So the limited edition model has been announced and is up for pre-order, and I'm curious to know what people think of him. Personally I like him BUT he's finecast. Really worried that if I buy him he'll look like Swiss cheese and I'll have no chance of returning a limited edition.

Personally, I think he's simply 'meh'.
Kantor is a thousand times better looking and is still metal.

It's a model that looked better in the blurry phone camera shots we got.
When I saw clear pictures, I wasn't very wowed by it. Particularly because the nostolgia comes from how awesome he looked with that wrist mounted gun. Giving him a standard plasma pistol totally ruined the nostalgia factor for me.
Agreed totally with CthuluIsSpy, the GamesDay model this year is far better.

Close enough?! Why do we not get a Roboute Guilliman model for the 25th anniversery!!!! 
The games day model is better though. The artwork it comes from is awesome.

IIRC the games day model comes from this image:

It's based off the cover for the first edition of 40k, you know, the whole thing this "25th anniversary" shindig is for. So yeah, that makes a lot more sense for a model than Horus, who didn't even exist back then, or the Emperor who was pretty much only seen as a corpse in a tube in the artwork.

I can't help but like the thing. £20 is the same as a Vostroyan Command Squad though.

It's a shame it only half matches the original art work because they've modernised it with a generic plasma pistol, etc.

Am I the only one who prefers this to the Games Day model? This guy almost makes me want to pack in my Ultramarines and start Crimson Fists, it's a simply amazing model, and I for one am getting my hands on it.
On a side note, can anyone else see a theme staring us in the ace of making models from old artwork? I can see some interesting models coming out very soon, because let's face it, they never let a good idea die, even if we beg them to.
