Pretty cool model. I suppose they will put him in a box with the really old chaos bikers.

If memory serves? Valrak’s rumour provider mentioned Huron and new Chaos Bikers?

I may be misremembering though, so please pinch of salt with this.

Doesn't really do anything for me, bit of an odd choice for the big Christmas reveal. Interested to see his rumoured retinue unit in the new year though as that sounds like a potential source of interesting bits

Not meant to be bikes with this (though they often get mentioned as coming eventually), Command Squad and a "Hunter" squad with Huron, I believe

That's a proper Huron model, whether you like the head or not (easy switch). The metal one was, frankly, terrible and too small.

There might be two or three alternative heads anyway.

Probably unlikely, but if they are putting a renegade chapter front and centre I wonder if they might deal with the whole "the first action a chapter performs upon falling to Chaos is to trade in all their assault cannons for reaper autocannons" (and so on) issue.

Part of me wonders if he might get a detachment to allow some loyalist stuff.

It's an alright model, but not much more than that. Not really exciting to be honest

Alright if nobody else will say it I will

He has a nozzle guard in place of his wrist. Where the nozzle isn't.

I spotted that, thought it was kinda funny and just shrugged it off as "GW stuff".

Isn't his hand built around a flamer?

Yes, but the heat shield is usually over the nozzle to protect the nozzle and dissipate heat as I understand it. Hurons at the base of the wrist is doing literally nothing.

Not a fan of the head, but otherwise Iove the mini.

I appreciate that it was marketing talk, but does a single special character resculpt really qualify as an "extra special" reveal these days?

If you wanted to make it "extra special", preview the additional elements you talk about showing up later.

Grotmas was definitely a letdown this year.

Sometimes they give us Primarch. This year we get mid Huron. Tragic (Sign of the times I suppose).

When shot in the face by a melta you are, look as good you will not!

Huron is a great character for chaos to get I think. Everything being Primarchs all the time is kind of dull. Huron is the most powerful chaos warlord after Abbaddon, and Abbaddon’s influence rivals Primarchs. Huron is a pretty big deal.

Not bad - and I’m usually fairly indifferent to WH40k Chaos models. There are some nice angles in the pose and I quite like the head.
