sairence Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I might try to replace the gunner on the outside with a servitor, if I don't leave him entirely. Also saw the suggestion to leave the Stubber and put a Commissar on there instead, which I find hillarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I dont see the issue with the turret gunner potentially capping the tank commander, dont pop your head out in front of a gun when its being used, only themselves to blame if they loose their heads. sairence and Dezron 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like those primaris landspeeder's turret, or that stationary gun with a damned full size spacemarine. Now this poor guy have to operate a damn stabber outside of the armour. Why don't they put a lousy servoskull like at Aegis' gun-placement or a servitor there? Servoskulls aren't 'lousy' they're rarer and more respected than the average guardsman and unlike servitors it can be an honour to get a chance to end up as one. Servitors are also rarer than infantry. Skitari vehicles do have servitors which isn't an inconsistancy it just means the Admech is hogging them.

That could make the Dorn larger than in the comparison image with the Russ. Indeed, I suspect this is likely the case. However any difference is probably relatively small. So for an early comparison it gives us an idea I suspect it's probably within 10-15% of actual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ooer missus) Its gonna look good with the turret swapped out for a Tiger II one. The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Personally, I love it! It looks soo good. I’ve been saving a couple Tank Commanders so I reckon I’ll get 2 if the kit is as good as it appears. Question is, skirts or road wheels? duz_ and Captain Caine 24th 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 On a whole I like this model. (More than I appreciated the Dorn at least) I think I might attempt replacing the points on the helmet with a plume though. The rules tease was pretty dull.... Wonder what his other rules are?

Diagramdude Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The turret gunners sitting outside the armor have a better field of view. It’s the same reason why space marine sergeants take their helmet off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenScorpion Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Although the model looks nice, it all seems too similar to warhammer fantasy/AOS to truly make it a clear 40k model, even considering it is a mechanical horse. The pistol looks something taken from the warhammer fantasy cavalry and the lack of augmentations makes it somewhat strange to me. It does raise the tactical rock to a whole new level though duz_, Dark Legionnare, Shamansky and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War of the Eagle Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 *rubs chin* wonder if I can convert a Traitor gaurdsman onto a Jugernaught as a proxy for this guy... either that or a head and sword swap and lots of rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels way too heavy on the AoS vibes for my tastes.... The "halo helmet" looks way out of place. Hoping there's alternate heads with "less AoS aesthetics." A modern scaled refresh of the Macharius (infantry lord, not tank) would've been a slam dunk, IMO. Like, a model that's basically the cover of the book (minus the wings of course): Can even give him a tactical plinth as a 40 or 50mm base type character model. Something elegant like Horus' OG statuary base from HH. Edited October 31, 2022 by Dark Legionnare Shamansky 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialWarrior Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 They clearly wanted a character that could keep up with RRs. for me I would have preferred something like the SoB pulpit, with a tactical display, and plasma cannon that can’t overheat, with a toned down pistol would have been more fitting imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started building the Sister pulpit for my Fortress of Arrogance, with Yarrick inside it. I can easily make it dual-purpose. The base is awesome...walking over a destroyed Chaos titan is just A Statement. So I'll probably find some robo-legs to glue to it, and then I can swap the magnetised pulpit between it or the Baneblade, depending what I want to run. And then my armies will be led by Yarrick instead of Karl Franz. duz_ and ImperialWarrior 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I really like it, think it's a brilliant sculpt. One guy on a horse leading a load of tanks, and grunts with laser rifles is very 40k to me. duz_ and Sawtooth 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Have to admit, not a fan. It’s gaudy and has a bit of “my little pony” about it. Maybe it’s the colour scheme but I’ll pass on this. Though I was worried about using my Deathrider Squadron Commander but the base is about the same size so I’m good to go!

casb1965 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Not a fan of it but have to bear in mind this is a guy who spends most of his time in the glitz and glamour of Terran nobility and not on the front line with the grunts. So he's going to be shiny and new just to say "look grunts I'm better than you so do as I say" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any kind of tournament table it's going to be nearly impossible to move around.
