1ncarnadine Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's really cool that Guilliman is out but I can't help but notice the trend started with Sigismund. 65 pounds sterling? More expensive than Horus? Hmmmmmmmm. I mean, is the base that much bigger? Not really. Is the detail there? No, it's flat stuff that you yourself go to the trouble of painting in marble. So... Uhhh..... Yeah. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309625-forgeworld-new-releases-19-06-2015-robute-guillman/#findComment-4093276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hmm. Good point, I thought he was the same price as Horus. Although the extra £3 is easier to swallow than Sigi being £14 more than similar models.

Fire Golem Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't know why they've stopped doing the 'Genisis of a Primarch' videos where they actually talk about the design process and decisions they made, I found them really interesting.

They stopped doing that a while ago, around the same point they stopped publishing the designer of the models in the description. Not sure why the decision was made, could be for many reasons. I like to think that it was more of a collaboratie process rather than one designer doing all the work, but we'll probably never get a straight answer on that one.

Yeah I know it was a while ago, Curze's video was just a showcase too. Even if it was a collaboration they still could talk about the decisions they made. We probably won't know, no; it's just a bit annoying.

Everyone else are basicly standing on runins, so i guess he gets to stand on not ruins because he didn't get hit particularly hard?

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't know what rationale is behind it, but his marble plogs all look to be rather pristine Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309625-forgeworld-new-releases-19-06-2015-robute-guillman/#findComment-4093358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 His 40mm version just looks ridiculous; I can't wait for someone to make Imperial Statuary out of him by painting him as stone. His sculpt works very well on display, but as a gaming piece looks completely out of place Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309625-forgeworld-new-releases-19-06-2015-robute-guillman/#findComment-4093412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sculpt works very well on display, but as a gaming piece looks completely out of place This has already been done on the large display piece in the Warhammer World Exhibition Centre, towards the top of the tower they've taken a 3-up of Guillman and made it a large statue overseeing the fortress that is being overrun by the followers of Khorne.

Lord Tharand Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The model is definitely cool. And yeah, he does have a nice pristine base but I think that's because they're trying to show him as the statesman and not the warrior. I personally like it because it's different and the marble looks cool.

Vazzy Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Awesome! And yet the price is a bit surprising. I'll likely still get it, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309625-forgeworld-new-releases-19-06-2015-robute-guillman/#findComment-4093815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Exactly how I wanted to see him, apart from the strange paint job on the face. He looks strained but that may have been intentional. Great model all round though! OK, just saw the video and he looks amazing in 360. He seems more solid. I like him even better now, well done forgeworld!

tdemayo Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I like the model, but I'm not fond of the base either. I'm tempted to buy one and give it a new base.

Daemon2027 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not really a fan of this model tbh. Feels very meh. As for his base, with the exception of Nuceria, and the ship based combat above Calth, what combat did Guiliman see during the Heresy?

Sons of Horus Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I was expecting a model as epic as the cover of Know No Fear (but not on the surface of a ship).

Corswain Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I like the stoicism. It must be very hard to convey character through these sculpts and i think they have done a really good job so far!

Relict Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Man, I just got the deja vu feeling from this one. Probably has something to do with the fact that I binge-watched HBO's Rome not long ago. I like it. Guilliman has always been characterized as a statesman first and the a warrior second. The armor is perfect. I know the sword is based on a Roman gladius (which is a short sword), but still I wish it could had been a little larger. The face looks good (I wish I could paint bare heads that well) - definitely in line with his FW artwork, going with the very patrician "Roman" look. I think 1d4chan summed it up best: "His face just screams 'I'm surrounded by plebeians.'" :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309625-forgeworld-new-releases-19-06-2015-robute-guillman/#findComment-4098503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I like the gladius/fist combo. Get in close, skewer them and punch them in the face. Very statesman-like!
