XV107 doesn't seem to have a shield generator, jet pack, or secondary weapons, so 3 of the 4 normal options for the normal nova reactor are out it would seem.

Word of Horus’ treachery has escaped Isstvan III and now the Legions loyal to the Emperor mobilise to make Horus, and those who follow him, account for their crimes. However, the depth of the betrayal is yet to be fully revealed.

Illustrated in full colour, The Horus Heresy Book Two - Massacre contains extensive background information on the dark deeds unleashed by the Traitor Legions upon their Loyalist brothers at the titanic battle of the Isstvan V Dropsite Massacre. Also within this book are detailed the histories of four new Legions which took part: the Iron Hands, Salamanders, Night Lords and Word Bearers, and an extensive campaign system so you can play out their battles on the tabletop. This 290 page book also includes additional entries for the Space Marine Legion Crusade Army list presented in The Horus Heresy Book One – Betrayal, as well as game rules for the Primarchs of the four newly described Legions, super-heavy vehicles and special characters featured in the story. Click here to see a trailer for Book One.

Lavishly decorated, this book is leather bound with inlaid metal detailing and foil-blocked page edging, and also features metal cleats to the corners of the book's casing impressed with the Imperial Aquila. This book is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 18th October. More news on The Horus Heresy Book Two – Massacre can be found in the Forge World Visual Feed, where writer Alan Bligh discusses what you can look forward to in the new tome. You can view a trailer for the book here.
You will require a copy of The Horus Heresy Book One – Betrayal and the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook to use the contents of this book.





Erebus was once the High Chaplain of the Word Bearers and venerated the Emperor as a divine being. When the Emperor chastised the Word Bearers for worshipping him, Erebus’ drive for spiritual knowledge led him into the welcoming arms of the Ruinous Powers and through their guidance he planned the downfall of the Emperor and all he had wrought.
Along with Erebus, Kor Phaeron has the ear of his Primarch and, more than any other individual, is responsible for Lorgar’s nature as a seeker after the truth, wherever that may lie and whatever terrible secrets it might reveal.

The latest additions to our Horus Heresy Character Series, Erebus and Kor Phaeron , designed by Edgar Skomorowski, are two multi-part resin kits with two scenic bases that can be combined into a single scenic diorama. Each individual is resplendant with fine details, from the runic script carved upon Erebus' head to the intricate lightning claws of Kor Phaeron's armour. This set is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 18th October. To see a video of Edgar talking about how he designed these infamous characters, click here.

Well he is a old man in termi armour and not a marine

I don't understand why they messed Kor Phaeron design; he looked much better in the WD preview:



Every change they did was for the worse. Face, the claws and the details of the armour were all better in the preliminary version.

I do like the claws on the model though. If I were doing a bird themed chapter I'd grab him and do some amputating. It almost makes me want to do a howling griffons detachment.

All I know is that the Sallies art is making me feel things I've never felt before.

That's not an excuse for why he looks like he's trying not to to gak his armour.

Completaly agree, the WIP head is awsome and I've already explained what the finished head looks like.

Though I think the rest of the model is great.

Unpainted, I think he looks fine. Could just be the paint job.

I like the new armor/pose better, but that original head is great. Too bad.


...either way, I may need him for a terminator inquisitor.

Nope, the WIP is still better.

Im not a fan of that WIP version of him, it just looks like a freddie Kruger in terminator armour to me.

I do like in the rear view that you can see how short he is compared to as Astartes. He's wearing armor within the Terminator armor and his feet are way above the Terminator's feet. It's like Centurion armor done right!

I wonder what his stats look like. I will be starting up a Word Bearers army to counter my Space Wolves Legion for sure.

I love the model far more than the WIP

It's just the face for me. Regardless of it resembling anything else, the first face is menacing and sneering - you can imagine him as a vindictive and embittered man, it just needed to be a touch smaller.

The head on the release model looks like one of the old gents at my grandad's monitored housing about to have a wee grump about his peas not being soft enough at dinner time.

he's an old old man on a regime of juvenent treatment. he should look sallow, old and crotchety.

IMO every other bare headed space marine is wrong. Since in literature they are described as being equine, bulbous and quite different to unmodified humans.

He's also quite possibly responsible for the whole Heresy, is a favoured devotee of the Chaos gods, and my mental image of him was always very close to the snarling and weathered face from the WiP, as opposed to the release model's face which looks like he's trying desperately to remember where he left his false teeth while trying not to piss himself.

I think that's Erebus.....

Also i had a thunk and decided that Korvtdae's head for make a perfect replacement.

How is that a bad thing?

On top of everything else, head swaps are possibly the easiest conversions to do, so...

Where is this WIP picture for comparison?

The WD pic is the WIP. Claws, chest piece, and head are some of the more obvious differences.

half way up this page (the WD page shot)

Have to say the final version is straight downgrade from the WIP.

From the face to the claws to the pose to the slightly angled shoulder pads, everything that was right with the WIP is wrong with the end result. Kinda weird.

I would have bough that WIP in an instant. This one? I can live without it.

Yeah, the WIP head is significantly better. I like the final claws though.

I think Erebus needs a top hat.

I don't recall that one. Source?

Besides, what are you considering canonical here? A novel? Fluff from WD and codices? Fluff from RT? Artwork? The figures that have been around longer than any of the rest?

Unless it does somehow have a sheild.

I was hoping for an alternate head for Erebus:
