Slips Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/FORGE_WORLD_BULLETIN_45.html Feast your eyes brothers and sisters and look on in envy at those who will have the opportunity to purchase these AMAZING looking minis - especially the Alpha Legion painted one. Le sigh. We also get a more difinitve look at Forgeworlds paint scheme for their Ultramarines.

BFeeder Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Awesome. They look like they've been inspired by Steve Whitehead's concept sketches from the Isstvan Campaign art book.

Fire Golem Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I dont get the AL one at all. He looks quite chubby, and what's he pointing at us? What actually are they, past being AL and IW? Also I think that's just someone from the studios UM, as opposed to THE studio UM.

Allart01 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That Iron Warrior is beutiful! If I'll manage to get him (and I still don't know how) he'll become a World Eaters centurion.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Holy crap I really like them minis! Now all I need is someone who is going to the event who wouldn't mind picking one up for me... Same here. But there are other events as well in the future where these should be on sale though out this year like Salute, Warhammer Fest, Forge World open day, etc...

Emperor's Furor Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I love dem Ultramarines, I was going to do Ultramarines cause I find blue easy but I keep checking myself because they are Ultramarines and their fluff has never really got me going, even the 30k stuff.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Pick a different Legion you do like and paint them blue. Easier to make up a reason for a different paint job than to try talking yourself into a Legion you don't like. (Welcome to the XIII Hater Club. We have cake.)

Noctus Cornix Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The one painted up to be an Alpha Legionnaire is infact based off one of the Sons of Horus art pieces in one of the Horus Heresy art books (can't remember exactly which one.) I absolutely need to get my hands on one... Please merciful Warmaster I must have one for my Sons of Horus. Here's a side by side of the model and the art that inspired it. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/SoH1_zpsd9c994fd.png http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/Blogs/FER6GD32_124YTR045A2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/#findComment-3931872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think it would suit SoH better than AL. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/#findComment-3931875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think it would suit SoH better than AL. As he was meant to be. I don't know why the heck they painted him to be one. Maybe the painter just saw the snakes and thought it must obviously be the Hyrda. Derp.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It's Alpharius disguised as a XVI Legionnaire disguised as a XX Legionnaire.

Balthamal Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'd have said that he was defo belonging to the SoH (not that they need anymore stuff) but the hydra heads covering the breastplate obviously mark him as XX Legion.

GhostMalone Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I will be on ebay the day they're available, I think the SoH could be a lodge master :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/#findComment-3931891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - Abaddon has a snake wrapped around his Sons of Horus icon on his shoulder.

The whole eye of Horus is the serpent eye or something isn't it? Or the symbol of the Serpent Lodge on Davin or something. However that model also has a XX on the leg armour so they clearly sculpted it as AL. Edit: oops, that's painted on.

m_r_parker Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 More stuff for me to buy in a couuple of weeks then - it's good to see useful HH minatures than the previous couple of years (Davinite Priest and a Naviagtor - most people aren't going to be cracking those out for most games), but as already mentioned in this thread there's going to be a massive amount of resale on these on the early doors. I hope FW bring enough, as last year they ran out of the Navigators on the Saturday and had to bring more across on the Sunday. I think I prefer the Alpha Legion one (he's painted as AL so I will refer to him as AL) over the other, although I reserve final judgement until I see the model in the flesh. Nice to see the move onwards from the standard marks of armous through something more akin to the 40k CSM armour.

Balthamal Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In fairness to FW when I bought the minotaur event exclusive at the FW open day last year they were sold out when I got to the front of the queue and were kind enough to ship it to me so I don't think that will be too much of a problem. Having seen the Saturday rush though...good luck with that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/#findComment-3931919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 If you look closely at the art, there are two wolf heads with snakes coiled around them, with a skull in the centre. It could quite possibly be Sons of Horus based after all (I own the art book, it's Illuminations from the Isstvan Collection). I'd be surprised if Forge World had mistakenly painted it up as an Alpha Legionnaire though, more likely they just changed some of the symbols slightly (we can't see the shoulder after all) or decided it was a generic Legion model.

Atia Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The "Iron Warrior" is also based on the Death Guard art http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/20150126123424dwuvznmkhp.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302598-forgeworld-bulletin-45-event-exclusive-miniatures/#findComment-3931949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
