[Elbows]

Yeah, these are getting better and better...absurdly good.

[Hewlett]

Thanks

@ Curis: No, there will be more... ^^

For example the Redemptor Dread:



The obligatory comparision:

[majorsmith]

That's huge!

[tomrommel1]

[Ultravanillasmurf]

You would not fit a Primark marine in a standard Dreadnought. ^___^

Excellent model.

[JoeRugby]

Lovely paint jobs on the lot dude

It's pronounced Premark.......
(British joke)

First I heard of it (but then I have only ever seen the stores, never been in one, did not know where they came from). I thought it might be a quality control joke, but apparently not.

Apparently the pronunciation has taxed Lorraine Kelly.

Next: Terminator Squad



Still missing the white stripe on the sergeants head... had to look it up if it is still canon.

Lovely work on those Terminators - they're they snap-fit one from the old starter box aren't they?

The stripe is still canon - markings-wise everything still is canon basically, and the Primaris stuff is new on top of that.

More fantastic work. Love the vibrant colours you achieve.

Re the white stripe: Terminators are veterans. According to the Codex Astartes at least, a veteran sergeant's (red) helmet bears markings of veteran colour (white). Stripes are common, but also small coloured features (such as skulls or stars) are allowed to indicate officer rank and/or veteran status.

God, how sad to remember such nonsense…

Stripes are common, but also small coloured features (such as skulls or stars) are allowed to indicate officer rank and/or veteran status.

Laurels are a common helmet-marking alternative to just having the helmet all white, although sometimes this is reversed. White laurels on a red helmet is a common version of this for the sergeant. Reversed versions of this are also canon - so for Ultramarines, having blue laurels on a white helmet for troopers and red laurels on a white helmet for the sergeant.

However, this isn't very usual for Terminators (who have pretty limited space on their helmets), and so the stripe is the usual way of marking them. I say usual, aside from the red and white helmets, I've only ever seen bare heads as the other option!

God, how sad to remember such nonsense…

Nah, you're far from the only one here!   

[dulydude]

Well that comparison between the dreads is just crazy!
Can you put a primaris marine in that comparison too? curious to see if the old dreads really are too small for a half dead primaris marine!

[Hewlett]
