They're better as mythical, inhuman figures than they are pathetic, whiny characters.

Where did Pathetic and Whiny come from?

The lion.

And I hope it comes out at the same time as that new fantasy campaign and all the fun OnG stuff that will be with it as well, so I can get my forgeworld order done in one shipping payment ^^

I personally can't wait to see Dorn, Sanguinius and Fulgrim.

They were never inhuman on a psychological level.

Model-wise, probably Mortarion. Rules-wise, definitely Magnus. Several hundred points of pure psychic badass? Yes please.

Rules, you say? Can anyone tell me more about this please as I don't get allowed out much and have not heard this before? I'm guessing stats will be greater daemon stylee, though.

I can't wait for leman russ.

I'd like to see Mortarion as i want to collect a pre-herest Death Guard army. Rules wise i'd be interested in Alpharius. I'd also be really interested in Night Haunters model.

If they do the siege of the Imperial Palace i'd hope they put out Custodes models.

You do know that the only model that they've done so far is Angron?

Nope! but thanks!

Vulkan.

The only Space Marine chapter I've been able to 'get into', collecting wise, has been Salamanders, so getting Vulkan would be awesome.

I don't know if I'd ever build a heresy ere army around him, but just as a display peice it would be great.

Dorn, of course. Not that I'd be likely to use him on the table as I don't play 30k and using him in 40k... well, But if the model is cool, might get it at some point.

Forgeworld made Legion army list rules in Horus Heresy: Betrayal, as well as special units and Primarchs for the Sons of Horus, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, and World Eaters. More is on the way.

After seeing the monster that Mortarion can be on the battlefield, I'm really excited to see what the model will come out like.

I'm biased, but I'd also like to see Alpharius/Omegon. Not sure how they'd do it, really. Maybe make them look almost like normal Space Marines, just with a different pose. Actually, I'd just like to see some Alpha Legion special rules. Something like "I am Alpharius", where Alpharius can be depicted with any model and you don't have to say which one he is.

Forge World is tackling the Horus Heresy. HH1: Betrayal came out last year, and covered the Isstvaan III incident. Mortarion, Horus, Angron, and Fulgrim were given stats. FW has also said that they'll be doing stats and a model for the Emperor, eventually.

HH2 and 3 will cover the drop site massacre. No other books have been announced, yet.

They're making an entire line of models to support it, including Primarchs.

Just note...

If gullyman looks like Calgar and not like sicarius, I will let Mat ward write C:SM.

Magnus the Red.

I am interested to see if they go for his Prospero appearance (A one-eyed, copper-skinned giant), or his post-Prospero appearance (An entity of pure Immaterium, forsaking his physical shell).

Or the goofy big blue cyclops from epic days...I hope for the former of your list...I would imagine that they could easily do multiples of the primarchs who fall to chaos. The first could be them as they are before they fall and the second could be them once they have been corrupted.

Have you read any of the HH novels?? The primarchs are pretty whiny and petty for being the ulimtate generals.

I want to see the lion followed by luther that would be cool.
would they be the last ones to be done you think?
The emperor with custodian guard would be awesome too along with valdor.

Magnus should be fun. In epic 40k he could blast titans apart without breaking a sweat.

If I'm going to buy a model, however, it would probably be Corax, he has the potential to look fething amazing.
I would have said Angron, but I'm really not keen on the forgeworld model of him that has been released, he should be more like the massively wide oversize beserker from the cover of Butchers Nails imho.

Corax and Curze probably have the most dynamic potential. But my favorite Primarch(s) is Alpharius Omegon and I would like to see them.

I want to see what look they give Horus. Hope they can do him justice.

Sanguinius too, he's begging for a cool model. And Leman Russ? If they base Leman Russ on a Dreadnought base like they put Angron AFAIK, Space Wolf players might be able to run him in normal games, using him as an uber Thunderwolf lord. Also, I wonder what will they do for the most mysterious of the primarchs, Alpharius. I guess it'll just have to be a mystery.

Angron, Fulrgim, and Dorn are the three models I would love to see.

Sense they have already done Angron (which I enjoyed) that just leaves an offical Fulgrim and Dorn (both which already have some nice unoffical models out there on the internet)

Dorn better have his high aquila collar, thats awesome
Gulliman, I dont really like
The Lion im interested to see
Fulgrim should have long, flowing hair
Angron has already been done
Lorgar I reckon will have scrolls or something
Pertuabo will probably look like a techmarine or something
Horus im wondering if hes Luna Wolved Horus or Sons of Horus Horus
Ferrus Manus may have his arms bared
Corax will have a jet pack
Alpharius could be like conjoined twins or two different models (for Omegon)
Curze could have skull visages on his armour
Magnus could be cyclopean or like flowing energy
Mortarion could have rotten armour and WILL have his scythe
Leman Russ may be wolflike
Jaghatai I reckon could be on a jetbike or weilding a two-handed scimitar
Sanguinius will have his wings
Vulkan could have a hammer or something blacksmithy

Dorn's collar is always popped.

So frat.

Just thinking on Sanguinius, and while I may be an exception to the rule, I think quantity = quality for him. By that I mean I'd rather pay £100 for massive, outstreched, aweinspiring wings than £50 for a folded pair.

The opposite is true for Horus, whom I'd prefer a simple, elegant model for, rather than a "Uberglorious Master of Eeeeevil"

This.

I'm a sucker for any traitor primarch, but the ones I most want to see are, in this order:

Alpharius
Perturabo
Sanguinius
Lorgar

Alpharius especially because I'm really interested to see how they approach it. And Sanguinius is about the only loyal primarch I like, but I'm a fanboy of him and his BAs.

Khan.

Mongol stereotype besides, I think he could make an awesome model. Blanche's work (whatever your opinions, um Magnus? really?) makes him look terrible.

Granted I love pole-weapons but I think Khan could be made to look super fierce with a glaive just straight mowing through people. Number 1 underrated primarch in my opinion. Especially since they retconned the fierceness recently to the White Scars.

When all is said and done, I'll have all of the FW Primarchs and other HH special characters that FW releases (Loken vs. Abaddon).

You realize that at the pace they are going that it will take at least 10 years.... Probably longer before all of them are released.

When Angron first came out, I was hoping we'd see a new model every 3 months and a new book once a year. Well.. It's been 5 months and they might release a couple minor characters next month...maybe.

The math on that isn't good. Maybe they'll finish it up in another 25 years and have an anniversary party. Or, more likely, most people will lose interest long before they finish.

Meh.

I haven't seen anything which indicates the big E is going to have a model or rules, I recall a few interviews where FW types were saying they specifically don't want to do him because A) the power level is off the charts, and B) some things should stay off the tabletop.

I mean really, what would the Emperor be? 5k points, thinks people out of existence?

That was also a long time ago, those same interviews said the primarchs would never have stats..Well look at what the book has, four primarch's, One of them being Horus!
