Only missing the arms and legs in plastic. I think the FW MkIV arms work. Maybe some GK ones? Not sure what to do about the feet though.

The existing plastic really doesn't do justice to the Goodwin sketch though and that sketch brought to mini form is what is going to finally make me collect a marine army...

Yea. I can live with existing arms but that backpack and feet would be sweet.

The 'minifists', phat belt, rounded helm, double plated feet, cowled backpack, the entire thing. I love this version of the armour and if they do this picture credit, I will make a marine army after years of refusing.

I love that design but I really dislike the helmet. I think the Grey Knight esque helms might look better. Either than or a standard marine helm.

The more 'up to date' MKVIII suit keeps all of the good (all the stuff MGS listed) and improves the not so good (the helmet).

No fear, I don't want my ultramodern Mentor Legion to end up with bloody black templar/grey knight feudal face-gear, I want minimum skulls, banners, flying babies and bloody ancient knight armour. No sir. A more rounded and modern looking version of the regular mk7 is what I'm wanting.

They had the lodge priest.

I believe that was not HH weekender only.

You did say this...

So is there no HH event only model?

to which I replied

so, yeah, you sort of did say that,

I was asking was there no event only model from the HH time period, not if there was no HH weekender event only model.

Oh, in which case then, I guess not, but FW are prone to dropping new models all over the place so there is still hope.

I still want the (totally non-canon) Dornian Heresy Ultramarine armour.

You could probably kitbash that with the new Anvil minis from Afterlife.

The question, in the words of Arch-Magos Daeneris Targarien of Forge World Essos, is WHERE ARE MY MYRMIDONS

Right here!



Sorry - couldn't help myself!

Alpharius, the most off topic mod ever.

I'm wondering if there is a way for one of the "Bits" miniature producers to be able to produce a proper MK8 model based off that sketch legally.

Maybe leave off the Imperial Eagle? How many minor changes would need to be made to make it viable?

Still, that is one of my favorite pics of a SM.

Is that official GW artwork? I thought I had seen something similar sculpted a while back, but it wasn't an official GW model. Anyone know what model I am referring to? I can't find a picture of it.

I'd love some Mk. 8 armour, given I have a burgeoning Minotaurs army. I bought the bare minimum plastic tacticals, as they're objectively a good kit, but if FW were to give me proper Mk. 8 marines, I'd totally do a full Battle Company, and repaint the models I have to be my Sternguard.

Nope it was created for the hobbyist-developed Dornian Heresy over on Bolter & Chainsword (Dorn and the 40k loyalists rather than Horus et al turn).

Yeah, I did say "totally non-canon" after all.

Unf, that armor is brilliant. Reminds me of ukitakumuki's "Phobos Pattern" armor.

How does that MkVIII power armor let the wearer do anything with his wrists (like hold a bolter with both hands), if both hands look like that? There's no wrist rotation.

You just don't understand mystical space physics.

If anyone's interested TemplarsCrusade01 put up an un-boxing of Kharn yesterday, still not a fan of the model but it's not as bad looking as the pics on FW.

This is pretty close.

Meh, not as nice as the FW Myrmidons.

I wonder if they're gonna release an Achilles-type Myrmidon Lord special character to lead them. Now that would be badass.

Of course, I already plan to run them as the Eight from Farsight Enclave, so I guess that's as close as we'll get for now.

This is the image of mk. 8 armour that I dream about:




Someone actually made it, too:



http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7166732/1/


If FW made this I'd sell all my unbuilt mk. 7 in a heartbeat.

Same here, brother, same here!



And there's some debate about how "MK8" that suit of armor really is - it initally showed up in the IA article for the IF and was labeled as "Crusade Armor".

It has a few different looking quirks in it...

Also:



Might be a more 'modern' or 'up to date' version...

When they make a MkVIII kit I'll start a loyalists force, holding off until then, both of those images are just gorgeous.

Seriously FW just make them already get off your duffs lol!

Definitely in those Imperial Fist styles too, lots of panelling, no gothic or very little... all they are missing are the ankle joints.

It would be nice if the originator of the Dornian Heresy armors would hook with a nice resin caster.
