THE GUARD OF THE CRIMSON KING £389.50

Guard of the Crimson King

Description

In the days before Nikaea, when the Thousand Sons took to the field and encountered a foe so mighty that their own master Magnus The Red deemed it required that he take to the battlefield to best it, he often did so at the head of a configuration of his Sekhmet supported by the deadliest elements of his arcane Legion. Before the Guard of the Crimson King, foul Xenos warlords that had slain whole worlds and mysterious entities hellish beyond description fell broken.

MAGNUS THE RED, PRIMARCH OF THE THOUSAND SONS LEGION £80

MagnustheRed07

Description

Magnus the Red was unique among the Primarchs. Above all his brothers, Magnus the Red was the most numinous, a psyker of prodigious power. His very essence boiled with psychic potential, to the extent that his physical form seemed likely to be more a matter of will, and those who fell under his cyclopean gaze would feel their thoughts and substance to be no more opaque than glass, their innermost secrets laid open beneath the Crimson King’s stare. In battle, Magnus the Red fought like a mythical god; fire wreathed him and followed in his wake like a burning cloak.

Possessed of a supreme intelligence and a hunger for knowledge, Magnus saw himself and his Legion as creators of the future. Others might think of themselves as working for the betterment of Mankind, even of being bearers of the Imperium’s ideals, however Magnus saw another path. To him the Great Crusade, and each step on its bloody path, was a step from the darkness of ignorance into the light of reason and knowledge.

MagnustheRed05

Magnus scowls beneath gloriously ornate armour, featuring a cape, crest and shoulder horns along with the shining plates and pauldrons. His right hand is given over to the summoning of warpfire, and his left brandishes the Blade of Ahn-Nunurta – as to be expected for a model supplied with such a detailed base, the model itself is a riot of detail ripe for the eager painter to pick out. The diorama base is a shining example of the psychic might of Magnus, depicting the Primarch standing atop a rocky outcrop surrounded by the billowing warpfire he summons to annihilate those who stand between him and glory.

A detailed construction guide is included – to keep the gaming base removable, care is required with glue, and there is a spare cape clasp in the kit (it’s an especially delicate piece!) Should you wish to add another layer of base this model can be placed, along with Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, in the Magnus & Leman Russ Diorama Base (sold separately.)

MagnustheRed01

This 47-part resin kit contains all the components needed to assemble this appropriately spectacular Magnus The Red miniature. It comes with two bases – one 40mm gaming base with minimal (yet still impressive) detail, and a 60mm diorama base.

Rules for Magnus The Red are available in The Horus Heresy Book Seven – Inferno.

MAGNUS & RUSS – THE PRIMARCHS’ DUEL £170

PrimarchsDuel01

Description

In the midst of Tizca’s ruins with the æther whirling about them as a world died, its armies scattered and blood in the air, there was no creature born better suited to triumph in such a hell than the Wolf King, though Magnus would not be brought low without grievous cost…

Recreate the iconic battle that raged on Prospero between Magnus The Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons Legion and Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves with this bundle, specially put together to assemble an incredible diorama. You’ll receive both Primarchs and a diorama base:

MagnustheRed01

Leman Russ, wearing exceptionally detailed armour that features runes, pelts and the markings of the Space Wolves Legion along with a selection of ranged and close combat weapons. He is depicted charging to battle through the ruins of Prospero, featuring icons of the Thousand Sons Legion;
