terranraida Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Very carefully, in the bottom right corner. I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't just looking at the cool minis... Fits all the characteristics, and there is nothing in the current GW or FW line that resembles it... http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc27/TerranRaida/IMG_00121_zps6e08ad5e.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289417-alexis-polux-sighted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigismund's Ghost Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hidden in plain sight. It sure looks like it could be him. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289417-alexis-polux-sighted/#findComment-3650158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

terranraida Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just a conversion Normally I'd agree with you, but that torso, shield, and a few little details, it doesn't fit the bill.

depthcharge12 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just a conversion Normally I'd agree with you, but that torso, shield, and a few little details, it doesn't fit the bill. Legs are praetor set, torso is Phoenix Gaurd, power fist is upgrade kit, backpack looks like heavy weapon set. However the shield looks different. I think he's just a mock up for the moment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289417-alexis-polux-sighted/#findComment-3650166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legs are praetor set, torso is Phoenix Gaurd, power fist is upgrade kit, backpack looks like heavy weapon set. However the shield looks different. I think he's just a mock up for the moment I've looked at all those bits, they don't fit well enough, the torso would be too large on the legs, The backpack is a regular MkIII backpack, but the torso feels too open from the Phoenix Guard, the gorget doesn't rise at such a sharp angle as the kit, and is quite roomy. Unless there is a less grainy picture floating around, we may not know for 100% certainty.

Kol Saresk Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It could very easily be one of those Imperial Fists boarding marines. I forget what they're called at the moment.

lukepepper Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think this is a model from one of the Forgeworld employees' actual army.

MordentHex Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 thats just a conversion, It could be very well him, but a conversion none the less. You dont have to have special model for every special character. Some are very doable just with the bits already available.

Marshal Rohr Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It's a little lazy all the IF conversions are a Iron hands. I hope it doesn't mean the torso upgrade is the only thing in our future.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well, given the photo, depthcharge12's list feels corect. Normally I'd agree with you, but that torso, shield, and a few little details, it doesn't fit the bill. Legs are praetor set, torso is Phoenix Gaurd, power fist is upgrade kit, backpack looks like heavy weapon set. However the shield looks different. Though I'm guessing from the photo that the backpack is just a regular Mk III piece. The torso feels too open from the Phoenix Guard, the gorget doesn't rise at such a sharp angle as the kit, and is quite roomy. Looks like whoever made it just carved the top and back off the Phoenix Guard torso and probably used a power armour back half to interface with the backpack.
