In my experience, FW resin is great. I got Qin Xa recently and it's fine.

Personally i found it hilarious that everyone is so used to Forgeworld minis being absolute crap, that everytime they see a good-looking one they automatically go "Nah that can't be Forgeworld it's gotta be plastic."


Never had that experience personally. I buy regularly enough and never had worse than some slight bending. 30 second hot water job and all's fine.

Yeah I haven't had one bad experience with them so far, but I understand that's very anecdotal and doesn't count for much.

I think part of it is the paint job and the base. Many are used to Heresy characters having a more fancy base and the paint job isn't isn't worst I've seen.

Think there are reasonable arguments for and against it being plastic. We know there’s the whole product code swap over going on with Heresy stuff, so something is happening with the product line.

Hypothetically, he could be a plastic model for a new plastic boxset, or something.

It’s been a few years since the Prospero box and that and Calth were a big success.

To me the most intriguing thing about this new mini is that, in terms of proportions, it looks more like the current Chaos Space Marines than old marines. I know there’d be a big outcry from many players if they rescaled HH to Primaris proportions, but I think starting to redo the range to match the better size and proportions of Chaos Marines would be a good thing.

Then I’ve clearly not been paying attention. I lost interest in HH as soon as Primaris came along.

OK, those are quite nice. Lots of nice detail without being over the top ridiculous or just slapped on. Hope we get this quality when Ultramarines and Iron Hands roll around, rather than what they got for their contemptor dreadnoughts

Yeah, they're really nice. Dynamic without being silly, ornate but in a way that makes sense, and includes elements that make sense to evolve into an Emperor's Champion.

And, worthy of note, notice the presence of rocks that aren't being stood upon! That's how to do a nice dynamic pose. The Terminator especially looks to have a lot of weight behind him

Oh yes, that's what I expect from HH these days, awesome minis and I may have to pick up at least one! (Might be the photos, but they feel a bit bulkier/upscaled a bit?)

Those are really nicely done. I appreciate that the Mk3 Praetor has a pose that isn't as "I'm just about to fall over" extreme as the new Primaris assault guys from Indomitus are.

I'm probably reading to much into this, but.... Its interesting that this article mentions the Praetors being "available to pre-order soon from Forge World". But with Maloghurst it just said " pre-order soon" with no mention of FW

Gotta give credit where its due, these look A+.

hOwEvEr,

Lets get some more custom Leviathans with these Praetors like they had been doing for a while. Id love to see a fist Leviathan with similar ornaments like that Tartaros Praetor.

I kind of wish they rescaled to Primaris proportions, if only because this means actual, human anatomy, not lack of half of spine. Sure, usual tiny very loud minority would whinge but they would get vastly more sales from 40K players looking to spice up their armies than they would lose with crybabies (who usually just buy from thieves anyway).

It would be even more true to fluff, multiple HH marines are stated to be huge, Custodes sized, like Primaris unlike their ugly squatty models

On a side note, I don't like these Fists. Weird poses, too busy, and why they are now copying Scars and their beaten copper decorations??

"Too busy", bro have you seen like, every single other 30k preator ever? And the poses are at least a very big improvement from leaping off a rock that 40k seems to enjoy. And the first one is a very classic shield pose too.

After spending the past month or two painting nothing but Star Wars Legion clone troopers, (they have actual human proportions) I picked up a MKVI plastic the other day and literally cringed at the scale of the damn thing. What a shame that they didn't scale up the MKIII and MKIV when they had the chance (like the new CSM, Rubric Marines, or Deathwatch veterans).

So yeah, I love the scale up these praetors seem to have, and im very much considering selling all my infantry and going the true-scale route.

Also, the hammered copper plates on the legs look awesome. Breaks up the solid yellow.

I mean, if they scaled up these Preators, then they would be out of scale with every single previous 30k Marine, wouldn't they?

Proportions on space marines have never bothered me, they're toy soldiers that inevitably you'll be looking at from 3+ feet of distance on a tabletop.

Scaling up all the 30k marines to Primaris size would suck, because that's actually a decent and noticeable size increase. I'm not rebuying 90+ marines just because the new minis are bigger. That said, a *small* increase in size, say 1-2mm, would probably not look out of scale with the current ranges.

The poses on the praetors are actually really great, nobody is standing on or leaping off of a tactical rock, and the Mk3 praetor's pose is far more believable than the assault Primaris, some of whom look like they're falling forward because the angle of the pose is so extreme. As for busy... have you seen the other Praetor models? This level of decoration is well and good for someone who's supposed to be leading a chapter.

God I wish I had the money and talent to justify buying forgeworld crap... I mean the characters at least are manageable. They are gorgeous models though.

The fists praetors look dope and gives me hope that when they get around to it my MKIII Salamanders ones will look great.

I just wanna point out that with $195 Mega-gargants, $150 greater daemons, $130 centerpiece minis, and $140 Combat Patrols... FW is not that much more expensive than regular GW anymore. A Spartan Assault Tank is less than a Mega-gargant...

His first attempt at digital sculpting and not a Primarch since 2012. Wonder if this means the Khan is done...?
