StrangerOrders Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) First SM preview for the box I feel positive about, GW seems to have a pretty comfortable time putting out good looking Chapies. A bit twitchy about it all relying on the thin smoke column though...

darkhorse0607 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Decent enough, have the same complaint that I do of the newer Terminator chaplain where the legs have trim, the shoulders/jump pack have trim, but the chest plate is largely bare. It just makes it feel weirdly balanced from a detail perspective for me Not planning on picking up the box but if he comes out separately I think painting the rims of the shoulderpads gold would help No Foes Remain 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387825-new-chaplain-with-jump-pack/#findComment-6167292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RTB01 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Why's he got smoke coming out the sole of his boot? I don't understand that. Lovely mini otherwise. Looking forward to seeing one of the most strategically important parts of an ork force next week, grot.

Nephaston Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Love how the article re-iterates how you can paint this one as any chapter you want. Surely this will help with the wave of posts on social media asking if they have to paint their Armageddon box marines as BA.

MoriyaSchism Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Mostly just okay. I dislike the loincloth and the fact the jump pack looks like it has pauldrons of its own. I still have issues with the helmets on most of the recent Chaplain models, they look too soft.

sitnam Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 He's fine, does his job of being a modern jump-pack chaplain. Just, like everything else Marines in this box, kinda boring. Everything so far has been a retread on old concepts. I wanna see something akin to the Indomitus Bladeguard or Leviathan Apothecary Inquisitor lorr, Lord Marshal and Kenzaburo 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387825-new-chaplain-with-jump-pack/#findComment-6167297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawnis Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Does anyone else think that the vertical center crest and the side swiped grooves in his chest plate make it look rather Necrony?

NovemberIX Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The pose makes it look like he's been launched out of a rocking chair. I like the detail on the bolter and some of the extra bits on the backpack, but by and large it's kinda meh to me.

Rusted Boltgun Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Is that a bat on his skull? Like him a lot. Going to show it to Boltgun Jr and see if he takes the bait for the marine half of this box. Fortunately, he's a better painter than 12 year old me. I can just imagine the mess I would have made of that Chaplain...

There is a smoke grenade beneath the rock trailing up. He's also on descending, so he just happens to be floating into the smoke trail.

Casual Heresy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Love him. Very obviously follows the modern design language of a Chaplain but with some unique bling. I'll end up with two thanks to trades so will happily add them to my BA and UM. He'll as usual look even better painted by others, not just the Eavy Metal team. I know I'll be painting that smoke as fire rather than this Caspar the friendly ghost thing they've gone with.

Hellath Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I really like this miniature. It checks all the right boxes for chaplains, while still being a relatively accesible model to paint for a starter box - and hopefully to put together too, but we haven't seen the sprues yet.

Well, both are designed to be rib cages, so there will be similarities. And the sternum will be the ideal spot to place detail, though I get what you mean.

grailkeeper Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 There was someone who once made a space marine chapter based on old diving suits. The smoke under the foot could be used as a bubble effect to show someone under water.

A bit twitchy about it all relying on the thin smoke column though... Looking at the angle of the foot and the ruin, it might be possible to trim out the smoke and have the foot directly on the ruins in a "leaping" pose. I am not worried about the structural strength as the smoke looks about at thick as the foot anyway. I just don't like the smoke effects in general. Overall it is a really good model. I am actually thinking I might proxy him as Lemartes as I don't actually like the Primaris Lemmy model. This one looks much closer the previous version of the character.

Antarius Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Now we're cooking with promethium! I really like this Chaplain (but of course, I already have a couple of Chaplains I really like in my collection. None with a jump pack though, so this should be a nice addition).
