FW MKVIII Errant Armor, do you want it??? (POLL ADDED, please vote if you already typed a reply) @ 2012/04/01 20:50:49


Post by: MajorTom11


Recent comments by FW at Open Day seem to indicate they feel there isn't much interest in Errant Armor and based on that they wouldn't be doing it. Part of the reasoning was that it was too close to the plastic MKVII tac kits to be worth doing.

I don't know about you guys but I LOVE Errant armor and have been eagerly waiting for them to do it... The high collar, the bracers and greaves, the helmet and the overall futuristic not-gothic look really appeal to me. And I certainly know I would be in line to pick some up if they released them... If the reason is they are too close to MKVII, then go ahead and spruce up the design I say! Additionally, they did MKVI Corvus kits even though you could build them in plastic...

Now Dakka, what is your take? If we do indeed have interest for MKVIII, best to let them know!

Whatever your opinion, please vote in the poll, let's get some tangible numbers going here!

A little reminder of what we are talking about too -

The difference between the Errant and Corvus patterns in the plastic kits is people scrambled to get beakie heads. There was always someone who wanted to buy your spare beakies because he was working on an all beakie army or something. I barely see people use the errant torso you get in some boxes, let alone an almost black market trade of them like beakies.

That said, I do think FW should do the kit for completeness sake. Some people obviously do like Errant armour, and having readily accessible complete models of all of the different patterns of armour is only a good thing.

YES, I want MKVIII

I don't think it's different enough to justify them making a new kit for it. I wish they would stop making kits with subtle differences and do something more drastic.
That being said, MKVIII is very neat and cool, but not cool enough for them to justify making it over something else.


No, not interested in MKVIII

If FW could a) make them look like that example Imperial Fist and b) fix the problem with the plastic torso (of which I tracked down 18 to build my two Sternguard units) whereby most helmeted heads don't fit comfortably unless their chin is raised above the collar.


Yes I want MKVIII !!!

I'd be happy if they'd never done the earlier marks and only produced MKVIII. Actually I'd prefer a range of plastic MKVIII but there you go...

Do people actually want MKVI / beakies that much? I can't stand them and try to avoid using them in my armies- normally throw away most of my beaky helmets.

Like I said in the FW thread. If they want to make it more unique maybe make it a tad more angular in places.

I'd like to see it as is though. Hopefully keeping the the trend of 'no purity seals' as well!

Provided that FW followed the original sketch, the one with PF gauntlets and differently shaped greaves along with the backpacks.

That being said, the GK box contains not only all errant armour chest pieces, it also has a more futuristic backpack...

The only thing I don't like MKVIII armour is the fact that I can't use beakie helmets on it..... but if FW makes the models look like that IF pic I will gladly sell my firstborn kid and give FW one of my kidneys in exchange for them....or maybe just money.


So in short IF pic Mk VIII 'Shut up and take my money' If they look like the old metal models, no thanks.

Uh, ok, if they did mk1 suits firs THEN would you want mk8? Btw, they released several marks at once when they did the others, there there really isn't a need for an either/or mentality. I also would want mk1 for the record, but they seem to be steering thunder warriors away from marines in the newest fluff... Not sure how it would work rules wise as a thunder warrior can now take on 5 current marines at once..,

Ya, in a recent HH book, Outcasts I think? Basically, the Emperor needed hyper-murder machines to win the Unification Wars, and the Thunder Warriors were actually quite different than Astartes, uber-powerful but also explicitly designed to genetically burn out in a few short years. Something about them being too unruly and singularly powerful to continue into the Crusade. In other words, he created the Astartes to be soldiers, the Thunderwarriors to be killers. Power-wise, they sit somewhere between an Astartes and a Primarch...

Cherry on top, the Emperor had the Custodes kill them after the wars were won to make sure they didn't slip the chain.

To find out the rest, read th ebook, it wasn't bad!

Back OT, we have a convert, put Johnny in Yellow!

