They should have done a cool inquisitor model or something.

I'd be okay with this. Old and grungy as it may be, it at least has some personality.


It's old school looking but a new model. Based on 80s art for a Rogue Trader from the first Chapter Approved book.

In the casting shack.

It would have been cool to see a classic like Calgar primaritized for the 30th.

There's nothing at first glance to make him stand out from any other Intercessor, hardly fitting for a anniversary model.

Spoiler:




I find it distracting that his helmet is red from the front and grey from the back.

apparently they missed a spot when they painted it?

only thing that stands out is the sword in the scabbard.

This is what should have been on the WD cover for launch of 8th or Codex Marines. They had two opportunities to really use WD to its fullest like they did on relaunch and like they used to. Instead the WD were more reversion back to catalogue (they even ran an letter to the editor about that), with the option to purchase another magazine that had a Primaris on the front, and then the put out this bland chap as an 'anniversary' model. WHFB 25th anniversary got the awesome Harry the Hammer. They did cool retro Space Marine last year, and the Rogue Trader cover marine the prior one. This is quite a let down in comparison.

I think it's the perfect model to celebrate 30 years of disappointment and squandered potential.

Wow, whoever suggested this as the 30th anniversary model should be fired. As it was said before they should of taken a existing named marine and primarised him up.... but they are probley going to do that anyways so that's out the window. They could of made it a non-marine for the...buahahhaha sorry, I don't know what came over me there. A non-marine could of been amazingly awesome but yeah that's not happening.

I hope this isn't plastic and is finecrap so they can turf the mold and start over again. If it's plastic...well I hope they give him away in store as a walk in model and make another model.

Or you know they could of let FW do the model and knock it out of the park like they almost always do......

Maybe they simply forgot and someone had to whip the render out in like a day?

Or it's a free miniature with the White Dwarf?

If it's free with WD, then it's disappointing but acceptable.

If it's a $20-30-40 clampack then lollerskates.

The biggest pity is that it wouldn't take much to make the model so much better- a helmet crest and some fancy pauldrons alone would probably do wonders.

His right leg (our left) is covered in fingerprints as well. The whole thing from model to paintjob just smacks of laziness.

To be fair, people are being hyper-critical about tiny details on the paintjob on what amounts to a model photo that's been expanded to about 20x its actual scale.

The Fingerprints may or may not actually be fingerprints (3d print artifacts?) and could easily be invisible on the actual model at normal size.

Indeed, that and the comment about someone needing to be fired are getting a little over the top.

It can be bad purely because it's boring. We don't have to turn it into a bigger thing that it really is.
