Oh sorry! I thought you meant they should've been 25s.

I don't think any model bigger than the Reaver Titan would be profitable to produce, they would also cost so much they would barley sell any, plus it would be too large to practically use in any game of 30k or 40k, you'd need like a 8"x4" board to play on

Do not underestimate the desire that players have for large resin 40K models. GW underestimated that desire when it gave resin model licenses to Mike Biasi Studios and Armorcast. Armorcast sold 30,000 40K resin kits in three years, only in North America, so GW no longer had any doubt about the market for larger resin models. Hence the birth of Forge World a couple of years later.
Warlords will sell...

I reckon he looks on course to be the best-looking Primarch yet. His face is amazing.

Agreed, he looks fantastic. Almost spot on to what I imagined.

Most handsome? Probably. It's not like the traitor primarchs have much going for them in the male fashion model department. I do expect Sanguinius to be the best male fashion model of the bunch though when he comes out.

Yes! Sanguinius will probably beat them all in that department.

He is handsome, in a plain way. He is handsome the way a regent on an old coin is handsome, like a good sword is handsome. He is not handsome like a ritual weapon, the way Fulgrim is. He is not angelic, like Sanguinius. There is a dutiful line to his jaw, like his good brother Dorn. They share a nobility. There is the great strength of Ferrus and the vitality of Mortarion. There is, sometimes, the rogue glint of the Khan in his eyes, or the solemnity of the Lion. In the architecture of his nose and brow there is, many claim, the energy and triumph of Horus Lupercal. There is none of the bitterness that shadows Corax, or the persecuted despair that haunts poor Konrad. There is never any of the deliberate mystery that obscures Alpharius or Magnus and he is more open than that buried soul Vulkan... He never displays the pitch of fury found in Angron, nor do his eyes ever ignite with the psychotic gleam of Russ...

He looks like a statue, which does fit in nicely with the mental image I had of him.

I'd imagine the fact he's essentially grey in all the pics helps..

Zing!

But nah, it's the pose, the neutral look on his face, plus the way they describe him in the fluff, as a humourless god.

Darth Bob and Roboute sitting in a tree.

K. I. S. S. I. N. G.

As a 40k UM player, my willingness to dip a toe in the FW 30k was going to be dependant on the Guilliman model.

Guess I'd better tell the Long Haired Admiral that she's not getting a foreign holiday this year.

Darth Bobs comment was a quote, I believe from KNF?

Can't be, there's no mention of having big BALLS of adamanium.

Grand-daddy Smurf seems to be modelled on Caesar, going by the face; seems quite similar to this:



Makes a certain amount of sense, given the oft-overt Roman theme the Ultramarines have had going on. His armour also seems quite similar in style to that of Roman officers.

Don't say that to Jes, he'll smack you on the head and state that the Ultras have a classical look, not Roman.

A few pages back there was a Gal Vorbak with wings; does that look like just a cool conversion or possible Argal Tal? It looked like he may be on a scenic base.

I don't think he has rules yet, and it wouldn't make sense for him to be in Book 5 since he's not at Calth.

Dude... that is some serious primarch bromance!

Just a conversion. The body of the one with wings is identical to one of the five Gal Vorbak. I hope we get Argal Tal in book 6.

According to Alan Bligh today, Argal Tal will be in the 2nd Calth book, which I think is slated to be book 6 before Christmas.

This is correct. Couldn't resist!

Yeah, book 6 then, awesome! I'm glad, he's my favourite character.

I thought so, always liked that quote

Still not even a hint of any Thousand Sons stuff makes me quite sad. All those models are gorgeous though, Guilliman is looking mighty fine!

Ah not just me who thought they looked alike then!

Well, Prospero is book 7, so that's kinda a hint. We should see some of them and the Star Puppies this time next year!

Don't forget the Sisters of Silence and the Custodes!

Oh, just remembered, the Sokar pattern Storm bird is the smallest pattern of Storm bird, so says Alan Bligh.

Interesting, probably making it the inspiration for the Thunderhawk then.

Hopefully we can look forward to a more unique looking Stormbird in the future then. The Thunderhawk on steroids really isn't how I imagined it...

I suppose that if we're getting rules and a model for that Samus thing, then there's a good change that Ka'bandha will get rules eventually. That should be cool.

Probably with the Blood Angels in whatever book they first appear in.

GW/FW are making airbrush paints apparantly. The colours are approved, no names yet.

That's interesting. I wonder if that means they'll make the move to dropper bottles instead of the horrible paint pots they use now.

I hope not. I like the current pots and hate dropper bottles.
