Came across a link to this Kickstarter for resin model of the Emperor on FB, thought it might be of interest to some of you. -

I doubt it, it's generic enough and doesn't contain any iconography they might have a trademark claim on. After Chapterhouse this is exactly the sort of thing they're in a fairly weak position on.

Interesting...



And at €45 quite a bit cheaper then the inevitable FW/GW version too.

A cool idea, and I like the pose and sculpt. The helmet seems a bit Underwhelming to me though. For how ornate his armor is, I feel like he'd have a really crazy helmet.

I like it, and would very much like to see the bearded head. I’m not really expecting it to be unlocked though. Is this thing going to make more than €13000? I don’t think so,

That was my first thought as well.



My second: His knee-face is too excited. Would not buy.

Yeah, that's a pretty common trend, unfortunately

It's like the inverse of Space marine models, where the heads (especially helmetless ones) are so big I find they are actually more in scale with Stormcast Eternals or Custodes who are head and shoulders taller.

Giving a human figure a smaller head makes it look bigger, and vice-versa. This model's head is small, but in a way that helps make the model feel bigger. Is it too small? You do want the Emperor to feel really big after all, and 40K is inherently exaggerated, so... I guess it's a matter of taste?

That's a pretty good price point, and I like the design. I'm concerned somewhat that this is a novice project creator which might cause problems in the fulfillment stage, but 45 euros isn't an unreasonable pledge so I'd at least consider it.

Uh oh...

Eternal Eagle - Ultimate Collectors Series is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable.
If you are interested in this project, please check back later. Thanks for your patience.

likely GW decided it was a little tooo close to some of their stuff

This is my shocked face.

Hm. Kickstarter might have been a too high profile platform to do this one. There's other outfits out there who have done Primarch and Emperor-like minis, but I think none that have crowdfunded. Convincing KS to pull a campaign is probably easier than going after a standalone webstore in a case like this.
