Both Javelins are Sold Out Online, fingers crossed!

Finally! Long over due. He'll be doing a lot of duty as a Raven Guard Prætor

Honestly looking at the little flourishes in his design, he'd actually make a pretty good Praevian - techy-gubbinz on the backpack, that buildout in the centre of the chest could be a Cortex Controller maybe highlighted a bit with a brass-based paintjob. Stick on a bionic-y head and tweak the weapon loadout and you'd have a pretty unique...oh bugger, now I want to do a Raven Guard ZM army with a Praevian leading a unit of Vorax.

Javelin with Lascannon and Javelin with Cyclones are both sold out, in favor of the newer Javelin that has both cyclones and the plastic sponsons

Well, the Prognostigrot is getting whacked with a big spanner later.

Spoiler:

Very cool looking armor that is suitably ornate for his standing. I like it.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I’m also impressed with just how Gun Slinger he looks.

I think it’s the left hand pushing the cloak out the way that does it, and the unfeasibly large leather holsters.

Which reminds me of my constant bafflement you just don’t seem to see Western themed Marine forces, either in canon or fanon. What could be more Magnificent Seven than seven, seven foot tall, power armour clad, near as dammit immortal, might-as-well-be-Demi-gods turbo nutters who’s very basic guns make people explode?

Marines are too 'establishment' for a proper group of desperadoes. They get to be the cavalry that rides in - Ultramarine blue, surely. Also, the hats won't fit under their helmets.

I've seen a lot of Cowboy/Gunslinger Mechanicus Skitarii. Heck, I saw Skitarii cowboy hats on Etsy earlier today.

**Fifty**

I can imagine him being played in a movie by Christopher Walken.

With those robot horses, they make perfect Galaxy Rangers.

No guts, no glory!

It's a fine model, no doubt, but I thought Raven Guard waas all about that stealth and sneakiness? This guy looks as understated and lowkey as a Custodes hiding amongst guardsmen..

is he any worse at it than any other massive superhuman wearing an even more massive suit of superarmor? we're grading on a curve

**BorderCountess**

Do people not remember when the 40k Raven Guard were sneaking Centurions into people's faces?

He's a Moritat. By the time he's deployed (Likely with a bunch of Destroyers), the time for stealth and sneakiness is long since past. It's now salt the earth time

The creators of the epic Wrath and Glory RPG have an exciting announcement – a Horus Heresy RPG is on the way from Cubicle 7. Here’s the pitch – the game opens with the infamous betrayal at Isstvan, after which you’re thrown straight into the maelstrom as Legionary Consuls leading a rag-tag warfleet bent on survival and vengeance.

Your first priority is to escape, harried by traitors bent on your destruction. But what then? How will you survive and regroup? How do you overcome the shock of betrayal and keep your forces supplied? Perhaps most importantly – who can you trust?

Your primary character is one of these Consuls, but you’ll also create a secondary character, such as a Naval commander from your fleet, a Remembrancer assigned to record your achievements, or an Iterator tasked with enlightening newly compliant worlds with the Imperial Truth. You’ll play these characters when their particular skills are required, or if your Consuls need to split up.

The game is expected in Spring 2026, and you’ll be able to pre-order it later this year.

All Eisenstein, all the time?

**Lathe Biosas**

Sounds like these Consuls are in the fast track to Black Shield land.

Eh. Not excited for the ToW relaunch. The original Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was so perfect for the setting.

Nothing like starting out as a Rat Catcher with your small barking dog, baskets, dead rats, and a stick, while your buddy rolls up a squire and has everything you could possibly want to go into battle with.

But at least you know the truth that there are bears in the sewers. Giant talking rats? Preposterous!

My first character was a ratcatcher and she's still my favorite character

ToW RPG doesn't grab me at all.

Funnily enough, if he does join a unit, he can only join Seekers and Mor Deythan.

**lord_blackfang**

He straight up cannot join units.

Huh, I must've been looking at the pre-Martial Civil War stat block, then.

**Midnightdeathblade**

Doesn't really look like a murderer to me. It's a great looking model for sure. But I don't really see Nex based on the existing art and description of him. He should be grungy, totally utilitarian. Nex is an outcast in his legion, only Corax showed some favor to him. His hair looks tidy and his facial features look regal, he should be disheveled, uninterested in maintaining his appearance. This model has extremely ornamented armor, should have been a praetor. Cool RG get something though.

The hallmark of a great murderer!

Haha this is true. I don't think he'd be trying to hide it though!

QFT and for the LOL!

Love it personally, and will definitely be picking it up!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

He’s a hefty lad

**Lathe Biosas**

He' very baroque. Who's the hand flamer going to impress?

**MarkNorfolk**

All these resin characters characters are well and good, but I’d like something a bit more plasticity with a bit more general purposefulness, in either big or little Horus Heresy.
