It's a kinda weird looking model. Magnus was awesome but I feel like all these giant non-daemon dudes will look out of place (especially compared to their more normal-looking heresy versions). I'm still getting him though...

His proportions look weird from that angle, but I've learned to wait for the actual release to judge GW. I wonder how his armor got to be so bedazzled while in stasis lol
Also the gauntlet of ultramar...whats Marneus gonna wear now?

I wonder if the fluff is going to be like "But in order for him to survive the wound Fulgrim inflicted, they had to use the ancient Biggerizer (tm) at the heart of Macgragge."

It will be interesting to see how this impacts the Government of the Imperium. Before his wounding by Fulgrim and subsequent stasis-chambering Guilliman was Lord Commander of the Imperium and commander-in-chief of the Lords of Terra. Given the primarch's love of good government and state-craft I can only imagine that he'll despise how far the Imperium has fallen. Additionally, many of the Astartes Chapters are no longer Codex compliant, which likely won't go over well.

I don't want to judge so early, but I honestly like the FW version better. He just looks like a Hasbro action figure to me

GW just put up a post on their facebook page saying that more info about Gathering Storm III will be up on the warhamemr website today. So we'll likely have some high detail pictures before to long.

Given the primarch's love of good government and state-craft I can only imagine that he'll despise how far the Imperium has fallen. Additionally, many of the Astartes Chapters are no longer Codex compliant, which likely won't go over well. And people are speculating that having Cypher on his side, with a slew of black-clad Dark Angels (presumably Fallen) in tow, means that he was actually loyal this whole time, and that the true traitors were the green-wing dark angels. Not sure how much stock I put into that, but Sanguinius over on reddit has been 100% on these rumors so far (calling Roboute's return back in like October I think), and he claims that we're going to see a switch - one loyal legion turns out to have been traitors, one traitor legion turns out to have been loyal. I doubt its a full on switch of sides, but more likely a hidden secret within the DA that some of the chapter leadership sided with Horus, or was about to, and that the hunt for the fallen has been a campaign to clean up the loose ends who know that secret. And the "traitors turned loyal" could just be the fallen actually being proven to be loyal the whole time. But this is a common theme with regard to the disgust of the imperium - when Greyfax was released from Trazyn's menagerie she was all "wtf are you doing worshiping the emperor and talking to xenos you rubes". I'm willing to bet Roboute does the same thing, and agrees to take Cypher to terra so he can A) kill abaddon and end the crusade and B) smack the shit out of the high lords, unplug the emperor, and take his place as the ruler of the imperium. That model *does* look like an action figure from this angle, but I'm willing to bet he looks better in person/at different angles, and I honestly think that some of the detail getting scraped off would make him look 1 million times better (and almost identical to his 30k version). I think we'll see a lot of people using the FW version instead though, despite the slight size difference. EDIT: Actually the FW model is probably about the same size as the GW plastic one, just less dynamic. Already the FW one is about 70% taller than a marine, and given the terminator next to the plastic one in the pic Will posted, I'd wager the plastic one is about 70% taller as well. Just much much more dynamic, and on a higher base:

I've long thought that Guilliman might serve as the Emperor eventually, or at the very least until the Star Child nonsense becomes a reality assuming its cannon. Heck, looks like Guilliman is even wielding the emperor's sword already (AKA the Burning Blade).
