If there is one thing GW is famous for, it’s bad photography of it’s minis before they release. Come see just how good the new Legion Herald is!
For this weekend only the Forge World Heralded will be available exclusively in GW and Warhammer Stores, but a lot of folks have been knocking his “looks”
a Dakka user for instance had this to say about the new mini:
usually try to get all the limited models… but god this thing makes me want to vomit.
Strike 1: ultramarine molded symbols
Strike 2: …that….face
Strike 3: Massive diabetic legs, fat hips, beer gut, tiny shoulders
But in the latest reveal of the actual model itself (painted and unpainted below) I don’t think it looks bad at all. Matter of fact i’m thinking about how I can shave off those pesky “U” symbols to make it more “irony”
Ultramarines Legion Herald
One weekend only: Don’t miss it!

This weekend, Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd October, make sure you get down to your local Games Workshop or Warhammer Store. For one weekend only there’ll be a Forge World model on sale EXCLUSIVELY in stores. It’ll only be available for the weekend, and only in store, so don’t miss out!
Great honour and responsibility is bestowed upon Legion Heralds, as they carry the banners of the Legion and icons of their Primarch into battle. At the Battle of Calth, as brave Sons of Guilliman fell and the Legion was torn appart by the terecherous Word Bearers, Ultramarines Legion Heralds stood firm as as rallying points amidst the carnage and devastation.
Equipped with artificer armour, power sword, bolt pistol and a magnificent Banner of the Aquilla featuring Ultramarines Iconography, the Ultramarines Legion Herald is a highly detailed, multi-part resin model. You’ll find rules for including him in your Ultramarines Legion army in Horus Heresy games in the box.
This Heralded model is only available this weekend at Game Workshop and Warhammer Stores so don’t hesitate! They will be gone before you know it!