I have fought tooth and nail on eBay to gather just 3 of the old metal MkVIII models for my army (sorry to any dakkaites I may have sniped). It broke my heart when a lot of about 20 of them went for under $20 in a uk only auction.

I can say without hesitation: YES, I want MKVIII. Especially if they stuck closely to Jes Goodwin's concept art.

I would love to see FW or BL do a Pre-Unification line. Never going to happen but it would be cool still. Umm one thing Tom, both of the Thunder Warriors where like the top dogs so yeah they where uber good. Still doesn't excuse Mr. McNeil's poor writing, but that is way OT even for me.

Mk VIII (like the Imperial Fist pic) for the win

There's definitely an anti-anything Marine sentiment to what FW decides to put out, so that may be some of it.

Still, FW likes selling lots of their items, I'm sure.

And I'm sure Marine stuff sells lots, so...

MKVIII for the win!

Everyone may not like it, but lots and lots of people will buy lots of them!

Gif meee mk VIII!!!!

I would definatly by some for my DA force! I have a mix of all the marks to give the feel of a chapter that has been around for a long time and that every single suit of armour is sacred. I mix them up for a feel of each marine having been given what was avalable at the time. More choices is always good.

Lets have some diffrent types of TDA as well, and some more wepon styles!

I like errant except for one thing: corvus helmets don't work with them. This is OK in and of itself, but the video games are now snubbing off the beaky nose to make it fit inside the errant collar. The snub nosed beaky looks like crap, ruining my favorite helmet. I haven't bought any FW stuff yet anyway, but I'm still all for as much variety as possible. Go FW Errant armor!

MKVI helmets are really not intended for use with MKVIII suits - I think that's even listed as one of the 'drawbacks' to the MKVIII armor!

It's an old figure but I still like it, even if it doesn't lend itself particularly readily to action poses because of the more rigid articulation of the suit.

That is exactly what happened, the Ultramarines conquered the Tau, and as they were not beholden to Imperial tech restrictions, they innovated and incorporated alien tech.


Actually, the Tau are still their own thing in the Dornian Heresy storyline, but them and the Ultramarines got along far better AFAIK.

I feel this is kind of limited.

I want to see the new Errant Armor because it is new. I want to see the storyline moving foward and have Space Marines start to upgrade their armor actually represents that.

Do I want Forgeworld to go out of it's way and start making kits for it? No not really, I just want to see a few of them in Tactical Marine boxes

FW's entire business model is all about "going out of their way" - they essentially work on whatever it is that they feel like, for the most part.

Or so we've been told.

And if the Minotaurs are now FW's new Red Scorpions, we might very well see some MKVIII suits of armor after all!

The more and more simple they look the more and more they will be like Gundoms, or other pre painted plastic models that you might buy from Japan.

It's not only the torso that defines MK VIII though, the gauntlets, shins, kneepads, waist and backpacks are all different. A full set of MK VIII armour is as aesthetically different from MK VII as MK IV, and even more so than MK VI, yet Forge World still felt there was sufficient demand to create them.

Actually the helmet, bracers, and greaves of the Mark VIII differ from those of the Mk VII. If you go by the concept art the power pack does a s well.

It would also fit with certain Chapters neatly. Namely:-

Minotaurs (because the High Lord Sponsoring them or what not)
Iron Hands, Praetors of Orpheus (Due to close ties with AD MECH)
Deathwatch & Grey Knights (Due to the Inquisitors having the power to requisition whatever they want).

Mk VIII would be probably sell pretty well for conversions and pet projects of Home-Brew Chapters who want the extra pieces to give more flavour to their Forces.

Also Dorian Heresy Armour would be bloody epic...But I put the picture of that armour up a few pages ago.

Forgeworld marines always look great, so I'm sure the errant armour would look top notch as well.

It is amazing how giving marines straighter legs can make them look more properly proportioned as opposed to the almost squatting GW marines.

