I wonder if they will resemble the sketchy, dark gothic art of the warhammer books or just blown up versions of the 28mm miniatures.

Better be off the art work :|

The miniature proportions would be terrible in a larger size

And the next question... what are they making? Will it be an iconic space marine? Something from the Horus Heresy or something else. How do you make something for a particular race, like Orcs and it still be speaking to the masses.

And the last question... why isn't Forge World doing these?

and replied earlier off my phone :| but yeah the miniatures are super exaggerated and also a lot less detail because of their size :| even GW on larger sizes (inquisitor) they made them more proper. They'd look dumb as hell in something like 1/6 or 1/4th.

I swear if marines are the same size as guardsmen :P

And quite a few reasons forgeworld wouldn't do this stuff. But the largest and easiest one is that they do mass production and use steel molds. Such molds are generally not used for statues certainly not for the large parts because they are expensive af. Such sales are beneath them :P Also different materials, sculptors, distribution, amount of sales, factories, etc ;p Miniatures and statues are a very different business :|

edit: I bet you're hoping for some sisters repentia aren't you warlock :P
