Slips Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I thought Bjorn only gets the Claw after he loses his arm (or am I thinking of someone else?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Dual claws could be Bjorn! That would make me weep school girl tears   Matches up with a picture of Bjorn at Prospero (according to Lexi) anyway:  http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/3/3a/Bjornbefore.JPG  (Except the hair of course. Bjorn's hair color is constantly in flux, tho. Kaspar Hawser says it's black, the art is brown, and this mini is a blond. :shrug:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Much like Ragnar Blackmane, Bjorn has the ability to change hair color. Â It helps psych out the enemy...and he's worth it. I thought Bjorn only gets the Claw after he loses his arm (or am I thinking of someone else?) Â He lost an arm battling the Horus-Daemon on Prospero, picks up (actually takes without asking) the claw prior to the Alpha Legion fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor of Calth Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Based off that Collected Visions picture. I'd say it's a Bjorn model. But that wouldn't make any sense story wise, or fluff wise considering Bjorn was little more than average Joe No73 at that point. Â It's worthy of note that the unhelmeted Custode bears similarities to Valdor's appearance, but I doubt that's him either. Â So I'm instead I'm going to throw a curveball, as per usual, on it being Buleyve of the 13th company. Â There was supposed to a audio drama being released this year titled "13th Wolf", by Gav Thorpe, Which followed the dissappearence of the 13th after Prospero. Â Past release history shows that Black Library always like to do a to do tie in releases to box games. So, for me, it would make more sense to use the 13th Wolf story to tie into this game rather than commissioning yet another story, but that's just me.

betrayer41 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 So typically with a leak like this how far away do they release what's on the cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrypantz Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I would say it's 13th Company. The teeny tiny symbol on the wolf lords shoulder pad is reminiscent of the old 13th Company from the Eye of Terror campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 So typically with a leak like this how far away do they release what's on the cover? Well it's the cover of the November issue, so I'd probably have to say first couple of weeks of November maybe? At any rate it's coming soon.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hmm. I really want to see the Custodes models- hopefully they won't be too hard to convert to something similar to Artificer-armored SM, since I don't really need/want Custodes on their own merits. Happy about the Tartarus termies and the MKIII armor overall, but I would like pics of the Characters/Custodes/Sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he wasn't... Prospero was literally his rise to fame.   Well yes and no, as I understand it. Before Prospero, he was part of Leman Russ' honor guard at Nikaea, so he wasn't a nobody exactly, and significantly more important than an average Tactical/Grey Hunter/equivalent. To my knowledge tho, he wasn't ever a Legion Officer and consequently it doesn't feel appropriate that he would be an HQ character. Just my 2 pence.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Prospero was Bjorn's biggest moment, but he was more than just a standard Marine. His wyrd was potent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I was one of the people who was firmly in the the Bjorn won't be involved or get a model camp, since Forgeworld said they won't make him or his rules. Â But I'm changing my mind after seeing this. It looks like it could be Bjorn although he appears to be wearing Tartaros terminator armor. This lines up with what FW have said, if GW does him and had "rules" for him, then it means Forgeworld can still not put his rules in the prospero book as they have said over and over.

Â Argel Tal, Shiban, Corswain, Polux, Loken, Garro, Tarvin etc; Â Obviously weren't "nobody's" before the specific events that launched them to Legion wide fame. That isn't what people are referring too. Â It's not a Khayon->Black Legion Khayon level change. Â It's a Abbadon-> Black Legion Abbadon level change.

Not only is it going off target, but it's one that's been covered enough already.  WLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Russ realised the strength of Bjorn's wyrd before Prosperous and thus gave him certain privileges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Anyone up gor trading their Wolves for the custards & T-Sons? If its anything like B@C, and the image seems to corroborate this, we're likely to get unmarked Marines in Mk III, enough for both sides. The only obviously marked stuff looks to be the Custodes and any Characters they would include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I can't tell but does the SW character have one powerclaw or two? Two might suggest Wolf Lord Ogvai Ogvai Helmschrot of the 3rd Great Company rather than Bjorn. Either way, looking forward to more leaks soon!

Xenaur Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 BREAKING  Sigmarines come to heresy  I just hope that isn't meant to be valdor...  Hmm suppose I shouldn't pass judgement on these until we get better images I just find it hard to believe GW can do a good job of plastic custodes.
