What's the lore behind him wearing the leather suit?

He spent a bit of time learning from the Dark Eldar Haemonculi. Probably picked up on multiple techniques and more than a few quirks. Like wearing human skin jackets.

I always felt the model was a bit too weird looking, as much as that is obviously the intent it doesn't work so well for me :tongue.: Might be seeing a skinny Marine that feels too odd, but I was always planning to convert my own so not a big deal for me. It'd be good to see people getting him on the table top more with this release (when we get it). Is it too much to hope that he can get some spruced up rules?

 

I really hope this means an EC release, rather than an Inquisition style approach for Chaos. If anyone knows anything about the Inquisition you'd know what that entails for support :ermm:

I'll wait to be convinced unfortunately... the fate of Stormtroopers and Inquisition gives me little faith in micro factions :confused: Model is nice though, now we can see the whole thing. I'm still leaning towards converting my own but I'll wait and see how I feel after seeing it in person.

Oh I will definitely be getting the model. Except for the nose I love it and it is my favourite 40k character after all!

The bell pepper nose isn’t working for me either. I always picture his features gaunt and narrow.

 

Other than that I am digging what I’ve been seeing.

I think it's more funny that so many vehemently deny his continued link to the EC since short stories (Prodigal, Repairer of Ruin) and novels (The two first installments of the Fabius triology from Josh Reynolds) revolving around him has Fabius dealing with Emperor's Children warbands, either with his blessing or against his will.
He might not operate as an EC, but his past seems to catch up with him at every opportunity, and Fabius has several EC marines in his consortium (as well as renegades and legionaires from several other warbands), and a full group of Noise Marines under his command in the latest Josh Reyknolds books.

He even appears a lot in the Lucius: The Faultless Blade book which clearly is an EC centred book. It is quite apparant to me that Fabius' dealings with his former legion aren't over.

Of course he might not have the keyword, or appear in a Slaanesh supplement, but denying that his prescence could easily tie into the alluded EC arc that has appeared as snippets in the other Psychic Awakening books seems like denying an obvious connection.

I just think that people focus way too much on Fabius severing himself from the main part of the 3rd Legion, since until the recent possibility of a Fulgrim release, a Legion that is infamous for its fracture and split into several independent warbands.

Of course his dealings with his former legion aren't over. Nobody claimed that. He's an independent and influential guy with a past that keeps clashing with all kinds of other factions. That won't stop. 

At the same time though these books have also shown that he has absolutely and without doubt no interest in joining EC again. It goes completely against his interests. Having some EC members that are more or less loyal to him work for him is one thing but joining up with the legion, especially now that Fulgrim is active again, is a very very different topic.
