Orange Knight Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'm guessing the Lion himself will be released in this box initially, and not as a stand alone model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalt Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 GW did the same with Guilliman back in the Gathering Storm days, right? He was bundled with other characters IIRC. So did Yvraine with the Triumvirate of Ynnead, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVoidDragon Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Don't boxes usually have a photo of the miniatures on the front? Big starter sets and such sometimes don't and just have artwork, but something so simple like this just looks a bit strange.

CL_Mission Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 4 models? maybe; Lion Lazarus Cypher Azrael Assuming it's going to be all plastic models. If there was more Dark Angels models to come I would have thought we'd seen them already but I'm happy to be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I doubt Azrael will be in it if he was just in another box, they'll want you to have bought both. I suspect the bodyguard unit is 3 models, and might be paired with the Lion for his initial release and then standalone later if they aren't specifically tied to him.

Not normally, as they don't have separate bases. For example, the Triumph of Saint Katherine is labeled as '1 Citadel Miniature'.

Well if it is a new unit that's very exciting! I don't really have time to revisit Dark Angels now but maybe I do actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL_Mission Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 lol, ah well. Bladeguard are great, one of my favourite new models but not as exciting as the potential of a DA specific unit.

Brother Captain Arkley Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Man I can't wait to get the Lion. Mini of the year is going to be genuinely difficult for me... The Lion or Angron. 1 minute ago, CL_Mission said: lol, ah well. Bladeguard are great, one of my favourite new models but not as exciting as the potential of a DA specific unit. Yeah I get the disappointment but the DA will get their time in the sun and I for one will be waiting and listening to my wallet cry :D.

Orange Knight Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 In fairness the Bladeguard are a great pairing with the Lion. What wouls have made this set truly special is a Dark Angels themed upgrade sprue. Different shields and helmets would be amazing for this unit. But all being said, this will not be a crushingly expensive set, and everything in it is great.

Wraithwing Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I think Valrak mentioned these sometime ago, but seemed to indicate they would be new minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is someone who normally gets early previews... I would imagine this will be the last time! Although a cursory glance over the instagram account doesn't seem to show any obvious signs of getting early previews. There's mention of buying Angron from an FLGS for example.
