Lots of do-dads to shave off to turn him into anything other than an Iron Hands. Backpack cog/halo, chest and belt buckle symbols and the Iron Hand on the shoulder pad.

That being said, I'm not sure which head I like more as they both look good to me.

I think the cog would be fine for a forge lord type character in other legions, so it’s really just the belt and chest, and shoulder pad, which doesn’t seem too tricky.

It might take a bit of filing, but it shouldn't be that onerous if you wanted to do so.

In the case of the belt, with a bit of care you could flatten it down enough to add a Mechanicum symbol over the top - though I'm not sure if that sort of touch is appropriate for a Forge Lord type character in 30k.

One day they'll remember the World Eaters exist.

lol. That’s what angron said of the emperor too.

So, so much nicer than the old Iron Father model. Hope to see the TDA IH praetor soon and PA Iron Warriors one, and then it is time for World Eaters and Raven Guard to get theirs.

World Eaters and Raven guard might get a more dynamic pose than the same static pose they repeated for the last 3 models.
Not that im complaining, they look cool and gritty.

Id expect the RG praetor to have a jump pack

Looks like the world's easiest Iron Warrior conversion too - couple of hazard stripes and he'd fit right in

unfortunately, you'd need to replace the grav pistol, which is one of the cooler things about the model

Why would I do that?
You know, vs just saying he's got an Archeotech or Disintegrator pistol.

Bit bland and generic in my eyes.

A traitor version of the model will be showcased soon.

He's nice enough but I'm not even sure the Overseer needed a model tbh.

Feels like the production slot might have been better spent on a Master of the Signal which desperately needs a redo.

Field police! Nice! What a model

The command rod looks more like a Crozius than a command rod.

Looks pretty unremarkable. Not terrible, but kind of unnecessary.

Now tempted by a Heinz 57 list starring Previaan, Forge Lord and Overseer.

entirely solid model. curious what the traitor one is going to be like

His medallions are really thick. Like the bottom ones are just really chunky and like they're meant to be part of his armor, and not just decorations.

Isn't that what a Dark Emissary is?

well, the DE is SOH-specific. i assume these are trying to be more generic than that

Dark Emissaries are assigned to assure Horus' rule over other Legions, Overseers are the Marines assigned to direct and oversee attached Auxilia units.

I thought he was specifically a SoH sent to traitor legions to enforce discipline and loyalty. So something available to all traitors and not just one

They are, but they're SoH assigned to those Legions. See my post I made as you posted that.

Probably this fella.

Looks like he could pull double duty as an Overseer or Delegatus. Maybe not the most needed consul, but nice looking and good to see more being made.

Looks pretty nice and I'm glad a ubiquitous "expansion" unit is getting a model. Certainly a more worthwhile investment of a resin mold than the 2 legion specific tank commanders.

Is it wrong that I'm liking the Horus Heresy Marines better than the new/current line of 40k Primaris Marines?

These just feel more... I don't know... more Warhammer?

Well, HH plastic mk 6 armour looks better than the 40k mk7 armour. Primaris intercessors also look better than 40k mk7 armour, so its all good now. (dont ask if older plastic mk3 armour is better than the new plastic mk3 armour, because that is a matter of taste and cant be decided easily)

Looks great but reads as a Chaplain to me.

Great model, regardless of the intention.

Just swap in a skull mask. This model is nice and multipurpose.

They're more like Commissars though. They're a reminiscence to the field police in Rogue Trader and were later mentioned as Consul-Opsequiari in HH 1st edition as enforcers of discipline (including executions) in the Legio Astartes at the begin of the Great Crusade when Marines where often enough a bunch of uncontrollable psychopaths. I guess they got the mellowness of age to not kill the Auxilia - at least in the rules.

This model looks pretty good, if a little generic. Generally, FW are doing a good job with their character figures for Heresy. I like his helmet - I'm a sucker for the crested helmet.
