You always say that in guessing games.

Well, when it was Dreadfleet, I was totally right.

What's a thallax?

Mechanicum power armoured infantry from Betrayal.

Read the thread, p9

Same armor pattern?

I thought it might be Abaddon but the armour at the knee is different.

Those look like chains or some much busier pattern hanging from Abbadon's crotch.

I have pants just like that. I wear them clubbing, and also sometimes when I go shopping in the morning.

I thought Abaddon didn't get the claw until the end of the Heresy.

I doubt it's a Thallax. The critter on the right is a Thallax torso.



My money's on a deathshroud terminator, actually. Maybe a DG Terminator Praetor type, if they went the limited GD release route.

or maybe Morlock terminators

That's not Horus' claw on Abaddon in that picture. Abaddon has a power fist and a power sword, I think.

Ok, forge world newsflash was sent out today with another jigsaw, and i've stuck them together. (sorry about the image editing quality)

It's not Abaddon, the jigsaw is wearing some form of tartaros armour, whereas Abaddon has a modified version of Cataphractii armour. Abaddon is armed with a master-crafted powerfist and a combi-bolter btw, so i have no idea why his model is shown wielding a power sword.

Terminator banner bearer?

Deathshroud with Manreapers.

I agree. I think it'll be the Deathshroud minis.

Nice.

Yep that vent on the chest is just like the deathguard contemptor dread. So im going with death shroud.

My first thought was that it would be Morty but I guess at the primarch price point it would need a more flashy base to be Morty

Agreed with the Deathshroud with Scythe guesses.

Yeah, if you look at the shaft on the left, there is a small handle just protruding at the top of the image, like the handle you might find on a scythe, so the deathshroud argument makes most sense.

Why would you think it was Abaddon?

Model isn't really ornate enough for Deathshroud, is it?

And Tartaros Pattern Terminator armor was out and about during the Heresy?

I didn't. I have just seen others suggesting it is (such as on the Forge World Facebook page). And he is the only non-primarch special character in the HH book that is wearing terminator armour.

Deathguard dont really do ornate.

Deathshroud without a Mortarion model doesn't make too much sense to me, personally...

I'm pretty sure Mortarian is going to be released sooner or later. Don't know if he's next or not though.

Tartaros armor for Deathguard seems off too...

Well, it just says it's something that's coming out next year.

Surely they'll eventually make a model for all 4 primarchs in the first HH book, plus Abaddon and Loken.

Maybe it's something else from the HH book. Legion Centurion Librarian in terminator armour and force Staff?

Alpharius, Tartaros pattern tactical dreadnought armor was one of the results of the terminator armor project together with the Cataphractii, Indominus (the ''regular'') and Saturnine (insofar unreleased) patterns and they were all in service at the end of the great crusade.

''Of these, the Indomitus pattern is perhaps the most widespread, due to its template being held on key Forge Worlds such as Mars, although Tartaros Pattern Terminator armour is also issued to the Veterans of a Chapter’s 1st Company. Perhaps the most advanced form of Tactical Dreadnought Armour, the Tartaros pattern shares many systems with the MkIV ‘Maximus’ pattern of power armour, and provides greater mobility for its wearer than the Indomitus pattern with no loss in durability or protection. ''

So essentially the Tartaros pattern was faster and more advanced than the lumbering Indominus and the downright slow Cataphractii, would it not then make sense for a Primarch's bodyguard to be issued with the best gear avalible? If they had Cataphractii armor Mortarion would leave them behind in the dust, he was kind of quick remember?

I think this is a thing borne from the idea that has been swimming around for a while that Cataphractii was the ''First'' type of terminator armor and the others where of newer manufacture. Thus all terminators should have Cataphractii armor. Or simply because it's a darn cool design, and we so like it when our toys look cool don't we?

Forge World have said on their Facebook page that most of the groundwork for Horus and Mortarion is done, but they haven't started Fulgrim yet, and it did take them 6 months to finish sculpting Angron.

Definately looks like the weapon could be the bottom of a manreaper !

It is probably mostly that - the 'look' being the issue.

Tartaros pattern Terminator armor looks really goofy - like a bad mishmash of Terminator and Power Armor, and looking worse for the effort!
