Wasn't convinced at all by the actual joke, though.

That and it's already 2 and a half hours past April the 1st, and April Fool's only lasts until midday here, so i'm well out of the mindset for it.
I dunno, he used some obscure models, he pasted it into a French magazine and that's where most of our leaks ahve been from. Not the best HH image but all in all not a bad try. I smiled.
Meh, perhaps it's just the fact that the codex image covers the '40,000' part of the title almost completely, and I doubt GW would do anything like that, plus the race name is at the bottom, when every recent codex to date has had the race name directly beneath the Warhammer 40,000 title, and the lefthand border has a line of white running down it from where the image hasn't lined up properly.
There's also the fact that, even though I can't speak or read French, what is there has nothing to do with the Horus Heresy save the images. It's on about being immortalised in finecast, some mention of the Crimson Fists and it all being limited edition.
Maybe it's because i'm just a cynic, and I tend to read the rumours before coming to a conclusion about it, but the failures on the fake cover were what I spotted first, not the cover in its entirety.
If i'd gone into it with a more positive outlook I might've grinned a bit.
I just made it quickly, tops half an hour. Yes you caught me, it was a french whitedwarf about the crimson fists 25th anniversary 'fine'cast, hence "The crimson fists being immortalized in finecast." Just trying to get a gag, looking back, I should have put a little price tag below each model showing GW's famous pricing tactics.

Yep, also the white dwarf page is really messed up, my photoshop-fu is weak. I forgot to blur the iron warrior pic, the blue box that has the inquisitor has a big black smudge to the right and the to the left side of the page it sticks out a bit
