TheForgottenAngel Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 From the minute I saw him I knew I'd have to own one. Prepare for your mind to be blown by his pose! It's my favorite so far!

goosey_j Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've suspected for a while that Mortarion was going to be the best looking Primarch, and judging from this I can say I'm probably going to be right. I'm not even really into the Death Guard, but the way Mortarion is described in the literature is just... awe inspiring, and terrifying at the same time. A literal reaper of life. The whole cowl and robes thing as well is just :cussing sick.

GhostMalone Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've got to say I'm not jumping to any conclusions criticisms or fanboyisms until I see the entire sculpt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291079-mortarion-cometh/page/2/#findComment-3687654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveNYC Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm willing to give it a little fanboy credit. Hopefully the head will be a seperate piece, looks like it might be tough to paint his face otherwise.

Emperor's Furor Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It looks to me like he's swinging his scythe like in a picture I've seen of him, he's striding forward with the scythe pulled back about to swing.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Part of me really wants the scythe to have the traditional handles as featured on its original incarnation as farming equipment, rather than just a straight haft - harvesting lives Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291079-mortarion-cometh/page/2/#findComment-3687788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Love what I see so far. I am a bit concerned about the face though. From what I can see now, the face looks great. But Edgar tends to struggle with faces a bit. Everything else about Edgars sculpts is just about perfect, but his faces generally just look too old for my taste. Lorgar looks amazing, except for his 90 year old face. Kor Phaeron's face looks like its from the WFB zombie sprue. Although, Typhon and Khârn look fine, so its a 50-50 shot I guess. On the faces, i think thats more to do with the painting, those faces look a lot better i the resin.

TalonZahn Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The HH books describe it as a ventilator that pumps mist around his head rather than a respirator type mask. Can't wait to see the whole sculpt. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291079-mortarion-cometh/page/2/#findComment-3688331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle captain corpus Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hmmmm...not too bad a job by the look of it...though the pose will be the killer for me. I find the Primarchs sculpts to be a little Marmite. Some are truly lovely (Ferrus Manus), with some being horrific (Fulgrim)....but we shall see. There is no way on Terra I'll be getting him, not my cuppa to paint, but will be interesting nonetheless.

Phoros Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I had been hoping it would be a dueling pose with the Khan. Given that the Khan's not coming out for several years... seems a little unlikely.

AfroCampbell Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 im gonna be honest, I love the look, but I have to echo thoughts about a lack of gas mask...... i wondered if demon prince Mortarion may be made later with gas mask....? i dunno random thought. i wait to see the entire model b4 judgement. looks gorgeous so far tho.

DuskRaider Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I actually like that we can see the man behind the mask. He looks feral, which is a good thing. Perhaps viewing him from the front will give a better feel of him having his face masked by the piping and whatnot, but as is I like him.

Vesper Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 They'll most likely release daemon versions of Angron, Mortarion, Magnus and Fulgrim. Maybe a chaotic one of Lorgar and super-Horus.
