Also, a Word Bearer Diabolist cannot take cataphractii armor... Lol.

**BigWaaagh**

I can only think of about 100 ideas for that Daemon manifestation bit snaking up from his hand. Why do I see myself buying a couple of these and cannibalizing one or two...

As a Night Lords player, I shake my head a bit fluff wise at this. But hey, at least FW is using our scheme on event models now. I'd paint him as a Word Bearer, Thousand Sons, or the Son of Horus that got possessed.

(the books all talk about the dislike of psyker and demons. Sevatar had choice words about them and the Gal Vorbak)

A strong underlying theme is the splintering of the Legions. That guy may well be a former Night Lord verging on black shield who does what he wants.

I'm not saying this is the case, but Praevians didn't exist until FW wrote rules to go with the event exclusive miniature. This could be something new meant to just represent the first steps of librarians towards chaos sorcerers.

**Nevelon**

He could be a Space Wolf. Rune axe, communing with one of the natural spirits of Fenris.

Totally not psychic powers and/or sorcery.

Interesting mini, but I don’t see him fitting in on the table. Diorama? Heck yah! But he’s a little too overdone for a normal game IMHO.

Unpainted pics of the Tartaros guy:

I actually quite like him unpainted.

**zedmeister**

Nice! Would make a nice Legion Champion!

**BrookM**

Head looks modular as well, so happy times for those who don't like that bit.

**em_en_oh_pee**

Oh wow! Unpainted, that Tartaros dude looks outstanding. Amazing the difference the paintjob made. Now I want one!

And I notice it is the barest hint of an eagle without being an actual Aquila, but is still a good homage to the Raptor that Unification vets wore. Very nice!

Which day is that guy for sale? Might have to make a trip to snag one.

25th June I think. I wasn't gonna bother but I'm reconsidering.

**Thanatos73**

Is he only available in the UK, or will he be available in GW stores everywhere?

This is what i want to know too. The "finecast" the 100th NA store was made from seemed like a improvement over the finecast of yesteryear. It seems like they did something to fix the production issues. I wonder if they will use the same process for this guy.

This guys just straight up forge world resin, no finecast at all.

**Yaraton**

I called my local GW store today and they confirmed everything except the price. It's going to be "first come first served" and "while the stocks last". The guy I spoke to thinks that the approximate price will be about $60 CAN.

**skrulnik**

That Tartaros termie looks like Brock Lesnar

**Lythrandire Biehrellian**

Babyface terminators for the win!

**BrookM**

**zedmeister**

brilliant.

**VeteranNoob**

I fething love these. GW social medias are great.

**Mr Morden**

Thats great fun

**angelofvengeance**

Loving that

**Ankhalagon**

Awesome!

**Yaraton**

FW should print t-shirts like that.

**Peregrine**

DICE!

And transfers!

**BrookM**

Ah feth, still no red book.

I expect Alpharius to order at least a dozen of those Alpha Legion packs though.

**zedmeister**

£16 for 16 dice! Bloody hell...

**Ankhalagon**

Still no Mechanicum-dice or transfers.....

**edbradders**

Anyone know what those squiggly symbols are in the middle of the world eaters transfer sheet? Can't make them out

**Thraxas Of Turai**

For anybody ordering the dice just be wary that the initial batch that were sold at Warhammer fest had some quality control issues, my Alpha Legion ones certainly did. Hopefully they are all sorted now.

This is a 2 supposedly

And the die on the right, perhaps it is not very clear, has the hydra symbol sunken in the middle

**Yaraton**

I just realized that EC, DG and WE have pre-Heresy symbols on their dice and AL has the post-Heresy symbol. What's up with that?
