tychobi Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Leaks are lame. model is ok. All the cloth and purity seals don't really read right for me. Looks more Sigmar than Space marine as well. zarkkarn and Jolemai 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have reduced the design on the legs somewhat, but then that could be overly shaded when painted.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 He looks like a depiction of Hermes. I'm not mad at it. Won't bring me back to 40k but will buy the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I like it... bar the helm. Youd near think someone took his old helm and a new primaris one with an angle grinder... and... not overly craftmansly combined... i want though.

Blindhamster Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I don’t get the hate for fins lol, it actually is a sensible thing on the newer jump pack designs as it’s those that would give a lot of the manoeuvrability Marshal Reinhard, Noserenda, Metzombie and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Knight Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 So... He is definitely Primaris. This was one particular character who was branded "high risk" for crossing the Rubicon. Now that he has done so, it's time for everyone to do so. The jump pack looks like the one in the Space Marine 2 trailer and art. This must be the MkX Jump Pack that will probably appear on all Tacticus units going forward. I like it, but only about as much as the old one. The model in general is simply a vast improvement over the old one. There really is no comparison. Just the dimensions alone - the old model looks like a child in fancy dress. It's just comically bad and I think GW waited too long to update him! Realistically Logan Grimnar needs to be updated next. I would say that he's probably at the top of the list for big characters at this point, but perhaps he can wait as his model was the most recent of all the named Chapter Masters prior to 8th edition?

A lot of stuff in 40k has to be taken at face value that it just works. Even with Dante here, he would need something to keep him from cartwheeling forwards onto his face whenever he fires those back-facing rockets, but we assume whatever he has on him is enough to control his movements in every direction.

Nephaston Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Ah, well, they have a week to figure something out for adepticon if they do indeed pull their dante reveal ahead. Or they could get their warehouse woes fixed so they don't have to deal with something like this. Now has our dear leaker sprue pics, or did he just assemble it immediately with no patience to milk this for all it's worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETA already has an injunction in place preventing those poor wolves from having to haul around a Primaris version of the Great Wolf. Although there was a clause in there somewhere about expanding the team. I believe it's officially known as "the Donner and Blitzen Provision."

The reason for most of the Primaris hate among us haters. We never asked for fancy fins or He-man marines. We like big rocket boosters and simple shapes and cables and studs.

lansalt Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Agreed, those little anime mecha fins are totally out of place in SM aesthetics, even more than heavy stubbers.

Orange Knight Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Moving on. I am REALLY curious about the datasheet that might have come with this model - We don't know for certain if one did. It's possible that this is a 10th edition release. Imagine if the datasheet could allude to the rules and profiles in the next edition?

sockwithaticket Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Meh. Of course it was never going to happen, but it would've been far more interesting to leave a character as pivotal as Dante as a regular marine and still update him. Same critiques as a few others, head looks weirdly small, calf sculpts are absurd and the pose is off.

The question is, if they do that, and with him being most likely one of the Adepticon reveals, do they fit something else to reveal into his spot of the preview, or just cut that part entirely? I'm betting on the latter. That's if they don't stick to their guns and ignore the leak, of course, but I'm not sure I find that likely.

Compare with shrike maybe? I think M14 is a given, but upgrading the axe to D3 and or giving his Inferno Pistol D6+2 all the time maybe (effectively always hits as if under half range melta weapon)? An additional attack compared to other chapter masters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 So I think the ear bits on the helmet were too much. The jump pack, I am okay with but I might just buy the old one and slap it on this one. It's alright for a primaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
