#white consuls

Three months had passed since the return to Terra, and finally Roboute Guilliman took rest. The night seemed to last forever when the primarch slept; a light brought back briefly into the universe was snuffed out, and there were more than a few who worried it might never be ­reignited. Roboute Guilliman did not need to rest often, but when he did, a terrible silence fell at the heart of Imperial government. Messinius could not help himself but check throughout the night that his gene-father still breathed.

Reading Avenging son makes me glad that I got this box.

“How much responsibilitiy and anxiety can I put in a single space marine? Lets find out!” - Primarch Roboute Guilliman, era Indomitus.

Captain Messinius, Guilliman's right hand

Fresh from the fight, and ready for another

I actually only just started reading Avenging Son this week, so I’m freshly acquainted with Brother-Captain Vitrian Messinius of the White Consuls and his extremely fancy, Crusade-era powerfist. The plasma pistol’s pretty fancy, too, but it’s just an Indomitus mass production model with some fancy decoration so, you know - not as fancy.

The half-cape’s a good look and the left pauldron bearing the chapter icon appears to be a separate bit (or sufficiently discrete from the rest of the model as to be cut away and replaced without difficulty), so I anticipate that this figure should get pretty wide use as a generic Captain - especially given that the only other way to get this loadout was the 2017 store birthday model.
