Forge World Release The Mighty Warmaster Horus!
March 19, 2014 by brennon
We glimpsed Warmaster Horus in a snippet taken from a White Dwarf magazine but now Forge World have put the mighty leader up for pre-order. See what you think of him...
He looks a lot better here than he did in the White Dwarf preview. I love the amount of detail that's been worked into his armour, and the facial detail is outstanding; the paint job certainly helps there. Once again the only quibble I think people are going to have is that his cape is a bit odd. It just doesn't seem as detailed as the rest of him.
Even from behind where you see the detail it still doesn't look right to me. Maybe it could have been made more battleworn to give it a lived in feeling. After all being a Warmaster and directing his Space Marine brothers in combat isn't going to be without it's share of fabric folly.
Will this have pride of place in your Primarch collection?
I really like this.
In the first leak post about this I said it was probably the best space marine face any part of GW has put out, and now the official pics are out I still think so.
I’ve been patiently waiting for my Sanguinius, but I may have to get this one it is so good.
I’m trying out a new way of painting black on some death company, using blues, greys and purples and no actual black, so if thats successful I may try it with this.
Now, how to paint marble for the base…
Now that is a beautiful looking mini. For painters, this could be the centerpiece of a collection. I hope to get a chance to pick one up in the future.
He’s not the War Master, he’s a very naughty boy 😉 Nice mini for a ‘ne’er do well’.
THAT’s a great mini!! imagine 40K on a skirmish level (max 5 char) with each mini sculp with such great details and perfection. I would go back to 40K in the blink of an eye. FW studio, once again, awesome work.
This sculpt id actually consider getting .. simply beautiful
He’s just a big ole pussycat.
Absolutely beautiful mini. I can’t wait to get him along side my Sons of Horus. I am contemplating a Justaerin squad painted with the same colours as Horus here to give a really nice bodyguard unit. I just need to figure out how I will paint the marble on the eagle head and the trim that isn’t a striking gold.
10/10 will be placing my pre-order this evening.
I’m waiting for Russ and the heresy Space Wolves.
Dam it this is gorgeous, I’m going to have to buy and paint this, simply stunning!
Waiting wih baited breath for Vulkan to come out, then they can shut up and take my money!
Will be cool to see conversions that people come up with!
They outdid themselves this time….
i’ve got my pre-order in. Thinking of orderring some new justaerin for his bodyguard to paint up before its release.
Probably the most exquisitely executed 40k miniature I have ever seen!
Honestly, not hugely impressed. Given that it is Horus I guess that a lot would have been expected though. Ah well
