Alan Bligh smiles and says nothing.
What do you think. It clearly is a Loyalist with its lightning bolts for the Great Crusade. He is hunting or Avenging people as per the names on his right gauntlet.
My immediate theory is, they are black because they are in mourning. We know the Emperor possibly came to some agreement with the Chaos gods to help his Primarch project. He must have tried it before he gave up and got the Chaos gods to help.
Maybe the first Primarch died / could not be awoken. He would have tested the Gene templates before he decided to start building the Legions. Maybe these are first-ed Astartes? Could this be the first image we have of Legion 0?
Black with Blue eyes is Iron Hands. But there is no other motifs that back this up. Nor is there a silver gauntlet. I would also by the same reasoning say it might not be Raven Guard as they have red eyes.
It could be the paint was stripped off the suit and it was a Iron Hand. The armour is battered and damaged so could be a Legionnaire from Isstvan. The Iron Hands lost their Primarch, but I don't think it would turn a whole host to change their iconography etc.
Drake Seta
Not in a Mk IV Maximus.
ReplyDeleteMy bet is on a loyalist from a renegade legion, like Death Guard for example.
He could still be in mk4 though. If he was legion 0. Mk4 was very common at this point. It is battered and old.
DeleteHe could be part of the shattered Legion list too. Possibly a Iron Hand after Ferrus' death
Dark Angels? Is my guess
ReplyDeleteNot a Dark Angel. Apparently something else.
DeleteHmmmm interesting
ReplyDeleteShattered Legion, no doubt in my mind. Fits the look and they've already stated they're in Conquest.
ReplyDeleteNo Legion in my opinion would shed their personal heraldry so willingly though, so I am still on the fence but reckon it could be still.
DeleteShattered Legion Destroyer Marine
ReplyDeleteDo do we know 100% that conquest will be at warhammer fest?
ReplyDeleteNext Primarch and Conquest will NOT be ready on time for Warhammer-Fest. Confirmed by Alan Bligh and Simon Egan to us.
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought we'd be getting a book every 6 months
DeleteLegio I.Dark Angels pre-Lion el'Johnson,I guest
ReplyDeleteMy money is on, Kaedes Nex, the Raven Guard destroyer
ReplyDeleteThe red stripe on the helm makes me think Dark Angles. Imperial markings not Caliban/ El Johnson/Order/ markings.
ReplyDeleteOh and those eyes look green!
ReplyDeleteIs it the knights errant aka loken etc. And isnt the eagle with lightening the emperors sigil
ReplyDeleteYep. Proves allegiance without any hesitation I guess. The Knights errant would be carrying the "I" of the Sigilite and would be equipped with Mk6 armour.
