I think it has to be Tigrus. By far the toughest looking ones.

Tigrus and Umbra Ferrox, both are my number 1 here. Second place goes to Tigrus Seeker.

they are the MKIV marines type. tartaros termies have twin versions and combis of them.
behind both umbra's (cause i love MK VI) tigrus are my choice guns.

Torn HARD between Phobos and Umbra Ferrox... Hell, I need to order all the FW bolters and have someone kit me up some seriously outfitted Sternguard, soonest.

I voted for the Mk 2, but really I like anything with the peek-a-boo clip.
The Phobos I think is a bit too rear-heavy ...

There aren't many of them, but I like the stalker pattern.
On a side note: why aren't Marines modeled looking down the sights? They are usually firing from the hip...

the new tactical set has 2 iron sights marine arm sets in it, but the little nub above the barrel of the bolter is a 'targeter' that is fed into the eye lens HUD, so shooting from the hip is as accurate as sighting the barrel.

You've got it all wrong Cap'n. It's cos they're too badass to aim.

I always love the early edition arbites bolters, I cant remember what that thing on the side (between gun and arm) is supposed to be but I think its some sort of targeting component, love that s***
