They look like they were stolen from a Warhound titan, rather than a Knight.
After staring at it for a good five minutes, I think it's the side-ways proportions of it as well as the knee joint which makes it look weird.

Polite request for anyone attending the open day tomorrow :
I'm sure people would be very happy if you could ask about any ETA for updated AoSigmar compliant rules for their fantasy range.
Thanks in advance.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

The Alpha Legion stuff looks solid. The helmets look different but somehow like every Legion could use them (which fits the Alpha Legion perfectly).
Perturabo looks good, but final judgement has to wait until I see a picture of the whole model. As you I am interested if Forgebreaker will be part of the model.
This chaos thing however ... the proportions look very ugly.

Also, whoever is going, take a lot of pictures. Ple-e-e-e-ese.
P.S. O.K., I just red through all math tables on 1d4chan and Alpharius gets killed by every Primarch. What the hell? Unless there is a miniature of Omegon coming up with his special rules where two of them actually become "one Primarch", I think Alpharius has a really dumb set of rules. Can anyone who is going to FW Open Day ask if there is a plan to have another HH campaign book with AL where Omegon appears? Thanks, much appreciated.

Better yet, could someone ask if there's any chance we'll see real Warhammer revived as a Heresy-esque project by the FW team? Huge longshot, obvie, but I'm still in the Bargaining stage right now.
EDIT: And I don't just mean the game rules, I mean the Old World fluff too.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

Alpharius is widely considered one of the best primarchs. He has some of the best army buffs, and despite the fact that he loses to any other primarch in a duel, he's actually a combat beast too. His brother primarchs can brag that they would theoretically beat him if only games lasted a few turns longer, but Alpharius has rules like armourbane and instant death that make him lethal in combats that will actually be resolved before the end of the game.

Blood Angel and Dark Angel upgrades. Unremembered Empire tie in with the Shadow Crusade for the next book?

They're getting upgrade sets and possibly ROWs for every legion they haven't done yet so everyone has something; we saw the WS ones at the last event.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
White Scars, Blood Angels and Dark Angels are all in the next book. They will have legion rules but no characters or legion specific units.
Book 6 will cover shattered legions and will focus on players creating own narratives for small scale engagements.
Future book will be Thramas and Signis Prime (mirroring the old Blood Angels/Dark Angels codex)
Prospero may not even be book 7. They need to ensure that they can produce the entire range quickly and efficiently and not keep people waiting. To create all the models needed for Prospero would take about a year.

Book 6 will be another shattered legions similae to Conquest? What about the Shadow Crusade?

Conquest doesn't touch the Shattered Legions at all, afaik. They were meant to be in there but it got too big. And I dunno about that, it was meant to be book 6 but at the last event they said they didn't know anymore, the order hadn't been finalised. Until it's announced properly it's always open to change.
