Saw a couple of posts around the Blogasphere today about the good ole Ronin Primarch miniatures, so I figured I'd post a picture of where my Warmaster Horus is at the moment. He's assembled and pinned. He came with a different right talon, but I replaced it with Abaddon's awesome bit.
While at Toys-r-Us shopping for my son's birthday/Christmas, I saw a new line that Lego is putting out. It's called "Hero Factory." Like Bionicle from a few years ago there are several different sized lines. The $20 line is the biggest, and they are awesome! I picked up the one called Von Nebula. The legs and arms are fully articulated; as articulated as any titan model I've ever seen. Here are some pictures:
At attention (with a Farseer for scale):
Now, in what I call "Forgeworld's Bloodthirster" pose:
I need to get him in a shot with my Towering Destroyer Knight and with my Warhound. He looks a lot like a knight, but is a lot bigger. I plan on replacing the arms with a turbo laser on one side and some sort of CCW option on the other. I will be filling in the open areas and making it look more 'closed-up', but I think it is a great place to start. If a model can be posed that dynamically, it surely will look good with a better paint job on it.
Wow, the Horus is pretty awesome. I had seen the Hero Factory sets a couple times but using them as a skeleton for a titan never occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteThose Bionicle sets seem to have a lot of uses; this guy uses them to make make scratchbuilt Transformers, like Devastator and Omega Supreme: http://www.frenzyrumble.com/
