The Perfect Praetor

[dave]

I've been trying to figure out how to convert the sword praetor from the big box to be more 3rd legion, but apparently I don't need to make the effort.

I'm definitely a fan of this model. Has a great beginnings of corruption feel, without being full on EC of 40k. But it could definitely be pushed further in that direction with convertion.

I do love this Praetor model. Everything is so nice and clean. My only issue is I don't like the bare head option but it could easily be swapped with another or just use the helmet version instead.

I am just really happy that other legions are starting to get a praetor for themselves. Can't wait to see the iron warriors one.

I cant get enough of this dude

I like the bare head, but probably wouldn't use it on this guy. Seems like a solid choice for the champion in my second squad of noise marines though.

This is literally the character I wanted to see, but didn't think I'd get, because lucius is coming. And to be fair, there are other legions with fewer options. I'm just always in favour of more generic characters. I'm much less interested in adding Names to my army.

I have settled on my paint scheme finally, but still trying to pick a basing method for my EC. Hopefully I'll be ready for this guy by the time he releases.

Yeah the non helmet version is completely slaneesh but doesn't fit a praetor feel. If it had a half cut of hair or something to make it 'more' I might see it.

Can't wait to see these get tainted up in all the fantastic colours of Slaneesh.

Another EC character? I think we're starting to get excessive. Now I know who's going to lead my phoenix terminators (if they ever arrive).

Emperor's Children didn't have any of the generic characters that most other legions do, and I was trying to figure out how to get ahold of a tartaros consul. This guy looks great. Basically a fancier phoenix terminator and I'm good with that.

GW has decided to punish me for not picking EC it seems lmao

[artonas]

It’s so nice!

Helmet looks like some of the exo suites the Elites from halo wore.

[chrisallen]

Okay that new model is amazing...

[southstafford]

They can design amazing looking figures like these two but screw up Space Wolves accessories

[ItsBird]

this is a SW wolfhelmet stan account

[dave]

I've never been a fan of space wolves in 40k because of the over the top wolf theme. I thought space marine vikings sounded cool, but then I saw the models. Seemed like GW didn't know how to show "viking" and just doubled down on wolf pelts, wolf sleds, cyber wolves, and wolfman mutants.

Seems like they couldn't think beyond the obvious for the new 30k either.

Oh well, I'm sure some people will love them.

I'm not sure how Pigeon feels. I recognize the words, but I do not know their meaning.

The Dwarf Ironbreaker/Irondrake kit and the Hammerer/Longbeard kit are perfect for bits for 30k space wolves.

That's fair lol. Personally I love the wolf aesthetic. I understand wanting a little more viking but I think the wolf helmets have more style than any other chapter specific helm.
