Perturabo IMHO looks awesome!! Wasn't ever too interested in HH Era IW..... but read Angel Exterminatus recently and I thought their descriptions and characters were pretty cool! Looks like an awesome model too! ..... I wonder who his Legions "other" character will be??

Well, Nârik Dreygur is an Iron Warriors character with rules and a model.

Me being pedantic aside, I would love to see some more of the character series filled out. There are so many with rules but no model, and so many more with names but neither models or rules. I love making conversions as much as the next guy, but I'll be honest and say the FW team runs circles around anything I can cobble together.

@MajorWes: That's nuts! Pretty impressive though considering how much they cost to buy. Love the name you've given your Warlord by the way

47 already? Sheesh. That's quite a chunk of change. And a large chunk of resin for 47.

49 and 50 are accounted for on Warseer. And IIRC, they sold 11 at WHW, and took preorders for 25 more, so that takes us to 36 already. So at least 14 in the first day or two. Plus there are the 3-4 FW has for themselves for display.

You think 47 is high - I got no.91

@Phutarf: Don't you have enough to do with that giant cathedra you're building?

Yep. That and half a tonne of other FW goodness...

He can slap the giant cathedral on top of his Warlord.

Also, someone posted this on the BolS FB page with regards to Perturabo, alleging that GW was lazy and just did a digital re-sculpt of Horus. Thoughts? Personally for me, it's the same pose, but there are enough subtle nuances in their differences like the minute angles that make me belief that they weren't based on the same digital sculpt, rather just use a "classic" heroic pose.

They're similar heroic poses and have the same "artistic inspiration", but they're very different sculpts.

Also, I don't know if this goes here, but with the recent release of AoS.. They replaced Bob the Space Marine out front of WW! :(

I was expecting the warlord certificate to be more gaudy, gold edging or something - also, i was expecting them to change the date of issue to nearer M30.

With regards to the rumoured redesign thing - i would imagine that they start with a (nice link here) 'standard template' (wink wink) which was constructed (hint hint) in 3d about a skeletal frame so they could save time and not have to sculpt each suit of armour seperately with inevitable scaling problems. So i sympathise with them on that.

I'm in denyal about the loss of bob. he's just spent some points on an iron halo, artificer armour and a TH/SS combo...

I KNOW! I was at Warhammer World on Monday for the first time, and I think they had changed it sometime during the previous week. I was so sad, but they hadn't replaced te Rhino with a horse stable or something so that was ok. Still, putting a lot of eggs in Sigmars basket to be replacing the classic Space Marine. But such is life.

Also, is Perturabo the first Primarch to have two weapon options; The hammer/fist?

Yeah I think he is, but that's because he gets Ferrus Manus' Forgebreaker as a gift from Horus later on, so it seems right that they should model him with it.

He's the first model to have two options yeah, a couple of the others have options in their rules (Fulgrim, Corax).

Exactly. Similar, but very different in their execution. I'm also certain that that is probably one of the only angles you can see any similarity between the two.

In another grand display of tactical supremacy geedubs has replaced the statue of their most iconic and enduring property, the space marine, with some shiny bloke coming from a game that I think a whole 2 people have actually enjoyed playing.

Good show GW, good show.

At least it stayed in the family with Rob the Sigmarine taking his place.

Woohoo

But yeah the SM was iconic. I wonder where they shipped him

With digital sculpts, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same core design from earlier in the process but I definitely wouldn't consider the end product to be the same though.

I think the Space Marine statue is still at WHW but in a different place.

Yep, forgotten under a set of stairs behind a giant Age of Sigmarines BUY BUY BUY display. Not kidding.

He got moved to the restroom


After all those years of standing on guard outside they finally let him take a breather.

Nope, they showed that off at the Open Day last weekend. Sorry.

It's a few pages back.

Y'know, at certain angles, he could pass as a Space Marine with artificer armour, TH/SS...

He looks like he's plotting his revenge...

Quite sneaky for a marine. Alpha Legion, perhaps?

It is why the Iron Warriors turned. They felt cast off, left to rust on backwater worlds.

That picture - so awesome!

Looks like it could be used for a few Memes, yes?

Exalted!

And really, IF GW had a sense of humor, they'd paint him up as one double quick-like!

Possibly Raven Guard.... (but then that could still be Alpha Legion )
