<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Magnus The Red"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Magnus The Red 40k I have never painted or used Chaos. That is about to change as I have fancied doing a Thousand Sons force for a while.

I bought a couple of boxes of TS today and during the week I got a Magnus The Red model from Ronin.

The mini is fairly big which brings me to the point of this thread, how big was Magnus meant to be? I seem to recall him described as a "giant".

I suppose the good thing about such a large mini is that he will fit the Daemon Prince rules nicely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267459/1144759.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267459/1144759.page GMT Magnus The Red - copied from the Lexicanum...ya so I would think he'd be a big boy]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267459/1144762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267459/1144762.page GMT Magnus The Red

No they didn't...who told you that? Ronin made these sculpts, not GW. That's why they're not in production anymore, because GW slapped them on the wrist.

Anyways, it makes sense that Magnus is so big. He was quoted as being huge (a giant) even by primarch standards.

By the way...message me and I 'might' know of someone who frequently sells the Ronin miniatures on eBay .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267459/1144864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267459/1144864.page GMT Re:Magnus The Red http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr157/ZahrDalsk/PrimarchsPartian.jpg

There was a site up till about a year ago but its no longer active, I guess GW lawyers got involved. Now its seems its just ebay or trading sites. The Fulgrim one is currently on ebay.

I was told they bought the sculpts under a "Limited Production" agreement. Ah well. I'd still do for one of them the same thing I did for a Klondike Bar...
