apologist Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi all, Finished working on my mid-Crusade version of Guilliman last night, and gave him a light prime to marry all the putty, metal and resin together. Hope you like my interpretation of the great Primarch :) ...and a scale shot, to show just how tall Roboute stands. I'm pleased with the posing. The aim was to get him looking like he's ascending reluctantly, but not hesitantly, to confront his brothers. Wary, but unafraid. I'd love to hear what you think.

Prot Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 That is utterly fantastic. I don't follow Forgeworld enough to know all the parts but the overall effect is perfect. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Well, that was...fast O_o and utterly fantastic! What made you go power sword over his Dual Power Fists-Claws as depicted in the Art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 *Clicks on topic.* *Sees exactly what's advertised, rendered beautifully by a true innovator in the medium of little soldier men.* *Collapses.* Fantastic work. Utterly gorgeous. A stunning likeness that Forge World should make a mold out of and then discard whatever plans they had for the XIII legion's primarch.

GrandMagnus Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Lovely, I think Im seeing parts of Vulkan? I could be mistaken. Also, I hope you will be giving the sword a longer handle :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Coo, thanks all. I've done a rundown on the parts on mine and Doghouse's joint blog, if it's of interest. He's not quite finished – I need to replace the sword hilt, which seems to have gone AWOL between priming and photography, and there are a few bits that need tidying up. If you have any thoughts/preferences/requests for hair colour or armour decoration, I'm all ears. :) What made you go power sword over his Dual Power Fists-Claws as depicted in the Art? I wanted to get the image of Guilliman as a statesman and paladin across – more 'noble knight' than 'bruiser'. I like to think he's got a giant armoury of weapons from all over the place (in fact, there's a bit in Know No Fear which describes such an armoury), and I imagined he would have taken to the field with lots of different equipment in his time. Since this is a mid-crusade/early Heresy-era depiction, I thought a sword was a natural fit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I started painting Guilliman last night. There's some more info on the Calth blog (link above), which is where I'll keep future updates to avoid spamming the forum. Love to hear what you think :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Ah he looks wonderful. Very well made, and the paint scheme is fantastic also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InquisitorBlack Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Great job!!! Fitting interpretation of old Guilliman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Wonderful on all accounts! The only thing that stands out to me is the utterly monochromatic sword. Doesn't quite fit him I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Holy wowza. Very nice. Gotta agree with Seahawk, though. Even if you want to keep it plain, a brown-ish hilt and making different colors of iron/steel/silver to separate the blade from the pommel/guard could go a long way, I am sure.

Prot Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Very nice job. I really like the gold on the shoulder pad... I wish there were a few more pictures of it. I have no idea how you did it... I never really got into the Primarch models from FW as I just can't see using them, but that's a fantastic, inspirational piece you've done.

Brother Heinrich Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Holy crap dude, your version definitely competes with the recent WIP pictures of FWs version. Outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekellon Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Blade's grip looks a little short for it to be useful. I'd suggest making it a half-Rowbutt Girlyman palm size longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yeah, this is even more impressive when you see it stands up to FW's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Now that is how I imagined the Primarch to look! Absolutely amazing. The paint job is incredible. I don't think I'm as brave as you with conversions, I'll have to wait for the FW release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
