    See, I doubt they'll come out with Primarchs for game balance reasons. They are simply to powerful for any scale smaller than Epic. I mean, it sounds cool, but it just doesn't fit the fluff at all to have Leman Russ or the Deamon-thing that is Fulgrim die to a bunch of Lascannon shots from a guline gaurd army. Also, how do you come up with rules for a Warp-Forged Super-being which has been personally leading an entire legion of Space Marines across the galaxy in a crusade of conquest for centuries? Fearless, T10, I10, S10, W10, A10, BS 8, WS 8? It's just not practical from a rules standpoint.

    This is not to say it wouldn't be cool to do a display model of them, just for the fun of it.

    There is a company who sell primarch and Emperor models on ebay under names like the golden knight and other stuff. Here is some of the stuff they make.

    Yep, that's the Leman Russ that I have. If I get around to it, I"ll post my Sanguinius on here, too. Maybe when I'm done painting him....

    Wow, those are nice models! I especially like the Fulgrim one.

    As a painter and not a player (not yet anyways!), I would get a primarch to paint and display with my army. They would make a great centerpiece.

    The more I think about it, the more I think that Forgeworld may indeed be the best place to produce them. That would make the Primarch more rare/special, as they should be (although I shudder to guess what price they would be sold at). However, imagine what a FW Primach would look like.

    I've heard rumors that FW was going to start making the necron Ctan. Maybe that can be the bellweather as to whether primarch would be feasible.

    Then again, I also feel that any Primarch needs to be made in metal, as its solid weight complements the relative importance of the figure.

    I don't want to say that it would never happen, but it's extremely unlikely. I think the only way we would ever see such models is if the design studio was allowed to head another project, like how they did with Space Hulk.

    There are pics there of all of them. They occasionally do pop up for sale on Ebay, usually as a Buy It Now.
