Daylight Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I absolutely love this model. Has proper bulk but still looks like he can move, which exemplifies mark iii to me. Kind of wish the pauldrons were a bit smaller, but that’s doable as a conversion. Also that helmet style is really doing it for me for some reason.

I might create this IRL now! I don’t know what it is.. but I can’t help but see this guy in your photoshop. Well done, this looks super cool Asbestress, Daemonic Brother, BrainGhostStudios and 4 others 4 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I might shave off the Eyes of Horus and do a second as a Dark Angel. Do that and give him the sergeant helmet from the new Dark Angels upgrades, and it'll look pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This model has so much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halandaar Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I see where people are coming from with the "third party" comments. The plating on the chest and the top of the backpack both feel a bit off, and I suppose what doesn't help is that those things are on top of a "new" MKIII base design which really we're still getting used to. The overall look is quite far removed from the classic MKIII armour we have had up to now (or I suppose, up to the release of Fafnir Rann) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder. I'd love to see new Mk III helmet upgrades, but I'd be kinda surprised to see them when they already made so many before. Some of the old upgrades were for different marks though, so maybe!

CL_Mission Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I feel like the winged helm from the Dark Angels MK.VI helmets would look great on this guy. DemonGSides and WrathOfTheLion 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A round of helmets and shoulder pads for each legion when a new mark comes out is pretty much a given at this point. Cheap to make and help drive sales and are a source of steady releases in the months that nothing comes out in plastic. The roadmap says it all. I'm even pretty sure new mark 3 and 4 are coming before 2 and 5 in order to phase out the older parts. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see mark 5 come out in resin again for reasons.

Valorandomus Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 there are definite design takes from the new mark 3 armour set , i wonder if the Traitor Praetor was made around the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Preators share the larger proportions and same toe armour and bodysuit design but aren't as obvious due to lack of grenades.) for the new mk 6 can't say when they were created but it was def well before the mk6 kit and even Fafnir Rann. It's very clear the three of them were designed in an experimental stage but everything after them was not. Everything that's been shown after them has the same proportions and shared design elements that are clearly premade assets. It's interesting to me cause you can see the evolution of the design and I have to wonder if the designers went with the slightly smaller design for lore reasons or to seperate the entire game from 40k's heroic scale. It was def a conscious decision to make the mark 6 mark 3 and Rann and recent characters the size they are. Another theory I have is they were made around the same time as the Angels Tears and Dark Angels specialist units and the Preators and characters that were designed to be bigger but still in the old style of armour marks but by the main studio using their normal heroic design philosophy (CSM proportions with slightly larger characters like the huge Lord and Master of Possession etc.) well before the announcement the main studio would be taking over. The scale change is something that was definitely in the works for a pretty long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the sole exception of the splitting up and production of the plastic miniatures, everything is still designed, written or otherwise produced inside of the Specialist Games Design Team.

Matcap86 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 What is this for weirdness. They're finding out on the release day that they can't make enough of single character minis for a niche game? At times it really feels like the wheels are coming off at GW.

Noserenda Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Im not sure its tied to their ongoing problems exactly, FW resin was pretty much entirely separate as i understood it? That said im not sure what would delay a resin release a couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
