Lotara is awesome.

That Angron is ugly as hell, and not in a good way.  If the Schtick of all the Ascended FW primarchs is going to be "Stupidly large wings" then i'm out. It made some sense with Fulgrim, I don't get the same feeling with Angron.

Well thats a a nice surprise reveal.

Angron did look kinda weird at first but I think he is fine. He's just not as thick as I would have expected and kinda looks like he is mid transformation but I guess thats exactly what he is supposed to look like

I always loved the way Lotara was portrayed in the HH books.  But seeing the 1 eyed model, how was she such a master of naval warfare with no depth perception? 

[Borbarad]

Uggghh… all those fiddly resin bits on Angron will be a nightmare to build

The FW Daemons Primarchs are probably all intended more as painter/display pieces you have sat on your shelf than as practical gaming models, since they know 99% of people will just run the cheaper plastic 40k versions folks will be less worried about breaking.

Angron is very cool, has a still transforming, not yet in his final form look.

 

The Lortara Sarrin model is ugly.  Something off about the legs and hands.

Since I am not allowed to post my gif anymore, hopefully this will be allowed 

 

I really like it, some people dislike it compared to the 40K version but I love how we get a big change in what they look like.

Really dislike this Angron. There's just..... too much of him. Not just because of the ridiculous wings, but because of all the armor detailing, the spikes, the bling, the skulls, which bleed together so much, it's hard to focus on any one thing. It's one of those models I have sub-zero desire to put paint on.

 

And then he's standing over a Blood Angel, which would put this Angron around the Siege/Eternity Wall... but we've had artworks of him from that time, and he's looking decidedly less monstrous and more human here, which I could buy for his ascension during the Guilliman confrontation, but not the nightmare he has become since. There is nothing human about Angron during the Siege, he's a force of nature, and the 40k model presents that far better than the FW one, even if we were to make the argument that having his Nails ripped out by Sanguinius just before being banished for the first time was a catalyst for him becoming even more monstrous.

 

The argument of him still transforming completely clashes with the timeline presented here, and not even with his depictions pre-Ullanor.

 

That being said, it's nice to have a Lotara model, but on the flipside.... She doesn't really fit in. Again, the paintjob makes it clear this is a Siege-era Lotara, but she's primarily a ship mistress, with a terrible fate awaiting her aboard the Conqueror, but none that comes down to fighting Loyalists in boarding actions herself. She just doesn't seem like the character to put on the tabletop. It's a collectors' model in my opinion, not a tabletop one to join an army.

GW’s priorities are truly baffling. World Eaters still don’t have a praetor. The only new model that WE have received for Heresy in the past decade has been a Blackshield loyalist.

 

So, what to they do? Release a human non-Astartes character that shouldn’t ever be on a battlefield as she is a ship captain, not a field commander. THE NAILS ARE A-BITIN SO HARD.

[Burni]

Once again baffled by their announcement strategy. Why dump this on a random Thurs err Friday with another mini!

 

Anyway love the character of Sarrin but meh on the model. Never really liked any of the Angron models but this is by far the worst. I think the wings on the jpeg broke when I scrolled the page...

[ZeroWolf]

This angron model...is fine? I guess? Not sure what I was expecting from the rumours given that they would want to steer clear of the 40k model but this...hmm. Yeah not really for me, which is fine as there is bound to be some that absolutely love it.

[INKS]

I actually like this Angron more than the 40k one. His wings seem too big, but I really like the armor on this one.

[Alby the Slayer]

WH40k Angron is the superior Angron. No contest.

 

Those wings are... baffling.

And the rest is ugly like @DemonGSides said and not in a good way, sadly.

 

Lotara, that I want.

[arnesh88]

Angron looks like the soldier that drank WAY too much of dr. jekyll's formula from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's movie:

 

At least the color-scheme does

They really will make anything but the missing Raven Guard and Salamanders models wont they .

 

Its ok, not my cup of tea, seems like a weird priority to release with so many key minis still missing after more then a decade but hey its something. 

 

Wonder if we get a second Corax and Vulkan before their praetors.  

[skylerboodie]

Really like Lotara mini but definitely feels better suited for a Black Library commemorative release than a gaming model.

 

Angron, I just don't like it at all; the wings, the bling, the sharp face and rangy frame. I like the base and its details at least.

[darkhorse0607]

Instant buy for the Lotarra mini

 

Angron, not as sold on. The body is amazing, the wings kind of sell it short for me. It just feels unbalanced, which yeah chaos, but having a massive body then tiny wings throws it off for me

 

Still, what a day getting a Lotarra mini

I quite like it personally. He still looks pretty monstrous but I can buy the reasoning that the Daemon Primarchs didn't finish their transformations until the first time they were banished and the last vestiges of the mortal shells were destroyed.

[Ubiquitous1984]

I'm surprised that the LS model wasn't a BL Celebration release to coincide with a HH Character series novel about her.  This release, although welcome, feels very random!

[crimsondave]

I like the look, but, just like Fulgrim, I’m not buying a resin model with wings like that.  As soon as I finished painting it I’d be trying to figure out how to pin the broken wing back on.

I don’t like the “swole Bloodthirster” look of 40kgron, so I like the principle that this model is going for, but some things are just off. The head is too narrow, and looks too much like an older woman. Actually, given GW’s sculpting of female faces, this could definitely pass for a GW attempt at a female demon prince.

 

The wings are a spindly nightmare at their narrow joints, and are way too big, and overshadow the rest of the model. The armor is cool though. I like that you can see more of his former self in this form, rather than just being a big demon with hooves and a tail.

[Matcap86]

Seriously, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Their way of previewing releases makes no goddamn sense. There's a preview event coming up and we just had one, but we just dump a primarch model in a filler article on the community site??
