Really like how Curze turned out. Looking forward to the ace paintjobs of the community.

While I'm at it, here's a list of stuff that we have seen on the last couple of open days and the likes which still remains unreleased by FW:

- Book V Tempest (HH)
- Sevatar (HH)
- Thallax I-Rad Cleanser (HH)
- Thallax Plasma Fusil (HH)
- Castellax with Photon Thruster (HH)
- Alpha Legion Rhino Doors (HH)
- Alpha Legion MK III Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Alpha Legion Contemptor (HH)
- Word Bearers Contemptor (HH)
- Imperial Fists Sword Brethren (HH)
- Imperial Fist Phalanx Breacher Squad (HH)
- Imperial Fists MK II Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Imperial Fists MK III Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Imperial Fists MK IV Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Solar Auxilia Flamer Section (HH)
- Ultramarines MK II Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Ultramarines MK III Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Ultramarines MK IV Shoulder Pads (HH)
- Reaver Titan Chainfist (HH/40K)
- Reaver Titan Volcano Cannon (HH/40K)
- K'Dai Destroyer (WH)

The amount of Horus Heresy related stuff leaves no question what these guys are up to these days and I'm loving it - sorry . Yet I doubt that the K'Dai will ever see its release and I excluded that Astral Claws Char we could see the W.I.P. of on purpose (doubt his release even more). And it's a bit weird that the Alpha Legion stuff (MK II / IV shoulder pads were release but MK III got hold back?) or the two still missing weapons for the Thallaxi are taking so long.

And the big question is: Which Primarch will come next? Maybe Corax?

Big NL player, but not a fan of Kurze. Yeah it fits the part but I am just not blow away by him. Maybe seeing the other primarchs spoiled me but I don't think he is on the same level of detail. The painting is horrible. Pose isn't bad, but that's the only think I like about it. Think I will stick with my Kabuki Kurze which was less than half the cost.

Hopefully Perturabo will be a bit better of a mini.

Still waiting for FW to give my Exorcists some love. All those cool characters in the Badab War books and they never did anything with them.

Brilliant. Going to have to pick that up. When can we expect Sevatar?

Curze looks great, looking at it, it makes me think off;

I feel that out of all the Primarchs (bar maybe Alpharius), Kurze deserved a helmet option the most as it really exemplified his 'Night Haunter' persona when he put the helmet on.

Anyway, I love the base and it has grown on me in the hours since I first looked at it but I can't help but feel a bit 'meh' about the whole thing. The armour bears the hallmarks of Simon Egan (reminds me of Vulkan & Horus) which is nice though

So when is Dorn coming dammit!

Nanananananana KONRAD!

Sorry, couldn't resist. He's excellent. Looks very dynamic, pointy and stabby. And the chest plate ornament is fantastic. Konrad and Fulgrim are my favorite sculpts thus far, I think.

How on earth is that a terrible paintjob? Really what is there that is not at least way above average?

The other one is fugrim, ugly face and gimpy pose

Might of missed it but which legion are the two dead guys on the base, the chest plate on one looks like nothing I've seen from FW and the dull grey colour scheme doesnt seem to match up with any of the legions.

Edit:

Aaaand never mind, they're Solar Auxilia

I like Him, but at the same time I don't like Him.

I always pictured him more like Ryūku from Death Note..




In the novels they describe him as skinny and corpse like but model make him look to built and healthy lol

But he doesn't change his appearance like Fulgrim. He stays that way until he meets his end. I don't mean I pictured him to look as demonic as the picture I included, I ment more his build, thin and palid looking..

He doesn't go all out demon but getting mauled to almost death by the Lion is going to change how you look, even if it is subtle.

No Primarch is ever going to be THAT thin, not when wearing PA.

Ok..point taken, not THAT thin.. that was ment to be an overall impression of him.. I basically ment tall and slim. A better example would be the Fulgrim model. He's pretty slim, more so than Curze and looks more mobile. The Curze model looks too heavily armoured and the "Predator" blades are not what I expected for "Power Claws". Don't get me wrong, I still like the model and will be picking it up as I have been doing Heresy Night Lords for a while now, just wish listing I guess. I just have a feeling that the Corax model will look more like Curze than this and if that happens I will be converting away!

i wish he was more lean like Fulgrim, but everything about him is great. I might snip the power claws and make them a bit larger with some plasticard.

