Relic of Dorn Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 So there have been 2 duel packs release so fair, Abbadon/Loken, and Erebus/Kor Phaeron. Other than the Primarchs and the legion specific units the only single releases are Khârn and Typhon. Looking at the lists of characters so far that are mentioned and statted in the 3 Horus Heresy books, does anyone else think that it be a good idea to release the characters in the sets, or at least have an option for it? For example, Imperial Fists: Sigismund and Polux Raven Guard: Maun and Nex Iron Warriors: Golg and Vhalen Death Guard: Morturg and Rask Emperor's Children: Eidolon and Tarvitz Just a personall thought, enyone else?

Marshal Rohr Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The FW made up characters won't get releases, IIRC. But I'd put money on a Sigismund Polux 2 pack.

hisdudeness Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 My personal theory is that all the models (Primarch and named) will all fit in a single scene. Much like some of the artwork.

Conn Eremon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The FW made up characters won't get releases, IIRC. But I'd put money on a Sigismund Polux 2 pack.

Balthamal Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sigismund and Polux will be a double up like Erebus and Kor Phaeron, think that's pretty much guaranteed. As for the rest, Sevatar will be a stand alone much like Khârn and Typhon. Can't see either of the Iron Warriors making it and it was confirmed somewhere that FW will only go after characters who've featured in novels so thats the Raven Guard, Iron Hands, Death Guard and World Eaters out of the window. Possibly the Alpha Legion depending on who they include. Rylanor can be converted as it is so probably won't see him along with the Salamander Dreadnought. Tarvitz and Eidolon....not sure. Tarvitz and Lucius would have been more appropriate since they actually faced off like Loken and Abaddon.Maybe Eidolon as a stand alone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288730-character-series-release-thoughts/#findComment-3636105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm a tad disappointed Gabriel Santar didn't get rules tbh (no new stuff for the Previous Legions in book 3) - he was the only notable X Legion character from the BL Heresy series, & seeing as he snuffed it on Isstvan V, he'll never get rules. Plus a duel set with him Julius Kaesoron on V would have been awesome.

Balthamal Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Lucius doesn't have rules though, does he? Not as yet, maybe he'll get them at some point in the future since I can't see FW putting the 12 Legions out to pasture whilst fresh meat is served up for the remaining 6. It's all but a certainty that the Word Bearers will get revisited during the volume that covers Calth so there's hope. It was more a case of pointing out what would fit together since Eidolon and Tarvitz might have hated each other but they didn't lock blades over it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288730-character-series-release-thoughts/#findComment-3636146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Lucian Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 *Shakes fist* Forrix dammit, who needs Grulg when you could have had Forrix :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288730-character-series-release-thoughts/#findComment-3636161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Gulg was technically in the BL books, wasn't he? I was kind of surprised that Forrix wasn't included, seeing as he's First Captain of the IVth Legion. I'm going to assume Emperor's Children will be touched on again sometime soon, they may even do an 'Angel's Exterminatus' side campaign around the time of Calth or whatever. Also, weren't the World Eaters at Calth as well?

Russ Brother 92 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Would be more than a little tosh if they didn't make models for any characters that they've created for the Heresy... Otherwise what's the point of FW (THE primary modelling company) making rules for them - I can understand with certain models like Rylanor or the Sallies Dreadnought as both of these either have models or are such easy conversions they're more a kitbash than a conversion, the Infantry characters however are a different thing... As for Sigismund/Polux I can see Sig by himself tbh. not sure about Polux as I've not read much about him... Could see Sevatar as a loner and perhaps Corswain as a loner for DA...

depthcharge12 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sevatar / Corswain duel box... I'd buy it. So would every other true fan of 30k. It would be so popular that they would make a specialist game out of it.

Plus a duel set with him Julius Kaesoron on V would have been awesome. your primarch snuffed it on isstvan, he got rules :p I wouldn't count anything out completely, the capricious nature of GW as a whole means anything could happen. Ten years ago who'd have thought we'd get 40k sized primarchs. Except for leman russ of course (coz he has one). How long has it taken for them to 40k size imperial knights?

Telhdrat Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'd rather have Polux wiht Golg than Sigismund to be honest, because I think that'd make for another cool duel diorama(and because I'd get both anyway to play games set at Phall). However, I mostly do like the idea of pairing them up. But seriously, when are we going to get a model for Tarvitz? I've been waiting for quite a while now...

Noserenda Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The salamander dreadnought already has a model ;) albeit with a different pilot. There are plans to make Rylanor, though he may be extra bits in the Ec's contemptor. The point of unreleased models is generally to inspire conversions or fit a mechanic in that the writers like but doesent fit a known character. Really excited to see what the Alpha legion guys are, hopefully they fit one of my dozen existing officers! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288730-character-series-release-thoughts/#findComment-3636335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardus Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The salamander dreadnought already has a model albeit with a different pilot. And the small fact of all the none 30k Tyranid bits. Cassian Dracos so needs a model, or at least a conversion kit for the Bray'arth Ashmantle kit.

Tyrannicide Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Sigismund is a given, but Polux? We may have to wait a bit longer to see him. Someone at FW has converted up a stand in. I caught it in the preview video. http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp299/spencertrimm/previewpolux.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288730-character-series-release-thoughts/#findComment-3636803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a duel set with him Julius Kaesoron on V would have been awesome. I still live in hope that in one of the future books, we'll see Iron Father Thematica, Iron Wrought. As he actually survived the dropsite, I think there's reason to give him rules a model. That, and I found him to be a much more interesting character than Santar, who was (imo) mind-numbingly bland. I do agree that a dual set between him and Kaesoron would be brilliant though. There's Sabik Weyland as well. Combined with the Nykona Sharrowkyn of the Raven Guard, I think FW could release a pretty awesome tag-team.

Phoros Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The FW made up characters won't get releases, IIRC. But I'd put money on a Sigismund Polux 2 pack. Not true. I specifically asked on the Forge World Facebook page, and they told me that there were no plans to limit it to just characters that had appeared in books.
