Necromunda Hermiatus the Second Son

[Lord Marshal]

Have some tentacles with your tendrils.

 

[Orion]

Am I out of the loop or is this conceptually very new?

 

Very cool model and idea.

[Wormwoods]

Holy cuss, that's gorgeous. Does a better job of capturing that Blanche-art style than those 3rd party models he was involved in recently. I suppose a big, gross techpriest is cheating in that regard. 

[INKS]

Good model for AM army if you can remove the little guy

[Etruscan]

Wow, that is just fabulous. Tempted to purchase just to do a 'Loyalist' conversion minus the little gene stealer beastie.

[skylerboodie]

I was thinking more Dark Mechanicum, with removal or a daemon head for the creature

[lhg033]

Lovely model though the left hand fingers seem a bit sausage-y. possibly just the angle and/or paint style

 

Looking forward to seeing what some of those on the B&C will do with this

Talk about a malstrain...

[Jareddm]

Quote

 Once the Tech-Priest’s crimes were uncovered, he was captured and purged by the Inquisition… but an echo of Hermiatus lives on, captured in the gestalt psychic consciousness of the Malstrain.

As if cursed by some cosmic irony, the entity known as Hermiatus the Second Son is the creation of the Malstrain Patriarch, a genetic memory dredged up and given form over and again.

Huh. That's pretty cool. Didn't know Patriarchs could do that. Though I suppose it's a bit like a hivefleet able to bring back Old One Eye or the Doom of Malen'tai

[Marshal Rohr]

Well that’s amazing. 

[ThePenitentOne]

I will buy this model- probably going to be my first Forgeworld purchase. Wonder when it goes on sale?

 

I also want the two navy dudes, but I might wait to see the Agents release wave first. 

[ZeroWolf]

Stop tempting me GW! I was already doing Malstrain anyway

Which Navy dudes?

[The4thHorseman]

Perfect for any 30k DarkMech.

[roryokane]

Holy wow, this is cool. Anyone else feel like this is a bit of a dry run for DarkMech?

[RedFox]

Loving all those new genestealers necromunda models!

 

Makes me want to start a small GSC army, maybe ad mech themed...what could this guy count as in a GSC army?

Article states "Hermiatus also fills the role of a more traditional Genestealer Cult’s Magus"

[General Strike]

This is really cool, I am loving a lot of these Munda minis lately. 

[Noserenda]

Very nice! People thinking a clean version just needs the familiar removing probably need to take a closer look though lol 

Its also pretty funny that hes essentially an overgrown familiar and has one himself :D 

[TheWarmaster]

Honestly.. Necromunda gets the best models and scenery. They really capture the gritty, grim-dark feel of the 40K universe better than anything.

This.

Feels like more what 40k miniature releases should be and I'm glad they expand necromunda in this way. Much better than ashlands or whatever that was.

 

I hope they will release it by this year.

Also GSC can still take AM techpriest right?

[Cactus]

A genestealer hybrid cosplaying as a Tech Priest?    I was always a bit scornful of Newcromunda but this could pull me in.

[Marshal Mittens]

This is very cool. And the lore sounds awesome as well. 

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

That is a pretty stunning model I have to say.
