Klod Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 DC Dreadnought has a Chalice with an Iron Halo on his left side. I am wondering whether it has any meaning, or might be specific to a certain Company (his past Company maybe? as he is in the Death Company now). https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99120101089_BADeathCompanyDreadnaught06.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostwanted Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I don't believe it has any meaning. It's one of the same icons that comes with the Baal Predator just smaller. I believe it's just an icon that flits with the Death Company theme as it has a skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Book 8 of the HH doesn't really explain anything about iconography. So it's implied that any meaning developed after the heresy. Which is a shame, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The skull-shaped chalice is the image of the Red Grail. A common enough icon among the Blood Angels and their successors due to it being one of the greatest relics of tremendous spiritual and historical meaning. It was used to gather the Blood of Sanguinius and thus assured survival of the Legion and later Chapters of the Blood. Remember that Sanguinius' blood is used to activate new organs in an Aspirant. Why put it on a DC dread? IDK really. For me the Red Grail symbolises survival against the odds. So maybe it's supposed to mean "hope". But I doubt the designer of the kit thought about it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
