Slaanesh is back in a BIG way, but the question on everyone’s mind seems to be if a serpentine Fulgrim model is next for Warhammer 40k.
So far sources have been spot on for the latest 40k Previews, which may be leading up to a big reveal of a Daemon Fulgrim model himself after all the new Orks roll out this month:
Is Daemon Primarch Fulgrim Next For 40k?
Sources have told us that we can expect to see not only a new box set for the Aeldari / Ynnari, but also some Slaanesh tidbits:
- a new box set will come out similar to the Speed Freeks Box for Orks. Sources indicate it will be for Aeldari / Ynnari. CONFIRMED
- Fiends of Slaanesh will be getting a new model (finally)
- A new Slaaneshi model will feature a female looking form playing the harp on a guy’s skin
- Fugrim is also supposedly 100% in the works as well
If you hadn’t heard, GW dropped a little teaser video showing some bits left on a sprue that had some real big spikey pieces on it. You couldn’t really tell from the video exactly what kind of model would fit the bits. But at the very end, the Fiend in all its glory was revealed.
We just now saw the new model but there’s still no date for its release. Keep an eye out for this little monster soon.
Daemon Fulgrim On Deck?
Fulgrim has been the spotlight of rumors lately as well, and according to some folks his model is already finished and they did testing of his model on Morathi in AoS.
See the resemblance of the snake-body and wings? Now check out these Rumor Engine bits we’ve seen in the past that may point towards a Slaaneshi figure.
Slaanesh doesn’t skimp on elegance. This could be the top of the Headdress that Fulgrim is wearing in his ascended state. The horns and a big gem in the center just give the Slaanesh vibe.
This Rumor bit is still hot off the press and when you compare it to Fulgrim’s lower torso in the art above, you can see some striking resemblances.
Lastly, the markings on these scales wouldn’t be something to put past Slaanesh. The actual body part in the bit must be the end of a long tail because of how thin it really is.
As for lore advancement, it sounds like Fulgrim left his pleasure world to go deal with some Imperial Guard.
So who could be showing up first? As we come close to the holiday season, it’s a matter of sitting back and watching. GWs schedule has been hectic as they’ve been spewing out new releases this summer, but one thing is for sure now; Slaanesh is on deck.
What do you think about these rumors? Who will be the first to hit the shelves? Which Daemon Primarch are you hoping to see next?
