toilet paper marine comment was funny, and now i look at the mini and see only that... oh man thats not fair mahon
A bit boring marine isnt he? as for the servitor i can see that the positioning could have been inspired here

so not that original in therms of miniature poses.. but super inovative in GW terms, new rine releases are so static and boring minis...
since its 40k theres no problems with ranking minis in regiments so why the super slow turtle armour rines?... if we look at latest trov work we can see theres lots of room for improvement.

Not so original... I've already seen somewhere similar guy but he was bearing huge cross on his back. The old story about 2k years old. Hmm... let me think - he looks like Jesus Christ for me...

@NAVARRO - sorry
@Benathai - you say the story is from the year of 38K (circa)

Don't get me wrong - the idea and sculpting of servitor is quite nice. I just don't like when they incorporate motives from history into the game.
Anyway - some christian zealots may feel insulted seeing this mini. Believe me - I know such guys....

Fair enough Benathai. But really, most things you see in miniatures/games are taken from real life occurances and or legends, myths and history...
