Warsmith Dantioch weapons


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

 

I'm looking to build a model to represent Warsmith Barabas Dantioch for my Iron Warrior army and am a little stuck to how he should be armed. I read the Age of Darkness short story last night and narrowed down details of his armour, but there was no mention of what he's armed with. I've seen models online that depict him with a hammer. Is this referenced somewhere? Also, does he have a servo arm, pistol etc.? Any help would be great.

 I don't specifically remember any war-gear referenced in any of the books or stories  (The Iron Within, Pharos, Unremembered Empire, etc). If I was going to guess he likely wore MKIII artificer armor. For a sidearm likely had something like a bolt pistol, volkite serpenta or possibly an archaeotech pistol. In addition he probably was armed with a master crafted power weapon, a thunder hammer or power mace coming to mind as the fluffy choices.

Did the HH novel writers leave out detailed descriptions of Dantioch's wargear because the authors wanted to give the FW rules writers the most leeway about deciding his wargear for a future book?  

 

I would like to see FW make a Warsmith Dantioch model.  It's not everyday you get an Astartes from a Traitor Legion get named a "Hero of the Imperium" by the likes of Roboute Guilliman himself.  I'm thinking his stats would be like Maloghurst the Twisted from the HH rulebooks, since both Dantioch and Maloghurst share similar disabilities though from different causes. 

FW might hypothetically, he would fit into a book which includes the Battle For Sotha, or the Shadow Crusade. Though he only had six other iron warriors with him after trolling Warsmith Krendl at the Schadenhold, so his in game utility might be limited.
