Horus Heresy Angron Transfigured + Lotara Sarrin

[Fire Golem]

I wish I was seeing what others were with Lotara, I think she’s pretty rubbish. Disappointing as she’s one of my favourite characters, although I never expected her to get a model at all so I guess it’s a wash. 

[grailkeeper]

Did Lotarra have one eye before? Looks like she also has the butchers nails.

 

Dont remember her having a sword. They should have given her her trademark pistol. Maybe its possible as an alternate bit.

I like them, but still waiting on plastic Breachers.

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

It's Valentine's Day. I expect there's plenty of fan-fiction out there featuring Lotarra and Angron but please, nobody go looking and prove me right!

 

I rather like this interpretation of Angron but it does remind me I still haven't built my pre-transformation model.

I like the shin guards, I like the naval dress, I like the bloody hand print (Though I'm sure that's just painted on).  I like that she's evocative of the WE with a snarling visage.  I like the WE iconagraphy all over, really.

[Flaherty]

Angron's proportions are baffling. The Torso is a box but his legs and head have an almost gazelle-like elongated quality. 

 

This seems like a huge waste of sculpting resources. The 40K model is better in almost every way. Just allow people to use the 40K primarch models in 30K. I know they don't like to cross model lines but it's currently two models.

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 coming up and we just had one, but we just dump a primarch model in a filler article on the community site?? 

Don’t get me started, they could do SO MUCH more generate talk and hype

[Captain Idaho]

That Angron to me is possibly the best miniature we'll see 2025 already.

 

It's amazing and makes the 40K one look almost cartoon-juvenile in comparison.

 

I'd collect World Eaters for that model alone it's that good.

[bloodhound23]

Head is too small. Very weird looking design, looks like Handsome Squidward. 
 

Yeah, I really don’t get their priorities. 
 

I like the Lotarra model, but yeah.

"Unusually for a Primarch, his weapons hold no names nor special provenance, as Angron cared little for what he killed with". Out of all the primarchs, Angron probably has the most amount of named weapons lol what are you talking about

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.

The wings are so big for a specific reason. Gee-Dubbs is in cahoots with IKEA:

 

"There can only be one in your glass cabinet."

 

I guess gamers need to construct lots of Swedish furniture in the future instead of fiddling with overcomplicated minis from Nottingham. At least you don´t need to basecoat and paint it. Should be a welcome change from the daily grind.

[Ammonius]

What a surprise to see Lotara in miniature form! I love the "invisible orange" left hand grip!

I feel that she shouldn't be getting her boots dirty on a terrestrial battlefield, but maybe there's use for the model painted like a gold statue and used as an objective marker? 

[TheHaplessHeretic]

I'm trying to not to a small ZM World Eaters force. FW is making it hard.

In the Betrayer novel she has no Butcher´s nails. And I agree that it looks weird on her although there may be a possibility that she also had to undergo the treatment when the Siege of Terra began. Readers of that book might know more on that subject.

 

The model might be okay for a Stargrave Captain but she has no relevance for 30K battles unless you want to recreate a boarding mission in which Ultramarines board the Conqueror and Lotarra and her staff make a last stand on the bridge. 

[Preliminary Bombardment]

Is that the first ever female HH model?

 

Genuine question as I’m not familiar with the range!

There are Sisters of Silence and their General Jenetia Krole. :)

Nah, there is sisters of silence as well (even if you count the plastic kit equally as 40k/HH then there is still jenethia krole), and I think the old big scorpion mechanicum priest is also female but not sure.
A short time ago there also was a techpriest inquisitorish miniature that people mistook for Necromunda ( or... was it necromunda and do I now mistake it for horus heresy ? )

 

edit : 

I was wrong, I thought scoria was a female name, but it isnt the first name to begin with

Something off about this Angron. That makes me sad.

[Guiltysparc]

I love that they released this on valentine's day, though i'm not sure about the models.  I think its just the picture, but the angron model looks wrong.  In the video, it looks better, so i think it might be the angle of the image.

[DuskRaider]

I think I like this? I do like that they’ve given him more of a “human” look than the outright Bloodthirster-esque 40K model, it hints to his origins… even if it looks a bit weird. I like the extra detail in the armor and whatnot. 
 

At the end of the day, they had to do something different with him to differentiate this model from the 40K version. I think they did an alright job of it. It’s definitely not as nice as the FW Daemon Fulgrim however, which is a piece of art compared to the 40K version.

[ArielRSA]

Something about his head and armour make him look like a Cardassian to me. I find it off putting

[Jukkiz]

Can´t really say what´s going on about Angron, like he would be shedding his flesh more then being pumped up to become daemon primarch, i guess?

Lotara model though, could been way better mini with mix of imperial advisors, navy commander and lotara art. ALSO! Did lotara get butchers nails at somepoint or are their sculpting team just really weird with hair?

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.

 

You put my thought into words almost exactly.
