What defining characteristics did their armour have?

Thanks but i was wondering if their armour had any particular accessories or designs? for example if forge world did a Luna Wolves upgrade kit, what do you think it would look like?


Ahh, well, everything I've personally seen they were kinda no frills prior to the change.

Justarian terminators didn't change. But everyone else seemed to just have the basic white armor and emblem so I would imagine you'd see similar upgrade kits, shoulder pads with the Luna Wolves emblem emblazoned on them.

Maybe Fancy stuff for dedicated units, but I wouldn't expect anything too over the top.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676489/8388471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676489/8388471.page GMT Re:Luna Wolves defining aesthetic characteristics? IMO they look great

If you look at the cover for the book False Gods, you can see the Luna Wolves on it have original helmets, that are not present anywhere else nor are known as part for any power armor version. Even though it's probably just an artist's choice, you could try to convert it, and IMO they look great

Funny enough those helmets look close to the white scar upgrade helms FW put our recently without all the top knot fun.

They aren't identical but rather close.

If your building for the Heresy you should be overwhelmingly Mark IV, as Horus made sure he (and the other Traitor Legions) got early refits to the best armor available.

If you're talking aesthetic preferences among the Legion, they don't seem to go in for any particular style. Luna Wolves seemed to be pragmatic and flexible, not overly given to unnecessary ornamentation (Blood Angels, Emperor's Children) or a particular cultural look(Ultramarines, Thousand Sons). I'd keep things practical, simple and clean, stripped down for action, rather like the Iron Warriors or the Iron Hands.

You might model heavy and assault weapon models with some extra ammo or energy cells, and your veteran as might carry some extra close combat weapons or backup pistols, much as 21st century veteran troops tend to do.

My two cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676489/8394198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676489/8394198.page GMT Luna Wolves defining aesthetic characteristics? IIRC in Horus Rising the only defining thing was the fact they had MkIV armour: when they find a MkIII eye piece on Murder they know it can't be a Luna Wolf (of that force at least) because they only had MkIV.

The helmet on the cover of False Gods is somewhat cool, but given that the marines are wearing Mk7 armour with a Mk5/8 hybrid breastplate I wouldn't put a great deal of faith in it as an accurate depiction.
