Hi guys,

couldnt see this anywhere else. Just got an email from FW about them being in Baltimore, and this pic was in it.

Any ideas?

:scratchhead:

 

[Stella Cadente]

Lightning symbols and a mass of cables behind the head and something else is behind that head, something with a curve.........perhaps a Librarian?

 

[GrizBe]

Probably the 'Tempest' armour continuing their current run of 'classic' armours.

 

[Tawa]

"Tempest".....?

Not heard of that one before. :scratchhead:

 

[Doelago]

Lightning symbols and a mass of cables behind the head and something else is behind that head, something with a curve.........perhaps a Librarian?

WTF? Stella did... Did not complain?

Nice helmet btw...:victory:

 

[Tawa]

Meant to add this too.....

 

[Doelago]

Another nice pic, thanks for posting them both, have some rep!

 

[Tawa]

Ta :biggrin:

That second one kinda looks like a GK/MkIII helmet to me. Not sure about the shoulder guard though.... :scratchhead:

 

[Vaz]

Red Scorpions Librarian for IA9?

Second one is either Pre Heresy Death Guard, or more likely considering the Crusader Mark of Helmet and Imperial Eagle Iconography, Novamarines.

I have no idea what that picture could be, but it looks good.

 

[GrizBe]

I meant the Mk 1 'Thunder' Armour. Not tempest.... lol

 

[Vaz]

I'd like the bolter. But that's about it.

 

[Tawa]

I meant the Mk 1 'Thunder' Armour. Not tempest.... lol

Aah! I thought that may have been what you meant, but didn't want to say anything and look like a complete goober if there was something I'd missed fluff-wise

Wasn't MkI open-faced though...?

 

[tu_shan82]

Perhaps the two pictures are FW's take on artificer armor?

 

[GrizBe]

Wasn't MkI open-faced though...?

Officially it was, but going by Forge Worlds slightly different take on the others too, a faceplated design wouldn't be stretching things too much.


And they could be a take on Arty armour, the second one post here certainly looks like it...

 

[Tawa]

If it is a FW interpretation of MkI armour, I like it. Beats the hell out of a pair of sunglasses..... :grin:


And as for it being artificer armour, good call, hadn't thought of that!

 

[turel2]

Thunder armour would make sense.

 

[Vaz]

Why would it be thunder armour with the exact same helmet as MkIV?

And the second one is the Black Templars Crusader Helmet.

I cannot see Forge World, who go to great lengths to produce models which fit the background and scale for 40K would go and fuck up something as big as granting Thunder Armour Mk1 Pattern Power Armour the go ahead to look exactly like Mark IV and Mark VII Crusader variant Armour.

Neither would the Thunder Armour have the Imperial Eagle on it, as that symbol was not used until after the Heresy (other than for the Emperors Children). Even the Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV and Mark V follow that pattern - they don't have the Twin Headed Eagle on the chest plate.

No offence guys, but fuck me. That was painful to write.

 

[Tawa]

The Emperor's emblem was a lightning bolt..... No idea how I let that slip by me :headbutt:

 

[yanlou]

i reckon, its a librarian in MK IV maybe a librarian character
