WH40k game 2023 Event-Exclusive Miniature – The Commissar’s Duty

[TrawlingCleaner]

 

Quote

From the 41st Millennium comes The Commissar’s Duty. This vignette depicts an absolutely iconic scene – an Astra Militarum Commissar with his sword planted in the battlefield rubble, standing tall as he delivers the Emperor’s Justice. Is he aiming at a foe, or at a Guardsman who needs to be made into an example?

He looks familiar.

Well, he's just a slightly better model than the new Commissar, but harder to get hold of.... hooray I guess?

[Jukkiz]

this should been one in cadia stands box

[Hfran Morkai]

I like how he is carrying another pistol, looks more like a Laspistol, for when he's out of Bolt rounds? Haha.

 

I quite like the sculpt. 

[Cyrox]

Now thats a commissar!

 

Hat is a bit small but the older version of that pose was my favourite, so i like this one a lot

[Hfran Morkai]

Actually I've just noticed, he doesn't appear to be looking where he's aiming his pistol but it may just be a result of the photo angle.

There's a lot more I like on this commissar than the new one that is coming:

• The coat is open, showing a bit more detail, rather than the other one which is buttoned down and very plain.
• I love the pose. Not just the bolt pistol outstretched in a standing pose, but the book that he's holding behind his back.
• I love a sword buried in a rock. 
• It's a great facial expression, he's so grumpy.

Gonna get me that one

[Ramell]

I guess I'll have to visit ebay.

I think that's, in part at least, because the eyes are painted to look straight ahead, instead of a little to the right. He's pretty much staring right at the camera.

[grailkeeper]

He's trying to miss.

Maybe, makes sense. Faces were my least favourite thing to paint when I last was painting, especially eyes so I could forgive that.

What a great model

[Halandaar]

Like that a lot, nice plastic do-over of an already good design and yay for no Marine event exclusive. Might have to try and get one of those.

[Emperor Ming]

Tiny hat syndrome

 

Still, its a better model than the hideous other new commissar

[FarFromSam]

Tiny hat? Looks good!

[Doghouse]

Now that I like a lot! 

 

Just noticed the unplugged power cable for the sword, that is a really nice touch.

[Evil Eye]

That's a very nice miniature. The tactical rubble needs to go but whatever. Shame it's an event exclusive.

[Noserenda]

Ooh yeah this and the barbarian are just two very nice sculpts

[WARMASTER_]

Oh yeh he’s great! I just I prefer the other one coming out but you can never have to many I guess

Try 40k Warhammer and general Wargames Trip Loot Sharing on Facebook. It's a group dedicated to helping people avoid scalpers on eBay by picking stuff up for other people in the group at events.

Sweet mini !!

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

It’ll be on eBay and Amazon soon enough.

[GenerationTerrorist]

He can't even bear to look into the eyes of the coward/heretic he is about to execute.

 

Unless he is looking at me, and about to turn the gun in my direction.
