GrandMagnus Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I just watched the video with Simon Eagan, and he sais near the end thatthe experience of sculpting horus legplates, and all its embossed details eill help him alot on the project he is working on atm, as it has alot of embossed plates. Wonder what he is sculpting... Me too. I'm thinking Dorn...or it just occurred to me, does anyone see any similarities in Horus armor to something the Russ might wear? Not the arms, but possibly the legs and torso? It's definitely fun speculatin'. Not really, I would kind of imagine Russ wearing something similar to MK II armour.

Xwingt65 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 In my mind, Russ wears mk II plate, relatively unadorned save a wolf pelt and some fenrisian charms.

Chop Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 First primarch I thought of is Dorn. Out of the group that is coming out he has the most ornate armor.

Honda Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 In my mind, Russ wears mk II plate, relatively unadorned save a wolf pelt and some fenrisian charms You're probably right, but the part that got me thinking was "similar" is the lower part of Russ's armor as depicted on the cover of "Prospero Burns". I thought I saw some similarities there. However, it would make sense that it's Dorn.

High Marshal Marcus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It looks like they didn't make a separate smaller base for this mini... only drawback IMO What an amazing model in every other form :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287926-horus-mini/page/6/#findComment-3627164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah they did, the eagle head is the smaller base. Edit: damn autocorrect Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287926-horus-mini/page/6/#findComment-3627166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I was on the edge of buying my first Primarch with Ferrus, this one will make me fall from the cliff. I really want to paint him in white, but if I remenber correctly, I have to remove Worldbreaker isn't it ?

Captain Semper Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I certainly would like to see your take on Horus One-Eye! Personally I really like the mini. A lot. Probably my favorite Primarch - although Fulgrim is also a candidate for the top position still (the movement does it for me). :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287926-horus-mini/page/6/#findComment-3627412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 As the first horse out of the Primach gate, I thought Angron was great because he looked a lot like the artwork and also had a good movement that conveyed a sense of the man we've come to know in the books. Fulgrim... Well, I hate the guy, but I can stand back from that enough to look at the figure objectively and I think the armor and the movement are incredibly well done, but the face and the hair are almost a jarring difference in quality from the rest of him. This is honestly how I felt when the first pics came out and everyone was losing their mind of him: http://i.imgur.com/ZYKBr.gif Ferrus was an interesting case because the figure did something the books couldn't, which was make me give a crap about the guy. Lorgar, while not not bad, he's not spectacular, and is probably on the bottom of my list for the Primarchs so far. I hadn't been so blown away by any of the Primarch figures that I thought I need to get me one of those. Until Horus. Short of an Emperor figure, I can only imagine that he would be the hardest one to get right, having to embody the sharp tactical mind, the regal bearing, and the charisma that made him the obvious choice for Warmaster over his nineteen seventeen brothers, and to my amazement, they did it. By the God-Emperor, they did it. http://i.imgur.com/yGBuI.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287926-horus-mini/page/6/#findComment-3627420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm not entirely sure of the timeline, but I think he was named Warmaster and given Worldbreaker by the Big E when his Legion was still the Luna Wolves. It was after the Emperor retired from the Crusade that the Sons of Horus name and color change was proposed.

Greyall Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Meaning there's a narrow window of White Horus + Worldbreaker. That's a green light for you, One-Eye. Now bring forth the amazement.

Flint13 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yep, pretty narrow window, but a marble white Horus would look amazing. Just paint up that little diorama and call it "Ullanor That Evening" or something. I could definitely see that Horus mini as a capture of the few seconds when the Emperor hands off control of the Great Crusade to his first son, grants him the World Breaker and literally billions roar their approval of the new Warmaster as he basks in that adulation.

Noctis Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The leaked photo really didn't do this fantastic model justice! I'm not entirely sure of the timeline, but I think he was named Warmaster and given Worldbreaker by the Big E when his Legion was still the Luna Wolves. It was after the Emperor retired from the Crusade that the Sons of Horus name and color change was proposed. I think it is stated that indeed Horus received Worldbreaker from the Big E as a badge of his new office, which I would presume, have been at Ullanor. So still White Armour there then indeed. In Horus Rising we see him using (memory serving, it has been years since i read it sadly) a sword, the twin of the blade Sanguinius uses, and a Stormbolter. I think it is actually the Talon that dates the armour black rather than Worldbreaker as (again memory serving) it was gifted to him by the Fabricator General as a sign of fealty to his new rebellion. Though Betrayal doesn't mention this I think it is again from either the end of False Gods or older fluff, meaning they are already the SoH and his armour black? Don't get me wrong I am not trying to take a wizz in anyone’s cornflakes here; I am whole heartedly for this God of war in pearl white! Luna Wolves will always be, I think, my first Heresy era love and the time of the first 3 books I hold quite dear. I am just trying to reconcile the fluff i have in my head with the official timeline.

Honda Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just paint up that little diorama and call it "Ullanor That Evening" or something. "An Evening in Ullanor", sounds like one of those artsy foreign movies starring Bogart and Bergman. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287926-horus-mini/page/6/#findComment-3627817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I really hope Simon Egan does the custodes eventually. As for what he's working on now it could be Dorn as several people have already mentioned.

Telhdrat Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I was just drooling at the pictures on FW site and only now noticed the pics of him with the other Primarchs and characters. I have to say I was amazed at how the primarchs really do look like brothers in them, despite being quite different too.

Flint13 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yep, I've noticed it in Horus and Ferrus especially. Lorgar would be pretty darn similar too, if his face had a little less sag to it. Maybe that's why they went a different way with Lorgar's model? Otherwise he would be a carbon copy of Horus, facially at least.

GrandMagnus Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I think Lorgars face looks really old because of the way its painted, although it does seem to have more age to it and Horus (a side effect of his loyalty to chaos, perhabs?). I have now seen the warmaster, now I just need Guilliman, Sanguinius, Kurze, Russ and the Emperor himself and Im happy.
