I rarely complain, but I was really really hoping for rules from when he was a battle captain as well...

Garro looks nice.. but wait, since when have the Character Series been £45? Apparently they did the price hike with Eidolon, now that I look at FW pages.. Typhus and a couple of others are still at £32, though

The last 3/4 characters have been £45.

Ooo, in the rules there's a little teaser:

...Horus Heresy Book Six – Retribution...

Ordered FW Horus Heresy stuff for £257 just two days ago, and now they reveal this beautiful model. Damn it.

Oh well, it's Christmas soon, so one more present for myself can't hurt!

Garro is a very solid model, but compared to other character models like Sigismund or Eidolon it lacks a certain level of details. One can see FW is missing their second best sculptor ...

Well, to be fair, Garro isn't supposed to be popping out all that much.

For sure, especially when compared to the much more extravagant lord commander of the Emperors Children or the Emperors champion himself !!

He looks pretty much how I imagined he would.

Actually he looks more ornate than I expected! A bit of a boring paint job though.

Well he wears grey armour haha, it's as interesting a paint job as it could be really.

P.S. MKII Crusade Armour is "sold out"

Spoiler:

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/MKII-Crusade-Armour and so is MKIV Maximus Armour http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/MKIV-Maximus-Armour

P.P.S. What's the difference between "MKIV Maximus Armour" and "Legion MKIV Maximus Armour"?

The Legion Heavy Flamers were sold out, when I mailed them about it they said the following:

At this moment in time, we do not have a date as to when they would return, but we would estimate it being in the next 2-6 weeks.

Well, that's great for BaC builds, but apparently I'm now going to have to cut those hands back out of the heavy flamers to use them with any of the resin legion infantry sets. Kind of sucks for anyone building a non-BaC army who wants to use them.

Garro looks awesome!

But my goodness is that pricey for a regular sm sized character. (non-terminator, non-primarch)

Or just cut the hands off the resin arms, probably easier.

Yeah. Duh on my part. Still annoying that they pulled them NOW, when I was going to be getting some of the "low-carry" heavy weapons for my PH Salamanders soon.

Yeah, lovely model. He looks quite chunky compared to normal power armour and his saves are 2+/4++ (3++ in challenges) with an assault 3 bolter, so pretty comparable to terminator armour really.

I'm not totally in love with the head, that might be getting a swap. I always pictured him as stern rather than sort of leering. Otherwise I love it and the rules are pretty fun.

Thanks.

So is this heavy flamer issue a sign that FW will be getting out of the power armor business and just do accessories, characters and vehicles?

I hope not. The draft needed for permanent moulds used in plastics bother me a lot more than it should. I went so far as to carve it out on a power fist once so the fingers would actually be fingers.

Forgive the ingnorance, but what's that logo/design on this left kneepad/right shoulder pad?

no it's a sign that they are modifying their products to work with the new Battle at Calth plastics which also have the hands attatched to the guns

The mark of the Sigilite.

edit.

Garro looks like his left wrist is just about dislocated (or he swing the sword so hard that it is slipping out of his fingers and he's about to drop it). Talk about an awkward pose. That, the ridonculous chest bird and the cartooney bolter detract from the rest of the model that could have been spectacular.

His legs and feet seem off to me. He just looks like he was tacked onto that base as an afterthought and not sculpted onto it, I mean look at how odd his feet look on that body. IDK, he is OK but for 45 frickin pounds I think he should be better.

During the open day, someone said that one of his legs was cybernetic. I don't know the reason for the rest of the posture, but so far I feel like the figure need some refinement...

Yeah the feet don't look like they're on the base properly, he's almost just perched on top of the Gal Vorbak. I like him but that does look a little awkward.

When did the IoM switch to a double headed eagle? I thought that happened when they unified with Mars. Which would have happened, by the point this model was sculpted for.

Also $60 bucks for one figure is insane.

Yeah it does signify the union, however at the point Garro is set out on his quest Mars has all but fallen, Imperial Fists evacuated after a strike to grab war supplies. Garro's armour signifies the Emperor alone I believe,

Age of Sigmar wants to have a word with you.

AoS is insane too.

I really like Garro's rules. Particularly "The Emperor Protects". It nicely matches the character's background.
