30th anniversary Space Marine is a must have Legionnaire

Hi all

By now you may have seen the pic going round of the 30th anniversary Space Marine which is a remake of an old Rogue trader mini. 

Here it is. 


It is immediately evident that this fellow would fit in as a character or Sergeant in any 30k force. 


I for one would love to see more remakes from GW. The master of signal was based on a old Rogue trader mini too, and we all love that one. 

Thanks to Atia for the pic. She would have posted but she got a tad tipsy last night.

  1. He is a great mini but I don't have €25 to drop on a single model as a keep sake.

  3. Pariah armour? This is referenced in HH6, and when I read it I had pictured the old RTA mini this new model was based on...

  6. Do you have to be at the event to order? Or can you order via online? It does look sweet.

  7. I just dont know, the appearance is so different to any other space marine he'd struggle to fit in. I love the helmet but every other bit of him, from the knees to the gun to the back pack are quite different

  9. I really like the look of him. Personally, I want GW to maybe create a succesor to Rogue Trader i.e. create an IMPERIAL Space Marine army, SPACE Orks etc. Would be kinda cool.
