The video is more HD style now and if you pause at the poster it's clearly Thousand Sons. The guy deliberately takes him time and covers up what I am going to guess is a Lord of Change (why cover up Magnus art?)

The sprues are too unclear to see but it could be Prospero box. The bin has just chaos vehicle sprues in it by the look of it.

That Warhammer TV was absolutely fantastic xD What's that? Rumours? Let's just fully show the Primarch in all it's painted glory.

This new GW is amazing and I hope it wasn't just trolling us with that "Plastic Sisters"!

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?

It looked to me like the old Chaos upgrade sprue on top. The chains, spikes, I think its the old one.

By that logic, why cover up a Lord of Change's art?

Truthfully, it looked like it was the cover to codex. Most definitely the part being covered up was Magnus though.

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...

It's a red that is quite close to the blue spectrum (looping around).

It's Screamer Pink, as far as I can tell, for Magnus' flesh.

He's got a whole eye in his hand. He's got a whole wide eye, in his hand. He's got a whole eye in his hand. He's got a whole eye in his hand.

My eagle eyed friend just spotted what Magnus is standing on.

Space Wolf contemptor/dreadnought arm! Damn you Magnus!!!!

I vote on Magnus also. The other guy in the artwork appears to be the Gaunt Summoner.

Meh.. Higher quality picture makes me not want to buy the model. Yet again they go completely overboard with symbols, IE EAGLE BEAKS. Why does he need so many of them? Its like Khorne models overdoing the skulls.

Subtle is better..

I'm not sure subtle is better necessarily applies to the daemon Primarchs.

Yeah that's how you respond to a leaked chappy picture, love the direction GW are going now.

Will have a added bonus of making steam come out the ears of the anti GW majority on here.

Will be buying this for definite

A red that's close to the blue spectrum?

It's miles away from being blue.

Yeah, Primarchs don't really do subtle.

And Daemon Primarchs definitely don't!

I cannot imagine the ridiculous rules he'll have - I mean, he'll be near impossible to stop, won't he?

Unless there are some Sisters of Silence or maybe Custodes around?

Or, well, of course, a couple of Space Wolves...

Warhammer TV is my favourite thing ever.

Clearly 40k. The silhouette of that Sorceror looks like Ahriman to me.

Nah, it`s Ahriman (you judge by the staff and the helmet + you can see a backpack behind him

I`m more excited about GW`s responce and "hint" on sisters of battle, rather Magnus` model!

Don`t really like the miniature, but I`m happy about the fact, that they`re releasing a DP primarch. That`s on one hand.. On the other, I kinda miss the mysterious feeling warhammer 40K gave me back in the day, when I joined. Now everything seems to be about to get exposed! But that`s IMHO

Still, that cheeky video made me very happy

Well he is Magnus the "RED"

i think he looks fine so far.

more angles would be better but i dont get the complaints about him being to bland

I think the model shows restraint on the part of the sculptor. Sure there's a lot of armor detail, but I expected him to be standing on one foot in a crane position with swirly stuff moving around him and pink horrors being ejected from his hands. I'm exaggerating here, but you know what you I mean. I'm not really even opposed to OTT sculpts, in the right application. But to me Magnus is less OTT than he could have been (in a good way), and should look good on crazier-looking 40K or more subdued 30K tables.

So what about daemon prince Angron?

War of Sigmar has a larger pic of Magnus posted:

It looks like Magnus is standing on a contemptor dreadnought arm. Was he a daemon primarch during the time of the Heresy or is GW just enjoying their contemptors over the previous washing machine dreadnought?

I love that he is red, and glad they kept him as red. They did him right.

Nice, kind of gives me zero incentive to finish my own Lord of Change.



I REALLY HOPE THIS MEANS PLASTIC THOUSAND SONS

Isn't he a Daemon when Prospero is destroyed?

Russ blinds him before they go to the planet of sorcerers.

With all the gold & blue on him, there isn't a question that he is Tzeencth. I am dying to know if this kit is a dual kit that makes a LoC. It would be a wasted opportunity for GW not to do this.

LMFAO. Well done GW. Well done.

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...

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

He's no communist!

It's unwritten because it's a fallacy in fairness.

Didn't they show the Thousand Son army sprue in the video? So yes, I say they did.

The video won't work for me for some reason.

Kind of hoping they upload it to their youtube channel

I wouldnt be surprised if magnus was kinda stand alone, maybe sharing a sprue with a lord of change kit at most, and they release another 3 variants of LOC kit with fateweaver sharing a sprue between them somewhat mirroring the bloodthirster + skarbrand release.

His entire body is too muscular and humanoid to be included in a LOC kit, at least IMO.
