Night Runner Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hitech minitures have posted pictures of their Space Viking leader - 'Odin'! Seems like a good proxy/substitute for a Leman Russ model until Forgeworld bless us with theirs. The size is more or less spot on though. Page is HERE for anyone interested. Personally, I prefer to wait - even though the green seems like an excellent sculpt.

Squark Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Am I the only one embaressed to admit they thought he was talking about the tank? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292715-leman-russ-proxy-usable/#findComment-3724221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Oh, that looks pretty coo - wait, this isn't a tank! This does look like the Fenrisian Wolf himself, pretty deliberately I'd wager. The green sculpt looks gorgeously detailed, though, but then it's all about how much the mould retains of that detail. I have no idea if Forge World have Russ coming any time soon, either. This Reman Luss guy seems like a good stand-in for now. Personally, I'd rather not buy an expensive proxy if the plan is to buy the real deal later on.

Vykryl Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The Leman Russ tank was my first thought as well. That model peaked my interest far more than a tank would. I have stats for Russ somewhere, but there not pointed. There are a handful of primarchs on it.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I've seen this model before, and I think it is hideous. Mostly it's due to his armor. The way it's stacked makes the model look too bulky for my tastes.

The way it's stacked makes the model look too bulky for my tastes. End of Line I agree, granted it's soooo much better a sculpt than I could do... However... It just looks badly proportioned to me. Anyone who ever complained about the Ragnar model being static in its pose, should also level their comments against this model too.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I will gladly wait for the FW model to come out, at that time we will get a stat line as well and some special rules for him. I can wait... I think. End of Line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292715-leman-russ-proxy-usable/#findComment-3725324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Agreed. I can wait for FW's Russ but if I had some extra money, I might be tempted to get it as a Wolf Lord or Wolf Guard Battle Ldr. Maybe.... It is a wolfy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292715-leman-russ-proxy-usable/#findComment-3725366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it's stacked makes the model look too bulky for my tastes. End of Line So a quick search (not entirely necessary) of Google Images for Leman Russ shows stacked plate armor in nearly every instance.....and you have a problem with it.....right? The model has been around for some time and I think it is an excellent option for those with less than expert GS skills. Even the model from Scibor has stacked plate armor...which according to canon is what was what the Primarch wore and was wearing at the time of his departure.

The stubby looking armor makes a stubby looking figure look even more stubby. He's as wide as he is tall. It is my personal opinion, call me out on that one as well, Growler...

Sturm Moonwolf Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I think it looks pretty darn snazzy and would make for a unique looking Battle Leader to add to my Apocalypse army.
