Fire Golem Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Polux is up! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/ALEXIS_POLUX_405TH_CAPTAIN_OF_THE_IMPERIAL_FISTS.html He's incredible.

m_r_parker Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It's nice of ForgeWorld to show off the 360 view of the completed / painted model - it really highlights the incredible level of detail on him. The under-slung combi-melta on his Power Fist The scripting on his armour - take a look at his back legs The unique (not sure if Ive seen them on other models before) shoulder pads And will be welcome relief to those that wanted him at the weekender only to be told that he was sold out. Reckon stock of his model lasted an hour, and one off the quickest sellers of the Weekender. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this is one of the best non-Primarch characters I've seen ForgeWorld do.

Daemon2027 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Was hoping to get some of the RG upgrade sets to. He is a nice model, may get him for a painting project.

zedmeister Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Lovely looking model. Bonus points to anyone who paints his powerfist crimson Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303430-polux/#findComment-3949520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Was hoping to get some of the RG upgrade sets to. He is a nice model, may get him for a painting project. I would expect ForgeWorld to release everything at the Weekender before they release the RG upgrades. At the moment we're missing: Stormhammer Word Bearers Contempted Dread Solar Auxilia Ogryns The new Mechanicum Guardian Automota Solar Auxilia Rapier batteries My guess is you've got at least three weeks before you see anything non-Weekender related in the New Stuff section - but who knows, ForgeWorld can surprise us.

Daemon2027 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 They sometimes slot upgrade sets in as they are not a big release, but your right, will see all that other stuff first.

Captain Semper Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Lovely detail and tons of character. My only objection would be the overall pose... The bended leg looks a bit odd to me. Magnificent model nevertheless. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303430-polux/#findComment-3949525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Doesn't really look that much bigger than the other marines and he's been described as a giant and "ogryn sized". Still, cool model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303430-polux/#findComment-3949531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and do a size comparison this weekend - from having him out of the box he feels on a scale with Abaddon in Termie armour. Not humongous, but a good degree bigger than other Astartes equivalents.

Ishagu Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wonderful model, I would LOVE to use him as a Chapter Master but I don't want to desecrate all the IF iconography!

Barabbas Sogalon Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I really like him, except for the lack of an optional helmet. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303430-polux/#findComment-3949778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 ... My FW order is now bank breaking Oh well! *click* I hear your pain. I've been ordering £250 per month for the last... omg... THAT many months? Yet, MUST HAVE POLUX!!! At least one for Imperial Fists and one for his later Crimson Fists.

Emperor's Furor Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wonderful model, I would LOVE to use him as a Chapter Master but I don't want to desecrate all the IF iconography! Same he's the first model I've really wanted so I could convert, but it feels sacrilegious to remove those icons.

Spinsanity Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 The face is great, don't get me wrong, but that is not what I'd call "void-hardened armour"... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303430-polux/#findComment-3949791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoric Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Oh my... That's a gorgeous model, congratulations Forge World! I don't care, that he is not an Iron Hand, Polux will be the first model on my next order from FW. And I will paint him yellow, because - as some say - diversity delights! :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303430-polux/#findComment-3949798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what exactly would you call void-hardened armour? There's not a lot of examples to go by, brother.
