That finecast model is from the Ultramarines Honour Guard kit that came with the older terminator armoured Marneus Calgar. They were initially a metal kit but are sold as finecast nowadays. I expect they'll be removed from sale in the near future as they don't have 40k rules. Those models fit right in with the Ultrarmarines Horus Heresy aesthetic. I stuck shields from forge world Invictarus Suzerains on the 2 marines with axes from the set to make chosen for an ultramarine praetor as it's cool to have unique models for the leader's bodyguard. The model you have seems to have been converted a bit but the original has one sword and a smaller gladius, which I really like because along with a crested helmet and cape it's exactly how one of the ultramarine characters, Captain Orfeo, is described in the Heresy novel Betrayer. Those "funky" numbers definitely are odd, though they're all over 40k decal sheets. Funnily enough when I first saw them in a Dawn of War computer game I assumed they must be alien numbers because they looked so odd.
@@thatnewhobbyhigh Aaron Dembski Bowden is generally pretty vague about colours of marine armour, capes, etc so I figure your usual scheme would be fine. He's just a really cool mini to have in the collection!
Speedy recovery mate, had one cut out the side of my head last year. Gives me good street rep, makes it look like I’ve been in a bar fight. Definitely need those regulars checks though, literal lifesavers!
Between the Outer Circle talking about splitting a tooth and pulling it out with pliers and you having just a bit of your face opened up, I am beginning to think The Land Down Under is just built different. And I agree that the "Siege Breaker" is a weird model for that consul, but I bought two, and tossed the age of sigmar hammers in a bits box and gave them chain swords and turned them into Master's of Signals. They have the little iPad, a vox and a cognis Signum on the model so I thought they were perfect for that.
Thats not a shabby idea at all! I might pince that. At some stage I'll have to tell yas in detail how I lost my teeth. The short version is "brick fight".

Came here to say this. I have the metal honour guard set. There was one with a very ornate banner, which I used for my cataphractii command squad.
Should I put off painting him untill I get to the book ya reckon?

Cheers man, I can only hope my wife digs scars.
@@thatnewhobbyhigh my wife has never exactly said the words out loud, but I can see it in her eyes that she thinks I look badass
Wish you a speedy recovery my friend

Cheers man, I'm all good, and getting better, is a lot more dramatic than it sounds.

Get yourself some microset and microsol for those decals/transfers. Its a game changer.
I've been using vlayo mark set, I've ordered microset and sol, but it's quite hard to find in thewest.
