Now hoping they do all the Primarchs and emperor.

DOW3 has it's own cartoony art style, especially for it's hero characters. There is not a single miniature that looks like that.
This is what tartaros armor in the miniature style looks like.
Wanna know what his miniature looks like? Here:
This looks nothing like that. So it's not faithful to the miniature. Though the miniature also has issues, namely the giant as head which is usually the opposite problem (large armor, tiny head) for marines. But the armor in this model is not faithful to the artwork, the lore, the miniatures or anything but DOW3.
NOTHING on the table top or artwork looks like Gabriel in DOW3 does. They wanted a DOW3 piece and they certainly achieved that. He looks exactly like a DOW3 rendition of Gabriel. However being that DOW3 is hated by gamers (it has less than 600 average concurrent users already, just a couple months and the other 2 games years old have more than that).
The chapter is pretty much ---- on by lore enthusiasts and I don't know anybody who plays the TT who really likes him. Wanna know what people think of his mini? Here you go!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40...fficial_model/ Like I said it's a perfect rendition of Gabriel from DOW3. However nobody but critics really liked it (as a sorta "it's not that bad!"(. Nobody is really carying about anatomy except you. I said that because you brought up anorexic hiv marines. I think terminator armor looks cool as hell but there's no way there's a marine in there. There's a difference between goofy and unrealistic :|
It's fine if you like it. However you keep asserting that it's somehow faithful to the game when it in no way is. It's not like the artwork, it's not like the miniatures. It's like DOW3, which has nothing that looks like it and was a commercial flop (cause it's a ---- game). So if you want it to be honest, you should probably look at something from the actual tabletop instead of making stuff up to fit :P
If they did the primachs it would be either from the art or the forgeworld minis, neither of which look as dumb as gabriel.
You can say you like him all you want, and that's fine. But from your comments it doesn't seem like you are familiar with the tabletop game, lore, and by your own admission never played DOW3. So if you want this appeal to not-fans of the license sure, have at it.
