Cool, but seems like more of a conversion (as it is) than a high-end FW kit like the Tyrant or Loth. If they don't make Carchadon transfers, I doubt there will be many of these guys on the table.

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. I think I'll laugh.

I like how they gave a really cool fluff explanation to explain the name issue for the Space Sharks, and actually made them even cooler in the process.

Hmmmm, i dont think i like this very much. Its very uninspiring, looks bland/dull and i dont think the chain light claw fists have been made as well as they could have been? It may just be the fw paintjob as they are always average, which is cool, not bashing lol. I just think when you look at the thought and extra detail they put into some of thier termi/marine stuff ( hurons weapons spring to mind ) i think they could have done alot better job without overstating the mini?. Having said that ill probably still buy one lmao

That space shark termie is the business! Damnit, now I want one.

Looks like I've found the arms for my Lightning Claw version of my Culln to Belial conversion replication.

Also, there's something inherently predatory about that helmet from certain angles...

Yeah, that's why I'm a little split on it. I get that he's supposed to be a lean-mean-killing-sharkthing, but I want the model to stand out a little on the battlefield. But you're right, a cape is probably a little too far. Maybe an Emperor's Champion-style tabard, all ripped up and battle worn.

How about a big ass fin on the helmet?

If it was a GW model, it would have gone that route + a cape made of baby sharks and shark skulls instead of Human skulls, and his name would be Selachimorpha Shark Jaws

Shark jaws, not skulls.

In 40k, everything leaves skulls after death. Otherwise, grimdark future would be facing a dire shortage of skulls to put everywhere.

I guess pre-Heresy genetic tampering with sharks could provide us with such a scenario.

Cartilage just doesn't mount spikes and lasers as well as bone does.

Makes one wonder if there's a STC for skulls...

It seems to be working overtime...

Not really impressed with this, especially compared to FW's recent marine offerings, I think the 'Pimp My Emperors Finest' above said it all.

For a commander he is not very ornate... i've seen Space Wolf scouts with more adornment.

FTL

Pretty cheap considering he is only about 25$ for a canadian citizen...Blitza likes that!

Something seems to be missing on the model. I don't quite know what it is, but it's there. He definitely needs more adornment, but I couldn't tell you what that may be. A Black Ram may have hit on something with the shark jaws...

No!

I want them to do the SoM Chapter master. That would be a insta-purchase for me @ this point.

Dude! You just fething made my day



On concern with the "Doesn't look inspiring enough" conversation, alls he needs is a shoehorned iron halo (showy and providing benefits) and that'll be it

I think the intent is to not be showy. I still prefer showy and ornate, but I get the vibe.

That's probably my lesat favorite FW model ever. At least the worst Space Marine FW model. Just full of bleh.

I want that helmet. I WANT 5 OF THEM!

The head design is awesome and I'd instantly buy those for Termi heads. Probably you could just make a press mould out of the MK 5 marine helmets from Forgeworld (I own two and they rules) but I need mine for TS helmet variety... And maybe the second for a loyalist army one day.

Moar cowbell?

More seriously, a tabbard made of ripped netting would be good if you could pull it off. Maybe some of the shardnets (or whatever they're called) from the DE line, cut up?

I think it is missing some Space Shark... ahem... Carcharodon specific iconogrphy to make it look more like a Special Character as opposed to an unusual termie trooper (armor is an awesome variant, but doesnt say much beyond that) with mental gauntlets.

I agree with the Sentiments expressed all ready. It's a freakin' great model and looks awesome, but I can't help but feel there's something missing. Maybe even a better base would've done it, I dunno.

It still looks great, but could look so much better.

Carcharodon sounds like a guy just thought to throw a bunch of letters together and call it a chapter. Ugh Horrible.
Model is good though, apparent from it needs more sharkyness.

Asherian Command, you have always been one of my favorite people, but today I sadly must inform you that Carcharodon is in fact a real word, being the name of the 20 meter long extinct prehistoric shark. If you don't like the name, take it up with the scientists.

What do his legs remind me of... Ah yes!
