Oh wow, Epic would be immense. Ever since they released Titanicus and AI; I've always suspected that Epic would eventually be on the cards, but I'd sort of given it up for lost. I'd love to see Epic again.

On the other hand, The Old World is due at some point too - this is a lot of things for them to juggle.

On the one hand that's true, but on the other there's also to consider that they need a constant churn to keep the numbers up, and they can only do so many 'Primaris'-ifications of existing ranges before that too runs stale and they need to introduce either new games or new factions. And who knows what they're planning with the boxed-game slots that had been occupied by e.g. BSF or Cursed City. It's all pretty opaque right now, we just don't know.

There's an alleged leaked picture of Dante's new model. Looks very cool.

Shame it's not a Dreadnought.

The back story the leaker told is that a random person got sent a Dante instead of their actual order...

I guess we get another emergency GW reveal tomorrow lol...

Oh that looks like a cool ass model - I really like that update. It keeps the style of the original and for once I can't complain about the Tactical Rock

Not a single Mk X armor piece in sight. Delicious.

Now give us proper scaled Astorath.

Yeah the more I look at it the more I like it. Dante and Azrael both great updates.

The dude who got it also made pictures of the back, his jumppack is clearly the same one we saw in the Space Marine 2 trailer.

He posted a video of it in a Blood Angels Facebook group as well.

You should probably save that if you can, apparently Reddit is already exterminating the pictures. In other news, at least one other person claims to also have received a Dante instead of a Cpt. Messinus they ordered, and a third one now claims to have obtained the Lion in the same way

Yeah, with Jet pack type models, the practicality of a tactical rock over a flight stand wins out. I've converted a primaris scale death company chaplain using the reiver Lt to get a similar pose as Dante's

Captain Mess, I assume.

Nice pose, and the armour is great in that it looks nothing like primaris armour. But current model trends are still there.

has a tactical rock.

has a terrible looking face (even though he's wearing a helmet!)

People getting the wrong products must be down to the new automated warehouse, which by all accounts is worse than using grots. They should get the mail order trolls back.

They couldn't do that, since Primaris Dreadnoughts burn out the pilots pretty quickly and I doubt they'd put him in an older chasis. Not sure Dante has that much fight left in him

Okay, now a second user who has gotten the new Dante by accident sent in proof pictures. Hilarious

Never said anything about a Redemptor. Just that he could have been a Dreadnought.

Deleted the second I went back to grab the link, lol....

The Valrak stream has the pics of the model painted up, and from multiple angles

Or just a cover for leakers with access to the model.

Until they post pictures of the sprues, I’m calling fake.

Looks less good from the back but that's not the end of the world.

Do you think they faked a box as well? With a painted miniature on it that was clearly different from the one they were painting, e.g. the one on the box hat a drilled-out gun barrel, the one they were painting had not? And sent another of these fakes to a third party to fake some corroborating evidence?

Is it just me, or is he wearing a Guilliman face mask and not Sanginius'?

Maybe Guilly gave him a face mold of himself to wear when he appointed him Regent of Imperium Nihilus?

It is the 41st millenium - over the ages, mankind has spread out to the stars and conquered untold worlds, bringing with them all sorts of domestic animals and plants. Sadly, the prune is not among them.

Definitely possible. For starters since when did GW start drilling gun barrels on the box art?

The rear shots look properly suspect. There’s barely any definition to the detail on the jump pack. Idk something about this smells off to me. I guess we’ll soon find out though. GW usually respond within a day to this kind of leak if it’s indeed real.

Azrael has his barrel drilled, too.



Gravis Captain is drilled.
