted details could go. You mean the contemptor that is decorated with three variations of eyes? Baroque, wide open, and on fire?

What I really dig about the Contemptor is those subtle, yet amazingly bad ass recessed spikes in the armor. I picture those on the doors, along with some chains and skulls for good measure. And yes, of course those eyes. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320341-no-soh-vehicle-doors/#findComment-4335374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You know that you can email FW and ask them if they plan on releasing SoH doors? They reply to every email they get eventually.

Marshal Loss Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 FW didn't do SoH doors because when they mocked up designs it looked identical to what you'd get if you just used brass etch. This was back when they were doing the World Eaters, DG doors etc right at the beginning of their Heresy coverage. They won't make them.

KBA Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 That's a shame. I look at the Word Bearers' doors with the added details combined with the sculpted symbols and think what could have been. Not a major loss -- plan B it is. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320341-no-soh-vehicle-doors/#findComment-4335916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You know that you can email FW and ask them if they plan on releasing SoH doors? They reply to every email they get eventually. They usually answer with "maybe." I'd ask anyway, but I've yet to get anything useful out of them.
