He's a 'Ooligan. He is literally there to make noise and distract the opposing team. That's why he has one of those clacker-spinner things at the end (I don't know what the real name for them is - noisemaker?), and a horn to honk.
Great concept, and quite a nice realisation of that concept.
The Pogoer is... fine. I guess I just like the original more.
Doomdiver is just the best though.
Troll suffers from the current standard of FW's paint jobs. I'm sure many'a people could make it look fantastic.
Loving the gobbos they are an instant buy for me but its a big swing and a miss yet again with the troll. Why do they always have to be holding something ?
I dont have time to model stuff as well, back to my old metal ones it is !

I think they're just called rattles? I may be wrong.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
That doesn’t really improve my opinion of it: The wings still don’t look great, especially where they join the body. On a related note, another power armoured Primarch with no backpack whatsoever, which always looks immediately wrong.
I have to ask, where would you put a back mounted power plant on a dude with giant angel wings exactly?
That silhouette does at least look like it makes the pose make more sense.

Yeah, I always felt the Primarchs shouldn't have power packs. I liked the idea that they just wore armor not power armor.

He doesn't really fly with the wings- that is impossible with such small wings at his weight, and impossible full stop with his agility (it is plausible to have a primarily gliding creature of that weight, but the agility would be awful and useless in combat). It is warp-flight, as Sanguinius is a psychic Primarch.
Ergo, it doesn't need to make biological sense, because it can't.

It's a small sculpture and makes as much sense as it needs to. People claiming otherwise are being disingenuous.

He and Curze fought each other to a standstill in Pharos, but that'd be a weird choice.

I believe that's canonically impossible now the books have reached the Siege Of Terra. Given the bases we've seen on most other Primarchs I'd guess that the silhouette is making what is in fact several regular marines scattered around the base appear to be one big guy, but we'll see in a few I guess.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Or it could be some sort of demon prince from Signus, that'd explain the size without it being a Primarch.

Makes me want to do a Victorian scallywags-themed Cawdor gang...
