Does anyone know what pattern of bolter is shown in this picture? Its in the top middle. It seems to show up in all the HH cover art, and it kind of reminds me of the old RT bolters.

They look like Umbra pattern bolters to me.

That's what I thought I thought initially too, but it seems more boxy and has that indent on the top, which the umbra doesn't seem to have.

Hard to tell. Remember that some artists take artistic license with their interpretations of different weapons.

It looks rather like the Phobos pattern, but the clip is certainly longer.

Hmm, on a second glance they might be Phobos pattern.

the forge world bolter sets are on the third page of this list.

Ok, thanks. I'll be modelling most of my HH troops with Phobos patterns then. Here's another picture, unfortunately I haven't bought the 1900x1080 wallpapers for bigger pics. It's in the EC's hand.

I like the skull with the open mouth on the purple dude's bolter.
