Subject: Daemon Primarch Magnus/Wrath of Magnus/Traitor Legions Codex Supplement/Thousand Sons
Saw this online from Lil'legend studios, the model looks legit to me, I can't spot any bits that would give it away as a bash... but the paint job seems a touch underwhelming, which is the only thing holding me back -
Take it with salt, but here it is:
Overall, a pretty awesome looking model and design if you ask me, a master painter could do truly spectacular things with that. What do you guys think, real?

NOTE: Smaller model is a test run, a reverse 3-up (3-down?), the final size is in fact the large one -

That doesn't look half bad. I'd been thinkin of doing a Thousand sons themed army, an Magnus would be the perfect centerpiece. Shame it'll probably be upwards to $130+. I would love it, wifey would kill me for spending all that dollarino on one model.

I mean, fifty bucks is on the line.
There's no rule that says I can't.
If the pic is real, it would indicate that Thousand Sons are now their own Faction.

If it is real, I can certainly see how it could combi-kit to a lord of change. The clawed feet and hands could stay the same, the horns on the chest could be optional, and the wings would certainly suit. the only thing that would have to change would be the head.
Just bought a 1500pt deathwatch army. They are my third favorite 40K faction behind Sisters of Battle (2nd) and Thousand Sons (1st) and just ahead of my Blood Ravens (#4). Old, hard to find models have kept me from pursuing the first two as there isn't enough variety in Thousand Sons and what few sisters models are left on the store really can't get you a decent army. Now Magnus is (allegedly) officially a thing and Sisters have (allegedly) been tasked out to someone in the design studio.
I also just started painting my AoS Death army, so I have legit ZERO money for Thousand Sons or Sisters.
Its real. That is way too good to be fake. Also looks like the box was smuggled out of a chinese factory in that condition.
also to the very right of the picture. looks like another base. mabye a magus at marine size (or non demon primarch size anyway) with alternate rules for 30k or just to use?

warhammer 40k mmo. If I can drive an ork trukk into the back of a space marine dread and explode in a fireball of epic, I can die happy!

Unless they changed this with the new box designs again.
Skarbrand's box doesn't have a smaller picture since it only comes with the parts to make Skarbrand and not a generic Bloodthirster. They could probably do the same thing here since it gives them an excuse to charge more ($130 compared to $115 since people may want multiple of the same greater demon but only one of the named unique options). Just my two cents.
The Lord of Change is rumored (by SP) to be at the end of the entire Tzeentch releases. 2017 most likely. It was never rumored to be a dual kit with Magnus.

An all plastic giant unique special character for an obscure faction of a currently underpower unpopular army?
How much did they invest in this?
I just don't understand the logic.
Yeah he's the first primarch to come from GW since Leman Russ back in the day, yeah he'll look pretty sweet but...
Can they really make money with a kit like this? A plastic Lord of Change with an alternate Magnus head wouldn't work?
Well as a Daemon primarch he can likely be used by several factions and maybe even games set around 30k - after or during Prospero Burns.
As with Genestealer Cults its refreshing to see GW not navel gazing and making just more and more Marines - usually of the same old Chapters.
I would think that they will sell very well - better than say a box of different coloured marines
Did they sell many Nagashm or Glotkin? And thats for a whole range that was dying.

The pic is also missing the right side of the box. You can tell because the name on the box is always centered.
