Slips Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not Sigismund, my main boy but, YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS Some people might get him just for his Power Fist And: I like that his Storm Shield resembles a Breacher Shield.

Slips Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I KNOW RIGHT?!?! Great timing too because I have him in a ZM Breacher/Phalanx Warder list.

Fire Golem Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm just happy I was right about the feathers haha. I do kinda wish it had been an Ultramarine. The Calth book should be out the first half of next year right? I do really like that Pollux sculpt so far though. The shield and fist look cool so far, his face is excellent, and I love the little cross by his neck. And I'm going to have to get some Solar Auxilia now. I love those flamers. I had been resisting up til now.

Ordo Machinum Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Part of me was hoping it could have been Perturabo. I could have begun the Iron Warrior side of my ZM/Execute Perturabo list versus IF Captain Amandus Tyr. But as it is (may be) Captain Polux, then I must get ready to begin (again) with my Legion VII force.

Olis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I doubt it's Dorn or Sigismund but we haven't got the whole picture yet so I've not yet 100% ruled them out. Only 99.9% so far. I had to reread Polux's entry in Extermination just to reassure myself it was him. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300834-solar-auxilia-flamer-section-and-fw-jigsaw/page/4/#findComment-3898433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just using IF restraint. A helmet would be nice... waitaminute, then I'll need four of him to paint?! 2 for IF, 2 for CF.

ninjasuperspy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Haha nice, Pollux out of left field! I'll have to wait on the eBay auctions so I can steal his backpack, studded shoulder pad & power fist (depending on density of iconography) for my Alphas. That's a nice shoulder pad.

DimDim Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Looks like its shaping up to be an excellent piece as always especially the head, but is anyone else slightly disappointed? If you've ever seen the cover of shadows of treachery I always assumed the marine on the front with the giant fist was Pollux. Pollux didn't always have such high command and was essentially a second in command to a main fists fleet master(cant remember his name) so wouldn't he have been equipped more sparingly with less flash and more function? on the cover the marine simply wears mk2 with a possible mk3 chest and carries a standard square boarding shield, not a over the top eagle themed shield. I don't know, maybe its just me but i figured Pollux to be more of a man of function, more in tune with getting the job done without excess. This is great for those who feature Pollux solely as an HQ (im using him to complement Sigismund when not using a standard praetor) and it will be less difficult to model him with the size he truly is as forgeworld will handle that for us, but i was kind of hoping they would leave Pollux one of the undone characters so everyone could have a personal spin. I probably still will. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300834-solar-auxilia-flamer-section-and-fw-jigsaw/page/4/#findComment-3898902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably still will.Hashin Yonnad was Pollux's superior and mentor. Polux was his chosen successor. Alexis Polux had previously commanded large fleets on his own, although none so large as the Retribution Fleet trapped at Phall. He was the direct Captain of the 405th Company. He was sort of like General Omar Bradley rather than General George Patton type. A "soldier's general" in humility, but able to make the hard decisions when necessary. "...quiet, unassuming, capable, with sound common sense. Absolute dependability. Give him a job and forget it." - Lieutenant Colonel George C. Marshall speaking of General Bradley.

Conn Eremon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 He's still a Captain, and looks far less blinged out than an Emperor's Children. It should be expected that he would look a bit more than the men of the line you can see on the cover mentioned. Which also looked pretty blinged out, by the by.

The covers of Shadows of Treachery and The Crimson Fist are the official Imperium portraits of Captain Polix, whereas the miniature represents the "live image" recorded during the assault (presumably against the Contrador). I may get an extra model to see if it can converted to resemble the book cover version.
