Xirix Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Nice to see some choom damage on the poor fellow he's standing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Just noticed the cracked tower symbol on his lower waist tassels, that’s really cool. I think Imperial Fists really suit big bruiser type character models. Gamiel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazer Rackham Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 "And those that tasted the fury of his volkite, named him: The Choom Slayer." It's a fabulous model. Been a long time since a GW product trembled my interest. Mechanicus Tech-Support, Urauloth, Xin Ceithan and 2 others 1 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 That gun seems like a nod to the Rogue Trader cover as well. Awesome model, tempting to make into a Dark Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stre4 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Oh look another imperial fists character. Oh and look at all those Raven Guard, Salamanders, Iron Hands and Iron Warriors characters. Great...

Master Commander Ajax Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Pretty cool model. I wonder if the armour he’s wearing is based on an STL for an upcoming Cataphractii refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 His chest design be awesome. Templar like cross turning into a lightning bolt and cleaving a tower? Yes please. painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaiel Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Chonk Boi 2000, looks great. Can see him pointing at the SoH Praetor in terminator armor and shouting "Face me, Mongrel!" MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxichobbit Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Did he shoot a corpse, or do volkite weapons strip all flesh from bones & leave a pristine skull? You can probably make it look ok by painting the skull dark brown/red with an internal red-orange glow with some burnt areas on the ground & armour, but the way they've painted it looks ridiculous.

It is quite silly mistake isnt it, but given the body is also half under a pile of rubble its the 'just been shot and still hot' part thats more wrong. All excusable in a universe where white cloaks only get dirty along the bottom inch and other silly things that are more about fun than reality.

Theyre supposed to cause violent combustion of the body, to the point where it can kill people close enough. So the skull should be gone and it should be an internally charred suit. lansalt 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a pragmatic Imperial Fist. He didn’t assume the skeletonised corpse was no longer a threat, he made sure.

spessmarine Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Sick. I don't mind legion characters in resin. I think the smaller models aren't so bad to work with and price-wise aren't too bad either. For instance, the new legion praetors in Cataphractiic are 50 USD which isn't that far off the rough equivalent of 40 USD for Primaris Gravis HQs. Plastic is obviously nicer to work with, but for the matter of legion-specific characters I think resin is palatable. Hopefully they get back to spreading the love to other legions...

Right with you - that confused me too - I'll definitely be going for the charred embers look for the skull when I paint him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 I think if the Night Lords Leviathan is any indication, they just don't seem to like actually painting gore? SkimaskMohawk, Warden-Paints and RolandTHTG 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShibeKing Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Heartbreaking for me that the legion with some of the coolest models has the paint scheme I can't stand to look at. All in all they did a really good job with this one. Edited April 30, 2023 by ShibeKing WARMASTER_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spessmarine Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 He's likely massive like the IF Praetor right? Amazing that those were in scale with the new 40k Termies all along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studio painting style tries to make every detail stand out and instantly readable. Gore, like blood for the blood god, tends to obscure detail. So they don't use it, and a lot of their more macabre parts end up cartoony. burningsky25, Pork Chop Express and Gamiel 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hmm....
