Magnets. Best method with gw models of late

He's still printed in the current Chaos Daemon's 'dex, so we're afraid that the adoption paperwork got rejected.
As it is, the suggestion of just having that base detail be swapped out for something - possibly a Primaris Lieutenant - is a pretty good one.
Nah. The adoption went through, it's just that 40K has visitation rights one weekend a month...

I’ve entirely missed that tidbit. Can anyone point me to the source?*

It’s something about him possessing the guy who sire’d him.
Ah. That's more akin to pushing a bull into the same pen as a cow than actually being the father.
Still creepy in a Wonder Woman 1984 sort of way, but not a D&D 'badtouched' half-breed sort of way.
Magnets to what, baking tray and just carry him into the shop like your fanciest entree at the king's feast?
Magnets so you can separate the model into smaller portions and transport the individual parts rather than the full wingspan. I have seen people doing similar things with knights and other larger models to avoid breaking stuff.

I have varioust plastic containers(depending on size of model). Metal sheet to bottom. Done.
Model carried around without touching others. Essentially in same way they lie on table. No scratching, no bumping to other models. Sufficient strong magnet and even heavy metal model(think warjack from warmachine) will lie upside down happily without budge. Plastic is obviously easier

This is something we've known about since the last preview.
Yep. Two weeks ago...

I agree.
It’s only the last few days on here I keep seeing people say that was his father.
His dad was a follower of chaos who took a woman of the empire to bed against her will basically.
More importantly the Be’lakor-Archaon relationship is he’s the one who was there when he ascended to Everchosen and all of that side of things.

This. Be'lakor wasn't crowning the candidates out of pride - it was a punishment. It was to shame him. He failed, they will succeed. Hard to read that as a father-son relationship or imagine he's remotely proud of it. If anything, iirc in the Storm of Chaos fluff onward Be'lakor LOATHED having to do this. He wanted power himself, not to be bestowing it to others.
Gotta say, not super enthused about what ever it is coming off his sword. If it's fire, then it's the worst attempt at flames ever. If the blade is in a state of chaotic flux, then that's also not super great either, as I don't feel that it matches Be'lakors general aesthetic.
And from that video preview they showed, it doesn't even look like he's taking on aspects of all 4 chaos gods. So if they have some Tzeentch warpery on the sword, that's going to look pretty off.
It's not fire. Look at the posted trailer a few posts up. It's like dark energy coming off of it.
EDIT:Does Be'lakor take on aspects for all 4 Chaos Gods? I can't say that ever came across in his original miniature, or any of the artwork. He's mostly all dark and shadowy, a true unaligned Daemon.

Does unaligned even exist in any fashion in any GW product anymore? I used to play that in 40k but it went the way of the dodo unfortunately there. I wouldn't be surprised if he had design aspects of all four modelled onto him (hopefully not divided up into silly quadrants/limbs one for each).
Unaligned, yes. "Chaos Undivided", that's a different story.
Had it drilled into me during my Black Crusade days that we weren't allowed to capitalise the 'U' in 'unaligned' as GW were de-emphasising the power of "Chaos Undivided".

I should have been more clear with my original comment, but it was 100% a joke and I was in no way serious about Be'lakor being anyway happy about having to crown Archaon (or any other person, for that matter).
