Ishagu Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So I've finally got my model assembled in hand. I wasn't sure at first, but upon close inspection this is the most impressive version of the character. He's actually on a Centurion base I believe, and he's not really that much smaller than Guilliman which is very cool. Can't wait to try him out in a game again soon.

Captain Idaho Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Pics or it didn't happen! On a serious note, I'd be interested to see him standing alongside Terminator Calgar (my favourite) and Guilliman for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The old model is fairly dated to be fair. Looking forward to seeing your paint job. Always decent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I just purchased one today. Should be here Wednesday, can't wait to get him assembled and painted up and on the gaming table ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 This is but a sidenote, but I really like his helmet, it interfaces with his bionic eye well. It's like a beautiful retrofit. The breather also looks like an open mouth. Congrats on a great model, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have mine without a helmet. It's more in keeping with the classic look. The two Honor Guard are really, really nice also. They would be incredible as a large unit, visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 So I've inspected the Honour Guard - the two models are indeed completely unique from each other aside from the similar pose. Initially I thought they were a mirror with a few details changed but each one is a different model entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 How did you find the gaps on the back of the cloaks? I've seen people online saying they need filling where the shoulder parts meet the main cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Absolutely fine. Just need to dry fit them before you start using glue and make sure any excess plastic is trimmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuEru Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 How did you find the gaps on the back of the cloaks? I've seen people online saying they need filling where the shoulder parts meet the main cape. Minimal Liquid Greenstuff needed on mine. Yes, Ishagu, I want a large Squad of Sword&Board Primaris. Cloaks would make it even stylisher (tho would look repetitive after more than 10). But I don't know who you're talking about... I only know Marnar Coldhammer! https://i.imgur.com/Isb8Lco.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NwgBQl2.jpg And his Huginn & Muninn inspired Guards of the [Not yet named Relic or so!?] https://i.imgur.com/NDtIH6I.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Ah that model is a blast from the past. What about Terminator Calgar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 He is absolutely massive! I bet he is noticeably bigger than other Gravis armour marines. I suspect GW are intentionally making stand out major character models a bit upscaled compared to their normal infantry equivalents these days. See for example Trajann Valoris compared to other Custodes, and Ahriman compared to other Thousand Sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Here's a pic of my Calgar. Incredible model. I had a commission artist help me as life is really getting in the way of my hobby (a really great guy I'd be thrilled to recommend), but I did touch up various details on the model myself to enhance it further. I'll get some comparisons with my Terminator Calgar either tonight or tomorrow :-) I'll say that he's noticeably bigger than a Primaris intercessor too, stands taller by a margin.

Panzer Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I bet he is noticeably bigger than other Gravis armour marines. I wouldn't necessarily bet on it. My kitbashed Captain Smash looks absolutely tiny beside my Gravis Captain but looks fine beside Plague Marines so it's not like he's actually tiny as I at first thought when comparing him to my Gravis Captain. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Yeah I'd like to see him next to: An Intercessor. Guilliman. Terminator Calgar. A poor Tactical Marine (for comparison) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 and an agressor or gravis captain, I reckon he is bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 He's bigger than an Aggressor but the generic Gravis Captain is also massive in fairness. I'll post pics in a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Here's a few comparisons. He's really chunky and these pics don't really do him justice. Also, forgive the horrible lighting in the pics...

Captain Idaho Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Cor the Terminator Calgar is still an imposing model, funnily enough. The Tactical Sergeant truly is dwarfed, but then the Terminator Calgar is still huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Termie Calgar is an iconic model . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waking Dreamer Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sweet model and paint job Ishagu! Do you have one with him in comparison with Gulliman? I can only imagine seeing them both on the battlefield. The sight should be enough for the heretics to drop their weapons and repent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
