Waking Dreamer Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Without having either of the models this is probably the best comparison I can get so far...

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'd post pics but I'm away at a tournament - One I've performed poorly in. Took AdMech and Knights as my army. Went 2,2 and 1. The standard of play was exceptional. The UK's Mike Porter - number 2 world ITC player was there, as well as a team USA ETC champion who beat me in the second round. The Throne of Skulls champion was there also. The highest level of play is not for the faint hearted. Not a single Guilliman list was at the event Ishagu who as the yank if you don’t me asking... I has played a lot of those guys. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353415-new-calgar-is-huge/page/3/#findComment-5248842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he'll be joining one of the UK teams.

beefeb Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Why would you want RG without his armour? It looks great and works very well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353415-new-calgar-is-huge/page/3/#findComment-5250328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoVonAwesome Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Abaddon's a lot more powerful, let's not kid ourselves. Abbadon wishes he was as tough as wombo combo Calgar. I mean he ran away from battle after getting stabbed by a girl and still had all his arms and legs.

mertbl Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 When did that happen? I thought it was armor/life support. Guilliman could downsize his armour now that he no longer needs it.

Ishagu Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 When did that happen? I thought it was armor/life support. Guilliman could downsize his armour now that he no longer needs it. Dark Imperium novels and a short story by Guy Haley that explains it further. He's healed and no longer needs to wear the armour, and in the novels he's often described as wearing a robe or something during downtime.

Captain Idaho Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Maybe Guilliman can upsize his armour now he no longer needs it. Terminator armour is still in this season.

Panzer Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Maybe he came to like the 4+ revive the additional tech in his armour gives. He didn't like to be imprisoned by the armour before but that doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate the additional benefits when he is actually wearing it. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353415-new-calgar-is-huge/page/3/#findComment-5259142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I would definitely take Terminator plate for the Primarch.

Captain Idaho Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If you consider how big Abaddon is I suspect GW is experimenting with larger scale Terminators (same as with the Obliterators) so we very well might see such a thing (or Primaris too).

Comparing Calgar's Primaris Armour to the new Abaddon they do seem somewhat on par in size.

Panzer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 So Abaddon is Primaris sized. I guess that's fine as he was always described as huge and there's the whole in-universe rumour about him being a clone of Horus or even being Horus himself which wouldn't make much sense if he weren't abnormaly huge (there are big Marines and then there are BIG Marines).

Deadass Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I could definetely be wrong here, but I think that image of Abaddon might not be to scale? The dead marine on the base seems a bit tiny compared to Calgar.

OttoVonAwesome Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yeah Calgar is also legendarily huge, he's basically space Hercules and his new model finally reflects that.
