Kronk is always just jealous when more studs get showcased.

I like that Contemptor, it definitely leaks character.

Quiet, you!

Also, I'd love to go to one of those BL Weekenders...

Wow. That's tasty.

Man, I REALLY want a reason to get that contemptor but at the moment my interest in 40k is pretty dead so if I did it would be purely to paint :/

Very pretty indeed!

Hopefully a primarch on the 20th.

I'm not a fan of the studs on the shoulders, but it's an otherwise excellent looking miniature.

I agree, the studs leave me a bit cold. How ever if you only had studs on the legs it would just look wrong. So i think it's better with the studs then without.

It looks like more of a fashion statement then a warmachine....

And most FW newsletters I get with new announcements come around noon CST here. My point is that there is still time for further news and that there might be (although I doubt it) more news on the way for the "mysterious 2/20 announcement."

Those look amazing. FW really knows how to showcase a model. That video makes me want those models and I don't even collect marines.

Pictures pictures pictures!






More!

Beautiful models! And hey, FW can paint infantry after all.

Hi there,


In this week’s newsletter, the second in our series of special Horus Heresy character sets is available to pre-order – the infamous Ezekyle Abaddon, First Captain of the Sons of Horus, and the noble Garviel Loken, Last Captain of the Luna Wolves. We’ve also added a new interview to our YouTube channel, and we’ve got some events news for you.

Abaddon and Loken



Ezekyle Abaddon, First Captain of the Sons of Horus and Master of the Justaerin, was one of the most renowned and fanatically loyal commanders of the XVIth Legion. A hulking brute of a Space Marine, whispered rumour had long speculated that he was the clone-progeny of the Warmaster himself. Regardless, Abaddon walked willingly into treachery alongside his master, slaughtering many of his former comrades on the blasted fields of Isstvan III, and soon his name was amongst the most feared and despised of the traitor Horus’ followers.

Garviel Loken once commanded the 10th Company of the Luna Wolves Legion; later the Sons of Horus. He was a well-respected and senior commander, and one of the Mournival, the unofficial cadre of Horus’ closest advisors. His idealism and staunch loyalty to the Emperor and Humanity saw him selected to command the Sons of Horus contingent in the assault against the recidivists of Isstvan III. When the true scope of betrayal was revealed, Loken and his comrades cast aside their Legion name and proclaimed themselves Luna Wolves once more. They exacted a heavy toll on those they had once called brother, but it was as the Last Captain of the Luna Wolves that Garviel Loken fell.

This very special pair of models are supplied in a particularly handsome presentation box, just like Angron, and Abaddon and Loken are multi-part resin models, each packed with Legion-specific iconography. Each is dynamically posed and supplied on 40mm and 20mm bases respectively for gaming purposes. The figures also slot into a large scenic base to allow the fateful duel between the two to be represented.

Simon Egan has designed two stunningly detailed figures to depict these two most famous commanders of the Sons of Horus Legion. Loken is charging forward, his hatred of the traitors writ clear upon his features, while Abaddon is braced to receive his former brother’s assault, the Eye of Horus having replaced all Imperial iconography upon his armour. Abaddon is additionally supplied with two weapon options: an ornate power sword and the combi-bolter that his wargear includes for normal battlefield use.

The Abaddon and Loken set is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 1st March.

We felt that such incredible miniatures, and the cataclysmic duel that they are fighting, deserved some extra insight, and so we’ve uploaded a new video to our YouTube channel. Simon Egan explains some of the design process behind these two special characters, alongside close-up shots of the incredible level of detail that he has achieved.

55 pounds seems like a very excessive price though. I would be happy just buying Abaddon minus the rest of the whole scene!

Those models look absolutely glorious. A definite purchase though my only fear would be not doing the model's justice.

The HH models are really great. I'm resisting the urge to start a 30k army. I have too many armies as is.

I only count 7, maybe 8 skulls on that diorama. That's shameful FW, time to pick up the game. I see room for at least another half dozen.

I wish i could say i was doing that but i am a hundred marines in.

Abaddon is absolutely terrific!
God, I love this.

That really blows away my expectations ... great models. Sadly I just made an order yesterday so it will take awhile until make a new one. But then Abaddon and Loken will be on the top of my list ... and hopefully the next primarch is around the corner as well.

I agree this looks fantastic. Wanted a model of Loken since reading the first three HH books. Shame he's not available separately. If I had the cash this would be a very quick way to spend £55

Did I misunderstand that thing in the books about all the Luna Wolves repainting their armour while waiting for the big assault?

Ordered.

Very nice models. I've yet to get anything from the 30k era, but this might be my first buy.
