Hello again,
The plan from now on is to post at least once a week and maybe twice on weekends. Given my work schedule this should be doable until I get sent away for a couple of weeks to endure the frozen wilds of Canada. Until then I will continue to post.
Like I said before, I went and found the best mock up sketches and

and after compiling all of the design elements and scrounging my bits boxes, I came up with a plan. Given the time frame I had chosen, Post Heresy, I decided that Roboute Guilliman would most likely be armed with the Fists of Ultramar and would carry a Gladius, possible that of his father as a secondary weapon. He would probably wear some form of Terminator armour as it provides protection and a tactical advantage, going with his personality. Using many of the pieces I already had and custom making templates where needed I started piecing the beast together. I wanted to rush the process so many times and in a couple of places it is evident that I did. That being said, I have also not actually modelled anything in quite a long time.
below is the final product, let me know what you think.
I'm quite happy with the outcome and might build another one to represent him Pre-Heresy as well.
Cheers, and Happy Modelling.

Hail!
I have returned to modelling like Caesar crossed the rubicon. With the interest in the Horus Heresy, and having recently read Know No Fear, I decided to make the Ultramarines 5th Grand Company in the time shortly after the consolidation and embarking on the Great Hunt. The army would include dreadnoughts, tactical squads and a custom model representing Roboute Guilliman. The first thing I was going to do was start with some research. I read the descriptions and searched the great google machine for inspiration. Having found a number of pictures including fantastic cover art and a bunch of deviantart sketches I began compiling what i thought were the bet representations. Some pictures are over the top, but some really great material is available. I'll post some of the pieces in the next post. Next, I began sketching my own ideas. This too will follow. Finally I started putting the pieces together. Below is a teaser of the finished model.
Hope you enjoy. Happy Modelling.