No objection from me. Don't play SM, but I can't imagine it would be a very difficult sculpt, so it shouldn't take too much time away from other things and if it makes people happy to own them then go ahead.

I do agree it looks awesome, but the only part I don't like about it is that it enforces a "aim for the groin" policy since the hip joints are the last "weak spot" left on the armor (I don't think my Tau will appreciate that particular order, although for some armies out there it might be a welcome change...). The obvious solution is to add a power armored kilt to complete the uniform. Whose up for requesting the MK IX "Highlander"?

We could have it give a 2+ save with no invulnerable (or 3+/5++, which would probably be infinitely more useful come to think of it), representing a "halfway" between power armor and terminator armor. Give it a special rule called "there can only be one" which allows you to chose any one squad in your army and replace all other power armor with the MK IX for some amount of points per model.

I think Mk IX Armour would be "Taurus Armour" mainly because it looks like the MINOTAURS in 40k are the most "Fapped Over chapter by the High Lords" .

So it would make sense they tested it and therefore named it. Much like the RAVEN GUARD and Mk VI Corvus.

No. Simply because I think FW is spending way too much time on 30K as it is and that armor isn't very impressive anyway. But, since they saw fit to waste so much of their effort on making a contemptor for every legion I am surprised they were able to find the restraint to say no to this. Maybe there is hope after all.

But maybe you just meant spending too much time on Marine stuff?

I'm still surprised and happy to see that the 'YES' votes here are the overwhelming majority.

Maybe we'll see some Errant Armor when FW gets around to making more Minotaur stuff?

I just hope it is 'generic' enough to use for other Legions/Chapters without too much cutting, shaving, sanding, etc.

I'd be interested if MK VIII was in plastic.

Otherwise no.

1) Anubis is my favorite Egyptian deity (yes, I have a favorite Egyptian deity).

2) MKVIII is my favorite mark of Marine Power Armor.

As a separate kit than a Deathwatch one? Yes, but only in plastic.

Forget old marines, the future is primaris. Mk8 is history. It’s all mk10 now.

Bore off. This is a poll about wanting mk8 armour from FW. Not a place for primaris propaganda.

There are lots of us who still want regular marine stuff, not chunky ugly primaris.

No, primaris all the way. Be happy if nothing new was released for old marines. I’d like to see forgeworld start making some primaris upgrades kits.

But this is a poll about FW mk8 errant armour son, your ugly primaris are irrelevant.

You are going to be unhappy in the future because FW are still turning out a nice amount of old marines and its likely there will be a series 3 of the space marine heroes at least from the studio

None of the above. Yes I want Mk VIII, but I want it in GW plastic.

With the Rise of the Primaris marines and MKX armor, I'm afraid that IF we ever see MKVIII, it will be via FW and not GW proper via plastic.

Are the Deathwatch minis not wearing Mk VIII? Inquisitorial trappings, but I thought that's what it was.

When I think of the original MKVIII, i immediately think of Grey Knights. Therefore to me it should fall under the umbrella of Artificer Armor. I think that adoption of Mk8 into the general chapters (even if only for squad leaders) makes it more commonplace, therefore diminishes the distinctive armor style away from the GK. The new Primaris armor except for the helmet reminds me of a Breacher version of Mk8. But Primaris armor also rips off attributes from GK terminator armor as you can see with the P-Aggressors. Which again diminishes the Grey Knights. Next thing you will be seeing is the Primaris using nemesis weapons. Then that would make the GKs totally superfluous.

I just use Deathwatch kits to make MKVIII sets, which I use for the Forlorn Hope's entry teams.

I'm torn, on the one hand, the Mark VIII Errant armor is my favourite SM armour, (followed closely by the Corvus armour). However, FW is really expensive and I probably wouldn't buy it. If it came out in plastic from GW, hell yeah I'd get a box or two, but it'd be a bit too pricy for me to justify when I have so many marines already. Maybe I'd get one kit.
