In quick
succession the contents of the third Triumvirate box set leaked, were
confirmed by GW and now we have high quality pictures of the models.
And I just
don't like Roboute Guilliman. There's a distinct lack of Roman about
him, a distinct lack of... well... this:
Some
characters need restraint and Guilliman is one of them. He's a grand
strategist, a statesman, an emperor in his own right. Also, the
plastic one has a tiny, tiny head. Okay, its not like Space Marine
anatomy has ever worked if you dedicate any thought to it but that is
one tiny blood head.
I just don't
see him as a flaming sword kind of guy.
On the plus
side, Cypher looks fantastic. The armour is baroque, the mismatched
collection of weaponry sells the idea of a roaming, lone crusader.
Hopefully these characters come out some day as individual boxes and
blisters because I='d really like to paint this one.
As for
Voldus he's a nice sculpt of a pretty standard Grey Knights
character. That's not really a criticism, the Grey Knights have a
very fixed aesthetic and there's really no reason to break it for
this character. That said, this is a three character box set for
three factions I don't play and only one blows me away.
Still, I
would love that Cypher model just on his own and will be scouring the
bots stores for him.
