An alpha legionary without a ridiculous hat? Much better!

Armillus Dynat...

I like those scales!

It's a great example of fitting into a Legion, without overdoing it.

Gotta say this is probably the best non-primarch character they've done so far, will definitely be picking it up to paint.

Still a great model. Can't wait to see it in the shiny blue studio scheme. I must admit I also enjoy seeing these studio members' armies. It just goes to show that the FW team is still made up of hobbyists.

Huh. I like the Pip-Boy thing (built in auspex perhaps?). I rather like it it on the Scions too. Much better than needing to let go of your weapon to reference it.

I liked Dynat when we saw him at the weekender, and I like him now! I love the pose they've given him, suitably imposing, and he's decorated but not over the top. And I really like his power sword design.

Me too

well spotted that dude.

For those interested seeing both the pre-Heresy armies of FW studio members and of other peeps like AD-B and the like, check here: https://aarondembskibowden.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/a-tale-of-five-heretics-the-failure-years/

Your mans Fallen Angles in that thread. Wow, some crazy nice stuff there.

Dynat is a great model. That being said I find it hilarious that without reading any text my first thoughts were, "Wow, now that's a much better job on the Salamanders FW!" then I read the text and had a chuckle. Awesome model and cool that it can easily be used for two chapters apparently

Scales do look good in Salamander Green.

Loving Dynat! Amazing detail, and a nicely unique character model!!

Got my Thallax with phased plasma fusil.

Sexy, sexy casting quality, flawless et al.

Awwwww yisssss.

Pray with me that my Mhara Gal is not miscast.

Since when do deities look over resin casting..?

The Horus Heresy casts I've received to date are all flawless and perfect.

Yeah, well, the larger they get, the less good they tend to fit together.

The Mhara Gal is big enough for me to be a little worried.

As for which deities, the dark gods, presumably?

I got a Dracosan not that long ago, it went together well enough, the bottom hull plate was only slightly warped. I wouldn't be too worried with the Mhara Gal.

In my experience that depends on the nature of the model. Blocky things with hull assembly like the Fire Raptor or full resin Land Raider are PITA at the best of times, things like the Brass Scorpion where the main parts are cast as a string of pieces or whole pieces with joints tend to be fairly straightforward - I don't actually own any dreadnought variants but I would think they're in the second category.

Depends on the mould age, too.

True. Though I think this time around they're not using molds well past their prime.
