Since they do CAD now, it's possible they printed the first one as a "test" and decided to scale it up afterwards.

According to battlebunnies mini magnus is just for colour testing. By the way, is it just me or is magnus pretty huge? Here is Ahriman for scale.

Makes sense for Magnus to be that big tbh. He is basically an Exalted Daemon Prince after all. Not exactly a pushover. I like how they've put all the ports for his power armour on there, as a reminder of what he was before he ascended.

I prefer the bigger size with lots of detail and I do not want to be disrespectful but it has been a long way from this miniature to the Magnus model

The painter said it is. He spent 300 hours on it. The smaller one is a test model (see Battlebunnies blog)

All the pics posted here so far are from their blog and they have asked

It definitely is. You could see in the warhammer tv video they put up that it was a big model, the little one isn't that much bigger than Ahriman.

Is it just me, or does this look like an updated Imperator Titan? I don't think we've had any official artwork for them since the 90's.

No comments on the Grav Tanks yet? I'm glad that one is marked "Experimental" because 195 points for an AV 13, fast skimmer with flare shields and an Instant Death S7 AP4 Autocannon is borken as ! Oh, and -2 to hit in melee? And it has Machine Spirit? Bleh!

The Grav Rhino looks pretty interesting. not sure about the underslung guns though.

Other pictures are showing Terminator Custodians, and it looks like the Stormsurge is getting a new shoulder mounted gun.

Gotta love Forge World Open Day (Not 40K open day)!

I think the grav tank without a turret is the Custodes grav rhino

edit: nope, that's the "Pallas Gravitas", a one man attack speeder.

I really hate how GW has no idea of what wolves actually look like, their heads and mouths are always extended in ways that would dislocate the jaw of the wolf. Wolves don't swallow their prey by dislocating their jaws like constrictor snakes do!

I think some are mistaking the Custodes Contemptor and the attack speeder for a Terminator and a transport skimmer.

What is a 3-up? I don't have a clue. Yes I know as always.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?
