This guy is freaking huge!

Interesting a Catachan model I actually want.....

Now that is an ammo belt!

The new Catachan models look awesome, I hope a new and equally awesome Marbo is released aswell.

Or a new catachan sprue (unlikely given that they've just repackaged it).

Well there went my idea of making one myself

Dear god. That's such an appropriately manly model.

I don't know his fluff but I can imagine him running up a hill,firing that heavy machine gun and shouting," you,you nids !"

Anyways nice model I think,just hope it isn't too over priced(knowing GW I doubt it will be cheap though).

Hahaha!
Yes!
That model RULES!!!!!!!

Horrible red mohawk aside that model is actually pretty good.

Could just easily paint it any color you wish?

I like him. I hope he's taller than a Terminator so we can have more out-of-scale whining.

I like it. Wouldn't fit in my army at all, but I like it.

Dude is freaking ripped! Nice! He looks relentless.

Do want. I don't know how the hell a guardsman manages to be Relentless with a heavy bolter when a Spess Mehren can't, but it just screams badass.

Closer and closer to making a kill team squad based of the film Predator.

I ain't got time to bleed.

Pretty good, cept for the hawk. It really needs to go.

Then again, he would be balled and screaming, so he would require power armor. Oh noes.

Check out that lack of neck though, holy crap!

For those not wanting to go to Italy for their WD, he's also in the UK copy. I missed him during my first flick through as he's in the background!? Way to showcase a new mini GW.

BrookM wrote:Check out that lack of neck though, holy crap!

He just has huge trapezius muscles, which isn't that surprising considering he can go Relentless with a Heavy Bolter.

OMG its bragg!!!!!!!!
will buy!

Hmm, one word: steroids.

Anyway, cool model, its better than the last few GW has released.

Yep very nice mini...and I'll be covering him up with greenstuff once I get him...

Mordian version, counts as Harker.

I was going to use the HB guy from the Last Chancer's Box set for Harker at one point, but I think I can wait till this model is released.

Is that you Bragg? Oh yes, conversion incoming!

Actually, isn't that what space marines without armor would look like? Except balder.

jmurph wrote:Actually, isn't that what space marines without armor would look like? Except balder.

Those forearms are not fitting into a standard tactical suit of Space Marine Armor....lol.

6th Ed Space Marine Recruit/Special Character? Anybody?

Why do Bragg when he's

It's not often a miniature toy soldier makes me feel inadequate.

Still, cool mini, bro.

I was just planning to make my own, now I'm not gonna

I hope they don't do a new marbo though, I just bought the old one :(

My word. A decent Catachan model? Who would have seen it coming?

He'll also go nicely in a House Goliath Necromunda gang with a little modding...

Now if only the rest of the range looked as good as this guy, I wouldn't just buy him.

Anyway, what's this guy's story? I hadn't heard about him, then again I didn't pay much attention to the Guard rumours...

CT GAMER wrote:He'll also go nicely in a House Goliath Necromunda gang with a little modding...

That's exactly what I was thinking! He'd be the perfect Heavy in Necromunda. I probably wouldn't even mod him.

I think I will have to add badass Sgt Harker and some veterns to my Ultramar PDF.

Since Harker and Straken are so good looking, I may need to start an IG army.

I'm suspicious as he looks quite well-proportioned compared to other guardsmen.

Ox? I thought you were dead?

I wonder if there's ANY realtively-inexpensive way to build a Catachan army out of the heavy weapons and command sprues, avoiding the terrible basic infantry plastics altogether? Maybe even using fantasy Marauders heads/arms and Catahan armored torsos instead?

Maybe there is an opportunity for someone like West Wind to profit off the GW-substitute/enhancement market by making some basic jungle-fighter infantry that have decent proportions...

Oh come on, you know how overpriced the heavy bolter is.

I feel a presence of big manlove in this thread, a presence I have not felt since...a long time!

Speaking of manlove...

Okay, fine. Maybe I would swap out the weapon for a heavy stubber or something, but the ammo belt stays!

I'm tempted to replace part of the weapon with a spare classic terminator assault cannon.

Catachan Special Character, replaces Sergeant in a Veteran Squad. Gets Heavy Bolter (as you can see) and can move whilst firing. As for his "story", he strangled some Tyranids with his bare hands (which looking at those muscles, I can now believe).

I really, really like this model. He makes me think of the mini-boss from Metal Slug.

Allen O'Neil! All we need now is a handy Killer Whale.

I too am reminded of the old House Goliath Necromunda models, I'm sure they had a heavy bolter dude something like this, possibly that inspired this excellent new model?

He'd be great for an extra-manly HB squad - "Tripods? We don't need no tripods!" But what would be an appropriate loader? For some reason, I'm seeing a hunchback dwarf csrrying a huge ammo box on his back.

As are most of the Special Characters that GW has introduced over the years.

40K games don't represent a specific point in time. Your game can be taking place pretty much anywhere during the 10000 years between the Heresy and the 'current' time.

While the model itself is rather good I am still very disappointed if this is Sergeant Harker (which he probably is).

