I wish there was a fifth visually distinct pattern (that wasn't something very exclusive like Custodes or Grey Knight Termies) so the Cult Legions and Undivided could each get different Termies. Sadly I don't think that's gonna be even possible to kitbash for at least many years to come, excluding coming up with homebrew designs, of course.

Zoatibix Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 (edited) EC getting a modernised version of what I think is one of the oldest terminator styles would be pretty cool. (As in models that we got back then. I think I have a couple of the early ones in the loft.)

LSM Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 (edited) On Terminators: While there's something to be said about each Cult Legion favouring a Mark of armour (and thus needing some more Marks of TDA) I don't really think it's necessary. Death Guard were (as conceptualised in the early 90s by Jes Goodwin, and then again in plastic in the late 2010s) heavily MkIII based, with MkII mixed in. Thousand Sons, entirely magically modified and maintained MkIV. So they have a very strong throughline to Cataphractii and Tartaros. But World Eaters, while rooted in MkV, always leaned into scavenged MkVI and MkVII as well. (And the newest kit gave them those Cataphractii-esque shoulder pads.) Emperor's Children MkVI, but with noted MkVII supplies. (And the Horus Heresy gave them a strong link to MkIV.) So those two have always had less of a focus on one Mark, and always had more visual overlap with the basic CSM aesthetic. For World Eater Terminators I think I'd do a reverse Blightlord - Indomitus base (for the aggressive helmets), mixed with more Cataphractii-y shoulders (maybe the leather pteruges replaced by chains). Likewise, I'm good with Emperor's Children primarily being in Indomitus, but I favour an overarching "Sonic Cult" aesthetic for the entire Legion. In the (allegedly) unreleased Slaanesh Terminator there's some neat details (thigh straps) and I think the helmets are good for mounting speakers. (See the fan art below.) // Of note, Forgeworld did use to make both World Eater & Death Guard conversion sets for their Cult Troops & Cult Terminators // When it comes to the rumoured three-man "swordsman" unit, I'd love to see them in Terminator Armour, but regular Power Armour would be cool too... or Cult Possessed. My desire is just... as someone who likes the notion that the Emperor's Children fell hard I don't want anything that can be mistaken for a pre-Heresy unit. And as someone who prefers the lore up to ~2016 (wherein the sonic cults came to utterly dominate the Third) I don't want "just swordsmen". Noise Marine blademasters (like Noise Champion Volupus and his Flickering Blades warband*) would be my preference. Heavily mutated sonic swordsmen, with massive combat drug dispensers and warp amps. Terminator Armour would (as Marshal Loss notes) be handy for mounting that sort of stuff, though. So I could definitely boogey with a three-man Phonics Terminator unit. Not sure about "Terminator swordsmen" though. TDA is kind of bulky in a way that doesn't (visually) lend itself to swordplay. *Google informs me that Codex: World Eaters has used the Flickering Blades as jobbers to biggup some warband called the Skull Takers of Hans Kho'ren, and Volupus' lot are now all officially dead.

Hathor42 Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 It would be neat if the EC got Tartaros but kept the move 7 the HH version gets. Speedy terminators would be fun and scary.

No worries, I’m a die hard ec fan been waiting for 7 years so I’ve been connecting dots all year haha , I theorised the ecstatic epistle was gonna be a series and that it would be a timeline to Christmas Day a after the second one so I have been addicted to all of it lol.

Yeah my thought is that cause they reveal in 3s they’ll show -Sonic blaster -Blast master -Doom siren (or maybe they’ll show a new type of sonic weapon, valrak did mention the lord having a sonic pistol) but maybe if noise marines are becoming more elite they might have a heavier option) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/13/#findComment-6080111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could throw in a Neurowhip and a 'Blaster.
