Relic of Dorn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So with book 3 coming out, I figured I would start this before the next sculpt is released. Which of the 5 Primarch Models do you find more appealing and true to the fluff that we have read? Angron http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/Angron_12a.jpg Fulgrim http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/Fulgrim-p1logo-v2.jpg Ferrus Manus http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/Ferru1.jpg Lorgar http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/lorgar1.jpg Horus http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/Horus-main.jpg IMHO, I love all of them, but I would have to put my favorite current sculpt with Ferrus Manus. It is great to actually see what they look like compared to the descriptions in the books. Angron: 2 Fulgrim: 1 Ferrus Manus: 8 Lorgar: 1 Horus: 10 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288636-personal-favorite-primarch-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ferrus. The model is dynamic without seeming unbalanced (Angron and Fulgrim just look like they're gonna fall over), excellent proportioning (Lorgar looks like a giant head on a tiny body. His legs are especially short), the face/head are well done, the armor is nicely detailed and all the articulation just feels like it works.

Barabbas Sogalon Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I love the Horus and Ferrus Manus models, but I'll say I like Horus best because of all the perfect detailing on his armour. The worst must be Lorgar, only thing I like is the mace, the rest is so far from how I imagined him.

Týr Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Of the current Primarchs I like the Horus model the best. I love his claw, the great pose and the scenic base. Followed close by Ferrus Manus. It's a very dynamic and strong pose and his armour is amazing. Finally there is Angron in third place. I really think they captured him very well from how he is described in Betrayer (at least it's very close to how I saw him when I read it). Where all the other Primarchs seem to have heroic poses Angron just have the pose of a tough guy in a bar fight (he is winning). Which is how it should be.

Cerbero666 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Well, I'm between Horus and Ferrus, but I would say Ferrus because the model is more dynamic and detailed than Horus, even when Horus base is more awesome. About Lorgar, well, is a pity that FW used different sculptors to make the primarchs. I mean, even when other apart from Simon Egan could get the job well done the primarchs would be too different in their style. You could see a likeness between Horus, Ferrus, Fulgrim and Angron. Lorgar in the other way looks as if he was from a different family (a very static and ugly one). He was the more alike to the Emperor, there he looks more like Malcador, and not any close to Horus (who's bald and stuff). I would rather prefer for Egan to sculpt them all even when it would take more time for release.

DarKnight Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I love them all, even Lorgar with that face only an Emperor could love, if only because of the novelty of seeing Primarchs we don't have that many concrete images of, but my favorite is Angron thus far. That armor is awesome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288636-personal-favorite-primarch-models/#findComment-3633800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand_master85 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I actually think Lorgar is my favourite mini. Ferrus is a close second. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288636-personal-favorite-primarch-models/#findComment-3633801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ferrus had it, until Horus stole the show. Fulgrim's face makes him my least liked and Lorgar's face puts him in second most disappointing.

Phoros Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Probably Ferrus > Horus > Angron. Lorgar is the worst. That face... eugh. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288636-personal-favorite-primarch-models/#findComment-3633827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Horus without a shadow of a doubt. Despite being a fanboy I was terrified he'd be given a bad face (eg, Lorgar) but I was blown away with the end result.

Greyall Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'll say Horus, but Lorgar's armour is very nice depiction of the plain MK3 armour described in the novels, integrating the Legion's esoteric dabblings. I love Angron's model the most, but the chest and legs could be more grimdark. Personal preference there, Horus steals the show, objectively.

Emperor's Furor Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I like Horus and Ferrus, but Horus over Ferrus, I think Ferrus doesn't look ugly enough to be called the Gorgon.

Vile Siren Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I want to say Fulgrim because I love the model and the character of fighting with his closest brother but there is no denying that Horus is better, so I guess my vote goes with Horus.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I like Horus and Ferrus, but Horus over Ferrus, I think Ferrus doesn't look ugly enough to be called the Gorgon. Ferrus being called the Gorgon wasn't because he was ugly - it was a reference to the fact that he had no appreciation for the frivolities of art like Fulgrim did. His face was described as chiseled, and covered in scars, but never ugly. Personally, I'd like to see Ferrus on a different base - I know its for a diorama, but it always makes him look at a disadvantage / of lesser status being angled up. Also, I think it'd be cool to see him with the cape of silver chainmail he's described as having, or wielding Fireblade, visa his fight with the Phoenican Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288636-personal-favorite-primarch-models/#findComment-3634013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relict Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Angron and Fulgrim are fine - both of the poses reflect the character depicted very well. Ferrus and Horus are the best overall models. Lorgar would have been a fine model as well were it not for the head. Isn't Lorgar supposed to be the primarch that most reflects the Emperor's visage? His model looks like he didn't get enough sleep last night and ate all the donuts in the office.

GhostMalone Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Nothing will ever amaze me like angron did.

Chop Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have painted all 4 and will be getting Horus as soon as I can place a big order. I really like all the models. I would go with Horus first, and Ferrus a very close second. I just finished painting Lorgar, and I have to say he's got a bad wrap. He really is a super detailed nice model. His face is overly sculpted, and it was a little struggle to make him not look so old.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Out of interest, I don't suppose anyone has considered using liquid greenstuff as a miniature equivalent to anti-wrinkle treatment for Lorgar's face?
