**H.B.M.C.**

Some saw this coming:

What's interesting, to me at least, is that the Lion Helm is still a Mk.VII helmet.

**lord_blackfang**

I'm genuinely surprised he wasn't a primaris yet.

Kinda want to see a primaris Watcher

**nels1031**

I really dig how the lil fella can be built holding either the helm or scabbard.

**robbienw**

He’s nice, looks very close to the original, doesn’t look particularly Primaris. Like Mephiston and the BT characters. Good to see they are heading away from the Mk10 aethsetic with characters at least.

**Agamemnon2**

That's a very nice modernization. I like that they had the sense of restraint to keep the Lion Helm as-is, and almost all the have details carried over in the armor. And he even still has a back banner, which has become a real rarity in the modern marine range, but since Azrael has very rad personal heraldry on his, I'm glad it's been kept.

The one place where the new design looks a bit awkward is the hip armor added over the robe. Well, that and how they've given Azzy a bigger, more awkward looking combi-bolt-rifle. I almost wish they'd deviated from the original and given him some other firearm, perhaps a plasma blaster like the Tartaros terminator sergeants have.

Just to repeat the Valrak rumours from a couple months back:

Dante
Azrael
Farsight
Named Daemon Prince
And the edition is then supposed to wrap up with the return of the Lion. Again, take them for what they are, as I always say, just because I trust the source doesn't mean you have to.

We have 2/4 now.

**JSG**

I like the hood pulled back detail, the robes are sculpted well and the Lions Helm looks way better than the one Lazarus has. All bode very well for a new DA range.

**Galas**

At last. He's wearing the helmet, the best part of the miniature.

He's beautifull.

Must be better for him to wear it now with 8feet body helmet designed for 9feet guy than when he was 7 feet.

**SamusDrake**

LOL, Valrak is over the moon.

**Eldarsif**

Didn't Valrak rumor that there were at least 4 new HQ(for each Omen book)?

Azrael
Dante
Farsight
Named Daemon Prince(which could be the one that has already been revealed)

**The Black Adder**

That's a real nice model. I'm a sucker for a space marine with a back banner.

I know this is a special case for a resculpted special character and likely not the start of any tend but I hope we get more cool back banners and combi weapons for the primaris line.

I may pick one up because although I don't have dark angels I think he'd make a good base for a librarian conversion for my white scars. The watcher would make a good base for a chaos familiar too and who doesn't like familiars?

**princeyg**

Wow, thats....much closer to the original model than I was expecting!

love the fact he can now wear the helmet!

This does mean however that my Belial is gonna look even more of a shortarse runt than he does currently

Great model, 100% will purchase.

**warboss**

It's anice model but relatively unimpressive...basically just a primaris upscale of the classic model. I'm NOT advocating for a ridiculous back flipping off of a rock with his skirt billowing in an imaginary massive gust of wind but I would have preferred a different pose. That first primaris DA captain is IMO a better model for me at least.

**GaroRobe**

The fallen angel helmet on his base…

Dare we hope for an actual fallen kit eventually

**Fayric**

The bottom of the cloak is incredibly boring. Its the kind of sculpting a noob would do with to much green stuff. Same problem as with mephistons gigantic cloak.

**Tannhauser42**

Looking at just how black the "face" of the Watcher is, do you think they used something like Black 3.0 to paint it?

That’d be for Primaris Belial I’d imagine.

Yeah, it is a nice touch.

**BorderCountess**

Finally, an under-stated tactical rock.

**bullyboy**

Interesting that the video specifically mentions Luther, I think it’s only a matter of time before we see him in as a 40k model.

**Geifer**

Looks alright. Nice that they tried to keep a number of details from the old model. The big thing is that he can wear the helmet.

Most importantly the Watcher looks great. Screw the Marine, we all know who the real star is!

Hopefully not just as dressing for a new DA primaris Lt base.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

A decent glow up. However, I’m gonna miss the Galaxy’s only bull pup design Bolter.

As he escaped from his prison, and the Cypher too, it is rather 100% certain that they, and Azrael will play very important role about return of the Lion. And that means plastic mini, maybe even some kind of diorama with the Lion?

**grahamdbailey**

A beautiful update, apart from the face, which is just dull. Has none of the character of the original.
The helmet, however, is gorgeous.

**Albertorius**

Face is not great. Luckily, he has a helmet.

1/4, Vashtorr is not a Daemon Prince.

3/4 I'd wager. Doesn't the machine looking Daemon Prince for the Arks stuff count?

**JWBS**

Looks good, I like everything about it. Also another successful crossing of the Rubicon! Amazing, given the risks. Almost can't believe it.
