Oh look, Zorg from Fifth Element

At least he has two things going for it, Mk 4 and the totem EoH being slightly bigger than generic one, unlike lame loyalist variant who has Mk 3 and small totem trivially replaced by Command Squad model. I can't help but notice that his index finger either clips into banner or a knight stepped on it making it paper flat. The chainmail hanging from raised arm also seems to mutate into weird sideway tubes at the bottom. I'd also say him being in Mk 4 is really big downside, too, if the axe hand is not separate because that wrist protector with skull on it makes cutting off hand for weapon swap really hard if you want it to look good. Also, what I said last time applies here too, totems are carried by companies, if that is supposed to be legion banner it's the wrong bit.

By the way, is it me or did sculptor placed the two belt stars there because he has turned torso and the spot looked 'bare' otherwise - making you wonder how it works when he is actually facing straight. Do the stars scrape on leg? Push on random weird chest cable trying their best to disconnect it?

I also wonder why the three alternate models are just lazy recolors. Why not use faction upgrades/helmets to show off the look other legion players actually care about instead of just slapping on some contrast and calling it a day? Oh wait, no, my bad, the middle one has random pad swap for some reason - and to another generic one, not legion bit because that would be actually useful

The unhelmeted head looks like young Eidolon in the unsubtle prequel.

Eidolon was never that pretty.

Nice mini, but the hairstyle on the variant head...just no.

Yeah, he shaved the wrong side - surely he wants the hair to cover the wound, not the unblemished part!

Wow this model shows Horus' loss of control over his men to Chaos.

No way Luna Wolves Horus would allow that non regulation haircut.

Yeah, It would look much better if the shaved scalp area was painted to be scar tissue, along with most of the right side of his face.

Maybe that was the sculptor's intention, it would explain the haircut

EDIT: I was replying to Shakalooloo

62,50€ is somewhat agreeable I suppose.

Guessing the new Deredeo costs the same as the old one? What about the Deredeo weapons sprue? I have no use for more Deredeos (got 2 already, 1 in resin and 1 in plastic), but could grab the new plastic weapons as I dont have the Lascannons yet..

it is not. It's still a 35 pts flying rhino by function in the list and that is the only thing justifying prices, certainly not material or production costs for gw.

They did end up showing the Thanatar Calix anyway. Good tbh, it was so obvious what it was it was basically a wasted slot in a reveal, at least this way it was a little bonus.

Yea I'm glad the Calix is out of the way. The article says next week is yet another resin consul tho.

I don’t mind the resin consuls.

Fingers crossed it the Forgemaster. With plakky Thallaxi in play, we need our Forgemaster.

The big stompy robot we were expecting...then not...then we were again...hmmm.

as far as i'm concerned, the new EC reveals are a heresy reveal. nearly everything can work for 30k. some great characters (using the bladeguard guys as champions or something); i especially want to use the noise champion as a moritat, with his two pistols. and those line troops, i'm never using normal tacticals for EC ever again

Yeah I’m definitely looking at the range a a great range of models and bits for a late heresy EC force.

Didn't it say character? Could be something not consul. Maybe one of the missing Praetors?

It's obviously better that they exist than if they didn't, but I'm not interested in having identical dudes as everybody else. Any release that isn't multipart plastic is pretty meh to me.

Saw this on Reddit:

Yes sir, I like it!

Definitely leans nicely into the late-Heresy aesthetic.

a thing of beauty

The new EC are gonna slot nicely into my current Siege of Terra EC, as they have gone completely down the glory hole, would match the rest of it.

Yea that's nice, and by the Siege they had gone completely off the rails already, right, wearing flayed skin is no problem.

Yes, I like that - the new EC kits don't do anything for me (apart from the character models, which are pretty good). Using the kit components on HH models seems to dial back the cartoonishness and make them look more menacing.

The Arvus is US$68 online, not bad for GW.

There's another reveal for Heresy this week. As nice as these chaps are it would be nice to see something different now.

£38 with discount is very nice.

So another resin dude.

Come to think of it, we're still missing a lot of pretty cool Centurions, like the dual pistol guy, the heavy weapons guy, the dreadnought medic...

Moritat (dual pistols dude) has been available for a while.

But you mean the midget version, right?

If they're gonna start redoing Consuls it feels like the Master of Signals needs it first, that model does not hold up.

Pretty sure the MoS is gone so unlike the Moritat, it actually is not available.

The others are recent enough that they don't need redone before any other Consuls.
