New Imperial Fists Praetors!

[Irate Khornate]

Now that's a marine that required refurbished dreadnought parts for armor.

Mine just came today; adding to the size comparison pics.

 

 

 

It's about the same height at the hip as a Primaris Marine and a Tortuga MkIII. The torso seems a little longer than the Tortuga MkIII.

Man those are thicc legs. I guess that's the whole problem with that model.

The model has a lot of tricks so that when it’s done the proportions look human(ish), but individually the parts are too small or too big. This guy has no waist or abdomen. The hip plates and upper ridges of the legs create the impression of one.

The ultramarines terminator praetor is normal scale, same size as other recent terminator praetors like the WB, DA, AL etc ones. The IF terminator must just be an aberration.

That's really a shame, I was hoping to use it as a Deathwing HQ to go with some Tartaros Companions I'm working on. I'm not normally too bothered by scale issues, but that's a different story if it's aberrant.

Scale creep is nothing new. Personally I still play with all my old mini marines. Like my old metal librarian (you can see him sticking his head up in the group shot below lol) and I put an old metal apothecary on a cool taller base to bring him up a little. So if the new plastics are even larger. . .well they will just look even shorter then. I just envision the librarian as the little kid in the back jumping up and down frantically waving and yelling 'pick me, pick me!'

If you don’t like it don’t buy it. I think it’s fantastic.

Works for most of the systems. Sadly this is the one where they actively cull the previous iterations and alternative options.

I have him on my painting table currently.

The mini in and of itself is great. I think one hq being that big is okay. Especially since hes in terminator armour.

I am considering trying to 'buff out' further terminators I might build to make em more menacing.

[Gederas]

Hate to bump this, but anyone have a size comparison of the Terminator Praetor compared to the Custodes Aquilon Terminators?

 

I had an idea but wanted to make sure it works before I pull the trigger

One must also consider that the existence of a bad mini prevents the creation of a good one.

Take an extreme case: the Space Wolves Varagyr and Cataphractii praetor. VIth legion players hate them enough to convert their own versions over buying the FW ones, but because the units already exist, FW will never make new ones.

 

People have a right to complain. Not that it will change anything.
