Probably Curze.

makes sense, since he is the last Primarch from book 2 without a model...
book 1 Primarchs have been done, and they haven't touched any of the ones from book 3...

i really look forward to seeing what they do with The Night Haunter...
30K Batman, anyone???

cheers
jah

I do hope we get to some more Solar Auxillia Imperial Army in the coming weeks, really looking forward to them.

I understand everybody wants to see more Primarchs, but personally I hope we get some other special characters as well - e.g. Sevetar. I remember the Calas Typhon model came out of nowhere, so perhaps they are already working on something. I could see Edgar Skomorowski doing Sevetar as warm-up followed by Curze ...

Sounds like some sort of grimdark reality program.

My source says Kurze

So today's release is... The knight cerastus with volkan mega bolter?

Unfortunately FW hardly releases the stuff that would make sense. Regarding the Character Series I would like to see some Emperor's Children stuff from the first book.

That's what's on the menu today:

NIGHT LORDS LEGION CONTEMPTOR DREADNOUGHT

IRON WARRIORS LEGION CONTEMPTOR DREADNOUGHT



http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/IRON_WARRIORS_LEGION_CONTEMPTOR_DREADNOUGHT.html

Wouldn't it make more sense to start selling the stuff they had on preorder at gencon before releasing newer stuff?

Both those Comtempters are just awesome.

Yeah, I put some stuff together to convert a Saul Tarvitz, but a Lord Commander Eidolon model by FW would be nice.

Yeah...
That's a bummer but ah well. They look cool!

Oh my god, I'm so happy! Say hello to my Iron Warrior Bjorn!

Not a fan of the IW one looks a bit like a patch work quilt but the NL one looks great.

The Iron Warrior one still looks like a couple of Meks got to it to me.

Night Lords one is boss but I think it could do with the heads/skulls being a little bit smaller and distributed elsewhere on the model. Having them all bunched up on the chest looks a little off.

I hope that it is. I really want one. I saw two variants in the pictures from the FW show and wonder if you buy the body and the weapons seperately. I hope so, but I'll probably buy them both if they were different models.

That Night Lord Contemptor is amazing.

Slight change of tack, but for anyone else who was wondering: Hector Rex is out of stock, but is not being Landship'd; the master moulds are at the studio to undergo work and he should return in the future according to their CS guys.

More Dreads that aren't Imperial Fists boohoo :(

lol, true but remember not everyone like Dorn and his sons....he was hated by at least two to my memory; PERTURABO and KONRAD CURZE both tried to kill him

Not a fan of the Iron Warrior one, but that Night Lords Contemptor is dead sexy.

If only possessed/ chosen didn't suck ass. Id totally pick up 20 of these otherwise!

Use 'em as normal CSM that just happen to have extra-kickass models.

Use the Gal Vorbak as Mutilators?

so looks like the raven guard contemptor is next, and it's pretty good looking

I'm a big Raven Guard fan, and I'm struggling to remember where all this 'tribal marking' fluff could be coming from?

I don't remember anything like it being mentioned in anything I've read about Deliverance (Lycaeus) or the Hive World Kiavahr.

Or about Corax either.

It seems a bit of an odd choice.

Tribal markings/prison tattoos , those rebels in cages like their artwork. They probably figured since space sharks are their descendents that their tribal tattoos had to come from someplace, and it couldn't be the people the sharks harvest their scouts from.

I rather like the addition of impressionistic markings (wild mashup of Aboriginal/Maori/Polynesian styles), gives the XIXth Legion a bit more depth and character.

As for the origin of the art it is mentioned briefly in HH3: Extermination as being an artform of Lychean slave-miners and other fragments hints that elements of it are influenced by the cultural background of the original XIX recruits, since the XIXth almost exclusively recruited from the Xeric tribes of the asiatic dustfields, a region south or south-west of the Yndonesic Bloc wich would put it in the modern-day Australian/Polynesian region.
From here is also derived the first cognomens of the XIXth, the 'Pale Nomads' or 'Dust Clad'.

So yeah, Aussies in space.

So it is from a recent source then?

Makes me feel better that I haven't forgotten something!

Yepp, more or less all of it comes from HH:3, wich also more or less explains the origins of the Carcharodons Astra as a legion element assigned as a nomad-predation fleet to the galactic fringe under the command of Shade Lord Arkhas Fal and almost exclusively made up from Terran veterans. Shade Lord Fal commanded the XIXth before it's reunion with Corax and the two didn't get along at all.

They've been discussing this on B&C quite a lot, the consensus seems to be that the Polynesian aspect was introduced in the most recent HH book to make Raven Guard pre-Corax very different to what they become after being re-united with him.

Some, rather uncharitable, suggested it's an attempt to give the RG some character.

It makes sense now - I haven't really looked the the latest HH book yet, so now I know why I 'missed' this aspect of the RG.

I'm OK with it, as it 'makes sense' to have the Terran based elements of the RG represented by this - explains why we 'haven't heard of it' yet too!