The upcoming Straken is everything I had hoped for (and more)
- but this Goliath-Catachan looks just like a macho heavy weapon guy, not like an officer (even considering Catachan habits).

Will buy - but probably give him a GS cap and paint a tank top.

But he's not an officer kendoka - he's a Sergeant. And like every other Catachan sergeant he has loads of muscles and is ugly.

Thanks!

Sure sounds like one hell of a beast... I think he's my favourite guard model so far, after the commisar with the powerfist and power sword from second edition.

If I see him around I might buy him, and burn candles and sacrifice kitties so that one day GW might release more catachans looking like this guy.

New Straken looked fine, this guys is ace!

Now, there it is decided, my Legion project is going to use metal models after all

I just got a Heavy Bolter for my Goliath Necromunda gang...

Ditto. The original Goliath HB was an ugly mess. This is much better.

Bah, it lacks teeth, Harker can easily kill those blue-skinned pansies and tear their machines apart with his bare hands.

According to his fluff, he also chews glass instead of tobacco and doesn't feel pain or bleed because he thinks that such concepts are for weedier men.

"I ain't got time to bleed"

He looks more like a Catachan than the current model line. He would be an excellent base for the rest of the line.

That model's a goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus!

any idea when he's supposed to be released? And I guess he'll be direct only?

I'm guessing at the very least three months after August. So November or December most likely if the GW preview scheme(tm) is to be believed.

I'm still waiting for a "Get to the Choppa!" diorama.

Here's hoping they re-do Marbo as well in the new style so we can field a souped-up three model kill-team of pure uncontrolled muscle and sweaty arms that take you into a crushing bear hug.

barlio wrote:I'm still waiting for a "Get to the Choppa!" diorama.

I think he's more like Blaine, he should have a special rule that when he dies he's replaced with a model of Mac who spends the next shoot phase firing the HB at terrain and the next two turns drinking and slowly going out of his mind and on the third turn finally snaps and has to move d12" toward whoever/whatever killed his buddy. It's compulsary at this point to start speaking the lyrics to Little Richards 'Long Tall Sally'

Sgt. Harker ain't got time to neck.

Because of the echo?

Now that's a bit more like it.

I'm just sayin', this guy's heavy bolter is as big as a house.

Now THAT is the kind of model I need in my new Catachan army =D

Just look at him next to the other weedy Catachan . . . makes you cry inside at the injustice of it all But hey maybe if they redid Catachan in the Style of Harker . . . now THAT'S the way I like it =D

I, too, look forward to a new Marbo release. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to stand there shouting and brandishing a mache-err, sword.

I would guess September, based on the preview page at the end of the August WD.

I don't care if I have a Cadian force, if anything he'd make a damn good lookin display piece. Can't wait for the local shop to get him in!

GW need to start sculpting all their minis to that type of body proportion. I dont like catachans at all, but he is o_ob

I'd turn gay for pecks like those

LunaHound wrote:GW need to start sculpting all their minis to that type of body proportion.

I hope they will as well, the whole game would be a lot cooler with a bit more "realism" and general intensity. I want to see some seriously angry Orks, and some seriously wimpy Grots (grots are cool though), not to say they couldn't have the option to be both angry and generally funny and sort of lumpy. Some work on the SM armor would be nice too.

Heck, in a Cadian army, he'd look even more bad-ass in comparison to the rest.

Remember, Luna is a girl. Girls use more varied emoticons than us men because... well... because they're girls. I don't have much more of an explanation than that.

Besides, half of her posts being unintelligible is what makes her so adorable.

Yes... this sounds like a solid plan.



Just wait until you get a bubble in your eye, it hurts like hell!

Ah! Lens flare!

I would love for Space Marines to be done to the same proportions as this Harker model . . . but you all know that if they changed the proportions and made them more realistic, there would be more plastic . . . and yes they would be more expensive . . . then you would all complain about them being even more overpriced . . . but it would be balanced out by the AWESOMENESS of the MASSIVE Space Marines . . . so maybe it would be alright =p

It says so in the IG codex. Harker's nickname is 'Stonetooth'.

Maybe to his face. Amongst the enlisted it's "No-Neck".

Nurglitch wrote:Maybe to his face. Amongst the enlisted it's "No-Neck".

He is enlisted. Sergeant Harker.

What, you never had a nickname for your Sgt. behind his back?

Mine would be "Sorry sir I didn't call you a sweaty piece of ham sir now please stop tearing me a melon-fething new one sir."

Two words: MASSIVE MUSCLES

WS 3
BS 2
Str 3
Tgh 3
Att 1
Wd 1

And a body like that?!? He should be a Marine! In fact, when he comes out, in my army....he will be

Eh, he's 4, 4, 4, 3, 1, 3, 2, 8, 5+ and can use a heavy bolter as an assault weapon? :p

BrookM wrote:I'd turn gay for pecks like those

Wait....now I'm confused. I thought Brook's female....


The model is really cool though. Now I'll probably won't make one myself for my evil guard army.
Also, is this the guy who give's his squad the über-stealth and movement skills? How does he do it? Stare at the jungle so long that is walks away and annoys the enemy?

That is most likely the BEST type of that model i've seen in ages.... waiting on a marbo model now
