That's cool!
I love The Grand Master Voldus, Remindes me of the old Knight from Iniana Johns and the last Crusade.

Rowboat Girlyman himself fails to impress me though... he's probably my least favourite of FW's sculpts, and this version isn't doing it for me either. On the bright side one of my regular opponents is a ultramarine fanboy.. so he'll probably shelf his genecult for now.

I'm wondering if we're going to be seeing Wolfy-Wolfy McRussy-Russ in plastic at some point? Followed by the Rhana Dandra...

I really like the FW Guilliman, one of the best Primarch sculpts in my opinion but the amount of roundness on GW's version makes him look a bit too much like a deamon prince.

Agreed on both counts. The excessive swirly styling on GW version's armor doesn't help either. Even though they've started having that creep into the loyalist designs recently (especially with the Mechanicus), it still looks a bit Chaosy. Depending on pricing, I'd be tempted to get the FW one and run it as a counts as instead.

Depending on the size I'm tempted to kit bash it with a deamon prince so I have a couple more (technically I only have one and not three).

Yeah Ive got to agree about the new guilliman. He's not my favorite sculpt at all which is sad because he is by far my favorite 30k primarch model. But that Cypher though.

Classic Cypher is such a good classic model, but this is an update worthy of current ideas about what looks good on a mysterious power armour dude.

Mel linked me this. I do like the Cypher one a lot. The GK one doesn't do much for me, though. It's not bad, but not a cut above like nearly all the other Triumvirate minis so far. It'll be interesting to see what formations come out of the third book.

Ill defo be getting this one aswell! as a smurf molester I need girlyman to lead my company of blue and gold!
in regards to the armour......
Spoiler do not read if you don't want to know anything about gathering story series
The armour is the item in cawl's stasis chamber, he's spent the last 10k years developing it specially for girly man, it more than likely has something to do with life support for him aswell, think iron man with his mini magnet in his chest.
If a mod knows how to put this in a hidden spoiler please do so for me!
I do wonder what Calgar will have to say about being pushed to the side, although I think it likely he will continue to lead the ultras and guilliman will try and act as lord protector of the imperium etc.

I don't think we have spoilers as an option, but your text should be sufficient. I heard the same thing about the armor, and the preview on GW community says his backpack has a life support system.

Cawl must have been so pissed off whenever he heard all those rumours about Gill slowly healing up in his stasis field.
Actually,, since we don't have spoilers you could always post, like a kitten image, and then say the alt text is a spoiler.

I've got a feeling the Imperium will split in two. Terra ruled by religious fanatics, empress Celestine anyone? And ultramar ruled by girly man. Inbetween will be chaos, new eldar etc. I'm also hoping that ghaz will make an appearance this year, seems appropriate. Mabye yarrick will be involved aswell. Possibly leading imperial guard forces in creeds stead.

That'd be interesting, and sort of sidesteps the problem of so many "Loyalist" factions.
Current rumor is Abbadon doesn't survive the Crusade, by the way. I'm betting he gets ganked and comes back as a Daemon Prince or something. That's why they haven't pushed out a new mini for him.

If abbadon becomes a demon prince I'll be pissed. That's his whole thing, not being a demon prince

You see the chaos in me loves abbadon. People say he failed 12 times but fall of cadia changed that all be it very vague ly. He apparently was destroying pilons making chaos strong enough to assault the imperium. Remember last time the had to rely on traitor legions. I think abbadon will be mortally wounded and end up in a hell brute!

Abaddon knows it is his destiny to be the last sacrifice in the ritual that will resurrect Horus. Doing one Black Crusade would have been enough to raise the cost in blood and souls, but doing 12 before hand was what you needed to sketch out a galaxy wide ritual circle that will centre the ritual of returning Horus from the dead right in the throne room on Terra. (He'll probably arrive just as Guilliman and Celestine get there to consult with the Emperor personally and they'll all throw down.)

Abby-dabby-doo being elevated to Daemon Prince status would be hill-air-eee-us, and fitting with the nature of Chaos... Reward him with that he least desires, etc.

something will defo happen to the emperor in book 4, what I don't know but something will, I think the end of book 3 its said girly man and his possy of followers will be well on their way to Terra! Probably with elder in tow. Would love it if the imperium was getting its arse kicked and all of a sudden Ghaz turned up on Terra with a massive waaaaghhh cuz he heard abbadon was about for a good fight and ends up saving the day for Terra lol

ay, there's merit in that - if Ghaz hears of Abadon's plan he'll be sure to get in on the action. Not sure there'd be much left afterwards though!
regarding ultra-man, he looks corrupted, all the swirly stuff is daft on a loyalist, but hey.
Sypher will have a hard time getting that sword out of its holster too.