I'm liking the Curze model, though I think the paintjob should have been darker (to reflect the direction modern Night Lords have shown recently). That, and I was hoping for bigger claws like many others. The nice thing about going small though, is that it is much easier to convert up (giving him big claws) than it would have been to convert down (giving him smaller claws), so all-in-all I'd say it's a win.

Sorry to be negative, Kurze is absolutely NOT my mini.

Too much 40K Chaos look for me. Most uninteresting Primarch sculpt IMO so far.
Do not get me wrong, it is well executed and fits the Background, but as said it smells to much like 40K Chaos...
Skulls, Skin???

Have you... have you read anything about Kurze?

All HH novel available, I still think that it is overdone...

Yes .... his rules says he is jump infantry ( character ) but I can't make out a jump pack unless it is very compact and underneath the cloak .

My only gripe with the Horus Heresy range is that they don't offer helmets with the Primarchs. Some of the Primarchs have really badass looking ones. I hope they give the Lion his as an option.

I agree. Vulcan especially would have been nice.

Helmeted versions of all primarchs will be the second wave to help shore up GW financials. Each primarch will have a slightly altered pose but have a custom helmet that exemplifies their character....except Ferrus Manus(for obvious reasons ). After these are released (circa2023) then they will begin with the fallen/demonic primarchs. Not to be outdone the goody goody two shoes primarchs will get a release as well. Then will come the "you asked for it" alternative primarchs where the good guys went bad and the bad guys stayed true to the Emperor, of course this will add another decade or two into the production lines as each chapter will need all new contemptors, relic contemptors, high definition contemptors, and sparkly princess contemptors which are the prelude to the alternate alternate universe where the Emperoress created all female primarchs, and only females can become space marines. Lawsuits will occur at this point as others in roach on GWs IP and create alternative male marines to sell to those goofy players who want to write against the narrative and try and come up with a plausible male marine chapter even though it's Anatomically impossible. True scale marines will come out after the IP wars are settled at a loss to the bottom line, but instead of changing the height of the models to make them "true scale" Mat Ward (the new CEO of GW in 2045) will have directed the design team to true scale the breasts of the female marines. The tactical squads will have 200 plus parts on the sprue, of which 170 are different sized breasts that can be glued on using only Citadel Fineglue, thus allowing "true scaled to your preference". If you are still reading at this point then my morning really wasn't wasted, but yours was. Every army needs a great enemy to fight and after the defeat of Chaos, the Eldar and their Dark cousins, womankind faces its worst nightmare, the return of the squats, signaling the end of days.

If they could move up the timeline on all of that, I'd be game for it!

For all if it!!!

You had me at sparkly princess contemptors. I suspect/hope the Emperor's Children one will get a headdress like She-Ra but those sneaky Alpha Legioness Marines have a thing for fancy hats so who knows. Will the super ultra limited edition Angron come with a $50 chest add on tagged with Draigo's initials? As for true scale breast modelling, I suspect most of the current fanbase prefers heroic scale visually but obviously YMMV.

i've been waiting for phased plasma fusil thallax for sooo long!! i almost cant take it any more - i play Ordo Reductor (MOAR THALLAX!!) and i can usually see the hate in my opponents eyes when i proxy the 'sarges' as the plasma-weilders.
at least someone else has noticed.

The painting is horrible.

Okay...I'm a bit of a negative Nancy myself, but really? Horrible? I can see an argument being made for him needing to be painted a darker blue (even though he looks sufficiently dark in the video), but I see nothing wrong with that paint job otherwise.

This is why people don't paint their models, because they see the scathing, unwarranted criticism that models with perfectly decent paint jobs receive, because the painter dared to do anything less than the highest possible competition-level standard in the industry, and they ask themselves "Why bother?" Not only do your models look better unpainted but they'll be worth more on the secondary market when you inevitably have to sell them later, whenever GW finally prices you out of the HHHobby.

Of course I'm sure some will argue that, as a product showcase, anything less than the highest possible standard in painting isn't good enough to properly showcase the product and entice people to buy...even though the product comes unpainted and your decision to buy or not buy should be made entirely on the quality of the sculpt and the price being set for it, but you know...

Yes, I knew it! I knew Mat Ward would someday return, in our darkest hour, and lay rightful claim to the crown, just as the prophecy foretold!

ALL HAIL OUR SPIRITUAL LIEGE!

Now all I can imagine is that in this alternate timeline Carmen Sandiego is the head of the Alpha Legioness.
