Hi,

I'm looking for any information about Sigismund of the Imperial Fists? Preferably what Weapons and Armour he used, (I believe it was Termiantor Armour and Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield), but also any general Background Information you can provide.

Thanks for your help,

Martin

He wore Emperor's champion stuff and he had the sword that Helbritch uses.

Oh, I was wrong then.

Is there any space in the Fluff to say that he could have upgraded to Terminator Armour?

well you check Lex for Sigismund stuff. I always pictured him in ornate Power Armor. Not Terminator Armor. That was Rogal Dorn.

Okay.

I just imagined the First Company Captain would be wearing Terminator Armour.

But thanks all the same.

I did look up Lexicanum, but it didn't mention anything of his Armour or Weapons, from what I glimpsed of it...

When an HH book comes out detailing the Siege of Terra, we'll probably find out more about Sigismund.

As for what we know now, he wielded a sword that eventually became the Sword of the High Marshal, and that he was the first Emperor's Champion (although now that there are multiple ECs over several crusades, it's hard to say if any of them actually wear his armour).

EDIT: AFAIK, in the HH books that he appears in, he is wearing (at least partially) black power armour in the manner of the Black Templars, which is described as his personal heraldry.

Thanks for the details! I suppose you're right; the Seige of Terra in HH ought to feature him, so perhaps I'll just have to wait patiently for it.

Hmm, according to Lexicanum, the Sword of the High Marshals is a sword incorporating parts of Rogal Dorn's sword which he broke during a rage over the fact that he didn't manage to protect the Emperor. I seem to remember that there's some fluff about it being Sigismund's sword somewhere though.

It is kept in stasis. Sigismund's Sword is in stasis it is a relic of the Imperium now. It is basically the Sword of the High Marshals big brother.

Just saying, shouldn't a sword that incorporates the shards of Rogal Dorn's personal sword be a Relic of the Imperium too, and a more sacred item than the sword of a "mere" captain?

On a slightly seperate note was a model ever made of him from one of the primarch model makers that have appeared? I know hes slightyl less important but was curious if a model fo him was ever created by a party.

If there is, or was, I haven't found it yet.
