What primarchs do people think will be in the next FW HH book?

My guess is it will focus on the dropsite massacre and therefore can potentially include Corax, Vulkan, Ferrus Manus, Lorgar or Curze. There could also be a 2nd profile for Fulgrim as he gives in to daemonic possession but I see that as less likely than the others.

Looking forward to a Vulkan model. It will most likely be my first FW purchase

Other than some of the books. Which coincidentally I got from my FLGS

I believe that Mortarion is to be released next, actually.

I'm hoping for Corax in the not too distant future, but I'm expecting Mortarion to be the next Primarch.

Why would Mortrarian be next? He's already in the Horus Heresy Book One.

I think they said the next one is going to be Night Lords, Iron hands, and two others.

Considering the book is already titled Massacre, I'd say its a pretty easy call who will be involved next.

Figures. The black guys get killed first. Poor salamanders :(


I kid, I kid....

Seriously though, poor Salamanders.

Vulkan will be my first order from FW.

I hope they do Roboute Gulliman last, though, as he was the last to enter the scene. Not Ultrasmurf hate, canonicity.

As a super smurf fanboy, I agree. They should come out in chronological order of their knowing involvement/opposition to the Heresy. That would put the Ultras way at the end. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'd be last.

If we're going to keep canon, the Ferrus Manus mini has to have removable head.

So......Professor X? Now I'm imagining Patrick Stewart as Magnus the Red.

With a patchwork quilt covering his legs. Absolutely!

I feel like we need to cast the remaining major Heresy primarchs as well. Everytime I think of Horus, I think of Jeff Bridges at Warmonger in Ironman.

I never would have thought of that, but now that you say it... It really dies work/fit well

If they were going to do it truly chronologically then the first book would have been the battle of Prospero, as that happened before Isstvan did. In any case, I'm really looking forward to that book, can't wait to see the Thousand Sons rules.

As to the OP question, it will most likely be Kurze, Ferrus Manus, Vulkan, and Corax. I think they'll save the Word Bearers to do with the Ultramarines in a Calth book.

Omg LOL & ROFL guys....I can already see Patrick Stewart (painted in red & with one eye) pushed by sekhmet on a disability ramp + cursing Russ:-)

I'm thinking Rory McCann as Leman Russ. Not just for his role in Game of Thrones, but also for his ability to be firm yet still soft spoken.


Also, am I the only one that hopes the model for Kurze is just Bruce Wayne in a tuxedo?

Vulkan - Will Smith.

Wait! THE ROCK.

He'd still have to be painted straight black, though. Literally just straight black. And red eyes.

Dwayne Johnson looks too...clean? Remember, Vulkan was a forgemaster. He probably wasn't cut as much as he was just straight up bulky. (Think Andre the Giant)

However, there's an unfortunately lack of actors that fit that description. I honestly think Vin Diesel would be a slightly better choice. Vin Diesel has a more brooding demeanor, whereas the Rock is a lot more, shining?

I guess that means Corax/Ferrus/Vulkan

Samuel L Jackson as Vulkan...or waaaaaait - I've seen Kevin Durant "plays" in some movie....

Off topic- Robert Pattinson as Sanguinius....LOL

Back on question, there is no guessing. Word Bearers, Night Lords, Iron Hand, and Salamanders are in the next book.

Additionally, Abaddon and Loken will be the next character set to come out. The campagin book will focus on the first half of the Istvaan V Massacre.

^ this is correct. The writers said so at Gamesday. I watched the video a month or 2 ago. Which is unfortunate, because I really wanted the Raven Guard to get some love. Sigh... I guess I'll have to wait till book 3.
