Heck, I wouldn't even mind if they restricted it to Primarks that are currently running around the 40k universe, even if they are all bad (I'm not counting the "missing" primarchs such as Vulcan).
GW needs to make these models ASAP. I mean, who wouldn't want a nice deamon-possessed Fulgrim model? Or an Angron model to match the White Dwarf article's stats? It's a license to print money, I tell you.
I hope so, I remember the Angron (I think?) model from the epic range so there is a kind of precedent for primarch models. Not sure I'd want to fight my brothers Space Wolves backed by Leman 'Ima big boy' Russ himself though.
They made a Leman Russ model years ago.
Are you sure? I know a Russian company made some (without calling them that) but I'm sure I my brothers or I would have noticed an official GW primarch.Quote:

Actually I might know the one you are referring too, really old RT period labelled 'Space Wolf Command/Leman Russ' or something like that? I think we have that one.Quote:

Yeah, I'd think it would be a FW model set if they did it, as well. However, there are some really nice primarch models floating around. I actually have the Leman Russ one, as well as the Sanguinius one. They're really sharp.
Yes, I just found my brothers (90 minutes of searching, yay insomnia) and to be honest I wonder if they had really fleshed out the primarch idea much when this mini was made, and if so, what were they thinking?:rolleyes: Underwhelming to say the least, I think I would put more emphasis on the 'SW commander' part than the Leman Russ part.

See, I doubt they'll come out with Primarchs for game balance reasons. They are simply to powerful for any scale smaller than Epic. I mean, it sounds cool, but it just doesn't fit the fluff at all to have Leman Russ or the Deamon-thing that is Fulgrim die to a bunch of Lascannon shots from a guline gaurd army. Also, how do you come up with rules for a Warp-Forged Super-being which has been personally leading an entire legion of Space Marines across the galaxy in a crusade of conquest for centuries? Fearless, T10, I10, S10, W10, A10, BS 8, WS 8? It's just not practical from a rules standpoint.
This is not to say it wouldn't be cool to do a display model of them, just for the fun of it.
There is a company who sell primarch and Emperor models on ebay under names like the golden knight and other stuff. Here is some of the stuff they make.
ohhhhhh nice :D
Im after something sorta similar myself...
What im really after is a Forgeworld Asurmen... thats what im scouring the planet for
Wasn't that Fulgrim model scratchbuilt for the GD's?
Yep, that's the Leman Russ that I have. If I get around to it, I"ll post my Sanguinius on here, too. Maybe when I'm done painting him....
Wow, those are nice models! I especially like the Fulgrim one.Quote:

The more I think about it, the more I think that Forgeworld may indeed be the best place to produce them. That would make the Primarch more rare/special, as they should be (although I shudder to guess what price they would be sold at). However, imagine what a FW Primach would look like. :D
I've heard rumors that FW was going to start making the necron Ctan. Maybe that can be the bellweather as to whether primarch would be feasible.
Then again, I also feel that any Primarch needs to be made in metal, as its solid weight complements the relative importance of the figure.
I don't want to say that it would never happen, but it's extremely unlikely. I think the only way we would ever see such models is if the design studio was allowed to head another project, like how they did with Space Hulk.
People post them all the time on CMoN.

There are pics there of all of them. They occasionally do pop up for sale on Ebay, usually as a Buy It Now.
