New Ultramarines Praetors! 40K usage

[Prot]

I managed to get the Preator, Termie Captain, some Praetor breacher shields, and I've been waiting a long time to order some arms for my Leviathan that is still new in the box... so going against the grain I ordered a pair of Gravflux Bombard arms. I think these could be really cool. Especially with an upgraded Techmarine and a couple of flanking Dreads/Contemptors.

 

I'm going to take this to a new thread for fun so I don't muddy this one too much.

[roryokane]

Curses. Stumbled out of my long day at the hospital to find the terminator had sold out. Grumble grumble grumble.

[Aspecti]

Both Praetors seem to be available on Forgeworld right now, at least when ordering from Finland.

NOICE

 

Snag one !

I built the Cataphractii Praetor earlier this evening and I must say it was delightful to put together. I built it stock as I didn't want to be messing about with it, but it looks great.

 

And everyone knows Paragon blades and Relic Blades are cooler than Thunder Hammers anyway! Combi meltas are equally groovy.

 

I might buy another and do some conversion work on it but I do already have a great model for different weapon sets likely I won't bother.

 

The power armoured Praetor will likely become a Chapter Champion very soon too. :)

Sweet !

Great stuff. If you get the chance, would you mind sharing some size comparison pictures? I've been umming and ahhing about whether to pick up the Cataphractii Praetor for conversion purposes, and wanted to know whether it's noticeably larger than the plastics; and how it compares with Primaris marines.

[Captain Idaho]

I'm struggling to use the gallery here to host pics. Someone once suggested another hosting site, what could you suggest?

 

I don't think he's too big though. There's definitely a bit of size increase but it's mqnageable I reckon. Mostly his mass is very large. (Proportions)

[phoenix01]

I'm still waiting for them to ship mine.

[derLumpi]

Mine were shipped on Monday. 6 days for delivery, I hope they are here by Saturday. :)

[Captain Idaho]

Here's a cool link which shows the size difference between models. I don't think it's that bad for the Terminator version though the power armoured version is notably bigger.

 

Ah fudge that link didn't work as far as I can tell. Let me consult the Techmarine.

My praetors still haven't shipped, I ordered them the morning of the 10th. :(

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Argel Tal still hasn’t shipped either.

[derLumpi]

UPS will deliver on Monday. I hope they arrive before I have to get to work. :-D

[phoenix01]

Still no shipment. I ordered on the tenth. Makes that whole "Ships in 6 business days" thing ring hollow. Anyway, I have my bits for converting the model to a company champion, once it gets shipped. Whenever that may be.

[derLumpi]

Got my delivery today. Those Praetors look awesome! :)

[phoenix01]

I sent off an e-mail complaining about the fact it hasn't shipped yet. I got an auto-response how it would take 7 days for them to respond.

 

 

[derLumpi]

Started the terminator and did a size comparison. 

 

 

[Captain Idaho]

Yeah he's not too big eh. The Praetor in power armour is fairly large however.

[derLumpi]

The power armored is still in the cleaning tub. Will do a size comparison tonight.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Thanks derLumpi :)

[derLumpi]

Power Armour Praetor
At first I thought it was just the pose. But he is bigger. At least half a head bigger than the MK IV from the Calth box. Edited September 28, 2021 by derLumpi

[derLumpi]

Finished

Another size comparison.
Primaris, Praetor, flamer dude from the heroes collection, Calth marine, tactical marine.

Eh it’s not too bad and I’m fine with characters being a bit larger than life compared to the rank and file

[phoenix01]

Finally, it came.
