Don't kill me. I know this horse is already dead and beaten to the uptmost ability of the community. But he is so freaking good looking. (painted) Model rules completely aside. Who would buy it just for painting? I want at least one. If not 2. But I don't own any of the paladin yet (winter holiday of gift giving still pending)  |

I think he's a boss on the table too honestly. I'm super excited to get to paint my pair once I'm done with my Grymkin  I'm making myself not touch anything else till I finish the full FA of the faction. |

Even for a limited faction... more power to you. I'm still grueling through Legion and it's like 85% done. BTW I love the painting on the Dreamer and her... spectres (?) whatever they are called. Great job. I'm totally trying to map out the colors now. He has a few more specific layers in the model that need a contrasting color. So now I've gotta pick a few new colors. |

I'm pretty happy with how my color scheme panned out. I'm so close to done! I just need to paint 1/2 a unit of Dread Rots, double Piggybacks, a Glimmer Imp, two Gorehounds, two Frightmares, and another Wanderer since I gave my first one away and I'm DONE. I'm extra motivated because I can't even build my Dracodile until after I finish this. As for viability, I've got a sweet batrep against my own Grymkin models with a double Champion Thyra list coming out on Wednesday > |

I'll get one for sure.
He's not an awful combat solo with 2 attacks a turn. Its just his support abilities are lacking, and somehow PP took us saying "Retaliatory strike is a little weak on Paladins" as us asking for him to get an even worse ability.
And of course PP still utterly refuses to fix the Lance+Close Combat rules.

As a part time Protectorate player, I absolutely love this model! I can't wait until it comes out! Such a gorgeous model!

The thing I love about the new sculpts is the depth of the models - they're so much... chunkier? So rather than being flat detail the embossing on the shield stands proud from the body a lot more... does this make any sense???

Yeah, the detail pops a lot more on the newer models. They've gotten better at sculpting and producing quality molds.

I love it because it is easier to paint Seriously He is so beautiful but looks like you could paint him up in single session |

I will buy 2 of these beautiful models, paint them both up to the best of my ability, run both as often as possible, and roll a paladin in my favorite RPG just so these can see more table time. If only Company of Iron would allow them...  |

If only Company of Iron would allow them... You can play the dismounted form for 5 points and requisition 0 |

If only Company of Iron would allow them... it does now, in NQP2 they have the point cost of unmounted dragoons. Gravis and the Champ are both 5 points. |
