With there being 100 Space Marines in a Company, there was no question what sort of limited-edition miniature we needed to mark our 100th store. For such a historic occasion, we knew we wanted to draw inspiration from the miniatures of the past, a Space Marine that like our stores had stood the test of time and become an enduring classic. After poring over the archives, the design team unanimously settled on Jes Goodwin’s classic Space Marine Captain.
Citadel Miniature designer Mike Fores was the man tasked with reimagining Jes Goodwin’s original sculpt. To bring the model up to date, Mike added panel lines to the armour and a loin cloth – both features of more modern Space Marine characters. Finally, Mike gave Centos his own personal heraldry, adding, among other detailing, a stylised ‘C’ for ‘century’ or ‘100’ to the back of the power fist and cloak.
