Fire Golem Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 There would be more fanfare if it was Sigismund. He's a hugely popular character, they would say if it was him. Why would they not? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301569-more-imperial-fists/page/2/#findComment-3911349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hopefully those mark 4 legs are scaled correctly. Looks beautiful tho. I would imagine it'll be an Imperial Fists Command Set/Sigismund like Draykevac Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301569-more-imperial-fists/page/2/#findComment-3911373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFeeder Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Awesome, awesome sculpt. It's got to be Sigismund, there's no way Forgeworld would put that much detail into a generic command squad set. I'm super curious as to who sculpted it, I particularly like the filigree effect on the thigh plates. It says it's a command set in the article. And it's very very underwhelming if its Sigismund. Not that its a bad model, because it's awesome, but it's not Sigismund. Oh, I know it stated it was a command set. But like others have mentioned, it bears a heavy resemblance to the Sigismund artwork. http://www.blacklibrary.com/Images/Product/DefaultBL/xlarge/TemplarCMYK.jpg Maybe the sculpt could use a little more detail on his gorget, but you have to admit the miniature and artwork do look strikingly similar. In anycase, whether or not he's Sigismund, I think the sculpt is totally badass and am looking forward to seeing it released!

tdemayo Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 How can it be Sigismund? Everyone knows characters are forbidden to wear helmets. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301569-more-imperial-fists/page/2/#findComment-3911382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 It does look a lot like him... Maybe then, it's Sigismund and a command unit..? I just think if it was him, they'd say.

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 How can it be Sigismund? Everyone knows characters are forbidden to wear helmets. Several FW characters come with a helmeted and un-helmeted variant, Typhon and Kharne did in the HH character series too.

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 There was a Sons of Horus legion command set a while back, but I don't think any other legions has gotten one specific to their legion.

Tyrannicide Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 That's Sigismund. The shoulder pads, tabard, helmet, and chest plate all match what can be seen on the cover of Templar, nearly identically. Now, is FW openly lying about there being an IF Command squad, or could this be a dual-purpose kit like Rohr mentioned? EDIT: It occurred to me that the guy depicted on the cover of Templar might not be Sigismund, in which case, FW could've just used that as inspiration for this and the Sigismund we do get is vastly different looking.

Fire Golem Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Maybe the guy that does the bulletin just doesn't know what he's talking about :P The more I look the more Sigismund-y he is, I just don't get why they wouldn't shout about it more, they must know he's a popular character. I was underwhelmed at first if it is Sigismund but he is growing on me.

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Chained weapon. CheckFiligree on the armor. CheckVery similiar helmet. CheckCross on chain. CheckTabard. CheckEven little triangle frills on the side of the tabard. CheckEmperor's Champion pose. Check I find it hard to believe this is not Sigismund. I mean, sure a lot of it is just "Templar bling" and not really indicative of it being specifically Sigismund, but at least four of those things there are pretty much directly taken from the cover of Templar, as mentioned by several now.Wasn't Sigismund the only one among the IF, even the Templar brethren, to use a tabard at this time? I'm positive he was the only one in the Fists'Legion to put a chain on his weapon.

Kastor Krieg Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'd be perfectly fine if that was Siggy in the making. And if it's "only" an IF Command Squad Champion and Siggs gets an even more epic mini... GASP.

Marshal Rohr Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Im disappointed he's in Mark 4 if it is him, because the mark 4 models are all so damn small compared to other marks.

Wyvern Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Tbh lads i dont think it is siggy, his "weapon" isnt even chained to his wrist i say weapon coz for all we can see from the pic it could be a thunder hammer/power axe/ maul. The chain to me looks like ornamentation like the korhn zerker axe. Im also sure (hoping more then anything) when they finally release siggy he'll have a MUCH more dynamic pose. But the likeness to the cover of templar is striking. It is a beautiful mini.

Emperor's Furor Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I love the Imperial Fists, but there's other legions like the Raven Guard, Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors that really require some love.

Marshal Rohr Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think they are doing the last 3 legions in batches. The Fists are done, other than the Primarch, so it's not a matter of more attention for them. If this kit is about to go into production, then that means there sculptors are already on other projects.
