Horus Heresy Traitor Overseer Consul

[lokkorex]

I need this model in my life.

 

Wonder how the traitor and loyalist version would look with swapped arms? The whip doesn't look to chaos-y.

[Wispy]

The head is kinda what I was looking for an idea of Samurai themed Space Marines, an Oni mask type thing.

Traitorcels be seething over Loyalistchads

Both the Overseer models have been great, I think this one beats out the loyalist model but there's not a lot in it. Really love the helmet head, would certainly pick this guy up if I start some kind of traitor project

This one looks like a really good pick for Chaos Cult players that like their Dark Apostles a couple degrees less Word Bearer-y. Or their Word Bearers Dark Apostles a bit more whippy.

Agreed. It's making me rethink my no-marines Chaos army.

I think you could make the exception and throw this guy in without breaking theme - much in the same way as (IMHO) you could field an "all damned" army in 40K using the CSM codex and include a dark apostle without breaking theme.

 

Plus, on those occasions you want to go 100% purist, you can always take him out.

The new model would be great in a Lost & Damned army from 3rd 40K. There is lots of traitor scum and mutants in such a force so someone is needed to keep the slackers motivated.

Just happened to be flicking through Codex: Eye of Terror the other day and couldn't agree more!

The only thing that bothers me about it is I can't think of a good justification for why a Space Marine in such a force would settle to just being the enforcer rather than it's warlord.

I'm not familiar with the army list you would be using (I don't play 30K and don't really know anything about list creation), but is it possible to field the enforcer as your warlord?  That would make the most sense.

 

Or if not, if you could field a second Marine, the enforcer could be his lieutenant, keeping the rable in line while his superior works on tactics and strategy.

[beefeb]

both loyalist and traitor versions are excellent....showing that mk6 is still, and always will be, the best looking power armour by far!

[Ripper.McGuirl]

For those that don’t play Heresy, this dude is basically there to allow you to take Solar Aux or Militia in your otherwise fully marine army. He allows you to take up to 3 squads and must be in one of them.

The codex entry for the model read in the Lost & Damned as Chaos Champion. He would be the leader of the force. Why he would lead them is for the player to decide. Given reasons in the book were CSM who left their legion and wanted to rule on their own as despots and/or mysterious orders straight from the Chaos Gods. 

 

Mine was a Nurgle Chaos Champion who led a plague zombie horde. And as a funny fact he managed to kill himself often with his plasma pistol because champions only had one wound.  :)

Anyway, fantastic looking model, I can see that being a great conversion base for a 40K era Chaos Marine (or particularly brutal looking Loyalist).

[Cleon]

I'm not sure which one i prefer (or if I'd get one and swap a few bits) - I like elements of this guy, but he's a bit too Sons of Horus - perhaps a head swap might be enough
