Aradiel Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Considering the quality of the DA stuff from FW i expected the Lion to look good, and i am not disapointed. I might actually consider getting it, despite my dislike for resin and FW tipical overpricing. I wonder that now that the Lion is in 30K, will GW relese him for 40K. I would gladly wait for that instead. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362852-the-lion-comes/page/2/#findComment-5497833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'm getting two. One as a display piece, one as a gaming piece (the latter will be magnetized).  My issue: Helmet or bare head for the display piece?  Considering the quality of the DA stuff from FW i expected the Lion to look good, and i am not disapointed. I might actually consider getting it, despite my dislike for resin and FW tipical overpricing. I wonder that now that the Lion is in 30K, will GW relese him for 40K. I would gladly wait for that instead. If Guilliman's model in 40k is any indication.... I'll prefer Lion's 30k model over his eventual 40k version thank you very much. Not a fan of the ridiculously over filigreed Guilliman model. The more restrained 30k model is way better. FarFromSam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362852-the-lion-comes/page/2/#findComment-5497839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtariOnzo Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Loving the look and the alternate options. Will be getting one and magnetising it for sure Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362852-the-lion-comes/page/2/#findComment-5497843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Why not bare helmet with a watcher carrying the helmet?? I'd need a bigger Watcher. The Lion's helmet might be a bit too large for a regular Watcher to carry :lol: Â .... Maybe a Nazgul model?

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) He is good. Cannot wait to paint him.

FarFromSam Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Perfect. Cool options, cool armor. Couldn't ask for more. I don't even care if they give us the usual rules trash. I'm so very pleased.

Vexillia Primus Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Love this model, beautiful sculpt. Hope I don't derail this thread, but I need to throw this out there. Holguin is Cypher. The Lion's blade hilt and handle are the exact same as the one on the recent Cypher model, and we all know Holguin was given the Lion's blade to take care of after it was broken by Bobby G. Just my take on it after seeing the Lion. Can't wait to get him.

Skywrath Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) YEAH! Now hopefully the 40k version of the Lion won't be too far behind! Were there any news when he will be available to purchase?

jaxom Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Obligatory and heartfelt praise for the model.  Some interesting stuff came up in the conversation with Andy Hoare following the reveal.  The Lion's primarch keywords are: Resolve Virtue Ruthless Efficient Tactical & Strategic Valorous Monster Hunter (Knight Errant - his role in the Crusade)  The Lion didn't ask many questions about being requested to deploy to Thramas because it played into him being Virtuous, punishing the criminals, laying the Emperor’s judgement down.  The Wolf Blade rules are designed to play up the Monster Hunter (hence the +3 Str to get to Str 10). The Lion Blade was used under normal circumstances, going after characters and infantry.  Love this model, beautiful sculpt. Hope I don't derail this thread, but I need to throw this out there. Holguin is Cypher. The Lion's blade hilt and handle are the exact same as the one on the recent Cypher model, and we all know Holguin was given the Lion's blade to take care of after it was broken by Bobby G. Just my take on it after seeing the Lion. The only thing it confirms is that the new model of Cypher actually carries the Lion Sword. Dark Angel novel spoilers: There's some lines in Gav Thorpe's Dark Angels books that hint at Cypher being Zaharial or possibly Zaharial's psyche in Corswin's body.

G8Keeper Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Wow. I don't think I've been so excited to get my hands on a mini in a long time. My 30k DA project might just be starting back up.

Vexillia Primus Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I know it doesn't confirm anything, was just my theory. For all we know, there might be two or more Cyphers (one appointed by Luthor and one by the Lion).

Brother Dimetrius Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 My my. I wasn't going to do 30k Dark Angels, was going to keep them my 40k army. I like my 30k Ultramarines, but this release has really been knocking it out of the park. There is no doubt now.

Dwango Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Started with the hobby in the 90s and left, as you do, for quite a number of years before really getting back into it a few years ago. The heresy always intrigued me then and I was delighted when I discovered forgeworld had designed miniatures for this setting. Since then my hobby world has been leading up to this moment! It seems like an age has passed! I have been elated at the new releases and the Lion has really blown me away. All hobby resources for this year will be going towards finishing my First Legion force. Can wait for the release! Â I would also like to echo a previous post. Can't wait to see what Lostrael does with it!

jbaeza94 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I really want him! But I'm afraid I wouldnt be able to do him justice! He'd be a show piece only, I dont play 30k and dont intend to start either. Â Would I paint him in 30k colors or 40k successor colors?? Questions questions! He'd be a good stand in for when 40k Lion gets released! Itll probably be the better sculpt anyways Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362852-the-lion-comes/page/2/#findComment-5497993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
