I thought it was lacking Dark Eldar. I also didn't see any Squats.

Votann and Necrons make sense that they are missing. Necrons because they phase out (though the indomitus captain does have a destroyed necron on his base) and Votann because of their size and the fact they don't realy have helmets, they just have a dome on top of their armour.

He’s here

I like the HH version way better but that was expected but even without that version I'm not really impressed. The wings feel too small the hair doesn't really fit my image of Fulgrim (Even after being in the warp for so long) and the snake part looks more like a costume pulled over his body than an actual snake body. Overall he is still fine but not in the same ballpark as the other primarchs have been for me. Of course all of this is subjective and other people will love him but at least for me its a bit disappointing

The head and wings I feel were better on the Transfigured version. The arms and lower body look better on this version.

Overall, I'd still give it to the Horus Heresy version, but it was a really high bar to clear, and it this one missed it in overall execution, it was by a sliver.

I also finally have the perfect head for my Azazel project.

I really like it, but I do agree that the FW one is better. I think I'd be blown away by this if the FW didn't exist though. And he will be a lot less fragile to actually play with...

He’s fab!

Very pleased with this figure. Not a huge fan of the unmasked faces - Fulgrim is supposed to be Vitruvian Man - beautiful even in his Daemonic Incarnation, but thankfully the mask option is really fantastic.

Urgh I'm going to have to spend a load on Emperor's Children, aren't I???

Love it! I cannot wait to see the kits for the noise marines and the rest.

I think it's a great model. I like what they did with the face versus the FW version. Gives him an image of an aging Hollywood starlet filled with botox to desperately cover up all the drug abuse. The warp takes its toll..

I mean, you could, but it's probably not the best primer? Maybe just use paint instead?

Although it is in the Slaaneshi spirit, I suppose....:-)

As wonderful as the Keeper of Secrets, with the helmet option being the icing on the cake.

I would go in for Emperor's Children but only for Legions Imperialis, if that had a model for Fulgrim Transfigured.

Heads and wings are a let down of tremendous proportion on this figure. FW version's face is in another league.

It is impossible not to compare the model to the HH one and being in resin the HH one sets an impossible to beat aesthetically but is impossible to transport and a bugger to play with.

This will be transportable, magnetisable, playable.

I think this is about as close to perfection that GW has achieved with plastic.

Everyone will have a couple of small gripes, such as the faces (a beautiful, natural one would have been better than the chubby one) the wings being about 5-10% too small and maybe the hair.

This will set a very high bar to beat for model of the year for 2025….

Whether I agree that the FW sculpt is better or not, (it is), this is the better model, by virtue of being half price and plastic.

The FW version is $345 CAD, which makes the product garbage, no matter how good it looks.

Lets see if this is really half that

I mean, this is the centerpiece of your army, you'll only get one... So might as well take the good looking one instead of the half-priced Version that looks bad. Or, if we're at it, if you're looking to go cheap on your centerpiece, might as well look outside of the GW bubble.

I dunno, I think both look ace. Even if the plastic face options aren't anything special, theres the option for a helmet.

Plus, we all know Fulgrim is bound to be bundled into a christmas boxset next year, so he'll *technically* be even more affordable

We need a hood shot of the Gw and FW versions next to one another. I feel the GW model has a lot of potential, really don’t like the head though.

Don't play Chaos, but this is definitely a good sign for all the Emperor’s Children fans that GW is putting in some hard work on their line.

Saying that the FW sculpt looks better is NOT saying the GW sculpt is bad.

Honestly?

If someone bought the resin Fulgrim for me, I'd probably smash it into a thousand pieces in rage after my 27th hour of trying to hold the wings in position long enough for the glue to set.

With plastic, those wings will weld into place 5 seconds after surfaces touch.

Nice birthing hips on that one mmm

Exelent model. Delivers what was expected and dont mess anything up in my opinion. That hideous helmet look silly for a daemon primarch, but apparently some people already prefer it, so its all good.
Wings have a cool structure to them.

joining the chorus to say, fantastic model. doesn't feel too distinct from the FW one (wings being less wide is appreciated as someone who has to care about storage...), so it really just feels like another fantastic take on the same idea

the masked face in particular is great. definitely the one i'll be using

Fantastic looking model and yes I also appreciate the wings being more practical for gaming - the FW version looks stunning but its well into the "handle with super careful gloves" cause of those awesome wings


Very hyped for Slaanesh in 2025

Eh. Was hoping for something a bit more serene looking. That gave off an arrogant air of being best on the field and he knows it. "Come at me bro" pose is dull.

The HH one was a masterpiece so it was always going to be tough to beat it. I think this model comes very close and is well designed, and will be an excellent centerpiece.
No faults from me with the design.

Whilst I fully expected Emperor's Children, I don't think I expected them to go straight into Fulgrim. Color me pleasantly surprised. Already considering grabbing him for painting purposes.

So, the sword mentioned in the article. Anyone know the significance of it?

Not a fan of Fulgrim (the character). The model is fine, I guess. But I'd have preferred to see the actual Marine kits instead.
