I think I may have mentioned that my friend bought a Triumphirate of the Imperium box, but didn't want Belisarius Cawl. I picked it up from him for 1/3 the cost of the box.
Three full sprues for one infantry character...
This guy has some seriously creeping looking legs. There is actually a ton of sculpted detail on the bottom of the model. I think in the past, GW would have just had a flat surface or a hollow robe. Cawl actually has fully modeled legs and a weird power train thing on the bottom. I wish I had taken a photo before gluing him to the base.
Here he is, fully assembled. I've been putting models together for years and this was a pretty tricky kit. There are so many small parts that connect in multiple places, that I'm not sure a beginner would be able to properly assemble it.
There are rons of cool bits on this model. My favorite is this little servo skull holding up a small length of cable. Alas, it snapped off almost immediately when I picked the model up. Sigh. Oh well, It's impossible to tell that something is missing.
I also like this little spider thing. It's connected to the underside of his robe by a long cable. Seriously, this guy would be terrifying in the real world.
Hard to tell from the image, but he also has a pretty fierce looking manipulator claw. He's pretty solid in close combat.
Finally, to give a full idea of how large he is, here he is standing next to a couple of Skitarii Rangers. The plan is to get him painted up sometime in the near future. It's going to take awhile, given all the detail.
