I thought all Captains had the gold Trim?

No? Captains wear their company colours. For example, the Uriel Ventris model has green trim, and Captain Centos has red.

Well he looks superb, definitely going to need to grab him whenever he actually becomes available.

Shouldn't he have orange shoulder trim if he's 6th Company Captain?

To my eye it looks like shoulder trim does have an orangey/copper tint to it, but it is very subtle!

All company colours have an acceptable metallic alternative (like gold for the 2nd's correct yellow). That's what they've done here, compare the trims to the gold on the various decorative bits, it's clearly more orangey. 

Really like this model, but as someone who really loves the Ultramarines, I'm still kind of mad that this is coming before someone like Telion, Sicarius  or Cassius that had models and need updates 

 

Oh well  still pretty cool, like the posing and the thunderhammer for sure. Glad its not really undersized like the art on his novel 

Is he the guy from the Dawn of Fire novels?

 

The model is excellent. I'm assuming he'll have unique rules.

 

I'm imagine he'll be a permanent fixture in the range? I guess it makes a bit more sense that the Ultramarines didn't get a character when the other chapter reveals took place. Still... he's not Sicarius, and that guy deserves an update as well.

For me, I think the copper tint for the trim is too subtle, but thats a paint issue,  no big deal. Model looks good, but kinda surprised it's being released soon, and not for a Black Library tie-in. 

 

I haven't read any Dawn of Fire books,  but interesting that there's been two model releases associated with them now, this guy and Messinius.

Yeah, the emotionally stunted guy who worked under Vitrian Messinius before he joined the UM proper. Speaking os Messinius, he previously had a model labeled under Black Library, which is now no longer available as far as I can see. So he might be up for a couple of years before vanishing.

Yeah I vaguely remember him.

 

He wasn't a particularly major character from what I recall lol

He had a novel announced a while back.

He wasn't honestly and even then he's only 6th company captain (and master of rites which doesn't make any sense imo), because he was so good apparently that Guilliman requested it himself

 

It's more of GW saying he's great and important rather than the character being allowed to develop more

Ah, that makes more sense, thank you. Maybe we'll see more novel character models in future then? We still don't have Cain and Jurgen models. 

 

Cain and Jurgen are the most requested book characters iirc, tho the question is would they be in Guard or Inquisitorial Agents? (If the latter, would they come with Amberly as well?)

Who is this nobody? We got years of loved main protagonists characters, fell enemies and supporting characters, so we can have this irrelevant spod?

 

Amazing :laugh:

It feels like BL gets a character slot a year, and the keep spaffing it on whatever they are currently writing it seems
