By the same company who recently did 'Knight Dude who totally is not related to some shadowy angels'.

He mostly just looks like he ordered armor a size too big.

If he doesn’t have a bike, what’s even the point?

Those proportions are just ridiculous. Big no-no from me. Also: No bike. Also: a katana. Really?!? A zoggin katana?! He should have a scimitar!
And whats up with all those dragon ornaments? That lance looks like it could belong to alpharius.
No Fur Cloak? Bummer. He doesnt look like a white scar at all. They are supposed to be semi barbarian nomad steppe riders and not space samurai.

This model is wrong in every aspect. That massively oversized backpack, that teeny tiny head, that wwf champions belt. Those shoes that look like wooden shoes from the netherlands. urgh.
He also looks like he has a beer belly and at the same time hes weirdly slender under that armour. No no no no no. Don't like it. Like, at all.

Edit: Still a better face than guilliman tho.

That...is a very confused and unattractive sculpt.

... is this a Kickstarter for a model based on completely incorrect fluff? He's not Japanese or a samurai. Also, what's up with no bike/jetbike in a scale that isn't usable for gaming?

Is this a real Kickstarter? I find it hard to fathom the lack of research into the Primarch.

That figure is very meh. Also he's too big.

Definitely a far cry from any of the FW Primarch models.

Woof. Missing on a lot of elements, but in particular, the scale is baffling.

I won't lie when I say it kind of makes me think of this.

Thanks, I hate it.
In fact I don't think I've ever seen a sculpt I've hated that much, it's truly awful.

At least refreshing it's not direct copy of primarch but at least has own design in it

Bit tricky to copy the design of a Primarch who doesn't appear to have been designed yet...

Seriously? There's been good images of him for years. Have you not been paying any attention to HH section from GW in past years? All the design elements can be seen so incoming model has just pose and how well technical execution will be carried out to see. Overall design meanwhile? It's known already.

Just look at above posts. People are complaining how he doesn't look like the primarch. Now I wonder how people could say that if primarch's design would be unknown...

Not to pile on, but I assume you don't actually read the HH novels. All the Primarchs have professional art for them.

Egads, that's an ugly model and I can't even explain why I think it's ugly!

I'm just sitting here staring at it thinking there is something wrong with this. Like every fiber of my being is repulsed by this sculpt and I don't know why!

It’s worse than the Fulgrim model being shown. I’m pretty sure all third party marines/Primarchs have been better than this...thing.

2D art =/= 3D design.

After all, if I go on the FW site today, there is no Khan model there for me to buy, so nothing here to be copied.

Though, as it happens, I'm not much of a reader of the HH series.

It is still possible to render a 3D image from a 2D one.

I think people are being needlessly cruel concerning the quality of the sculpt.

That said, it is an absolutely horrible Khan design, be that "Jaghatai" or "Genghis" - the motifs are far more Japanese (and a little Chinese) than Mongol and...yeah, that's just really, really off the mark. Like...it's approaching "they all look the same" levels of bad.

About as authentic as when John Wayne played Genghis Khan

I feel like whoever designed the model did not read the lore on who the Khan is. It seems really out of touch.

‘Nuff said.

god now I want to see all the primarchs re-imagined as the bash street kids.

I actually like this, but it looks more Chinese/Japanese than Mongol. Also seems more like it would fit in Warzone than 40K, but as I said, overall I like it.

If they made a line of regular marines in the same sort of get-up, I’d be all over it, with this guy at the head.

Just picturing him mumbling and being muffled by the armour tickles me.

We need to start a new category: the Primuglies "Hailing from an alternate timeline in the year 400000 and a half k, Flubgrim and Flabatai Khan will make war on all that is in proportion."

The Emperor?

There no give in that armour... like at all.. It won't flex so if your under 5 feet tall he can;t actually see you in melee range.

Also when he shrugs does he shout "Down Scope" as his head disappears into his armour...
