Marshal Reinhard Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 See the title. I had expected them to be able to do so on account of this guy, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBbzTS0XoAET11S.jpg but this seems not to be the case? EDIT: Iron halos aren't even gear characters can take in general, its just something captains typically have, just like chaplains have rosariuses (rosarii?). I guess the one the Lieutenant above has is just decorative then?

MegaVolt87 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Primaris captains have the Halo without the skull I think. A minor difference, though still a difference. I miss back banners, it's a pain sourcing them via bits. I used up my spares years ago on OG marines.

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yes, all captains in the codex, with the exception of the Cataphractii one, are listed as having iron halos and its reflected on their models (in the case of Primaris anyway, as they're specific kits) (also assuming the crest on the birthday captain is an iron halo). With Primaris Leutenants, only the above model has one, but it's not something that's reflected in his rules at all.

Closet Skeleton Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm pretty sure that model is a Captain that was painted as a Lieutenant to keep the injoke going. The Legionaire apron is more of a captain thing.

The Legionaire apron is more of a captain thing. His belt and right pauldron are sculpted with the "Lieutenant symbol" (skull with a halo around it, ironically). He doesn't have have the chest ropes (neither does the Gravis captain to be fair), he doesn't have a cape. He's pretty low on decorations in general (there's more blinged out Lieutenants out there) and none of the Primaris captains has had a Legionaire apron. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357878-primaris-lieutenant-still-cant-take-iron-halo/#findComment-5372436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I’m the opposite. I snip all the halls and back banner off any model Ive ever had.

phoenix01 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 That model is officially called "Lieutenant Amulius". I just bought him on eBay for $60.

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Indeed, I painted one just a few weeks ago. My point is they typically add the items to the rules if one of their special event or birthday models has something not available in said rules, except the new codex does not list iron halo as an option for Lieutenants even now, despite Amulius here.

mel_danes Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'll be converting this very left-tenant into a Captain this evening. Lovely mini.

I just bought him on eBay for $60.Bought one myself from someone emptying out their pile of shame along with the sprues for Blackstone Fortress. Personally I want to use him as an Emperor's Champion since he has the right sort of feelnfor the role (though the sword will need replacing to be 100% correct).
