hopefully they will just reless Horus on there next games day, they said before there ideal rate would be 2 books a year and 3-4 primarchs(IIRC) and i cannot wait to see the rest of the choas/40k guys get there dues.

i also love this kharn, the 40k one is ok but he is so static, so i love the motion of this one. and the weapon options.

Hm, maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but afaik Horus is the confirmed 5th Primarch to be unleashed upon us. Don't need no new teaser as he will be upon us pretty soon

I'm going to buck the trend and say I don't think that Kharn model is up to much - it's too static. The way he has his leg cocked reminds me of a dog and a lamppost!

I think that Kharn and Angron's poses are WAAY too similar, myself

The helmet does look better

I prefer the helmeted head on kharne. I like the model and will likely buy it to paint as a show piece. Id love to see a modern scheme on him though

I love the model but I want 100 of that helmet!

Part of me thinks that the bare head would work as Eliphas

"Eliphas, open a Portal." "No, I think not!"

Yeah, I remember that picture, but at that time there were no clues regarding the near release of either Typhon or Kharn. Therefore I think they want to use one of their big events to promote the release of Hours and this might be Open Day ...

That bare head on kharn looks awsome to me, it's just the helmet looks better for kharn. Definitely a great head to use eals wear in a army.

I've only barely been able to resist jumping into HH and building a WE army. So when I see things like this, I feel like they're targeted directly at me. Curse you, FW...you know I'm going to cave.

I'm with you, if the pics hadn't arrived in my inbox from FW themselves, I'd have just assumed this was a kitbash by a reasonably competent hobbyist, if someone thinks it is awesome, great, but I'm not seeing whatever it is they're seeing.

Welcome to how I've felt about most of the Horus Heresy character releases.

There's too much weathering IMO. A little chipping on white goes a long way. The model has lots of great details, but the chipping breaks up the lines and obscures it.

My WE (again, curse you FW) will be a little cleaner-looking.

You think almost every character the FW has released in the HH series looks like a dog taking a leak?

OK...

Totally agree. Forgeworld has a weird habit of overdoing the weathering on white armor

Negative, Alph.

I think they're very uninspiring/static.

Loken/Abaddon were awesome but the rest have felt like they missed the mark.

Ya I have to agree a bit here... Kharn isn't... Kharny enough. And though they are nice models in general except for the primarchs I have found the other ones... just good. I guess I'm just interested in something new as opposed to de-spikey'ed CSM characters. I am a bit tired of SM and GW in general though, so 4-5 years ago I probably would have been thrilled.

Here comes Kharn

I've waited what feels like a thousand years for this....

I may not be up to speed on HH World Eaters fluff, but isn't his helmet kind of... modern looking?

Kharn is all wrong, they make a MASSIVE deal about how he has NO scars on his face in betrayer, and lo and behold model has scars, silly

Those aren't scars

just chipping & weathering, LOL

Honestly I'm just going to use the Mohawk head in the new SM box.
Looks much more "Kharn" IMO

To those wondering about horus and mortarion, at gamesday it was suggested that horus would appear around the HH weekender time, and Simon Egan had calls dibs on mortarion, this May have changed since then though. Also they said they were having issues deciding on a pose for him as there's only 1 or 2 ways to pose a dude with a scythe and they wanted to come up with something a little less obvious. Also also there might be an angron re sculpt soon ish as he's a bit small compared to the other primarchs.

Just saying that better not be Gorechild because Angron has it on his fig.

He is a bit underwhelming

It is gore child, kharn aquires it in 1 of the books after angron discards it, in his rules you can pick whether to use gore child or his weapon prior to gore child (the name escapes me). And if you have angron with gore child kharn cannot use it.

Totally underwhelmed by this, as I am by all of the HH sculpts by this sculptor. This is the second FW model that I have looked at and thought I could probably kitbash something similar. The other was the magos vacuum cleaner thing. I think there is a tendency when FW release a model for people to rave about it just because it's FW, but I don't think this is a great sculpt due to odd pose and lack of anything that makes it stand out (other than the base).

QFT, I've noticed this trend with a lot of recent stuff too.
It's sad really, and a lot of it is still very good, but once upon a time FW was absolutely amazing and it just isn't anymore imo.
