chapter master 454 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 So I have, with knights being out decided to go with house Taranis. Their relic is awesome (melta at all ranges), their trait is quite reasonable (I mean, raw maths more questoris class knights should have 28 effective wounds) and it could be argued their stratagem is alone the most powerful in the codex...well...maybe behind death grip for deleting characters. Digressions aside, I decided on Taranis and now I added an extra layer to what i wanted to do: I want to paint up knights that have actually appeared in some form. I want to paint knights who have their heraldry and armaments known and shown. I checked both the codex and a wiki for colours and so far, I have found the following Taranis Knights that I aim to paint at some point: "Devastation Unbridled", Dominus Class Castellan "Blade of Mars", Questoris Class Errant* "Omnissiah's Fury" Questoris Class Paladin* "Red Might" Questoris Class Crusader "Giant-Killer" Questoris Class Errant "The Red Doom" Questoris Class Paladin "Red Jackal" Armiger Class Warglaive *These two have had a bit of a conflict of lore concerning the codex. In the codex, it is stated that Xantek pilots the Blade of Mars captioning the exact image of "Omnissiah's Fury" yet earlier, as the example piece for heraldry, Xantek is referenced regarding the example piece (un-named on showing) yet was the exact image of the "Blade of Mars" as the wiki claims. I am not sure how to reconcile this conflict but as it stands, I am going to assume an error and assume the Errant variant is the true "Blade of Mars" and that the Paladin Variant is actually "Omnissiah's Fury" being mis-named or mis-placed. So right there, there is 7 knights I can pull from however the choice is a little small. A combination of Errants and Paladins mainly. Right now, my current castellan I have is in the process of becoming "Devastation Unbridled" which I am SUPER hyped on how it is turning out so far. However in my search it seems to be few noted Taranis Knights available which I would like to have as a historical reference to create those knights. I mean, as it stands no variant hits the 3 limit so the current list is still a target but I am curious if anyone knows of any other Taranis Knights that have pictorial references I could use to create them in the future or is the 7 above the only ones known visually? I do remember hearing that apparently House Taranis appears in a BL novel, maybe something from there?
