Horus Heresy Loyalist Overseer Consul

[Marshal Loss]

Looks great, love it, will pick this up for sure. Reads as a Chaplain to me though which is what I suspect most people will use it as

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

That is a lovely model.

That's an interesting Mk VI variant. Reminds me of this:

What I really like about this guy is he's just fancy enough to stand out as a consul, but flexible enough with current bits to be other specialties than just overseer. His body positioning and arms are flexible. Easy conversions: Chaplain as is, Champion w/ mace replaced with paragon blade/power weapon from melee upgrade/praetor, Herald with banner from command upgrade, Delagatus with spare weapons.

 

I think I want to convert him to a Herald, using the big banner from the command squad upgrade kit and a hand holding the helmet, replace the head, and snipping the backpack banner either to leave as "bare" or add a Salamanders brazier from their primaris upgrade kit.

I like him. I would probably swap the helmet, but it is otherwise a cool model. I am still torn on weather or not I want to buy more FW resin when I was so burned by it in the past. 

Newer stuff is fine. I grabbed the EC praetors, Lucius and fulgrim and honestly zero issues. I get very fussy when paying fw prices and I honestly had no issues. Didn't even need to bend the spear for the praetor. 

 

Miles ahead of the old fw kits.

Okay is it just me or does that breastplate look pretty MK VII ish with the exposed cabling?

Sometimes I wonder to myself, why do I even like the Horus Heresy?  I already know how it ends.  It's using old rules, like it's the Windows XP of Warhammer.

 

Then I look at miniatures like this and I'm like, oh, right, that's why I like the Horus Heresy.

i collect all of GW's model lines and don't play any of them. Rules come and go but a nicely modeled and painted mini is forever.

I concur. I want to do Warcry and Kill Team, but never even get time for those

 

I would love to turn this guy into a 40k chaplain. I wonder how well a Reiver helm would go with him?

For the record, the SoH Overseer from the Beta-Garmon book may clue us in as to what we should expect from the Traitor version:

 

presuming the pose doesnt end up too bad, and swapping the whip with a crozius proves easy enough, it's *this* guy that's probably gonna be the basis for my loyalist IF chaplain, albeit with a headswap and replacing the backpack's ornamentation. I like the loyalist overseer, but the trim and decorations are a bit too fancy for him to make a chaplain in my opinion. I want my chaplain, even heresy era, to have a bit of dour brutishness to him, so the chainmail, chained greave, skull, and spiked pauldron seen here are all perfect for the IF chaplain I'd like to make.

It’s not a bad miniature, and the throwback to RT unit markings is nice, but it does just feel a bit like they toned down the Gothic on a chaplain and said “that’ll do”.

[Xenith]

Decent model, plenty of character which is great. 

[Brother Navaer Solaq]

Nice model.
