Horus Heresy Loyalist Herald Consul

[Lord Marshal]

And some staff paint jobs, which might suggest he isn't far away:

 

 

Traitor version next week, probably:

The Loyalist Herald Consul is made from Forge World resin and will be available later in the year. We’ll have another Consul next week – but his flag isn’t nearly so shiny…

It's a really nice model, but can't help but think there were other things that would've been better, especially since you already get bits enough in the command box for this

[DemonGSides]

Extremely cool prosthetic. 

[Torvak Kyre]

Wish he was in terminator armour, another way of building a power armoured herald feels surplus to requirements

[CL_Mission]

Glad they showed them of in a few different colours, the Ultramarine's one looks lovely. Hits a good spot for me in terms of flashy-ness but I think they could have got away with a little more bling, love the simple sash across the torso though.

I feel exactly the same.  Still, very cool model.

 

Edit: also, love that bare head!

Cool model, but as others already said, not really needed. I'll probably get one though and make a champion out of him :)

[Casual Heresy]

I can see this guy being used for a lot of character conversions. Love the pose, bionic leg and bare head. will be adding him to the 'get' pile.

[Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf]

Not bad, not bad at all. The banner looks like a bit small, for Warhammer standards I mean.

The only two "but", at least for me, are:

-FW model, so it's terrible expensive for what is it

-And again two separate sets (Loyal and Traitor) instead one set with materials to assemble any of the two.

 

Anyway, in my opinion, it's a nice model.

[Halandaar]

Yeah the bionic leg and bare head are cool, but the banner feels pretty weak considering the options in the plastic kit.

Exactly.

Maybe I am just behind the times... what is the significance of the blue/yellow marking on the Dark Angel's right kneepad?

Propably a campaign marking or similar.

[grailkeeper]

Was the prosthetic in a rumour engine?

I'd have to check book 9 on what they said, but I think it's a company marking of some kind. The decal on it denotes that he's a Terran veteran though.

 

I vaguely remember using that exact marking/colors (blue/yellow split field) on some models, or considering it at least, so I don't think it's out of nowhere.

It's similar to this one 

[WrathOfTheLion]

Yep, I just found that when I went and looked, page 124 in book 9.

[RedFox]

Wow! Simply stunning! 

 

Edit: I find the command squad banner ridiculously big! I think a smaller one is more practical for a HQ with a power fist.

They really should do a kit with parts like this to add to characters or sprinkle around in squads. I almost feel like they did at one point, but I may just be thinking of an Iron Hands kit…

[DemonGSides]

Yeah I think the iron hands upgrade sprue at one point had a bunch of robo prosthetics. Its a fun way to denote some veterancy without overloading the accolades. Sometimes a sgt is just gonna be a bit grizzled.

you could say the same about 40k death guard "character" units....

There was a forgeworld character kit years ago that came with a couple of bionics 

[Mr Farson]

Nice model

 

The flag being too small for a legion banner decal is annoying.

 

 

[Matcap86]

Huh, not sure about this one. But can't quite put down why that is... 

[SvenIronhand]

Disappointing. I think the flags in the Command Squad box and the Primaris Ancient are far better than that dinky little thing. I get that they were shooting for a Roman signifer sort of vibe, but they wildly missed the mark.
