Thunder_god Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I was figuring we’d get Calgar in a dreadnought, much like the Red Scorpions character. Now we know how they’re going to upgrade existing marines. I’m excited. I never liked the terminator armor Calgar, and this will neatly fit into my second edition themed bright blue and yellow army. The last thing I have to about this is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/EE01F5F4-A1C5-42A5-BC97-E1DD9DBE3E10_zpskwqq0kqo.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derLumpi Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Still hoping for a schism between Primaris and the old guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Ed Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The only thing I don't like is that I'll have to paint Calgar for the third time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emperor's Champion Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I like it. I don’t mind the maguffin they’ve come up with, a device they can step in to make them Primaris. According to what’s been said at WHW today, the transformation nearly killed him, so I bet this will only be for certain characters I’m one of those older players, and I definitely want to see the likes of Azrael, Dante, Ragnar, helbrect etc step into the Rubicon and get transformed. This has a lot of potential This isn't anything new. The ability to upgrade existing regular Marines into Primaris Marines was part of the Primaris fluff from the very beginning. The only thing I don't like is that I'll have to paint Calgar for the third time. I was hoping for a Calgar Dreadnaught, but this is fine. This is the 4th version of Calgar. He's like a Pokemon who just keeps evolving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Anyone got a pic of the old 2nd ed version in power armour. Pose looks very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitth Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I can not help but wonder what transport option he will have now. Limiting him to a Repulsor would be a bit sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Love it. Paint jobs a bit odd in that only his +2 Fists of Bashing are weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNCenturion Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Big fan of the Honor Guard models. Calgar is a nice model but there are a few things tempering my enthusiasm: 1) it’s his third iteration, and he doesn’t really look that different honestly 2) it’s a larger scale problem, but I continue to loathe the way primaris were put onto the tabletop by being shoe horned and compressed into 40k fluff. It’s clunky and I still hate the direction they’re going. I get it, but I wish it were done differently. 3) without seeing his rules, Guilliman still renders Calgar obsolete on a crunch and fluff level.

Dariokan Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Love it. Paint jobs a bit odd in that only his +2 Fists of Bashing are weathered. Exactly what I was thinking. And even weirder when you take into account that they are indestructible and no one has been ever able to open them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Captain America's shield, the metal is indestructible, but Black Panther, bullets, etc can still scratch the paint off. http://i.stack.imgur.com/4mE2J.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Looking at the evolution of the character is amazing there. What’s being done in plastic now is incredible. Back in the dark ages of 3rd edition when I started playing, this level of detail was a day dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morovir Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I think the weathering is just to emphasise that the Gauntlets remained the same despite the rest of the armour being upgraded - they are still relics, not new technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more to do with the fact that he's constantly slamming them into stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadass Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Eh.I really dislike the model. The pose doesn't do it for me, it only looks somewhat acceptable from the side imo. The armor looks like a hybridisation of Gravis and Tacticus suits with extra armor plates tacked on wherever there was free space left. The backpack with its four exhausts looks ugly, and the belt buckle is just a little too big. I do like that they decided to stay away from overloading him with gold detail though, like on his terminator-armored mini. The fact that a non-primaris character just got upgraded and what it means for classic space marines bugs me aswell, but I'm too tired to open that can of worms - that also goes for the discussion about this being another Ultramarines character.If I see someone from here giving the model a different paintjob or even a completely new pose, I may warm up to it. But as it looks right now, it just doesn't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'm not sure why there's hate for the pose. It's pretty clear it's a throwback to a beloved, classic model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribe Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'm not sure why there's hate for the pose. It's pretty clear it's a throwback to a beloved, classic model. Because its inferior to his last model, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't look very dynamic to me. Without any movement in the lower part of Calgar's body, his legs, the tabard and what is visible of his cape kinda just become a single piece in my eyes. Throwback or not, I'm really not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
