Sandlemad Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 We saw a spear-wielding dude in Wolf King and Russ seemed confidant enough it was his brother. That... could be him, right? Can't say I hugely care for the design of the Pale Spear on the cover though. Looks like an ornamental fence post rather than something sleek and Necron-y (I know there's no direct confirmation it;s Necron design and not other xenos-weirdness but still). Hope it doesn't come through like this on the eventual Alpharius model.

IronDrake28 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Dorn's chainsword looks A+, like an eviscerator on steroids. Manly steroids. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324545-praetorian-of-dorn/page/2/#findComment-4472791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah gotta agree about designs - Alpharius looks very....plain (but maybe that's intentional) and the spear is a bit weird. Dorn looks awesome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324545-praetorian-of-dorn/page/2/#findComment-4473086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSwordmaster Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah gotta agree about designs - Alpharius looks very....plain (but maybe that's intentional) and the spear is a bit weird. Dorn looks awesome. I wonder if other Alpha Legion marines look like him or at least close to him.

Izlude Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 The helmeted Alpharius from the forgeworld rulebook looks awesome but I agree he sort of looks plain jane with nothing that characteristic about him (which is probably the point). As for the spear I rather like it, if I remember isn't the pale spear a relic (Cabel or Necron). It looks appropriately alien. As far as primarch weapons go I remember the pale spear being pretty baddass rule wise.

IronDrake28 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The Pale Spear is indeed Necron-y. I liked Alphy's description in The Seventh Serpent, and if Praetorian of Dorn has even a bit of the sneaky awesomeness that book had I'll be all over it.

I thought the ebooks came out on the release day of the hardbacks? Ebooks release, apart from Codex/Battletome stuff, on the day the print goes up for preorder. Preorders on print usually ship early in the week so they tend to arrive before the official release date too. If a book is a Librarium release, that edition hits a day early as far as I'm aware.

It is indeed the real Alpharius. He dies to Rogal Omegon becomes Alpharius for good Should I expect Alpharius that Rogal met was a clone or something? Nope, the real deal, and Dorn knows it. The interesting thing are his motives... Sigismund kicks arse, but it isn't his book. Its Archamus's first and foremost. Dramatis Personae: The VII Legion ‘Imperial Fists’ Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, Praetorian of Terra Archamus, Master of the Huscarls, ‘The Last of the First’ Sigismund, Lord Castellan of the First Sphere, First Captain, Marshal of the Templars Fafnir Rann, Lord Seneschal, Captain of the First Assault Cadre Boreas, Sergeant, First Company Halbrecht, Lord Castellan of the Second Sphere, Fleet Master Effried, Lord Castellan of the Third Sphere, Seneschal Camba Diaz, Lord Castellan of the Fourth Sphere, Siege Master Demetrius Katafalque, Captain, 344th Company Kestros, Sergeant, 65th Squad, 344th Company The XX Legion ‘Alpha Legion’ Alpharius, Primarch of the Alpha Legion Ingo Pech, Captain Mathias Herzog, Captain Phocron, Headhunter Prime Kel Silonius, Headhunter Kalix, Headhunter Hekaron, Headhunter Myzmadra, Operative Ashul, Operative Incarnus, Aventian progression savant Sork, Agent, captain of the scavenger vessel Wealth of Kings Omegon Imperial Personae Malcador, Regent of the Imperium Su-Kassen, Solar Command Staff, former Admiral of the Jovian Fleets Morhan, Strategos, 56th Veletaris Tercio, Second Solar Auxilia Cohort (the ‘Saturnyne Rams’) Chayo, Magos, Primary Voice on the Unbreakable Truth Armina Fel, Astropath-adjutant to Rogal Dorn Heliosa-78, Cult Matriarch of the Selenar Andromeda-17, Personified-scion of the Selenar And of course Horus Lupercal and Maloghurst in the prologue (check the extract!). Anybody who claims that the Heresy isn't moving and that we'll never get to Terra has obviously slept for the past 5 installments or so. ‘It must begin now, Mal,’ said Horus, the words seeming to answer Maloghurst’s silent doubts. ‘The first shot must be fired now, or it will not land before the true battle begins. Sol must shake in the firmament, and its protectors bleed.’ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324545-praetorian-of-dorn/page/2/#findComment-4473562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
