It looks like he is no longer an exile! New images of Ahriman are here already as Games Workshop starts to promote their latest 40k release drop!

This new re-imagining of Ahriman follows a similar philosophy to the Khârn the Betrayer model we saw earlier this year. Still recognisably the same iconic figure, but with all dynamism and intricate detail that can now be achieved in plastic.
The most obvious change is the disk. Which we feel is fitting – it’s about time the most powerful mortal sorcerer in the galaxy didn’t have to walk.
Ahriman, along with the rest of the Thousand Sons, will be available to pre-order next weekend.
The new model really keeps true to the old styling with the staff and backpack elements still essentially the same, just tweeked to a more crisp 2016 render. His Helm and robe also retains their classic styling from the 1990’s, while the model as a whole gained a ton of falir with the warpflame elements and new disc mount.
So we know for sure now these guys will be on sale in just one week, let the countdown begin!
The latest on new 40k:

Games Workshop just posted up some new pictures, and gave a few tantilizing details of the new releases early Saturday Morning:
It seems like 10,000 years since we’ve seen a new multipart plastic kit for one of the Chaos Space Marine Legions, but the wait has been worth it. The new models are phenomenal – dripping in detail reminiscent of the ancient cultures and sorceries of lost Prospero.
Gamers amongst you will notice some new weapons on there too: flamers and heavy weapons alongside the better known bolters. I know what you’re thinking, do they have awesome new rules? They totally do.
Woah! new Terminators? Rubric Marines we were perhaps expecting, but this is a welcome surprise. The Scarab Occult are the Legion elite, clad in armour with hints of the Tartarus pattern armour of ages past (like in the Burning of Prospero box! See what we did there?)
And these guys! Tzaangors, who we’ve previously seen prowling the Silver Towers of the Mortal Realms, make their Warhammer 40,000 debut. Thousand Sons are an elite force, so the option to have a horde of… more expendable warriors to soak up a bit of enemy fire will, we’re sure, be welcomed by Tzeentchian generals.
And of course, the Sorcerers themselves: each more powerful than any weak-blooded Librarian of the Space Marines Chapters, steeped in 10,000 years of arcane lore and blessed by the master of Fate himself.
The models are impressive indeed. Where the Rubric Marines have remained untouched by Tzeentch’s warping power, the same is not true of his true champions. The Exalted Sorcerers exhibit a range of strange avian mutations, making them stand out from the ashen-automata of the wider Legion.
And that still isn’t all.
We’ll be back later today with a close-up look at the new Ahriman model…
So what we know right now:
- Five new kits are on the way for Chaos and the new Wrath of Magnus Supplement.
- Judging by the Magnus teaser on Friday and the lack of pre-orders on GW’s site, these models will go on sale November 25th.
- The Thousand Sons have access to some sort of Rotor weapon for both their Terminators and Power Armored marines
- New hobby supplies ensure everyone can get armies up and running in no time!
- There may be a second supplement on the way titled “Traitor Legions”.
