Don't like what I see so far. Reminds me of Tim Curry from LEGEND



How is that a bad thing? He looks awesome!

Looks decent enough, but any wild guesses on how much it would cost, if legit? I don't know how much the FW primarchs are, but I've a feeling they're going to milk their first plastic primarch demon prince for all it's worth.

First guess would be maybe 60/75?

I want him to have blue skin, nevermind he's called Magnus the Red. Tzeentch is blue!

Tzeentch is all colours...

I should also point out that he has PINK horrors. Which is effectively a shade of red.

Tzeentch is the God of Change... so any colour can be Tzeentch.

What kind of rules would he have? Mastery Level 9?

FMC
Mastery lvl 5
2+ 4++
Can fire the same Witchfire spells multiple times
Gets to reroll 1's on Psychic dice
Deny the Witch on 4+
Gets to choose his spells
Only Perils on Double 6's
Fear
EW
FUN Tzeentch randomness

They could also follow current design from FW and give him primarch abilities.. instead of doing what they do best (fail at rules writing). Demon primarchs ARE stronger than normal primarchs so it makes sense to start with them as a base, and then make him stronger.

Of course, we'll probably get Kairos with a headswap.

I find it funny how Genestealer Cults and Deathwatch had way more excitement than this. The model looks good, but I'm just not interested in chaos so this holds no interest to me. It's an ominous sign for chaos. Sort of like getting the black spot put on you.

Well he looks like Magnus.

The cost of this model will be excruciating, and he'll still be T6.

Damn you Games Workshop. Now you have made we want to start a Thousand Sons army! And I am still out of money from getting Genestealers...

Love this new Warhammer TV style of previewing, good on them for quickly clearing things up.

I love this new sense of humor GW has been showing, and Rob does such a good job of presenting it

You beat me to it Kijamon. I love the new GW approach to PR and...everything really.

Indeed, really liking the way GW is going these days.

I just saw the warhammer TV bit, and started giggling out loud to myself in my office. I may not forgive GW for all their sins, but the self deferential humor they have been using lately is totally working on me!

That better not just be GW playing a cruel joke on us! Top marks to them, though, for handling the leaks in this way, giving us something a little more as well. Interesting that they mention the sprue is Thousand Sons, I wonder if that means the models in the Prospero set aren't going to be generic or whether it's for a seperate 40k Tsons box?

Hahaha, I love it!

They know the leaks aren't going to stop, they can't stem the flow completely, so once they happen they're just jumping in and confirming it.

Of course, the plastic sisters of battle aren't real, you realise...? Just Magnus and the Thousand Sons (although they're only confirming what we knew has been coming for a few months now).

But yes, more of this kind of thing. Anybody maintaining their cynicism at this point is just... I mean, they're beyond help.

I'm pretty sure that's just GW trolling.

The horn boobs would not feature on the kit I would assemble.

It's not some random tzeentch daemon. It's magnus the red, hint, he's supposed to be red. The gold also fits. The model pretty much looks like I would expect magnus to look like, although the pose could be a bit more exciting. I would at least expected some kind of spell effect in the hand he's stretching out for example.

My knowledge of 40k fluff is not what it used to be, but I always though that Magnus the Red was so called because he had a red beard or red hair or something, rather than the colour of his skin...

Absolute crap.

Magnus

No, he's had red skin for a long time now.

Wow. You are so informative and constructive! I feel that your post really has made a meaningful contribution to this thread.

DINLT: Red and brass is Khorne. Red and gold is Magnus' Legion heraldry. He's also a Daemon of Tzeentch, so he can be whatever colour you like really.
He's still a Cyclops. Though not in the traditional sense.

I appreciate the fact that red and gold is the legion colours of the Thousand sons, but in my 30 years of gaming in the Games Workshop universe, there's always been this unwritten rule:

Nurgle = green

Khorne = red and brass/gold

Slaanesh = Pink

Tzeentch = blue

It looks too much like a servant of the war god for my liking...

He's no communist!

Pretty big

I do not see Magnus turning into a Blue man Group just because of the Chaos God that chose him

With the proper pictures I rather like him.

This is amazing. I'm loving this community outreach. Hoping some people will go sleuthing through this video more for clues. Was that Khorne stuff at the top of the recycle bin?

slow clap for GW TV team
