Received my FW order over the weekend and got stuck into building a new version of the Primarch to lead my Ultramarines into battle:



A scale shot of the built and primed model:

Last night I began painting; starting with the face. With that tentatively complete (Not entirely happy with the face, so I might play about a bit more with it; but thought half-past ten at night is no time to be making those sort of decisions. Better to sleep on it than jump in!), I then blobbed on a base coat of blue to the armour last night. The armour will be broken up with gold and white areas, but I wanted to get some colour on to it so I can start to work out which bits to have as secondary and accent areas.






If you're interested in how the face was done, there's some info on Death of a Rubricist.

I'd love to hear what you think.

What trickery is this?
The FW hasn't released Guilliman model yet!
What company made that model?
Maximum confusion level imminent!

Oops!
Apologies for any confusion. This is a conversion based on Vulkan and Ferrus Manus:

There's a complete list of bits on Death of a Rubricist (yesterday's blog post). You'll have to ignore the WIP shoulder pads; I decided to play around with some bits I hadbefore I ended up going with the ones from PP's Warmachine line.

Cheers! In terms of height, he stands the same as the other FW Primarchs he's based on.
This image shows him on more of an even footing with a marine, as the lack of plastic base balances out the height the scenic base gives him.


I was working on the face last night – hoping to work some more on him later in the week, time permitting.
