>>10855347I like the Venerable a lot, he looks awesome and I love his weapon loadout. He's also a bit more play-friendly and much easier to fit into a display than the Redemptor thanks to his smaller size. My one gripe is a personal aesthetic one; I would have preferred a standard box-nought as I'm not a huge fan of the primaris head poking out, hehe.
Not sure what the prices are like now, but if they're close, then the Redemptor is undoubtedly the better bang for your buck. Huge, more articulation (especially in the hand, which has individually articulated fingers/knuckles, whereas the Venerable only has rotation at the wrist), and it just looks rad!
If you're open to other chapters though, my favorite Joytoy 'nought by far is the Blood Angels Furioso. So dang cool!
