Deadnaughty Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 So, with no Lion coming out with the DA codex, its either Russ or no Loyalist Primarch in the first half of 2018 imo.

Guest Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The Fallen codex Q1 with the Lion confirmed! I keep seeing rumors of Dorn but it seems more like people wishing. At this point it really seems Russ is the most likely, unless GW throws us for a real curve ball.

The Dorn stuff I've seen sounds like he'll be out for HH, not 40K.

crd26a Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The only real questions are: When will Russ be released for 40k What version of Russ will we get after 10k years in the Warp: Old man Odin Russ or Wulfen McWulfen Russ. I'm hoping for Old Man Odin Russ but tall, broad and uber angry. Halfway between Guilliman and Magnus. Along side him we get models of Freki and Geri that the warp has caused to grow and twist to be massive, or if not them, their direct decedents (my preference). Then have Freki & Geri's pelts adorning Russ on the shoulders. The Warp Wolves should stand as tall as Guilliman in this. Would allow them to go super wolfy on the Warp Wolves while keeping a restraint on Russ, the pelts an homage to his past. When he comes back he brings a ranking member of The Fallen to throw at the feet of the Dark Angles (pushing them into conflict and eventually pushing for The Lion's return) demonstrating potential influence and the need to root out issues in the Imperium. Gives us the need to be the executioners again, setting us down that path until we eventually need to be tempered (when the Emp gets off his throne). Just make it simple and say his wolves are created due to his latent "rune priests" abilities that he has honed in the warp. I think them being as big as Guilliman is a bit too much though. It would depend on how much the Warp influences them and what the designers do with Russ. If he comes out larger than G due to his time in the Warp, it would only make sense for the wolves to grow as well. And since the Wulfen that came were larger than when they went it, I see this happening. Given current Thunderwolve models are basically as tall as a Space Marine, Warp influenced Wolves should be larger as well, as tall as G, maybe not, but in the event they came model with Russ like his 30k counterpart, they should be the biggest wolves on the battlefield. Then they can help influence Fenrisian Wolves and Cyber Wolves with a pack leader morale check and make the new bubblewrap of wolves in front even better for Rd1 & Rd2.

Deadnaughty Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 What reason is there to believe Russ would be bigger then Gman?

Stoic Raptor Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Wasn't he described as the largest of Primarchs at that time, dwarfed only by the Emperor? Or was that some old lore that got ret-conned?

Vulkan was the largest, Magnus the tallest, Alpharius-Omegon the smallest.

Or was that some old lore that got ret-conned? I see being the biggest Primarch as something different from a Warp infused Russ that has spirit dogs the size of Rhino's. Space Marines aren't all a uniform size but we don't make 8 different size poses to show it. The only Primarch that warrents a different model size is (imo) Alpharius.

I hadn't noticed that all Characters were the same size, thank you for pointing that out. It must be some kind of optical illusion that Calgar, for instance, looks larger than Ezekiel. :D We're not talking about line troops here.

Karhedron Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Here are the 9 Primarchs present at Ullanor and they all seem to be to the same scale (if not exactly the same size). There is probably some artistic license though as Magnus looks about the same size as the rest whereas he is always described as being the largest by quite a margin. Horus looks larger but I think that is due to being at the front and wearing Terminator armour. Angron looks small but I believe he is described as being perpetually hunched when not in combat due to the Nails giving him a permanent migraine. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/e8/Primarchs_big.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341866-could-the-next-primarch-be-leman-russ/page/4/#findComment-4952534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 video isn't the best but gives and idea. Magnus also played shapeshifter and could change his size, so who knows how tall he is.
