Ok what armour mark is that? I see elements from all over the place.

Also, still enjoying the fact that the part of the alpha legion symbol that most people probably think is meant to be an alpha is actually a lambda. Deception within deception…

I believe it's an artificer Mk5 pattern?

Little bit of patience will go a long way Kan. You'll get one eventually, don't fret.

It doesn’t look like it, but I’m gonna mark 6 based off the backpack? I don’t think fw models typically combine mks of armor

Sure we will.

Looks old scale. Gorilla proportions and all that.

He looks great. One for my Alpha's

9/11 - Stormseer
23/11 - 1k Sons Libarian (not a legion specific consul admitedly, but it is a consul that is a specific legion)
30/11 - Dark Emissary
7/12 - Saboteur

In less then a month, they've announced 3 (4ish) legion consuls. I'd give pretty good odds of your precious Ravenguard getting theirs!

Masters of misdirection, a Saboteur Consul can stroll into the ranks of their opponent without revealing themselves, masking their presence to create havoc, spoil defences, or eliminate high-ranking targets.

The constant problem of alpha legion (and other 'sneaky' space marines): How?

Is there magic involved? Camouflaged plates? Stealth field projectors? No one in the galaxy is going to take a look at this guy and think 'yep, definitely NOT alpha legion. Must be one of ours'

Is it a nice model? Sure. But the idea that he can stroll about without a reveal is extremely, utterly silly.

Now go back and look at how many of those Legions already had characters. Raven Guard are way overdue.

I'd be less irritated if Raven Guard were swimming in 40k releases, but that ain't happening either.

Not at all relevent to the point at hand, which is, Legion specific consuls.

Again, not relevent to the point at hand, less so even as it's 40k and not 30k.
Stay with us here Kan, don't get sidetracked.

You tried to make it sound like I'm just being impatient for a specific model.
No, I'm being "impatient" for any model. Hence why I said "way overdue" and brought up the idea of looking back.

Although given that this seems to be Mark 5, it's less likely than you're trying to make it out to be.

With the Raven Guard it is literally magic. Their ability to blend in with shadows is Actually Supernatural and all that, and Corax and shadow-teleport. The Alpha Legion OTOH are just really, really good. And also covered in chameleon weave and sensor baffles and grav-nullifiers to make their tread lighter.

Ahhhhhhhhh... I was this close to greatness...

Nice Model though.

You can't see him because he has a camouflage cape. He turns around and like that... he's gone. Like in the second image I was confused - I see 2 side shots of an Alpha Legion consul, but then why did they include a random picture of a void shield generator? Oh wait, it's Alpharius!

My favorite thing about Marines with camo cloaks, which this one highlights really well, is that they basically have to moonwalk towards the enemy to get any use out of it.

Raven Guard don’t actually have a legion specific consul to get a model of though, unlike the ones we’ve got so far (TS aside). Maybe they’ll get a vigilator or something in the vein of said TS librarian, but they could do with their Praetor models first.

Very nice AL model, uses the same excellent style of helmet as the terminator praetor.

all the more reason to give them a jumppack praetor.

No seriously.

Ah well...
I didn't know they didn't have one. But then other then a slightly more the cursory glance, can't say ive paid much attention to their rules. Sort of renders the whole point moot I guess.

He's stealthy because he has a cloak.

It should have had a high collar like some sort of opera villain.

JoyToy Reveals:

Ah excellent a commemorative figure of a power armour design that doesn't exist.

Mad. Been waiting for these guys.

What do these joytoy fellas normally retail for?

It varies massively - have a look at Cool Toys Club. The basic, mass-produced ones can be cheap but it's inconsistent.

MK LLL?

Did something change and we're up to Mark 150 now in lore?

Interesting that it's the older MK3 kit and not the redesigned version
