dice4thedicegod Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 As he’s Dante’s no2, presumably we can expect another primaris lieutenant miniature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 And one of my favorite shorts, Dante fights a chaos chronomancer. Silly chaos sorcerer *steals* a huge chunk of Dante's time, only for Dante to laugh it off, and take off his mask, to reveal a still pristine face. And he makes the comment along the lines of what are a few centuries to one who has already lived millenia? I've not read this one! And I thought i'd read all the BA stuff, can you get a name as I must read it! Cheers! Sure thing Blindhamster. Its "Dante, Lord of the Host", by James Swallow, published as part of GW's space marine short stories for Christmas 2013. And its very much a short story, but its good.

Panzer Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Plot twist, Mephiston was secretly a Primaris experiment Just no. Primaris are fine but not everything cool has to have ties to them. Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Plot twist, Mephiston was secretly a Primaris experiment Just no. Primaris are fine but not everything cool has to have ties to them. Agreed. For me mephiston is an excellent example of someone that shouldn't get the upgrade. Because from what we have seen, his physiology has changed with him being similar to a primarch by being full of energy, his is black fiery energy instead or light but the point stands. Although I suppose a plot twist of the primarch organ that primaris have that only kind of works getting fully activated within mephiston if he were to be given it... would give BA what would effectively amount to a totally new primarch I suppose.

Considering Mephiston is my favourite BA character him becoming what's basically a full fledged Primarch equivalent would be pretty awesome ... though I still expect the Sanguinor to be that kind of character eventually. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I still think Mephiston should be upgraded. Even if it's something different. You want him to eventually be compatible with the Primaris units, vehicles, etc I can easily imagine a model on par with the new Abaddon.

dread05 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 They can make a primaris Dante and then sell him in a box with a new Mephiston and new Sanguinor model, thats my dream. No need to be a primaris Mephiston, just a new model. I know asking for a new Lemartes is too much, but those 3 definetly need it!

Panzer Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 He should definitely get a new model, yeah. Doesn't have to be anything Primaris though. Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTheLion Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Definitely a fantastic model and a great update. Hoping he can lead my Lamenters too! Will grab him either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 yeah the more I look at him, the more I like him. Very nice update IMO. Now he just needs some new Sanguinary Guard to lead.

WrathOfTheLion Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The wait for DA and BA seems to have paid off. If everything is like this, they'll retain a really strong visual identity and get some really outstanding models.

Majkhel Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) We have a look at the new Infantry JP too. Old SG in the background though Edited March 16, 2023 by Majkhel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The video does a good job of showing him off well, he looks really good I think, like others, I might replace the base, but may actually keep the head now, possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I have to say, something is off with his pose for me. Same as with Sanguinius really. It's hard to say what type of movement is he in. Right leg is bent strangely. Right arm and loin cloth I would imagine in a more defined movement too. Also I feel the mask's expression looks kinda grumpy. Like a theatrical mask. Older one was better IMO. Would rather have something more like on that artwork: Spoiler EDIT: But I like the armor and Axe Mortalis!
