Do love the mastodon. Thinking of getting one at some point and turning it over to the AdMech. Someday -_-

Looks huge and beefy and a crap ton of resin to make. Did you get to see it on "sprue's" ( ie with the pour channels and vents, etc etc etc?) or just assembled as is?

I would love to see it as you get it in the package. I bet that thing is huge. I know they told us the price, but in my old age I seem to have forgotten it?

BTW did you bug them about Dorn until security had to 'escort' you out?

They really need to get on making the unreleased Primarchs...when were the last ones released, six months ago at least?

They know of my Dornish Displeasure!

They did not have one on sprues, though.

It's high time, in my opinion - I want my friggin' Lion!

Or you could add it to your Deathwatch from DWO. It'd be pretty hilarious having that thing smash its way into a stealer cult hideout lol.

Seems a little bullish for the DW. Can cry much see it as a assaulting c&c vehicle for a AdM war convocation though. Wouldn't need a lot of fooling around with. Just change out some weapons and add iconography in the vein of what I did with the Dracosan. It's an expensive bit of kit though and I do already have a Titan on the way so think I'll backburner the idea for a wee while yet

Looks pretty good. Human and wolf face from the backpack next to each other, both with a snarl, nice detail!

If they could release him while the shipping offer was on, That would be lovely

Meh. Looks good, but not Secutarii, new IA book, or announcement of new Titan weapons.

No, but he is one step closer to the release of The Lion, and that's what I care about.

that's all we ALL care about, I wonder if russ will have a rule called "glass Jaw" when he fights the lion lol

That's gotta mean ALPHARIUS, right?!?

All kidding aside, I'll be picking up that Russ sculpt - eventually!

Still waiting on El'Johnson, hopefully he's next. It is good to see them making progress though.

Magnus is after Russ.

Jon Snow?

I'm dying to see Magnus and what kind of units they give to the Thousand Sons. We haven't seen much in the way of Librarians so far. It would be cool to see how they make Thousand Sons feel powerful, balanced, but at the same time a lower model count army.

I wonder if the Russ/Magnus sculpts will be similar to the Ferris/Fulgrim interlocking bases...

Did those two come to blows with each other? It's been a long time since I read that book.

Must have been a very very long time ago to forget one of the most important parts of the entire Heresy :p Yes, Magnus and Russ fought.

And what else did Kronk get to touch while at GenCon?

Anyway, while I love these big models like the Mastodon and the Stormbird, their price is just too prohibitive for me. Too many dollars for my wallet, and too many points to be usable in most games I play. Looking forward to seeing the rest of Russ and the other things they have in store for us for the next HH book.

I'm kinda bummed Russ is never shown with a beard. It seems much more in keeping with his character that he'd have a wild beard to rival his mane.

Russ broke Magnus' back over his knee after a duel.

Russ looks awesome, nice to see some truly impressive sculpting after a few lacklustre models that they have produced recently.

This makes me interested to see what Magnus looks like. I hate all the artwork for him though and FW seem pretty good at sticking to the original sketches so far.

Honestly I'm just pumped for the Prospero book. I've been saving up for it since the HH range was launched many years ago!

They keep making the bases for characters larger and more elaborate- Pertuabo is standing on a wrecked knight. It would make perfect sense for a broken magnus to be the epic model Russ is standing on for his base, and justify another price increase on primarchs...

A pile of fourteen dead Magnuses; Magnus duplicates himself with magic, but it doesn't help against the might of Le Man, Russ! Also the two redacted Primarchs feature as corpses on the base as well.

I hope it does interlock, maybe then the great wits* of the internet can go around constantly repeating the same five broken back jokes for the next few years rather than the same five beheading jokes.
