The Armour shown in 16 looks really ornate, didn't really see Iron Warriors as having such crafted armour given their seige rolls but we shall see, today looks as though we will see an actual marine so we may know one of the Legions today :D

He has a lady painted on his shield....weird. That is almost un Space Marine.

And is that a power fist or thunder hammer smashing the guy on the right?

For you that like Dark Eldar aswell as Space Marines.

Chronus in a Land Raider just screams "SHOOT ME!", and it's stupid hard to kill. Chronus in a super hard to kill Land Raider with a huge cannon on the front is like stabbing your opponent in the eye with psychological warfare. It's like they pretty much CAN'T ignore it.

That is a weird drawing on the sheild, wonder what it is supposed to represent.

It could be a powerfist, lightning claw, or thunder hammer by the look of it, it does have a electric discharge so it is a power weapon of some sort. Looking carefully you can see whoever the Fist is wailing on also has a storm sheild...defo think they are against Iron Warriors now.

Definately Iron Warriors. If you look at day 2 you can see warning stripes on the vambrace.

EDIT: In days 14 and 15 we have warning stripes too.

I'm thinking the picture is a boarding action by Imperial Fists on an Iron Warriors vessel, during the Battle of Phall. That's right, you can now call me Captain (Sherlock) Obvious. ^_^

Looks like Mk 2 Helmet, but the rest is obscure by the bording shield.

And it looks like a power fist smashing the snot out of a guy on the right, but the wielder of the fist is out of shot of the picture.

mkII or mkIII, probably mkIII as that would be more appropriate for a boarding action. Other marine likely has a power fist as he has a boarding shield in the other hand and he seems to be punching through the back of some Iron Warrior.
Woman on shield? Weird, seems out of place at this time given that there were no saints or other religious figures officially recognized at this point unless it's the very early stages of the Imperial Cult being accepted.

The artwork on the shield is very Roman - on a very loose connection it might have a link to the Imperial Fists earliest battle victory "Roma".

He has a lady painted on his shield....weird. That is almost un Space Marine.

Is that a woman, or just a thin man with his hair tied up? The head looks quite male in its features, but it's hard to make out any detail below the neck, which is generally a firm indicator of gender.

Even if it was a woman, it's hardly odd. After all, it could be a hero of the Sisters of Silence, or some great founder of the arts. Saints don't exist yet though, so that's ruled out. It's likely a servant would have decorated the armour/shield, and said servant could have drawn inspiration from any place.

In fact, I'm more worried about the fact that the Imperial Fist has a Tzeetch rune on his helm than the woman. ^_^

No way is that renaissance, the quality of the human form is too crude.

Ah, well, you know. In the 31st Millennium it's probably called 'raninsanse' art and is about trying to draw as badly as possible.

The painting of the praying woman looks mediaeval. She appears to be wearing a dress that is parti-coloured. Half the dress is one colour, half another.

Well dec 1 looks like a UM shoulder.


Well I was wrong on that one.

It,s not its the legion icon with wings. It,s repeated on the shield as a bigger icon.

Yeah, I've been playing 40K long enough to properly identify demonic runes. That's why I added the ';)'.
