Feels like Ironman’s Hulk-Buster suit to me :)

 

(make an interesting Black Legion Terminator option?)

 

Really like the second piece of fan art. I’m a sucker for maps, technical diagrams and schematics. I’d spend hours as a kid with the old Star Trek and Star Wars ship blueprints.t

Saturnine Armor could be used as an intermediate form of a Terminator and a Dreadnought. A brother too grievously damaged to be effective in power armor, but not to the point that they need to be suspended in amniotic fluid to survive. Or it cold be made Chapter-Specific for Iron Hands or Dark Angels.

I think it makes more sense to have the Saturnine pattern armor as the 1st or 2nd Edition Dreadnoughts (Proto-Dreadnoughts?) whose pilots were whole Marines who could exit the armor at will, though they suffer the same kind of mental deterioration a Titan Princeps suffers when outside from his/her mount.

Saturnine: Little is known about the origins of these Terminator suits other than that they were conceived at a similar time as the Indomitus and Tartaros patterns. Functionally, there is little difference between Saturnine and Indomitus armour, so it is believed that any divergence in design was largely aesthetic. However, few examples of this pattern are known to still exist.

 

Didn't realize get did a recent article on Terminator armors.

 

 

Seems like it's probably identical to the standard indomitus in function? The old artwork and models don't match the new description

It's just a reference to people who use the old RT models as terminators in the game still. I wouldn't take anything from WH Community to be actually canon unless it's just referencing published works as there's a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff.

GW is actually pretty good at letting us use our models. Case in point is the original Tigurius model is still valid because we bought it (actual quote from GW events team to me).

After I read the Warhammer Community article on Terminators it did spark my interest in Terminator again.

 

More so than just a Specialist Detachment, an actual upgraded statline (3 wounds, 2+ BS/WS) and new models with interesting weapons would go down a treat.

 

(But then we also have the desire to have upgrade Marines rules in general so as Beta Bolters providing an additional -1 AP in half range etc).

That's a real shame.

I was looking for a future release of Saturnine Termie armour in 30k where it functions differently from the norm.

Then again, FW has retconned a lot of things when it comes to armour types in the past, hopefully they'll do the same here.

Breachers. They exist in the lore, both sides in the Badab War using them a lot (figures when you have Astartes fighting Astartes), and they would fit in well in the troop section. Tougher than tacs but not as tough as termies, good and taking and holding but need to be supported on an open battlefield but hold their own in a urban environment. Allow them to take specials and stormbolters, making them an alternative but not a replacement for tactical squads.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself:thumbsup:

Looks like the trends are definitely a preference for Breachers followed by a customisable Honour Guard beat stick unit. Plenty of voters; I thank you all.

Thinking about it...

 

A HH MK Breacher plastic kit that can also get rules for 40K is a solid option but I think a MK8/9 new release would excite folk.

 

After all, a new MK of armour would give GW the excuse to remake the Classic Marines line.

Heres to hoping the rumors of the end of resin production by 2022 means that oldmarine models will get updates in the form of a fully fleshed out Heresy Line (to include the mark 7 of the Late Heresy)

Which they have already done with the Deathwatch models and (to an extent) with the Mk III and Mk IV marines.
