I am holding off until I see how it stands beside other Primarch models, namely the 30K version.

That version earlier in the thread with a bunch of the detailing removed from it improved the model a lot.

My biggest problem is to get the new Cypher you'd have to get him and Boringstance McGreyknight.

If you're lucky you might be able to snag him from a bits site on his own before he sells out...

The best model to come out in recent years is hands down Cannoness Veridyan. I don't know who worked on her, but they knew what they were doing. Hopefully we'll see more from said designer/artist.

Spoiler:

I personally don't like her. I get that they're going for an old school 40k look, but the high heels look absolutely idiotic and the pose just seems so... unnatural. Lose the heels and lower the leg a bit and it'd be a nice model.

I wish they'd either update the SoB line entirely or scrap it. The old sculpts are dumb looking

What did you think of Celestine? I do like her new model.

I like her new model, I just wish they'd move away from the "Bob" haircuts.

I'd be happier with the bob haircuts if they weren't always so freshly-trimmed and clean. Remember the 'sample Battle Sister' page in the 3e Witch Hunters book with the labels for all of the equipment and that same bob haircut sticking up every which way like it hadn't seen a comb in months of constant battle? Why can't we have models that look like that?

(The standard Battle Sister torso definitely needs a redesign (though my complaint is mostly that it looks like they've decided to use some sort of flexible material for the lower portion, and it doesn't really make intuitive sense to me as armour), but Celestine took almost all of my concerns about the rest of the Sisters' aesthetic and addressed them quite neatly. Though I do need to find her a sword that doesn't have a spray of roses coming off the handle, that bit just looks like she's in a Final Fantasy game. Which would be cool, except that she's in my Inquisition army, most of which would look silly in a Final Fantasy game.)

I voted Don't Know. At first I thought it was hideous on first time I saw it. But like other GW minis, the first look is always horrible lately, but sometimes grow on you.

After seeing it from a different angle it's not as bad as I first saw it. I agree the "swirly" parts need to go. Someone did a photoshop to make it look like the Emperor. I think if I can get my hands on him, that is what I will do. Looked pretty ok in gold with long black hair for the Emperor.

Don't want to be Mr Controversial, but I kinda like the new Guilliman model. It looks like a nice model to build, paint and display, although I get the thoughts on the other side of the table as well

I like it. Got me excited to work on my First Legion models again. Hopeful for the Lion and Luther. 30K/40K rules and models after seeing Guilliman.

The new Guilliman model might be not be making Guilliman as tall and skinny as people seem to think. Looks to me like a normal sized Astartes with extended prosthetic hands and feet. If he has the same neural contacts as regular Astartes, then he could maneuver and function fine with such extensions. We know the armor was crafted by Cawl, what we don't know is the extent of Guilliman's injuries. Could he be paralyzed by the poison, and the new armor is effectively life support and wheelchair in one?

Could he be an imposter?

I will say, and usually the GW stuff is amazing, i think he would have look better on their paint job with brown or black hair. Too light blonde with the light skin and the wreath thing. Needed some darker color in the wreathe and hair. But the model is great. could be the white background accentuating this.

Far too busy fr my liking.

It's okay. Better with the helmet on. Overall, I feel as though his armour is a little over-wrought. I prefer the Forgeworld imagining.
