Fulgrim: High Res Image

Since the release of Angron, 40k and Heresy addicts have been awaiting the release of the next release in the line of Primarchs, Fulgrim. I thoroughly enjoyed The Emperors Children book, especially the relationship between Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus. With the Forge World open day we finally have a proper look at Fulgrim himself. I'd seen some posts on facebook but the second pic down was a smaller resolution, so if you open it up in a new tab/window you can see it in a nice high res format. Looks stunning I must say, and I may be tempted to pick him up!

I'm really digging the base too, like Angron its a little mini-diorama in itself. I'm curious as to whether they may do a 'duel' base for when they release the Iron Hands Primarch that makes it look like they're battling each other, would work well perhaps!

Heres a colour picture too!

A couple of other pictures I've seen from the FW open day, the Istvaan Massacre battle and also some new Mechanicum units...

Abbadon and Loken... Thoughts.

So when I went to games day 2012, I was excited about seeing the first workings of Abbadon and Loken. Reading about their simmering rivalry was one of the highlights of a very good trilogy of books, I'm sure I'm not the only one! Well, Forgeworld have finally finished and released them! Without further ado, lets have a look!

So these guys on the display look great. There's interactivity between the characters, and the rubble looks pretty cool. Lost of nice little details there! 

 How awesome does Abbadon look? I can see people wanting this version with a bit of conversion (Daemon Weapon anyone) to use in their Chaos armies for 40k. The current model is in need of an update badly, and here it should be!

 Now Loken. I'll be honest, I didn't see him like this when I read the book so I'm a tad disappointed. I thought he'd look a little more like this guy...

Yep, this Space Wolf Blood Claws sergeant artwork is awesome, and this is who I pictured when I read about Garviel Loken in the HH books. Not as feral looking as this, but similar spikey hair and a rough 'I don't take no shit' look on his face. What FW released though looks a lot more retained and well looked after. Its a great model, but when you picture something in your head its hard for anything to live upto it, and thats whats happened to me! Its a great set though, although £55? When you think Angron has 2.5 other marines on it, and looks like theres more resin on there... yet its a fiver cheaper! Hmm, odd I think. 

What are your thoughts though ladies and gents?

Deathshroud Revealed

So Forge Worlds little bit of fun has finally been revealed.... and its just what we all thought.

The Deathshroud.

I believe these are the elite of the Deathguard, bodyguard of Mortarion, which could mean the Primarchy will be available soon too. Exciting times!  Here are a few of the images released by Forge World

I think they look pretty awesome, really want to see someone make a Typhus conversion using one of these as a base as I think theres the potential there for an amazing model.

What are your thoughts? Impressed? Disappointed?

Cataphractii Terminator Pictures!

And boy do I have a Nerd-on!

I really like these, and could make me want to do a pre heresy style army! Sons of Horus who stayed loyal perhaps? Thousand Sons? Iron Hands? So many options! 

Any of you people tempted with this or already have preheresy armies? Link or comment!
