Clad in Cataphractii armor, the Crimson Paladins, also known as the Keruvim or the Storm Winds, guard the Primarch's inner sanctums and are known to serve on the battlefield as enforcers of his will or as protectors and bodyguards to commanders that the Primarch sees greatness in.
The usual white box with QR and bar codes. While I agree with some people that these boxes could show artwork or have better stickers, I can see why since it cuts down on production costs. These guys cost enough pretty pennies.
Glad to see Forge World continuing to use the newer instruction manuals versus their old black and white sheets.
The box comes with two smaller packages. One of them contains almost all of the arms, the shields, and the torso fronts. Each of these items is completely unique. The swords are amazingly well done and the filigree is sharp. A bit of mold slip, but nothing a file, hobby knife, or green stuff can't fix. The detail on these is just astounding.
The back plates for each suit are all the same, and one of the heads is repeated, otherwise all of the torsos, legs, and heads are unique. Notice the somewhat stubby assault cannon in the kit. It makes sense, however, given the Keruvim's CQC oriented manner of war.
Think these guys are from the Blood Angels?
This is just a fantastic kit. It really encapsulates the Blood Angels and the models themselves are a throwback to an old piece of artwork from the Visions of Heresy series. The level of detail, as always, meets what you expect from Forge World. Very few air bubbles and not a lot of mold slip, so I can't complain there. And the kit was really well cleaned to the point that I won't even have to wash these before I get started. Excellent job.
