Cheex Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's "ok" to me. It's just yet another Marine, running forward and screaming, but I don't see much that strikes me as "amazing". I know, I know: it's Angron, what else is he supposed to do? But I think it could be better. That said, I also think the camera angle could very well change my opinion, and I think he could do without all the Loyalist extras dying around him. What I'm more interested in is the rumoured possibility that some the Traitor Primarchs might be getting a late- or post-Heresy mini as well, later on down the track. The thought of a Daemon Primarch model being available really has me excited B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferox Heartcleaver Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 He will be in my next Forgeworld order, period. He won't be painted for some time, as I'd like to do him justice, of course. Of course, if we get a Daemon Angron, I'll probably have a joy-induced heart attack before I can even open up a FW tab to place the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is a scenic base I've seen it unpainted The book is centered around Isstvan III, where the loyalist elements of the traitor legions were being culled. So yes, they are loyalists, even though they are from his own Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not just running forward and screaming, he's piling through marines like sheafs of wheat. In terms of an angron model I can't think of what more you'd want out of it?

What part of it is just ok :( As a single miniature diorama, sure, but in a game I tend to feel that the cinematic feel is ruined if you don't happen to be facing an opponent who matches the casualties on the base. Not to mention while you are still marching across the battlefield, long before you even reach the enemy. If I ever get this mini - and I might - I feel that I'd probably magnetise those casualties so that I can use them for shelf display, or remove them for games.

Cheex Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/Angron-wep.html So, with some better pics he does look a lot better, and I'm glad that the scenic base is separate to his normal 40mm base. That should make it much easier. The details on this guy look amazing. One particular part I like is that the Marine's chest plate on the base actually looks like it's giving way under Angron's weight, a detail that's often missing in scenic bases. His tiny-looking legs are bugging me, though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FashaTheDog Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, Forgeworld has already sold me all the Primarch models as they're like Pokemon - gotta catch 'em all. Besides, they are generally really good with their sculpts and I doubt they will drop the ball with the others. I already have the official 40K Leman Russ and now I as soon as I get Angron this means I will get to run a huge game where two Primarchs face off. Truth be told, I want Perturabo, Night Haunter, and Dorn the most. In fact I will probably get two Dorns; one to leave untouched and loyal, the other the convert into Dorn the Arch-Betrayer for my Imperial Fists army!

Coot83 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I agree this model is just awesome. The base alone is almost worth it along besides having Angron himself. Does anyone know when they will have preorders for this? Coot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD and Khorne likes the Black Templars, they killed their sorcerers to. Don't be shy to add some red onto that black cross.

It actually comes out of its larger base on a 40 mm base which I assume is for playing. Still one casualty though, but considering its the one already flat on the ground you can pretty much write him off as battlefield debris from an earlier engagement.

You do know that it was complete chaos on Istvaan III? Having a few of one legion amongst another legion is fluffy... ...besides, if you paint them up as WE, it will always be either his enemies or his own guys...there will always be WE to slaughter when Angron is involved... :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 You do know that it was complete chaos on Istvaan III? Having a few of one legion amongst another legion is fluffy... I seem to be getting a lot of angst about not liking scenic bases that include enemies that you won't necessarily be facing every game. I know it was chaos on Isstvan III, and it's true that Betrayal will focus on that conflict, but what about other conflicts, ones that will be portrayed by later FW Heresy books? I don't mind the dead guy under his feet (that could have been there from a prior battle), but the other World Eaters flying off to the sides just pushes the boundaries of cinema to me, in the context of an actual game. As a one-off display piece it looks great, but for a gaming piece it often takes away from my immersion in the game. But that point about them actually being friendlies was raised on another forum, and a closer look at them shows that they could very easily be friendlies. They might have been killed by Angron in his frenzy to reach the enemy, or they could have been killed by enemy fire and are being barged out of the way by their Primarch. Looking at them in that context makes a bit more sense, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will need to wait until someone looks at the mini in person to tell. So anytime now as a bunch of guys should be at games day buying him right now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
