Loken Defiant – Forge World Best in Show
The votes are in and we have a winner! One of the most inspirational figures from the Heresy, and perhaps the whole character line overall, Gavriel Loken has won Forge World’s best in show award at this years Weekender.
Painted by Andy Wardle this version of Loken quite the sight to behold.

He also painted this Horus as well!
Grats Andy! I doubt we’ll ever see this level of detail in plastic from Games Workshop, but plastic Heresy era armor would awesome if the rumors are true!
Which of these do you like more, Loken or Horus?
