Isiah Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Linky to 'Lion SF knight' for more pics. The Lion – not big enough maybe. And to me, he looks too old. But an epic model nonetheless. The shoulder pads, sword and that shield worth the entrance price alone <_<.

HJL Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Very nice. I just wish his armour wasnt black. Not a big fan of pre heresy da colours... :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248602-the-most-lion-el-jonson-ish-mini-from-scibor-yet/#findComment-3010203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Black with red gold....he'll look awesome. I may have to pick this guy up at some point. I hope Belial's rules change though so I can mix and match his wargear.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Still doesn't scream Primarch for me. And too many lions going on.

riddles Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Would make a fantastic belial though. that sword is definitely big enough to qualify as a "counts as" thunder hammer.

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I prefer the Lion Knight model they have that has the sword and pistol for the Lion. There are some great models on their site though :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248602-the-most-lion-el-jonson-ish-mini-from-scibor-yet/#findComment-3010514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePope Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Either way he would make a suitably epic commander stand in. Slightly off topic but still relevant what is games workshop stance on using non games workshop minis in their stores?

riddles Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 depends on the store, the manager etc. They tend to get a bit iffy. The official line is that conversions must use 75% GW products to be allowed in their tournaments.

Pavement Artist Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'd err on the side of caution and say it's a no no. Probably arent too keen on you promoting other companies in their store. I'm getting a luther vibe off this guy, maybe because he looks slightly aged.

KJB Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nah, the nozzle on the back puts me off, looks like the air-con above your seat on an aircraft And far to many lion heads, was El Jonson really an Aslan fan-boy?

EPK Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here is that other one. I think I prefer the lion icons being adornments on the shoulders and chest rather than encompassing the whole of said armor pieces.

Antarius Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here is that other one. I think I prefer the lion icons being adornments on the shoulders and chest rather than encompassing the whole of said armor pieces. Same here. I also think the "back vent" on the other mini is quite off-putting. It's less egregious on this one.

riddles Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The reason the back vent is there, i'm guessing, is to make it distinct from the GW terminator models. I'm ok with the back vent, personally. Steep price though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248602-the-most-lion-el-jonson-ish-mini-from-scibor-yet/#findComment-3011360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Does everyone with the surname Baker walk around wearing an apron and covered in flour? Nope, didn't think so. By the same token, i don't think the Lion walked around covered in lions. Whilst this is a cool enough model, there is far too much lion going on for my liking. It's a bit daft. I know a lot of folks like the idea of lion themed heraldry for the Lion, but i'd rather it was on a wee shield and the rest of his armour was more in keeping with the Dark Angels. ...until we get a new codex and there are lions eeeeverywhere... emperor i hope not... I don't know, that model just isn't grimdark enough for my liking.

EPK Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I sort of agree Alyss Dwr... I prefer this representation. I'd like it to only appear on the chest - but I'm okay with the exhausts as well.
