(and master of rites which doesn't make any sense imo)

The position of Master of Rites is part of the 6th captaincy, that's why he has it.

I never liked when marines had that chin strap. It mostly (but not exclusively)appears on tank commanders. Is he a tanker?

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 

 

I was so disappointed when the White Consuls finally got a character sculpt, and instead of the White Angel we got Captain Who Cares. Would have been a perfect opportunity to release Marduk for the heretics too!

He's getting a series of novels, apparently. 

 

I'm sure we'll soon find out that he was instrumental in many Imperium victories and political accomplishments lol

 

Isn't Uriel Ventris a Black Library character as well? He's stuck around and his rules seem to be a permanent fixture now.

I was a bit surprised that Titus doesn't seem to be a permanent inclusion and is not available on the official GW website.

 

I think these famous and popular characters shouldn't be limited in any way.

 

I have no issue with another character for the Ultras, but in my opinion all of the codex chapters should have a minimum of 3 unique characters, or 2 characters and a unique infantry/vehicle unit.

I agree and would like to add: every craft world, kabal, cult, coven, ork clan, forge world, chaos legion, sept, etc etc etc

Bring on more variation in each army!

I can understand he got a character of course, as he has history in the BL and all that. But he's not for me.

[ArielRSA]

I like the model but feel it would be better if they followed the artwork showing him standing with his hands resting on the thunderhammer in front of him for his book. 

 

Will definitely get though

[Robbienw]

Uriel Ventris got a model long after he became popular in BL novels (not counting the very poor BL diorama version of course).

 

This guy seems to be getting one before he gets any significant popularity or profile.  Bit like the Minka Lesk models.  Nice models, but the main reaction is - Who?

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. 

yes indeedy....my first company use silver trim....looks far better to me personally!

 

 

i am however still waiting on a Cato Sicarius model....hes been waiting far longer than any other and has a multitude of books he appears in.

Had to Google "Der Woche."

 

It would have been more appropriate if it meant what I thought it did.

[Northern Walker]

Nice model, not a character I'd have chosen to get one.

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

 

 

In Insignium Astartes the 6th Co is more of a coppery color than true orange. Although there is an image of a shoulder pauldron later in the book that is hard orange.

Decent enough model but I have to echo the sentiment that, with the many, many, many BL characters people actually want to get models (Ciaphas Cain, Jurgen and Amberly Vail for starters) this seems like a very strange choice.

It sounds like he already was in one

My guess is 11th edition Ultramarine release.

It’s pushing Dawn of Fire, and someone at BL really wants DoF to be more than it was, in my opinion.

 

DoF was wasted as a weak retcon of Psychic Awakening’s purpose.

Come on! I literally just finished my kitbash of him a couple weeks ago!
