Every time I see a swagger stick I think of the last episode of Blackadder goes Forth

" Captain Blackadder: Don't forget your stick Lieutenant

Lieutenant George: Rather, sir. Wouldn't want to face a machine gun without this. "

Those Fists are amazing....

Sevatars chainglaive is fething atrocious looking. They really screwed the pooch on that. Also why has he got a white scar on the base? I thought the Night Lords were up against the Dark Angels during the heresy?



The Imperial Fists on the other hand... They are gorgeous looking. More marines need maces that look like that.

I love Sevatar. Especially the chainglaive, funnily.

I guess that stops all the 'is it/isn't it Sigismund' - still no mention of him in the Command Set! I absolutely love the standard bearers maul.

Well, Sevetar gives you a good idea that Sigismund will look much more impressive than the Command Set guy (although he looks good) ...

Looking at Sevetar ...this is the first time I might chose to go with the bare head instead of the helmet ...

The only reason I thought it might have been Sig is because that model is basically identical to the cover of the Templar audio drama. I don't really know what Siggy will look like because that model basically is Sigismund from the art we have, they've not left themselves much room unless they go ott with decoration, which doesn't really fit the IF I don't think.

And yeah, I think Sevs bare head is the first I've really liked. I'd still go with the helm though (I think all my 30k marines are gonna have helmets).

Sevatar looks good apart from the chainglaive (which looks far too overcomplicated), looks like he has part of a Dark Angel helm decoration as a trophy on his belt???

Imperial fists look sweet, will definitely be starting a HH contingent for my IF force, once I get better with the airbrush. Although the commander pose looks slightly recycled from the GW emperors champion model.

Looks like it was the Imperial Fists legion command and not a named character after all....

Thay does kinda make sense as the Emperors Champion did originate with the Imperial Fists, and it's a cool pose.

And the DA helm trophy is a nice touch.

I don't understand why they put a blade over the chain bit instead of having a chain as the blade like....all other chain weapons.

Something like d) below but with a chain running round it...

It looks to me like the blade guides things into the chain, while also cutting itself. I like it, I think it looks cool, and it plays well with their fear tactics - it's very imposing!

Only thing that looks off to me with regards to Sev is that his gauntlets aren't crimson.

That's more of a painting issue rather then a sculpting issue though.

I like how the painter decided to tease us by painting the dead marine as one of the White Scars.

The night lords were at Terra during the final assault (at least according to the NL novels) and so were the scars. If the scenic base is painted up to match that battle, it's fine.

I was thinking it might be the Siege of Terra. Seems a bit early but it's just a base.

I can't wait to see what they actually do with the White Scars though.

I've said this a few times but I'm convinced that all the character series will interlock or fit on a big scenic base tile(s) together. Siege of Terra while some of them would be missing, mostly by way of being dead, would be a great fit.

Does anybody else think the banner on the Fists command squad looks printed (in terms of the iconography - the banner itself is definitely resin)?

It doesn't look hand painted, unless I am being unfair on the painter, but it looks way too detailed to be have been painted on.

I'm guessing maybe it was printed off and stuck on but it may also be a decal.

If it's a decal that would be awesome as hand painting SM banners is a right pain and decals for all the major Legions / Chapters for both 40K and 30K would be awesome.

The Emperor's Children decal sheet has a couple of banner designs on it, so it isn't impossible.

Ah cool, didn't realise that, will have to have a proper look at that decal sheet.

Edit: I am obviously a bit behind, never spotted the full colour banner decals on the HH Emperor's Children sheet, so yes that could very well be a Imp Fists banner decal too - that's very cool. Glad I haven't painted my Ultramarines HH command set now.

I agree the bare head looks good.

Typhon's was good too but Kharn's bare head looked bad.

I going to throw my support behind Sevatar and his Chainglaive - I dunno about functionality but it looks pretty slick. After I was a little disappointed by Curze (which is it's own bag of fish, I know), I'm glad to see Nightlord sculpts I like

Hadn't they already released the Solar Auxilia Medusa / Basilisk (as separate kits)?

Yeah, but they made it into one kit now, seeing as the main difference between the two was just the gun barrel.

Thanks - thought I was losing it for a minute

Not a bad move IMHO, the bean counters may not like it, but with a few magnets you can easily swap between the two patterns without needing to buy two variant kits.

But how do Ferrus and Vulkan play into that? Also robot girlyman and lion el don't show up till the party is all done.

It could also just end up being a display thing- not necessarily the Siege of Terra, but a nice way to display them all together.

Evil-doers on one side, Good-guys on the other.

Seems way to overdesigned, and with that many bases together, it seems like things would be really cluttered/lose the effect of each display plinth.
