Symbols of Purity
March 8, 2011 by beerogre
With Grey Knights looming large on the horizon, it's not surprising that some smaller companies have begun to produce a bit of "inspired by" add-ons that would be suitable for a force of grey-clad, armoured, sci-fi, warrior monks.
Here's some purity banners from Tabletop Art that would fit the bill. Hopefully they'll scratch your Grey Knight itch until we can get some images of something a bit more exciting.
If you check out the Tabletop Artswebsite, you'll also see some gothic sci-fi shields and other bits and bobs.
I've even seen some 54mm "sci-fi warriors" that look a bit like a certain line of Space Marines... at 54mm would they be the correct scale to act as a Primarch in an Apocalypse game?

They make quite nice alternatives to freehand work but I don’t think there are any models in the current range with banner poles, maybe the new ones will, but it seems a bit of a risk to make banners that fit best with models that don’t actually have banners…
The size of the Primarchs, (Magnus excepted, he was notably a giant next to the other Primarchs even before he became a 30 foot Daemon) wasn’t all that much bigger than a normal marine after all The lion sword is easily carried around by Cypher, the Gauntlets of Ultramar are wielded by Calgar, Ulrik is able to use Russ’ helm etc. Primarchs are at best guess, though it varies with the writer and the primarch, only a head or so taller than an average marine.
Sorry Andy, but at 54mm scale a standard SM is about 75mm tall, minimum – making them the same height as a 40k Wraithlord roughly. That’s just ludicrously massive considering it is nothing but fan exaggeration that makes people think Primarchs have to be colossal – in “real life” a Primarch would only be a foot or two taller, if that, than the average SM.
