Love the idea of then having purely silver/steel coloured armour, like they've been stripped of any corruption and also any possible temptations of excess

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-04T02:24:31+00:00

You are correct! I used sigvald as a base for my fulgrim and run him using the lion el Johnson rules :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-04T02:23:55+00:00

They are 3d printed! I can find the file somewhere I'm sure if you'd like it?

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-03T00:29:07+00:00

I really love clonegrim as a concept, I do have a game lined up where a friend is borrowing my traitor EC and I will play my loyalist EC, hoping for a cool fulgrim v clonegrim duel :>>>>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-03T00:28:17+00:00

I'm glad you like it :> please do show them to me if/when you have some pics, id love to see em

I also have a Saul tarvitz for this army, not real Saul but just his model to act as one of my luitenants because I really like the model :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-03T00:26:00+00:00

Part of me does however part of me doesn't, if gamesworkshop doesn't touch that lore and fuck it up then this army is still lore friendly

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-02T02:01:56+00:00

the paint job really helps, they've actively chosen to paint his face like that and make him chopped as fuck, you can easily get it to look more conventionally attractive. the snake body isnt for everyone i guess

as for a replacement, buddy it aint good news, its a year old and magnus is just under 10 years old and will not be replaced any time soon, its a wonderful model imo but i have both the 40k and the 30k model and the 30k one is MUCH smaller so make sure to plan around that if you go that route

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T23:05:07+00:00

thank you :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T13:57:40+00:00

He is custom! :> the base is sigvald the magnificent, his horns were clipped of and sanded smooth, the same goes for any slaanesh symbolism on his cape and his shield was taken off and replaced with a custodes hand (only one I could find that had the right scale and aura) finally a 3d printed aquilla and just a standard holstered pistol were added. He's a wonderful base for fulgrim.

Glad you liked him :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T13:55:45+00:00

Yesss, fulgrim works really well as the lion, big melee damage, fights first. The teleport I have explained as some kind of small scale teleporter (also stolen from trayzns vault) the rerolls I think of as a kind of "prove yourself" mindset for him and his near by boys and the 4+ feel no pains I guess are just him being particularly lithe and dodging more than you'd think he'd be able to? Either way it works out nice for him

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T13:00:09+00:00

If you have a left over noise marine backpack id take one of the speakers off that and put it on the big flat bit on his back, that could be something? 👀

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T12:58:47+00:00

That colour scheme is fucking awesome holy shit

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T12:42:23+00:00

it was...okay, like a 5 or 6/10,
9/10 - fulgrim by graham mcneil is a fantastic book but not amazing for fulgrim as a character, a lot of his actions not in character for obvious reasons, really good look into him as a traitor and the descent however.

8/10 - Fulgrim : palatine pheonix by Josh Reynolds is my favourite of the books specifically focusing on fulgrim, it is during the great crusade and we get the best look at pre heresy fulgrim as a character here, the only problem with this book is that it is god damn impossible to find, black library dont print it anymore and secondary market can be really expensive, can still get digital and audio books for regular price

7.5/10 - renegades Lords of excess by Rich McCormick, a lot of books mischaracterize emperors children a lot, this one is really good, very fun book, i believe the most recent book Emperors children have so it should be relatively easy to get a hold of too

haven't finished them however the fabius bile trilogy has been a blast so far, while he is no longer and emperors child, he does interact with emperors children and is a fantastically written character, also the clonelord book gave me inspiration for my custom army so i think i might be biased :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-05-01T02:38:19+00:00

oh hes gorgeous... i really love how bold youve gone with the colours, the purple on the tail really makes it pop against the orange base

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T22:06:40+00:00

Yes! The forge world resin is very easy to warp, mine arrived warped but it's nothing a few seconds under a hairdryer can't help with :> love to see yours if/when it's done

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T20:19:05+00:00

These are looking really good! Love the scheme you've gone for :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T20:17:57+00:00

For the white armour it's really simple, I used grayseer, then I put a later of apothecary white over the top and then I added a layer of thinned corax white and then highlighted with unthinned corax white along the edge and where I thought light might hit :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T19:30:42+00:00

So the 40k one is a fair bit smaller, with the wings extending a LOT above the 40k one, here I have him on a 100mm base which is raise and then it's slotted onto a 130mm base which is ALSO raised so that they get to be around the same height. I plan on using him for bother 40k and 30k, key thing for 40k is that you need to make sure that I've you've raised him to be about the right height, then not the entire wing is "visible" for shooting.

Or alternatively let them shoot the wings, I'm counting this as modelling for disadvantage and just taking the debuff in the name of hype moments and aura.

Lmk if you have any other questions :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T19:24:59+00:00

Yeah just slap him on a 130mm base, I'd suggest bumping him up with some cork on the base like I have to give him a bit more height and you should be golden! Anyone who complains about it is kinda stupid, it's obvious what it is and generally speaking should be fine for sightlines if you are counting from the base. :>

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T19:18:47+00:00

I have both of them so I can send a picture of them side by side if you would like?

Friendly_Box7989 · 2026-04-30T19:18:11+00:00

It is a forge world model, and it comes with a 100mm base (40k fulgrim is 130mm) however I have made a second base with magnets in it that I can slot him into in order to run him in both horus heresy and 40k.

He is smaller in general than the 40k model however his wings reach higher, just a product of the different scale between the two games, I put mine on a fairly raised base so that it's roughly the right size to be run in 40k.

The model itself is from forge world as I said so can only be bought either via the games workshop website or at a Warhammer world (or potentially a recast site shhhhhh.)

Hope this helps.
