Really nice presentation and solution to the base. However, I will say, the paint job on Angron isn't the greatest.

That is an amazing model and excellent representation of how I imagine him and think he should look.

Smurf's link has more and better pictures:

Love that model and display base!

agreed, I think it looked better in the WD scans posted, kind of figured it would look better on the FW site

Only thing that isn't clear is if the World Eaters he is killing are included, as they are not pictured in picture where the base is removable.

Would guess they are, but other than that I think it sets the tempo for the Primarchs very well. Do need to see size comparrison with some termies as the primarchs are normally described as larger than terminators.

I've never been one to be too vocal about price, I've always been In the "its your choice, moaning does nothing" camp.

I know Forge World have always been expensive, even relative to normal GW.

I have to say some of these prices have taken my breath away though.

Will it stop me buying anything? No. Will it make me more inclined to massively scale back my 'just to have' purchases? You betcha. Only things pertaining to Raven Guard are now on my shopping list.

Worst of all, I've lost that little warm feeling I had that Forge World were somehow on 'our' side. Illogical I know, but I always thought the spirit of the old days was alive at the heart of Forge World. Now I know it isn't.

The price of the book I could handle, as others have stated its easy to spend more on similar items. But a 50% price hike on a Baneblade chassis tank? £50 for a single, fundamentally terminator size model? That goes beyond teeth sucking prices into out and out price gouging as far as I can see.

£50 for a Primarch.
I think I'll stick to my plan of only getting the Lion & Mortarion.

Didn't see this video posted up yet. Excitement level rising.

Can't wait to see a version painted up by one of the greats...

I agree with a lot of this, the prices are higher then I expected thus far, its not going to stop me from ordering things but its going to likely make me think twice about ordering a boat load of stuff. Pretty sure I wont be making nearly as many just to have purchases as I do with other stuff

Now that's a good box/presentation.

I'm intrigued to see what diorama's the others will get now.

I'm hoping that they WON'T be getting overly busy (and costly) diorama bases, but I know they will.

At least there's a 40mm option, even if it too is a bit too busy...

£50 for a single figure. That counts me out.

but its a single figure with TWO bases!

Oddly I'm ok with the pricing on the Primarch. I figure I'm gonna get all 18. And I'm likely to have them painted up professionally. To me these are display pieces and ones I might take out once in a while to play with but mostly display items. So I figure $75 every few months for a Primarch model isn't to crazy. I'm pretty sure the kabuki ones weren't priced much cheaper. Though I could be wrong.

There should be 19 (Alpharius and his twin). There might also be additional sculpts of certain popular Primarchs later. Fulgrim before and after possession? Horus during his show down with the Big E and another one. Khan on and off a bike?

I'll most likely buy them all just to paint them.

I think the price is tough to stomach. I hope they do the daemon prince forms of each of the ones who go that way.

I'm ok with the pricing too, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised that he's not £80. I would now consider getting him on Sunday at GD even though fluffwise he's one of the Primarchs I'm least interested in.

By comparison, he costs £10 more than the Ork Warboss on a bike, and he comes in a really nice presentation box, rather than just a plastic bag with a FW card label stapled to the top.

Pounds (dollars) to points wise as well, I think he's probably one of the best value units from FW.


Does anyone know how it works at GD:UK when buying stuff from FW? I haven't been for about 15 years but I'm going on Sunday. Do you need to know exactly what you want to buy before you go or can you browse through stuff and pick bits and bobs up as you go round the FW section and then go and pay at the end??

Just trying to work out if I need to memorise the FW catalogue before I go and write a wish list of the stuff I want??

You can just tell them at the stall they have. There's a few sets strewn about but you can get the rest on your request (hope that helped).

It'd be cool if Fulgrim's and Ferrus's interlocked to form a single diorama. Ferus could come with a removable head, too!

I love everything about him apart from the cape which seems a bit too much. Can't wait to see him with a good paintjob. The FW artists are amazing on tanks, not so much on infantry.

anyone else got a bad feeling that hes gonna be in limited number and not just for gamesday i hope and think he will be made in abundant but im kinda scared in case he isnt

If he were they'd make a bigger deal of that fact. They're most certainly selling this to go along with the campaign, which doesn't work if they so drastically restrict it. It probably doesn't take much more in the way of resources as their other 3 figure kits but with a huge margin. They will sell these until the masters break.

How do you mean, sorry, I'm not clear on what you are saying here.

Have to agree with Tom's observation that the axes are a bit plain (even considering the World Eaters probable disdain for ornamentation) and I'm not a fan of the chestplate, but I think its still an excellent model and fantastic representation of a Primarch. The face and archaic/gladatorial armour in particular are highlights for me.
Great job Forgeworld.

I know I said I wouldnt buy the book due to the price but I'll be buying Angron and using him as a counts as Terminator Lord with a unit of Cataphract terminators with Lightning Claws..

Blood for the Blood God......

This would be the reasurrance you need, from Forge World's facebook page: 'To set your collective minds at rest, none of our Horus Heresy pre-releases at Games Day are limited or exclusive to Games Day. They will all be available to order, in exactly the same format as their Games Day version, in the few weeks after the event. So don't worry!'

Really nice presentation box? please clarify, what's so nice about this box? and in what way/s does a presentation box differ from a box?

They are twins that frequently pose as each other. You only need one model, maybe two for the sake of different poses, but they won't be that different.

I don't think he really needs to explain/clarify much more than what he said.

The little box he comes in looks to be very similar to the nice, silver inlaid "Book Holders" that came with the "Siege of Vraks" campaign books.

It's still a cardboard box, certainly, but it looks nice.

I didn't know Siege of Vraks came with a book sleeve! I have the badab war book sleeve, though.

Damn. I'm missing out.
